The Daily Grind: The Fastest Grind Possible

by
June 4, 2019

Hey there loyal readers. I’ve been under the weather with some kind of crappy summer cold. It’s not too bad, I just can’t look at a computer screen without weeping copiously and eventually breaking down into a sneezing fit. Here it comes…

five minutes later

Anyway, I’m going to skip the analysis for today. However, the good folks at FantasyDraft went through the effort of making a contest today so y’all should play it. Hopefully I’ll be better by tomorrow.

AGENDA

  1. TDG Invitational
  2. Weather Reports
  3. Pitchers to Use and Abuse
  4. SaberSim Says…

1.The Daily Grind Invitational

You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

Of course my opportunity to gloat comes when I’m simply not feeling up to it. Last Friday, I scored the second highest point total of the season. It’s listed in the top right of the Leaderboard.

We appear to have a full 15-game slate for this evening’s no rake GPP on FantasyDraft. I might not be there. If you’re feeling generous, do a little Twitter recruitment on my behalf.

If you have not signed up for FantasyDraft, please use this referral link for tracking purposes. If I understand properly, by using the referral, you will receive a 10 percent return on any rakes you pay.
