Yesterday marked the fifth anniversary of the film “Inglorious Basterds” being released in the United States. Linked is a synopsis of the plot (warning: language, duh).
On today’s agenda:
1. A strong outing for Matt Shoemaker
2. Phil Hughes cruises
3. The daily five
Just a tip for all Roto Riteup readers: don’t go on a Criminal Minds binge in the evening; you may wet yourself in the night.
On today’s agenda:
1. Garrett Richards goes down
2. Clayton Kershaw moved up to today
3. Brandon Belt out another three weeks
4. Fun with arbitrary endpoints
5. The Falconine Five
Tuesday is often my favorite night of the week, simply because I get to watch a couple hours of Chopped. So while it’s Wednesday now, this Roto Riteup was written in a state of bliss last night.
On today’s agenda:
1. Yu Darvish’s return now uncertain
2. Travis Snider’s slugging
3. Pedro Alvarez and first base
4. The Frank Five
Tomorrow will be the 25th anniversary of the show “Saved by the Bell” debuting. Somewhat surprisingly — though probably due to legal reasons — the intro proved tricky to find in any decent quality. Linked is the best I could do.
On today’s agenda:
1. The return of Mookie Betts
2. Welcome back, Brandon Phillips
3. Dustin Ackley’s second half
4. The daily five
I have an announcement, but first, I want to thank everyone for reading the Roto Riteup over these past couple years. My announcement is simple: this is not my last Roto Riteup. You’re stuck with me for a while more.
On today’s agenda:
1. Gerrit Cole returns this week
2. Yonder Alonso done for year
3. Carlos Martinez recalled
4. David Buchanan solid again
5. The Fortunate Five
Happy national thrift shop day! No, you don’t have to listen to Macklemore (warning: language) and even if you don’t plan on buying anything, you should at least donate some things to your local Goodwill type places. I myself have found things from video games to records to amazing sweaters all at thrift shops.
On today’s agenda:
1. Seth Smith keeps hitting
2. Homer Bailey to the disabled list
3. Welcome back, Michael Cuddyer
4. The daily five
Today is the 18th anniversary of the film “Tin Cup” being released. I can’t say I love the film in its entirety, however the last hole on the last day of the tournament is a pretty fantastic sequence of events (apologies for the poor quality).
On today’s agenda:
1. Welcome back, Edwin Encarnacion
2. Danny Salazar to start tomorrow
3. A solid outing for James Paxton
4. The daily five
Thursday is the best day at the Roto Riteup, and this go-around is even better thanks to a massive helping of arbitrary endpoints.
On today’s agenda:
1. Byron Buxton injured in first Double-A game
2. Yu Darvish to the DL
3. Kyle Lohse hurts an ankle
4. Fun with Arbitrary Endpoints
5. The Furibund Five
“There was a time when people didn’t go out of their house on Wednesday morning because the Roto Riteup was online.” – Ed McMahon, who wouldn’t lie on the internet
On today’s agenda:
1. Buck Farmer to debut today
2. Manny Machado’s sprained right knee
3. Ricky Nolasco to return Friday
4. George Springer needs a fortnight
5. The Ferriferous Five
Hi. It’s Monday. This is the Roto Riteup.
On today’s agenda:
1. Dustin Pedroia heating up
2. The Blue Jays and Tigers are tired
3. Anibal Sanchez to DL
4. The Felicitous Five
