[watches as a deli man lathers up a piece of white bread with the most drippingly moist mayonnaise anyone’s ever seen, a customer bites into it and mayonnaise drips down his mouth as he exhales ecstasy] Oh my God, that looks so good! Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more

It’s been another brutal week friends, at least for any fantasy baseball type who has (had?) Willson Contreras rostered, or for any sentient human being who just doesn’t enjoy seeing other humans in excruciating physical and emotional pain, and watched the reply of Contreras’ injury. Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more

You’ll have to bear with me this week, while I fight through a bout of nostalgia.  As I think about topics for this edition of AA, I realize I really haven’t spent much time on speed at all this season.  When I think of speed, I think about my very first “Analytics Anonymous” article last year when I looked at SBO (stolen base opportunity).  Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more

You’re gonna say, “C’mon, Grey, you’re putting us on, like you put on a shirt to perfectly complement your handsome face,” but I was at an art gallery yesterday and looking at this piece of (f)art right when Robert Gasser was called up: Guys and five girls, that’s what you call synergy.

The Jon Singleton story is a fascinating one because it resonates so much for me. As it probably does for many others. It is a story of losing one’s way. It is a story of being young and dumb. It is a story of maturing, finding calm and peace so that things makes sense now. Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more

The itch that brings us back to fantasy baseball every day is a special little needler. No matter if your team went six whole days without a home run, and your top four picks are on the IL, or your hitters are only demolishing home runs off pitchers that you own, you still want back in.

With the reported promotion of Paul Skenes to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday afternoon, it's fair to wonder who could be primed to follow the fireballer as the No. 1 overall selection in the MLB Draft this July. Last year's college trio at the top of the draft class was a historically strong group, led by Skenes and followed by outfielders Dylan Crews and Wyatt Langford. This summer is poised to have an equally-as-lethal top three, headlined by Georgia's Charlie Condon and Florida's Jac Caglianone, who are primed for an all-time great Golden Spikes race down the stretch. Arkansas southpaw ..read more

What is up party people? Feels like the injury bug has been extra hungry lately and you hate to see it. Steven Kwan has been a points league target of mine ever since he came to the majors and this was shaping up to be his best season yet. Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more

In our 43rd episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer open with banter on the dreadful Cardinals season before discussing the latest moves and news including significant injuries plus prospect debuts. Then we select our first cards to enter the pantheon of the Player of the Month (POTM) PC, a new monthly segment we are launching. Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more

Often pitchers are kept in the minors so they can work on certain pitches. They reportedly need more polish. Pirates are the first team to hold a pitcher in the minors so they can polish something — the key to the city, which Paul Skenes will rightfully be receiving one day. Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more
