Launch Angle

Todd Zola makes his triumphant return to the Launch Angle Podcast as Jeff and Van welcome him to talk about signings, trades, and more! They'll talk the Universal DH, Trevor Bauer's new (mostly done) deal, Todd's love for Marcell Ozuna, and chat players in their ADP Analysis segment.

The Cardinals made a flurry of moves and the Blue Jays never stopped making them so Van and Jeff welcome special guest host Brent Hershey (@BrentHQ) of BaseballHQ to the show to sort out the madness! They also tackle Didi Gregorius signing with the Phillies, season schedule question marks and also continue their ADP Analysis with picks 241-252!

Clay Link of Rotowire fame has joined Jeff and Van to discuss all the big moves that happened over the past week including Jameson Taillon's trade to the Yankees and Brad Hand, Garrett Richards, Jose Quintana, and more finding new homes. Of course they also chug along with their ADP Analysis segment taking a look at players drafted around pick 260!

Tristan H. Cockcroft has joined Van and Jeff on a very exciting episode of the show! The boys talk the Yankees bringing back D.J. LeMahieu and adding Corey Kluber, the Phillies pen situation, Yadier Molina and Masahiro Tanaka threatening to go unsigned, and continue with our ADP Analysis segment talking late round names like Mauricio Dubon, Garrett Hampson, and more!

Steve Cohen has taken no time at all to remake the Mets into his team as Francisco Lindor finds himself wearing New York's uniform for the coming season after a big trade. Jeff and Van need help analyzing this trade and more so they bring on Razzball's very own Rudy Gamble! Rudy, Van, and Jeff also continue with their ADP analysis segment chugging right through the later rounds of your drafts!

The return of our ADP segment rings in the new year as Jeff and Van welcome special guest Fred Zinkie (@FredZinkieMLB) to the show! They talk recent trades by the Padres, recent free agent signings by the Padres, how cool they think the Padres are, and of course the thing you've all wanted most in life - an 8 minute segment on Brad Keller.

Jokes aside tune in for a jam-packed episode!

Toby Geuvin (@BatFlipCrazy) joins Jeff's mega brain to get together and create tons of baseball strategy on today's episode while Van tries to stay out of the way. The boys hit on analyzing 2020's hitting numbers and how to apply them to the next season, talk speed, power, and even analyze some big time performers from 2020 to determine whether they were legit... or not.

Pitching in 2021 is the top of the return of the Launch Angle Podcast! Van and Jeff welcome Derek Rhoads to the show as fill-in host and the trio cover everything from the universal DH to drafting pitching strategies in various league types!

What episode would be complete without a Van rant I ask? Well certainly not this one. If you're interested in skipping to the baseball talk you can check in at the 10 minute mark with the introduction of Derek!

Van, Jeff, and Rob take a bit of time to give last minute suggestions to cement your victory in your league and then turn the page to next season as they do their first of thousands of 2021 mock drafts! The boys select the first 15 players off the board and discuss their value going forward.

Two weeks are all that's left in the fantasy baseball season and it's shaping up to be a wild push! Van, Rob, and Jeff discuss strategies for these final weeks and they also look ahead as they talk Corbin Burnes, run through all of the Marlins' pitching staff, and tell you whether you can cut some struggling performers or stick with them.
