Today’s Roto Riteup spent some time alone with the office cat yesterday, and an immediate friendship was not evident.
On today’s agenda:
1. Matt Cain gets smacked, perhaps hurt
2. Matt Harvey will have start skipped
3. Prospecty Stuff
Today’s Roto Riteup author defied all stereotypes by wearing pants while writing this article. The author did not wear a shirt, though, because it’s hot as balls out.
On today’s agenda:
1. It’s finally Adam Eaton time
2. Omar Infante goes to DL
3. Yasmani Grandal’s out a full year
4. Beware Biogenesis
Rarely does the present author wade into the waters of fan subjectivity, however tomorrow his beloved Oakland A’s are being showcased to a national audience. They’ll be taking on the Pittsburgh Pirates on ESPN at 7:00 pm eastern in a clash of two division leading teams. For some clubs a national spotlight is nothing new, however for A’s fans and (assuming as much on behalf of) Pirates fans, a national broadcast is a rare and special thing.
On today’s agenda:
1. The Milwaukee Brewers swap sluggers
2. Ryan Howard to have surgery
3. Lonnie Chisenhall is all right

On this very special of days, the Roto Riteup is going to celebrate in its own special little way. Instead of the usual barrage of shit-hot news and analysis, we’re going gimmicky! Today, the Roto Riteup will touch on fantasy baseball topics relating to the theme of “independence.” You may find some of them newsy, entertaining, or (God forbid) both.
Today’s Roto Riteup focuses on yesterday’s trade between the Orioles and Cubs, because the Cubs are something of an SEO colossus. Even though he was traded, this RR does not touch on Pedro Strop, though, since I don’t want to have to crush the Bullpen Report guys in what would have been the impending turf war. Because, I mean, we got ponies on our side.
On today’s agenda:
1. Scott Feldman to the Orioles
2. Jake Arrieta to the Cubs
3. John Lackey goes bananas
4. An Update from FG: The Game
Here’s to hoping everyone had a lovely Canada Day yesterday. The lingering question is what exactly does one do on Canada Day?

2. Third time’s the charm: Adam Eaton edition
3. Trevor Cahill to the disabled list
