Join us at Patreon.com/Prospect361 for ad-free podcast and tons of great Dynasty League and traditional one-year fantasy baseball information.Notes:Segment 1 – Review games of the weekendAdditional Notes1.Phew – Yamamoto had a better game on Saturday.2.Oswaldo Cabrera is off to a strong start. 3.Mookie Betts is also off to a strong start.4.Brice Turang and CJ Abrams are leading the league in three stolen bases.5.The Yankees have taken three straight from the AstrosSegment 2 – News and Notes1.Royce Lewis is out with a quad injury and will be re-evaluated in a month. They promoted Austin Martin, but I assume Willi Castro gets the at-bats. Is there enough playing time for you to recommend Martin?a.Is Royce Lewis the next Byron Buxton? Tons of talent but just can't stay healthy/2.Sean Murphy made it through seven innings before injuring his LAT and will be out for a while. I assume Travis D'Arnaud is the guy?3.Justin Steele is hitting the IL, and the Cubs are promoting Ben Brown. A lot of people are excited about this. Are you?4.Can we conclude that Esteury Ruiz is a platoon outfielder…and on the wrong side?5.Jackson Holliday went 3 for 4 and missed the cycle by a triple. Three balls were hit over 100 MPH. He did make an error, though, so I guess the Orioles are right—he needs more time in the minor leagues.Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer Report
Fantasy Baseball Live – September 24, 2023 @ 3 pmSegments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend games.Additional Questions1.The AFL Rosters came out on Friday afternoon. What are your initial thoughts.a.I will be doing a podcast (recording Monday and released Tuesday), outlining 57 players that fantasy managers should pay attention to.2.Yordan Alvarez hurts his elbow. I love the player, but he misses a lot of time. Does this hurt his draft status on where you would take him next season?3.Ronald Acuna is now 40-40 and will likely be 40-70 soon. How does this season stack up to Aaron Judge's 62 home run season last year?4.In all the excitement to end the season, Evan Carter is quietly hitting .325 with three home runs and 3 stolen bases in 15 games. How do you feel about him entering next season?Segment 3 – Waiver Wire Pickups, if anySegment 4 – Closer Report and Two-start pitchersCloseThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3306394/advertisement
Fantasy Baseball Live – September 3, 2023 @ 3 pmSegments 1 and 2 – Review Weekend GamesAdditional Questions:1.With Wander Franco out indefinitely, the Rays are turning to Taylor Wells. What are your thoughts on a possible pickup?2.Ronny Mauricio is hitting everything in sight with crazy exit velos 117 MPH and has already stolen a base. I'm assuming you will recommend him as a pickup.3.Blake Snell pitched another shutout. Call me cynical, but I've seen his story so many times. A player who is entering his free agent year puts up an unsustainable year and then gets overdrafted the next year only to crush fantasy manager's souls. Is this what we will see with Snell?4.Trea Turner has woken up. Is he back to being in the first round next season?5.Aroldis Chapman has been brutal of late, losing another game on Saturday. Will he get taken out of the closer role?Segments 3 and 4 – Waiver WireSegment 5 – Closer Report and Two-start pitchersCloseThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3306394/advertisement
Take 10 with Tim – September 1st1.What are your strategies for the last month of the season?2.I think the Yankees are doing the right thing by waiving Josh Donaldson and Harrison Bader. I know about the report that Bader found out about the move on TV, but that's hard to believe. I know they are the hated Yankees, but they've always had a reputation for doing right by their players.a.Your thoughts on the move and anything else you want to discuss3.The September call-ups are underway. This is who we have so far.a.I just saw Jasson Dominguez last week in Double-A, and he's reportedly being called up. I'll preview him as I've seen about 100 at-bats of him.b.Austin Wells (C, NYY)c.Ceddanne Rafaela (OF, Bos)d.Ronny Mauricio (IF/OF, NYM)e.Kyren Paris (SS, LAA)f.Nick Loftin (SS, KC)4.The Angels waved the white flag on Tuesday, putting a quarter of their roster on waiver, including Lucas Giolito (Cleveland), Reynaldo Lopez (Cleveland), Matt Moore (Cleveland), Dominic Leone, Hunter Renfroe (Reds), and Randal Grichuk. Harrison Bader (Reds)a.Do any of these players interest you from a fantasy standpoint? If so, who?b.Any thoughts on who gets their playing time?c.I know we've talked to this way too much, but what the heck are the Angels doing?5.Someone from Barstool put out a clickbait tweet saying the following: Is it crazy to think that Mookie Betts will retire a better player than Mike Trout?a.What say you?6.I really liked the Royals' acquisition of Cole Ragans, as I didn't like the way the Rangers were handling him. He's doing oka.Let's talk about the pitcher he can become?7.Michael Brantley has finally returned. Any interest?8.Just when you thought Alex Lange had some things figured out, he crushes your soul. He and Aroldis Chapman are reminding all of us what the Closer Report is suppose to look like – Chaotic. a.Thoughts?9.What hitter will you be targeting this weekend?10.What pitcher will you be targeting this weekend?This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3306394/advertisement
