Fantasy Baseball Mindset

Continue to exercise excruciating patience? Sunk cost fallacy tells us to drop our mistakes faster. Both are true. The reconciliation: 🎯 Patience is right when underlying skills are strong and surface results are bad. 🎯 Sunk cost diagnosis is right when the surface results are bad AND the skills were never there. The skill is reading which situation you're in. ✍️ New musing. Link in reply.

@BBGreatMoments War. What is it good for?! Absolutely nothing...say it again. At least in fantasy baseball...

WAR might be the most misleading stat in baseball. Agree or disagree?

@TheSkippersView Wow...Nimmo really trying to keep that "comeback rally" going with the challenge there.

Do people remember combined no hitters a week after they happen?

@mlbtraderumors Moustaches not getting it done this MLB season in Toronto...

The Blue Jays sent one famous moustache to the injured list and another down to Triple-A. Dylan Cease: mlbtraderumors.com/2026/05/blue-j… Davis Schneider: mlbtraderumors.com/2026/05/blue-j…

@MLB Murakami is

POWER! Munetaka Murakami clubs home run No. 18!

I was way too late on the JR Ritchie drop. Seemingly had to wait for the @Braves to make the decision for me. Bad process. Fell prey to shiny objects and sunk costs. New musing below on the bid that cost me four weeks.

@TNTSportsUS @rolandgarros He gets an Academy Award and a tennis ball… some guys have all the luck.

"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?" Russell Crowe getting in on the action at @rolandgarros👏😆

@MLBONFOX @Pirates Esmerlyn, a wizard with the bat...

The silent treatment for Esmerlyn Valdez! 😆 (via @Pirates)

Dylan Cease left his start with a trainer in the fifth inning

@BBGreatMoments practicing his inner JCVD

Smalls was the most athletic kid on the entire Sandlot cast.

@BBGreatMoments Switch hitter...

Left or Right? 🤔

@DanClarkSports During this time... Mookie Betts OPS trending 📉 Mookie Betts World Series wins trending 📈

Mookie Betts' decline is 𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴...

@FAmmiranteTFJ I think we don't really know...but probably Varland, but then could be Hoffman...which gets back to...we don't know.

First save for Hoffman this week: Varland had 24 pitches the previous game Second save: Varland had 31 pitches the previous game Varland will lead in saves ROS

“we're in a phase where uh every experiment is getting funded so what that means is the like the good ideas are getting funded and the bad ideas are getting funded and it's because investors in this at this moment haven't learned yet how to discriminate between good ideas and bad ideas and that's okay because the good ideas will pay for all of the losers…” I was thinking about this part of Bezos’ quote in how fantasy managers evaluate pitching and the impact to leagues. Replace "experiment" with "pitcher" and I believe that’s what happens on the waiver wire. Every two start streamer is getting bid up including every pitcher with one good outing against a soft lineup. The market has a difficult time telling the difference between a real breakout and a mirage, so it pays for both. The teams currently in the money usually aren't the ones who picked perfectly. They're the ones who avoided catastrophic bids and got one or two asymmetric wins during the season. Teams in the money aren't always smarter. They're just holding the bets that worked, and everyone else's misallocated FAAB is quietly subsidizing those teams winning. x.com/SquawkCNBC/sta…

Consistency is not doing everything perfect. It's about building momentum. You don't hit a home run every time. Just getting up to the plate daily will provide you with the opportunity to move in a forward direction.

Louis Varland has been NAILS this year! 25 Games 27.2 IP 0.65 ERA 40 K’s 1.19 FIP Varland recorded a SIX out save tonight 🇨🇦

@TheCinesthetic Pacific Rim

What is the single worst movie you sat through hoping it would get better, but didn’t?

@QEInfinity1 @OleTimeHardball indeed. Statutes from coast to coast

@FBMindset @OleTimeHardball Dave Roberts deserves a statue

What’s the most iconic image in sports history?
