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

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Even though Rafael Devers brought the energy up with his first walk off home run, that was quickly flattened with another series loss to the Braves. Gordo and Sammy react to what the issue in this series was and if fans should start changing their expectations for the rest of the season. Also, Brayan Bello struggled once again and raises concerns for the starting rotation depth behind Garrett Crochet. And, with Kristian Campbell putting in work at first base, is it inevitable that Marcelo Mayer will be that missing piece and if so, where should he play?

But that isn't the strangest part of the story...Trivia: Question from John Pennylegion- Since the mound was lowered in 1968, 22 times the ERA leader has had an ERA lower than 2.00. Of those 22 times, four pitchers did it twice. Who are the four pitchers to lead their league with an ERA of less than 2.00 since 1968?"Follow Jayson on Twitter: @jaysonstFollow Doug on Twitter: @DougGlanvilleHosts: Jayson Stark & Doug GlanvilleProducer: Brian Smith Hosted on Acast.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): If there is one person with a great perspective on all the elements of the Rafael Devers drama it is former Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell.

Lowell also explains how his former teammate, Red Sox manager Alex Cora, is uniquely qualified to handle the chaos.

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes his Tuesday guests, former MLB GM Jim Duquette, who now works for MLB Network radio and John Canzano from JohnCanzano.com Before Duquette pops on, Puck chats about last nights Mariners game and once again the struggles of the starters.  Duquette stops by and he and Puck pick up on the Mariners starters and they discuss whether or not we should be concerned with the Mariners recent play?  They also chat about the health of Bryce Miller, the offense carrying the team, bullpen help they need to add at the deadline and who would be potentially available.  They switch to other MLB stories like the firing of Bud Black and Derek Shelton, plus, what has happened to the Baltimore Orioles, the emergence of the Detroit Tigers and the ugly situation in Boston involving Rafael Devers. Puck then welcomes John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com to the show and they discuss the breaking news that the Portland Trail Blazers are for sale and they discuss what, if any, impact it may have on the sale of the Seattle Seahawks.  They discussed one of John's latest stories where he wrote a piece on the five most influential football figures at UW, WSU, Oregon State, Oregon and Utah. Puck contributed to the piece and offered his five most influential figures in Cougar football history.   Jim gives Puck the latest on expansion.  Nothing brewing right now with the current litigation involving the Pac-12 and the Mountain West.  John says the conference seems to be focused on one school, UNLV.  Puck and John discuss the possibility of adding St. Mary's as a basketball only school.  They wrap up their conversation discussing a youth softball coach incident in Newberg, Oregon involving 11u girls and a dispute about age.  The heart of the story is that we have once again lost our civility. Puck wraps up the show discussing the “Puck the Picker” Majors pool, which is brought to you by Synthetic Turf Northwest and he closes the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”  Don't panic or worry about the recent struggles of Ben Williamson. (1:00) Puck opens the show (9:42) Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio (37:25) John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com (1:33:58) “Hey, What the Puck!”

Today's word of the day is ‘unacceptable' as in the Rockies as in Colorado as in Bud Black as in Dick Monfort as in historic. The Rockies have been so bad this year that this move surprised absolutely nobody. Could they break the record for most losses all-time that was just set last year by the White Sox? This Rockies team lost 21-0 on Saturday! (15:00) The Boston Red Sox ownership group flew to Kansas City to meet with Rafael Devers. Why now? (21:45) Is anyone else as confused as I am in watching the Knicks and Celtics series? Boston hit its shots and won big. Another 20+ point lead for them but held on. (27:25) The Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets are both tired. That's what Nuggets coach David Adelman said. One of the worst first quarters you'll ever see. And the Nuggets somehow almost held on, but the Thunder got it done. Back to OKC we go tied up. (32:45) Review: Sacramento. (36:35) Astros starter Lance McCullers was emotional after his last outing after saying he received death threats for his performance. Not just him, but his children were targeted. Disgraceful. (44:20) The NBA Draft Lottery is tonight! Who will get the magic ball? Who has waved the white flag for Cooper Flagg enough? (47:00) NPPOD. (48:20) Bill Belichick and UNC is a nightmare.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Pirates fired Derek Shelton after 28 games into his 6 seasons. Whose fault is this? Shelton? The front office? The players? (12:20) Rafael Devers is furious with the Red Sox.

Jorge Castillo and Buster discuss how the kick change has elevated the Mets' pitching, a great early season series between the Yankees and Padres, and why Rafael Devers is the best solution for the Red Sox at fist base. Then, Michael Kay stops by to talk about how Aaron Boone's plan for Devin Williams, how is Ben Rice going to get at-bats with Stanton back and Carlos Rodon turning the corner. Next, Todd Radom shares the Ballpark & Beyond, and administers the quiz. Plus, Sarah Langs on how the Giants honored Willie Mays in extra innings at Wrigley Field.
