Launch Angle

One Rob has been swapped for another as Rob DiPietro of the Pull Hitter Podcast joins Jeff and Van to talk news and notes from the past week. They touch on Chris Sale's imminent return and whether he can provide fantasy value this season, as well as the wild FAAB period from the weekend and tag team leagues and how to approach them!

Even with more news to come there is plenty to discuss on today's edition of the show including several big trades that already were finalized including Nelson Cruz finding his way in Tampa and Adam Frazier moving to San Diego. Van, Jeff, and Rob also take a look at Craig Kimbrel's resurgence, Add/Drops from the past week, and they discuss how to treat the trade deadline from a fantasy perspective

It's All-Star week for MLB and our very own fan selected committee of analysts (the same ones, Van, Jeff, and Rob) are here to talk the second half! The boys discuss Ronald Acuña's injury and where he might go next season in drafts and Van gives Rob and Jeff a series of player comparisons and asks who the experts prefer the rest of the way

Shohei Ohtani is quite possibly the best player in the game right now and is likely going to both pitch and hit in the All-Star game next week, so Rob, Jeff, and Van decide now's a good time to talk about his amazing season. They also discuss an interesting FAAB period from last week as well as Carlos Correa's solid season

Rob Manfred has skillfully enacted his sticky substances plan and it has gone off with aplomb according to the commissioner himself, but is that true? Rob, Jeff, and Van talk how it has gone so far and what we can do going forward, as well as some bullpen talk, Wander Franco's struggles, Nate Pearson's recent injury, and much more!

With Luis Severino suffering a setback in his recent rehab Van, Jeff, and Rob discuss several injured pitchers worth potentially rostering going forward including Noah Syndergaard, Chris Sale, Jack Flaherty, and Zach Plesac. They also talk a pretty sad FAAB period where Sam Long went for a huge chunk of change, and finally take a look at some players performing better or worse than expected and determine if there's a change in value here or if they'll get back on track soon!

Van, Jeff, and Rob have plenty to discuss on today's show including MLB's plan to 'crack down' on illegal substances in the game and how we can react to that in fantasy. They also discuss the surprisingly good San Francisco Giants and several Giants players as well as Edward Olivares, Mookie Betts, Kevin Gausman, and more!

With Luis Severino scheduled to make a rehab appearance this coming weekend Rob, Jeff, and Van discuss his value in fantasy leagues as well as decide what to do with Noah Syndergaard, whether or not Marcell Ozuna plays again, and they of course go over add/drops from the previous week! They'll talk hot commodity Alek Manoah as well as warm bodies Rob Refsnyder and Harold Ramirez, and they close out the show with an epic battle between Jeff and Rob in a round of Triple Slash.

This week on the show Van, Rob, and Jeff discuss blowing up a struggling fantasy team and when it's appropriate to do so. They also take a look at the Willy Adames trade and playing time fallout, Keston Hiura's recall, and plenty of FAAB discussion including Danny Santana, James Kaprielian, Wade Miley, and more!

After last week's bonkers FAAB frenzy Van, Rob, and Jeff are excited to take a look at a more reasonable group of players who fantasy experts and amateurs alike chose to add to their teams. They also discuss Luis Robert's injury, Daniel Lynch's upcoming debut, and "draft" some injured starting pitchers they think are worth stashing!
