The Real Razzball Standings have been posted by Rudy, along with his always hilarious commentary. To no one’s surprise, my elite (terrible for this league) pitching staff has ridden me close to the basement, as I sit in 2nd to last. Here’s hoping the start of a major suckage streak is upon us.

Today is the 2nd edition of the leaders and laggards series focusing on Hitter BABIP. As I mentioned in my first article, hitter BABIP is different than pitcher BABIP because hitters have more control over this metric and usually establish their own level in which they should be expected to regress toward. With that reminder out […]

In Week 4’s TACOM I outlined a middle infielder and a low risk high reward first basemen to take a chance on and this week I am going to keep up the under the radar players while giving myself dues for some risky, yet rewarding pre-season sleepers.

So if you haven’t been watching Bonderman’s start today like I have because I made the questionable decision to start him in one of my daily leagues, then you didn’t see his line. He walked 7 Rangers in 4 2/3 innings, putting his season walk total at 21 in just 27 1/3 innings. Why is […]
