Fantasy Baseball Live – May 25, 2025 @ 3:00 pmMicrosoft Teams:PodcastSunday, May 25, 20253:00 PM - 4:30 PMSegments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend gamesAdditional Questions:1.Alex Bregman hits the IL, and the Red Sox promote Marcelo Mayer. His first game didn't go as planned – 0 for 4 with three strikeouts2.Trevor Rogers got the spot start in the second half of the Orioles vs. Red Sox doubleheader, surprising us all. 6.1 IP, 2 hits, 0 ER, 5K/0BBa.We will look at his start and baseball-reference to see what happened.3.Joc Pederson fractured his hand on Saturday. Who gets his playing time?a.Aleqardro Osuna4.Denzel Clarke gets the call for the Athletics and there's a chance he gets a long look. He's toolsy but can he hit enough to stick?a.Is Nick Kurtz starting to figure some things out? He has four home runs this week and is hitting .357 this week.5.Well, Yimi Garcia got the closer gig (maybe sorta) and now he's on the IL. Now what?6.Ronald Acuna hit the first pitch he saw on Friday night for a home run.a.ROS stat line: HR, SB, and BA7.The White Sox optioned Andrew Vaughn to Triple-A. WOW…what happened?8.Kyle Harrison pitched ok on Saturday against the Nationals. 4.0 IP, five hits, 2 ER, 4K/1BB. Are you interested?Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose

News & NotesBoston Red Sox infielder Alex Bregman goes to the IL, and one of the most exciting prospects of the year is called up to replace him in Marcelo Mayer.Fantasy managers got to experience the much-anticipated return of Ronald Acuna Jr. from the injured list. Detroit Tigers utility man Matt Vierling came back from the IL too.Joining Mayer as call-ups this week were Chicago Cubs infielder Matt Shaw, who was recalled early in the week, and Washington Nationals outfielder Robert Hassell III. A handful of other prospects are hitting in the bigs this week as well.It seems like teams are more willing to option the veterans on their team that aren't meeting expectations this season. The Chicago White Sox demoted first baseman Andrew Vaughn and the Athletics sent down outfielder JJ Bleday. Is this a trend of MLB teams moving to younger bats quicker or is it just a couple of coincidentally under-producing vets? Hosts: Brett Ford | Scott ChuScott's Top 150 Hitters ListWhat are fantasy managers supposed to do with an underproducing star like Jackson Chourio? What about the other slumping stars? How long can your fantasy team hold onto those unproductive bats before cutting ties and starting fresh? Maybe there's a surprising bat still available on your waiver wire that managers are discounting due to lack of name brand. Is that you, Geraldo Perdomo?

Take 10 with Tim – May 23, 2025 @ 9:30 am 1.I know everyone loves Juan Soto, but with eight home runs and a .247 batting average after 30% of the games played this season, it looks a lot like 2022 when he hit 27 home runs and had a .242 average. He is stealing bases, which helps, but should owners be worried? Is this the player they drafted?a.He's also been criticized for his lack of hustle. Do you think that now that he's being paid, he's lost something?2.Sal Perez and Adley Rutschman hit home runs on Wednesday. It was Adley's first home run since April 20, and he's barely hitting above the Mendoza line. Perez last hit a home run on April 13 and is also just above the Mendoza line. Who are you more concerned about for the rest of the season?3.Dylan Crews will be out for a while after suffering an oblique strain on Tuesday. Robert Hassell III gets the call. He's far from the player everyone expected when he was drafted by the Padres in the first round in 2020, but he's played alright this season, with a .288 batting average, four home runs, and nine stolen bases. What do you expect, and how long do you think he'll be out?4.Patrick Corbin looked like he was playing out the string after signing that great contract with Washington. He went unowned in most leagues. This year, he's been a different guy. Pitching for Texas, he's won three games and posting a 3.59 ERA. However, he's not striking out many (6.75 K/9) and his xERA is 4.56.a.You can't sell high (maybe you can), but what do you do here? Keep starting him every week? Pick and choose based on matchups? Something else?5.In the past three games, Will Warren has a record of 2-0, with a 1.50 ERA and a 13:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He has lowered his ERA to 4.05. Is this merely a hot streak, or are we witnessing a breakout?6.Matt Shaw returns to the Cubs, and Moises Ballesteros is sent down. This is Shaw's second chance. Will this time be better?7.Rank the Top 10 pitchers you would like to own over the rest of the season.1)Skubal2)Skenes3)Yamamoto4)Wheeler5)Fried6)Brown7)deGrom8)Senga9)Bibee10)Warren8.If something pops up today, we will include9.What one hitter are you targeting in this weekend's FAAB?Robert Hassell III (OF, Was)10.What one pitcher are you targeting in this weekend's FAAB?Daniel Palenecia (RHP, CHC)

