Fantasy Baseball Live – June 15, 2025 @ 3 pmMicrosoft Teams:Segments 1 and 2 – Review of this weekend's gamesAdditional Topics:1.Royce Lewis on the IL, again. This time with a hamstring pull.2.Clayton Kershaw with seven scoreless innings. That's back-to-back solid games and he's now posting a 3.25 ERA but the strikeouts are not there. Thoughts?3.Zac Gallen with another Ehh start last night. His 5.19 ERA is well earned.4.Hunter Dobbins with another win last night. I'm assuming you are recommending picking him up. We will look to see how he's doing it.5.Tyler Mahle hits the IL and gulp, Kumar Rocker is back. Any interest in Rocker?6.Hey, didn't you recommend Zach Agnos as the closer for the Rockies? Well, he got demoted. That's an impossible team to handicap, no?7.Emmet Sheehan will make a start with the Dodgers next week. I'm not sure he's totally stretched out, but what's your take on starting him?8.You laughed at my Charlie Morton suggestion. Another solid outing on Saturday.Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose

On this special episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is counting down all of his favorite (and least favorite) wing spots in Western New York, taking 97 spots and putting them into seven different tiers that includes his Mt. Rushmore for the year. He's joined by Tommy Seifert from the Buffalo Wing Coalition for his insight and opinions as well.This is the fourth consecutive year on the podcast Patrick's done a wings ranking and tiers show. A spreadsheet and power rankings nerd, Patrick's been writing reviews and placing wing spots into tiers for years. As always some of the picks are controversial and heavily disagreed on, which of course is primarily because it's a completely subjective process where's it's purely opinion and no right or wrong answer. Patrick highlights several of his most underrated and overrated picks, which is documented through seven tiers: Waiver Wire, Roster Bubble, Depth Chart, Solid Starters, All Pro, Elite and ultimately the Mt. Rushmore.Tommy has a lot of thoughts as well and discusses where he thinks Patrick got it right and wrong. The Buffalo Wing Coalition has been an amazing resource for people who love wings in the area and it continues to grow. They have their own pyramid of wings rankings, consistent reviews from places both popular and obscure and an incredibly resourceful list of wing specials by location, price and night that'll make going out for wings significantly cheaper. Make sure you check them out.Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red'sat 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it's a great place to drink and have a great time. Also big thanks to Imperial Pizzaand their two locations (1035 Abbott Road and 1655 Main Street), home of not only great pizza and tons of other delicious eats but also the best everyday lunch special in town.Special thanks to local Buffalo band, Orange Zestfor allowing us to use their awesome single, “Old Friends” as the new official intro music for Talking Buffalo. Check out Orange Zest and be sure to support not only them, but local music!♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran's SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBBlue Sky: @PatrickMoranTB.bsky.socialInstagram: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast

It's unfortunate as he pitched his best game of the season on Wednesday with his first win.3.Jacob deGrom continues to shove with another great outing on Saturday. The AL is stacked with pitchers have great seasons, so it might be a stretch for him to win. But, maybe not. Can he catch the runaway winner – Kris Bubic – 5 wins, 1.43 ERA, a strikeout an inning.4.Henry Davis hit a home run last. Clearly, his MLB career has been disappointing to-date. Do you think there is more in the tank?5.WOW, Tony Gonsolin hits the IL with a sore elbow. Didn't he just have TJS. Who are your starters in Los Angeles?6.Bryce Harper hits the IL. Who gets his at-bats?7.Maikel Garcia has hit his seventh home run, along with 13 stolen bases, a .310 batting average, and a .375 on-base percentage. When can I do my victory lap?

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

Fantasy Baseball Live – May 11, 2025 – 3:00 pmSegments 1 and 2 – Review of the weekend gamesMicrosoft Teams:Additional Questions:1.Are the Padres this good, or are the Rockies this bad? They lost 13-9 on Friday, 21-0 on Saturday, and we shouldn't forget about the doubleheader loss to the Tigers on Thursday (21-3). The Rockies' run differential is -134, having nearly lapped the second-worst run differential in the league, the Baltimore Orioles. 2.Corbin Burnes shoved against the Dodgers on Saturday. Good to see.3.Cade Horton wins his first game as the bulk innings guy. Were you happy with what you saw?4.Ranger Suarez looked great in his second outing, but It was against the Guardians. He has Pittsburgh next Friday. Are you starting him?a.Lance McCullers was awful yesterday. I started him against the White Sox and danced with the devil, but not yesterday. Should I be done with him or keep him on my bench for a while? His sinker (fastball) is down to 91.6 MPH, and while his slider is still missing bats, it got destroyed, as did his change-up.5.Casey Mize hits the IL with a hamstring strain. This one hurt for me as I have him in a number of leagues. Assuming a short IL stint, I still look at the matchup before starting him, but he has yet to have a blow up. Should I start him with confidence going forward?6.Jasson Dominguez had three home runs on Friday. Judge with two more home runs on Saturday and is now leading the league with 14 and batting average (.396). Just a ridiculous start to the season.Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose

Fantasy Baseball Live – May 4, 2025Microsoft Teams:Segments 1 and 2 – Reviewing the weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.Triston Casas appears to be out for the season due to a left patella tendon rupture. The Sox have dismissed the idea of moving Devers to first. How does the infield look after this injury?a.Could they move Wilyer Abreu to first and promote Roman Anthony?2.Jake Meyers had himself a game. He went 4 for 4 with 2 home runs and 7 RBIs. He's still Jake Meyers, right?3.Corbin Burnes has struggled this season and will now miss his next start. He's got a 3.58 ERA (5.31 xERA) and only striking out 7.7 per nine. 4.Kyle Stowers had a big game on Saturday and is hitting .324 with six home runs entering games on Sunday. Surprised?5.Kevin Gausman had a nice game Sunday, but is it me or can you trust this guy? He's got a 3.86 ERA, but he seems to teeter on problems every outing.Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose

Fantasy Baseball Live – April 27, 2025Microsoft Team Invite:Segment 1 and 2: Review the weekend gamesAdditional Observations and Questions:1.Word out of NY is that they might make a move with Devin Williams. Who would you speculate for saves?a.Speaking of closers, Emmanuel Clase pitched the eighth inning while Cade Smith took the ninth. I understand they are just trying to get Clase back on track, but could this signal a change in closers?2.Austin Hays hit two home runs on Saturday. He's now up to five, despite missing the season's first two weeks. Are you buying this?3.Speaking of buying this, Tyler Mahle had another terrific start on Saturday. He has a sub-1.14 ERA, 3 wins, but only 26 strikeouts in 31 innings. Thoughts?4.Gage Workman is now a member of the White Sox. Interesting.5.Tyler O'Neill hits the IL, and the Orioles call up Dylan Carlson. Any interest?6.Logan Gilbert was removed from his start due to forearm tightness.
