Anthony Rendon returned from the DL to go 0-2 with 2 BB, hitting second behind Bryce Harper. Joe Gallo showed off his power stroke, going 2-4 with 2 HR, 2 RBI and 2 R. Tyler Skaggs continued his emergence, allowing 2 ER on 6 H and 1 BB, striking out 7, over 5.1 IP but had to settle for a no decision against the Mariners. What else happened on the field that we need to know about? Let’s take a look:
1) Has Sonny Gray finally figured it out… Pitching at home against the Indians he allowed 2 ER on 4 H and 2 BB, striking out 7, over 6.0 IP. His biggest ..read more

When Mark Trumbo re-signed with the Baltimore Orioles prior to the 2017 season there were high expectations. Of course he quickly disappointed, putting up pedestrian results (and that may be putting it mildly):
559 At Bats
.234 Batting Average (131 Hits)
23 Home Runs
65 RBI
79 Runs
1 Stolen Bases
.289 On Base Percentage
.397 Slugging Percentage
.278 Batting Average on Balls in Play
We try not to read too much into spring stats, but coming off that type of year it’s hard to ignore seeing 9 K without an extra base hit in his first 16 AB. Now we h ..read more

Friday night at Yankee Stadium marked a couple of team records, with a career game for Jesus Aguilar and yet another home run from Aaron Judge. Elsewhere there were some strong performances by some starters leading into the All Star Break.
So let’s look at some of the bigger stories from Friday’s games.
1) Judge breaks Yankees rookie record….
It’s a record that has looked under threat for a little while now, but Aaron Judge broke Joe DiMaggio’s rookie HR record in double quick time on Friday. Judge became just the second rookie ever to reach the 30 homer landmark after Mark McG ..read more

This is it. Every team now has just three games left as we head into the last series prior to the All-Star break. The four days without any game action are a good time to take a deep look into your teams and set them up for the second half of action. But before we do that, there are still games to be played. Let’s take a look at some of the performances that stood out from Thursday’s action:
1) Do We Believe in Sanchez…
The easy answer, is no we do not. But given the state that pitching is around the league, and the fact that Anibal Sanchez has some name recognition, some people’s ..read more

ARI: Disaster for Rodney (4 R/2 H/4 BB/0 outs) for BSV/L. 1 outing not enough to lose role but could be start #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

We’ve seen a wave of young middle infielders arrive in the Majors, though despite the hype many of them have struggled to produce (though, in some cases they’ve started to show signs of turning things around). That doesn’t mean that we should ignore the upside, though you have to make contact in order to display that potential. With many of them struggling in that regard, it’s hard to buy into. Let’s take a look at three intriguing options, all of whom have carried elevated SwStr% and O-Swing%, and see if there truly is a reason to buy:

While weather was an issue across baseball last night, we only lost one game. Other than the Mets game in Washington, all of the other impacted games were completed; albeit after a late start. The day was full of action, so let’s jump right into some of the performances that stood out from a fantasy perspective.
1) It Doesn’t Stop for Judge…
If you are waiting for Aaron Judge to stop, or even slow down, you aren’t going to be happy. In fact, all you are missing, is more home runs. Judge took care of another record yesterday, as with his 29th home of the season, he tied Joe DiMaggio ..read more

It’s easy to have a knee jerk reaction, either to a hot or cold stretch. In some cases a player truly is a flash in the pan, and moving on makes perfect sense. However we have to remember that patience is often a virtue, and players often aren’t quite as good as they look at their best (or as bad as they appear at their worst). Trying to figure out who we should believe in, and who is more of a deceiver, is vital in our success. With that in mind, let’s take a look at a few notable players and try to determine whether we are believers or if they are ..read more
