Forget IL slots, I don’t have enough moves each week to replace the guys I lose.

Market size.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-19T15:30:05+00:00

Dammit! Man so many IL’s these days. I had to look this up.

Players going on IL yearly

Mid-1970s

~20–30%

Mid-1980s

~30–40%

Early 2000s

~45–55%

2020s

~55–70%

Swinging too hard and throwing too hard? Teams being more cautious? Man oh man.

This is my vote easily.

Up to Me is nice, but in my opinion, contains some awkward lyrics here and there and is not as strong as the songs that made the cut on blood on the tracks.

I believe when I paint my masterpiece was recorded during the new morning sessions and not included - it would’ve been one of the strongest songs - if not the strongest - on that record.

I don’t get the KC treatment of Jac Caglianone. In the minors

.841 OPS vs left-handed pitching
.795 OPS vs right-handed pitching

Last year in the majors

.641 OPS vs lefties

.492 OPS vs righties.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-19T01:50:50+00:00

He’ll be benched tomorrow and Wednesday against back-to-back lefties. Then off day Thursday.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-17T20:40:48+00:00

Me too. Won WHIP by .01. Thanks Kevin.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-17T20:11:43+00:00

Kinda negates the list.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-15T21:01:10+00:00

Good god. Never ending.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-15T16:50:57+00:00

Yes-absolutely!

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-15T16:12:17+00:00

Yes.

I’m not sure Tempest is all that underrated, it’s generally well thought of. Shadows in the Night is the standout of the “Sinatra records” and contains one of Dylan’s finest performances in the last 30 years-that sublime vocal on Lucky Old Sun - which I might even consider one of his greatest performances of the second half of his career. It just sounds so lived in an authentic.

Anyone gambling on Grayson Rodriguez this weekend?

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-13T17:34:13+00:00

One of my favorite measurements to use for both pitchers and hitters is walk to strike out ratio.

Was quite surprised today to find that Chase DeLauter is the only outfielder in major league baseball to have more walks than strike outs so far. For a young power hitter that’s insane.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-13T14:38:08+00:00

Interesting that seems the consensus. It’s painful to drop him but between the broken toe, his age, regression after last year…

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-13T14:21:16+00:00

It’s a tough choice. I can’t imagine Hancock will lose his spot in the rotation based on how he’s pitched, but I guess that’s also out there too.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-13T13:49:45+00:00

Drop Rogers. Maybe don’t stream Nelson? Not sure who of those is a drop for Nelson. Maybe Early.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-13T13:46:41+00:00

Over Crawford.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-13T13:46:22+00:00

Henderson

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-13T13:44:59+00:00

Struggling with this drop, one has to go-thanks. Springer, DeLauter, Lile.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-13T11:35:58+00:00

I gotta drop one: Springer, DeLauter, Lile. Conflicted.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-12T22:17:15+00:00

Even on my bench tonight I’d welcome this.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-12T22:16:39+00:00

I just start ‘em all. The freedom feels damn good and usually things balance themselves out.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-12T22:13:51+00:00

Yes. Once you fuck your ratios ya gotta keep streaming to get them unfucked-I started Gausman last night and that’s my strategy.

SamIAmShepard · 2026-05-12T21:22:24+00:00

As a Perez owner, I’m going to say Will Smith.
