Throwing Heat Week 13

July 27, 2022

Throwing Heat is in full force as we push toward the 100-game mark across the league! For those who didn’t read these articles last season, this weekly article focuses on pitchers who are pitching well.

This article’s beauty is that it highlights all types of pitchers from the best in the league to pitchers who are barely rostered. If someone is on a hot streak they will be in this article. I will also tell you if the hot streak is legit or if it appears to be a façade. I hope you enjoy it!

Bullpen Report: July 27, 2022

by Jason Martinez

July 27, 2022

The 2022 version of Bullpen Report includes five different sections, as well as the closer chart, which can be found at the bottom of the page.

Notable Workloads: Primary closers or valuable members of a closer committee who have been deemed unavailable or likely unavailable for the current day due to recent workload.
Injury News
Outlier Saves: Explanation for a non-closer earning a save during the previous day.
Committee Clarity: Notes on a closer committee that clarify a pitcher’s standing in the group.
Losing A Grip: Struggling closers who could be on the hot seat.

The “RosterResource” link will take you to the corresponding team’s RosterResource depth chart, which will give you a better picture of the full bullpen and results of the previous six days (pitch count, save, hold, win, loss, blown save.)

Big Kid Adds (7/26/22)

by Jeff Zimmerman

July 26, 2022

While the NFBC Main Event garners most of the attention, there are a handful of leagues with even a larger entry fee ($2.5K to $15K). They get originally named “High Stakes Leagues” and this year there are nine of them. With so much money on the line, these fantasy managers are going to try to gain any advantage. Most of the time, these managers will be a week or two ahead of everyone else on their adds. Here are the players and some information on the ones added in five or more of these leagues: Read the rest of this entry »

Boxscore Bits: July 25th, 2022

by Paul Sporer

July 25, 2022

I’m curious if there are specific things you’d like to see me do beyond the pitcher review. I still haven’t figured out a good Monday one. Maybe the pitcher review is enough, but I’m open to ideas if y’all would like more stuff besides the weekend streamers and FAAB picks which are the two that have really stuck around the most consistently on Thursday & Friday, respectively.

A few thoughts on the pitchers from the weekend’s games:

Injury News
Outlier Saves: Explanation for a non-closer earning a save during the previous day.
Committee Clarity: Notes on a closer committee that clarify a pitcher’s standing in the group.
