Matchup 2 of the 2025 RtG Baseball season is in the books, and we got new winning streaks, new losing streaks, and a whole lot of blowouts. We highlight 365 Day IL’s huge Matchup 2 performance, as well as checking out the stars of our two remaining undefeated teams, Kid Chisholmagne and Shohei-Hulud. We mix our Fantasy and IRL baseball segments to talk about Small Sample Size in both contexts. How long before you start actively reshaping your team in Fantasy, and how much do you need to see out of a player after the season starts to believe what they’re doing?