Fantasy Baseball Live – May 18, 2025Microsoft Teams:Segments 1 and 2 – Review games of the weekendAdditional Notes1.Surprise, surprise, the Orioles fired their manager and then promptly lost their next game. They have a team ERA of 5.42, which ranks last in the American League and is the third worst in MLB. I understand that this happens (blame the manager), but ownership claimed they would spend money and simply have not. Thoughts?a.Oddly, the Marlins are among the teams with a worse ERA than the Orioles. Let's examine their rotation.2.Matthew Lugo with another home run on Saturday.3.Clayton Kershaw got a start, and it didn't go very well. His fastball maxed out at 90.9 MPH. Is Kershaw the new Tommy Malone?a.Will he have success?4.Seth Halvorsen got the save opportunity in Colorado. It was the first save opportunity in over two weeks. Do we care about this?5.Remember when Rafael Devers was struggling. He's now hitting .284 and hit his eighth home run on Saturday – a walk-off6.The five hottest players by OPS last week:a.Cal Raleigh (C, Sea) – 6 for 18, 3 HR, 1 SBb.Kyle Stowers (OF, Mia) – 8 for 22, 3 HRc.Wilmer Flores (1B, SF) – 8 for 21, 3 HRd.Ivan Herrera (C, STL) – 10 for 21, 1 HRe.Josh Jung (3B, Tex) – 10 for 25, 4 HR Segment 3: Waiver WireSegment 4: Closer ReportClose

Will he be able to sustain the power and batting average that he is putting forward?42:24 - Chad made a big trade in one of his leagues. He traded his Mookie Betts, Seiya Suzuki, and Justin Steele for Jarren Duran, Bo Bichette, Bailey Ober, Tomoyuki Sugano, and a pick upgrade. How did he do?59:01 - Chad also traded Kerry Carpenter and Adael Amador for Corbin Burnes.

News & NotesThe Orioles have fired manager Brandon Hyde and will move forward with Tony Mansolino as the interim head coach... Mike Elias still has a job though. And the Orioles got swept for the second-straight series extending their losing streak to six games. Brett is sad.Ian Happ, Tyler O'Neill, Evan Carter, Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa headed to the IL this week. Scott takes a look at the impact of each injury and how fantasy managers can pivot.A handful of very interesting prospects were called up this week, with Dalton Rushing, Moises Ballesteros and Jordan Lawlar each making their MLB debut. Oh, and don't forget Ryan Fitzgerald in Minnesota. Which one(s) will make an impact for fantasy managers this season?So many prospects, but how many are more than just a lottery ticket? Playing time is key when making decisions on who to spend which hyped prospect is worth spending a roster spot on.There are some hitters that we spent high draft capital on that just aren't producing. Some of those guys are droppable – some, not so much. Who should you hold out hope for and who should you drop and look elsewhere? Scott and Brett dive into a handful of players who are forcing fantasy managers into some tough decisions.  Join: PL+ | PL ProProud member of the Pitcher List Podcast Network
