2020 All-Stars

Hey folks, we are back this week with some Closerpocalypse 2014 news!  The good (Chapman), the bad (Balfour), and the ugly (Farnsworth).  On a more positive note, we look at some of the possible callups near the Super 2 “deadline”.  We go through some of the big names that we’ve talk about before such as Gregory Palanco on the Pirates and Andrew Heaney on the Marlins, but also some smaller names. Finally, we are starting a new giveaway contest for our listeners.  Inspired by their charitable givings, NASCAR sponsorship, and general happy-go-lucky attitude, we decided to join the dogecoin community!  This week (and every subsequent week), we will ask a question to our viewers and give away doge to one lucky listener that gets the question correct.  I won’t give away the question, but if you are a doge enthusiast, you should make sure to pay careful attention around the 39 minute mark.  ;-) Have a good week and see y’all soon!

Season 2 Episde 8 (48:13)

We are back on track!  A week without dicussing the Closerapocalypse 2014?!?!  Well, we thought we should keep it positive this week.  So we discuss a lot of the hot starts from around the league.   We also talk about some guys in the minors that seem intriguing.  As always, we have a bit of color spread thoughout with topics ranging from global warming, ballpark factor, to the latest rage in cryptocurrencies.  There is nothing we won’t take on.

Season 2 Episode 7 (52:32)

Sorry about coming to you a little late this week.  On this week’s show we talk about the major injuries, guys in the minors who might get the call soon, and a tad about Closerpocalypse 2014.

Welcome back!  We took a little bit of a break, but there is a lot to talk about.  We chat about Closerpocalypse, hot starts, and buy low candidates.  Plus, I am actually in Los Angeles!  So we do not have a report on the future this week.  Sorry folks, but next time, we’ll get that to you.

Season 2 Episode 5 (51:20)

Closerpocalypse continues! We discuss the closer madness that has gone down this first week (Mets, Astros, Brewers, Reds, White Sox). Bottomline, we hope you didn’t pay for saves towards the end of a closer-run in your draft. Next, we decide if the current drop of hot hitters are Chris Shelton (duds) or Chris Davis (studs). The results may surprise you. Finally, we talk about some potential breakout pitchers and some pitchers that we may be worried about.

How’s it going?  Not well, if you are a Texas Ranger, a Texas Ranger fan, or a fantasy owner with a Texas Ranger.  We discuss the injury woes of that particular organization and the fantasy implications of all the injuries.  Next we introduce “Closerpocylpse”, which will probably become a weekly segment on the latest news in crappy closers gaining or losing the closing job.  Finally, we end with a discussion of fifth starters that may be fantasy relevant.  If you are in a 10 team mixer with shallow benches, you might want to listen to the other podcasts that tireless tell you that Mike Trout will be good.  Yea, we get it.  But that’s not gonna help the other 9 teams in the league.

Season 2 Episode 3 (43:26)

We had an extended break, so there is a ton of news to talk about.  Unfortunately, a lot of it is bad.  We go over the rash of Tommy John surgeries that have swept through the league and what the fantasy/keeper implications are with those.  Then we swing to the positive and look at the surprises of spring training.  Finally, we end it with a short discussion about a new 10-team mixer that we joined.

Season 2 Episode 2 (44:12)

Wir sind wieder da!  (We are back!)  I am still in Deutschland, but that hasn’t stopped us from continuing the podcast.  A lot of things happened this offseason and we try to get through as much as we can.  Of course there is the normal smattering of prospect news.  And we end the podcast off with BOLD predictions.  Not the garbage you hear on every other podcast, but out of this world stuff that might make you look like a genius… or a fool.  Fun stuff.  Enjoy and LOS GEHT’S!

Season 2 Episode 1 (55:23)

Here is our mock draft of the first three rounds for 2014. We went a little crazy (spoiler alert: Puig is in the top 30), but also played closer to the vest than you might think. Enjoy and we’ll see y’all next season!

Episode 15 (47:13)

Dumpster diving for talent. Enough said.
