Nick and I started the Fireside Chat on this feed many years ago and we have now moved to a fully dedicated show on the PitcherList website. In lieu of Friday’s normal SATB episode, here is our latest Fireside!

We open the show with our primary topic which involves me asking Nick to go a bit deeper on some pitchers from his recent SP rankings. The following pitchers are highlighted:

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.

Then we move to our Games segment where we keep a scoreboard with our Streamers, Sits, Stars, and Game of the Week.

Streamers (20% at FantasyPros) (At least 10 Points):

Sit of the Week (50%+ at FantasyPros) (10 points or fewer): 

Star of the Week (50% or under at FantasyPros) (At least 15 points):  

One Game Matchup (Highest points, Wash = Both under 10 points): 

Find the full feed here or search Fireside Chat in your podcast catcher.

As usual, don’t hesitate to tweet us or comment below with fantasy questions.

You can show your support to Fangraphs by becoming a member! With a standard $10 ad-free membership or yearlong $60 ad-free membership, you help maintain and improve our database of stats and graphs as well as our staff of 8 full-time employees and over 50 contributors while gaining access to dark & classic theme modes, RosterResource Excel exports, and the optional removal of photos on the homepage.

The Twitter link for Nick Pollack is wrong. The one you used goes to a totally different Nick Pollack. Nick is @PitcherList not @NickPollack.
