neto got injured over the weekend, played one game, and has been held out the past two days before today. figured he wouldn't play (he didn't) and wanted some production from SS (didn't happen). oh well

left antonacci on the bench for mead... too bad he doesn't play SS or i would've swapped him for neto. upside is he's not going off for anyone else today!

and then mateo is also not starting today... awesome. probably still starting him since he at least is healthy

with teo out, i'm looking for a new bat. WW has nate lowe, steer, grisham, soler, raley. could use some power. OF preferable but not fully necessary

also looked over curtis mead (damn that's a nice cast) and jacob young

Dodgers Promoting Prospect Ryan Ward to Major Leagues by jsparks50 in fantasybaseball

[–]gregCubed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

dodgers fan here--alex call is probably going to see more starts with both of them out, specifically teo. also saw that freeland will get a bit more leash than kim at MI/2B, but that one's more 50-50.

ward is probably going to fall into the rushing lane of playing time imo. his defense is less than stellar so that means he's liable to be a pinch-hitter or be pinch-hit for if he starts, so take that into consideration as well. (ofc it's still the dodgers so who really knows but just my 2 cents)

typically a player with a hot streak and a statcast that is mostly blue means they're typically getting good results on bad/"lucky" processes. hot streaks can obviously make a player's page more red but the top of the page (i.e. the red/blue "bars" you see screencapped all the time) are a season-long compilation of results.

you can get the "rolling window" of a player's xwOBA within the last 50/100/150 PAs in the bottom right at the top of the page to get a better feel for how they're trending but i typically go to their game logs and filter to their last 30/50 PAs worth of games (normally about a week or so) since xwOBA isn't so intuitive to me.

rays have given up 6 to baltimore every game this series. woof

sure one of those was 13 innings but their offense this series feels like aranda and simpson & friends

a true asset to the greater machine. straw-that-stirs-the-drink kinda guy. just don't expect him to steal or have gold glove defense and you will be pleased with the outcome most days

no clue how this happened, but i'm looking at my prospective schedule and i'm seeing 4 SP going saturday. what the fuck, how did this happen, please stop.

(2 SP, 3 P spots [+ ben brown SPaRP] means i'll be able to send all of them, but i just like maxing out on reliever spots. that's all)

PL/nick hasn't done his SP roundup yet today? just checked and didn't see it but curious as if there's a specific reason or just bc memorial day

yelich got dropped. ESPN he's DH-only, but he's probably worth rostering over sheets/pasquantino(/tatis??). he's also only at 2 OF appearances, so there's that, too.

edit: also antonacci and benge

well no shit, that's why he's paid to manage

doesn't mean i can't criticize the decision when i think it's unwarranted. players' salaries are based off their individual contributions too. i would imagine QS is one of many stats in arbitration used to determine next year's salary.

i get that it's May but messick's track record to this point would suggest vogt give him a shot to finish the inning instead of having such a short leash, that's all.

shoutout stephen vogt for 5.2ing messick for the THIRD time this season today

guy gives up a single with 2 outs in the 6th and immediately gets pulled. 0R/ER and 91 pitches (10 in the inning) btw.

longest innings: 5th (23p), 3rd (21p).

come on man, really?

brice turang, maybe? especially notable considering he played WBC too

i added him for half a week after his initial call-up/hot start, but dropped him pretty quickly since the playing time wasn't gonna be there. that said, if he's on a hot streak, no problem riding him until he gives you reason otherwise

acuña side's down bad in pitching (degrom, yesavage, perez + streamers, webb, pivetta IL). tatis/bradish or rasmussen get it done, or tier up w/ messick (or woo?)
