Hey, look at this! I got two tickets for the Astros’ Broadway remake of Weekend at Bernie’s! How cool is this? You know I’ll be seated! Later, the lights dim and the curtains go up. On stage, there’s a home plate with an impatient ump and catcher. The ump yells, “This is going to be […]

Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.
It’s finally a new month! That shouldn’t really mean anything in terms of baseball statistics and how they impact my fantasy teams, but if any of the slow-starting hitters that I’m rostering think that changing the calendar page will help them get going, maybe it actually will help them get going, which would be fine […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Now that it’s May, we can stop saying “It’s only April” when we look at our teams and get frustrated that our guys aren’t producing as expected. This is a great time to make some moves, however, as the stats are starting to get “sticky” in that there are enough accrued to make some judgments […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sometimes, less is more. My recent articles have been lengthy and if you can check out some of the teaching points in those, you will likely benefit and understand today’s thoughts a bit better. The Cardinals get to face B(r)ad Keller whose one positive data point is his high ground ball rate. San Diego and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Mets are promoting Christian Scott to the majors this weekend–[presses finger to ear] “Yes, I can hear you? What happened? As soon as they gave him the news he was promoted to the Mets Christian Scott became…bad? How does that happen? I see, so as soon as they said the word ‘Mets,’ he suddenly lost […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Click HERE. Now sing this: Hello, it’s me. I was wondering if after all these years you’d draft me. To put the past aside. They say that time’s supposed to heal ya, but I ain’t done much hitting. Hello, are you still there? I’m in Los Angeles of Anaheim of Alhambra of Artesia dreaming about […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?One might believe that being privy to the secretive goings-on at Razzball gives one access to information quicker than your average Joe Q. Public, and one would be absolutely correct in making such a bold declaration. Upon hearing there was not one, but two features on Jo Adell coming down the old Razzball pipeline, my brain did the only thing that seemed logical. I decided to avoid mentioning Jo Adell in order to not clog the blog arteries with too much rich and redundant content.
Please, blog, may I have some more?What is up party people? Elly De La Cruz is on one heck of a tear right now and I regret not getting more shares of him. I will be the first to admit that I thought his ADP was too rich for my blood going into the season mainly due to his strikeouts. I will also be the first to admit that despite a 36% strikeout rate, he has still been amazing. That is truly impressive. He’s got the power (8) and he’s got the speed (18) to be a star. Honestly, it’s surprising that he only has 5 doubles with those kind of wheels. I still have some concerns there will be some rough patches from the Ks but he’s good enough to be productive in spite of that. Consider this my apology to Elly for ever doubting him.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The 2024 Major League Baseball season is now five weeks old, which means we finally have meaningful numbers that count to start evaluating our fantasy squads. With only 26 weeks in the fantasy baseball season, even a few weeks of information should help guide us to decisions about who deserves a valuable roster spot on […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In our 42nd episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer open with banter on some of the newest “mascots” entering MLB lore before discussing the latest moves and news including significant injuries plus prospect (and Tommy Pham) call-ups. Then we overview the release of 2024 Bowman, hitting shelves on May 8. You can find us on twitter (X) […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’ll admit to a certain type of satisfaction seeing the Rays suck. We should all be rooting against them for what they’ve done to our great game of baseball. The opener? Sucks! Not promoting prospects? Sucks! Pitching guys so far over their limits they all get hurt? Sucks! Platooning everyone? Sucks! Okay, someone help me […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Brewers 1B Tyler Black has always produced, posting on base percentages around .400 or better every step of the way since he was drafted 33rd overall out of Wright State in 2021. He also hit 18 home runs and stole 55 bases in 123 games across two levels in 2023. With Rhys Hoskins at first base, Black figures to get in where he fits in when he can, probably at designated hitter as often as not. In other words, defense is not Black’s most colorful attribute, but that won’t matter much for our purposes as long he’s in the lineup. He picked up two hits in four at bats in his debut, and new manager Pat Murphy has demonstrated skill in spreading opportunities among everyone on his roster and rewarding anyone who’s hitting. Gotta think Heston Kjerstad or Jose Fermin would not ride the pine for a week if promoted to Murphy’s care.
