Here are my Sleepers 1.0! 💤. Here's one thing I found when researching Reese Olson. His four-seam had a .357 xwOBA. His sinker a .294 xwOBA. That's the difference between Bryce Harper and Harrison Bader. Maybe he needs a slight tweak to his pitch mix.

A bittersweet Kokomo Friday tonight. I just want to echo the same sentiments as Chris. BIG THANKS to anybody who supports the pod, newsletter, articles, rankings and everything in between. We are privileged to talk about this fun little game that we all love so much.
Last Fantasy Baseball Today Podcast episode of the season is tonight, so I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who listens, watches, or reads what we do. We're lucky to get to do what we do, and we wouldn't be able to without your support, so thank you!.

So MLB created false hope so they can blame the players. Got it.
MLB official said they thought they had a “path to a deal” last night when they extended the deal but that the union has struck a different note today. The official further stated thru league would make one final best offer and hope for the best. Things Obvs have turned south.

Just recorded our final @FBTpod of the season. I realize it's late so some might not see this but I just want to thank everybody who watched or listened this year. 162 games is definitely a grind but @CBSScottWhite and @CTowersCBS made it fun and are two of the best to work with!.

Sean Murphy career splits:. Oakland Coliseum- .213/.319/.368, 17 HR in 159 G.Everywhere else- .256/.334/.484, 29 HR in 166 G. Atlanta is 15th in HR park factors for RHB last three years. Oakland is 30th during that span. Big boost here for Murphy.

This is what's wrong with twitter. I can't even be excited to watch a prospect make his debut. A. I never said Drew Thorpe was a "stud".B. I'm sure I told people to pick up Jonny DeLuca in 5OF leagues earlier in the season. Have you seen the state of outfield?.C. Kick rocks.
@Roto_Frank Please Frank. Amazing how you think these tier 3 rookies are expected to be a stud. Are you the same guy who told us to pick up Johnny DeLuca?.

Rejoice, #Jets fans. Your team got it right. Adam Gase is a smart hire who will take Sam Darnold to the next level. A bright offensive mind. Terrific leader. Story: .

So Zach Plesac fractured his thumb "aggressively" taking his shirt off. The ways baseball players get hurt remains the dumbest of all and its not close.

Full circle moment: I met @scotteTheKing a decade ago at the @ToutWars party at Foley’s. I was looking for a way to get into the Fantasy Baseball industry and Scott gave me that opportunity. Yesterday we drafted together in the same Tout league. Forever grateful!

Josh Jung had three hits today and is now batting .342 with three homers and five doubles this spring. Even more notable is his 14.6% strikeout rate following the 38% he posted as a rookie.

It’s officially Chris Towers full time baseball SZN 🔥🔥🔥.
@FBTpod I'm really looking forward to giving FBT my full attention, and to spending the entire season geeking out on baseball with my buds @Roto_Frank and @CBSScottWhite. I think this will make our podcast better and help our audience and I can't wait to jump in. 2024 is gonna be fun!.

As a Fantasy analyst, you are going to get things wrong. It's just the nature of the beast. I cannot remember being as wrong about a player as I have on Elly De La Cruz so far this season. He has FOUR (!!!) SB tonight and now has 30 in his first 44 games played this season. .

Maybe I’m overrating prospects but it sure feels like the Marlins have thoroughly dominated this deadline.
Trade summary:. Padres get - Tanner Scott, Bryan Hoeing.Marlins get - Robby Snelling, Adam Mazur, Graham Pauley, Jay Beshears.

Per @PFF, Derek Carr threw deep passes (20+ yards downfield) on just 9.2% of his throws last season, 35th among 38 QBs with at least 15 deep attempts. However, his adjusted completion % on these throws was 49%, fifth best among those 38 QBs. The Raiders SHOULD be more aggressive.
Gruden wants the Raiders to air it out: ‘We are trying to be more aggressive’

Edward Cabrera threw three more shutout innings tonight with 3 K to 0 BB. He threw 73% of his pitches for strikes and is now up to 70% through two starts. Last season Cabrera threw just 59% of his pitches for strikes. Small sample but this is what we need to see.

As a baseball fan, I'm hyped! Victor Scott should be added in any category leagues where you're in need of stolen bases. As a Fantasy manager who dropped Scott in multiple leagues on Sunday, I am dead inside.
Victor Scott II will join team, start in centerfield on opening day. #stlcards.
