Fantasy Baseball Live – April 13, 2025 – 2:00 pmSegment 1 – Review of the weekend gamesAdditional Questions:1.Wilmer Flores hits his sixth home run yesterday. Is this anything more than a hot start?2.Paul Goldschmidt is off to a great start, or at least he's posted a great BA of .365 and hitting in a lot in the leadoff spot, has seven runs. Unfortunately, he's only hit one home run. Rebirth in New York or a 37-year-old in decline?3.JT Ginn pitched a gem on Saturday against the Mets. It's a power-sinker with a true outpitch, but I'm assuming he'll be on your waiver wire.4.It's been a long wait for Matt Mervis, but he hit his fourth home run on Saturday and is hitting .300 for the Marlins. There are players better than him in the minor leagues, but he's not giving up the ghost. Is he the first baseman for the Marlins all season long?5.Impressed with Trevor Story's start? .255/.340/.734, 2 HR, 6 SB, 8 runs, 10 RBIs?6.What stat line impresses you the most?a. (I'll go through some of the leaders in HR, SB, etc… to see who is off to the most impressive/surprising start of the season?7.Luis Ortiz was impressive on Saturday. 5.2 IP, 1 hit, 1 ER, 10K/2BBSegment 2 - Waiver WireSegment 3 – Closer ReportClose

Grey and B_Don are back for another episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. This week we talk about call ups Joey Loperfido (might as well listen to see how badly we mispronounce this one), Jordan Beck, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Matt Mervis. Please, blog, may I have some more?
The injuries just keep coming for the Cubs. Cody Bellinger, Kyle Hendricks and Drew Smyly are all on the IL now and young players like Alexander Canario, Matt Mervis and Pete Crow-Armstrong will have to step up for the team.Yet, the Cubs just keep right on winning. Andy Martínez and Tony Andracki analyze the aftermath of the Cubs' recent string of injuries and what comes next for the team. Plus, former Cubs center fielder Dexter Fowler stops by to chat about what he's seen from Hendricks during the early-season struggles and how players inside an MLB clubhouse react and deal with injuries to key players. Fowler also reminisces on 2016 memories, including how that team bonded as a group and why they were able to carry that chemistry onto the field.
Peter Marzano and Nate Poppen talk recent roster moves that include Kyle Hendricks heading to the injured list and a callup of first base prospect Matt Mervis as the Cubs wrap up their homestand, while discussing Hendricks' potential role on the team once he returns. The guys then discuss which players have caught their eyes with the hot and cold starts before breaking down the Cubs' upcoming schedule and how the team can best position themselves in the NL Central before taking on the Milwaukee Brewers early next month.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Andy, Praz and Oleg discuss all the pertinent issues with the Cubs like the return of Matt Mervis, Nicky Two Strikes, Ian Happ's return to the lineup, Kyle Hendricks' phantom back injury and Boog's fascination with Mike Tauchman. But then they put their big throbbing brains together and come up with a series of initiatives that will toughen the Cubs up and forge them into a true championship contender. The ideas are brilliant and the Cubs can easily monetize them, which is all they care about. Then the podcast becomes probiotic talk as Andy discusses the very liquid reason why there was only one newsletter and no podcast last week, and if the good folks at Bucee's or Kefir are listening, there's a sponsorship opportunity in the offing, with the kind of appreciative testimonial that money just can't buy. Oh, and the name they couldn't remember at the end? Barkevious Mingo. Don't Google him. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/desipio/message
