@HawkEmDownChris @BurgerKing

Without googling, can you name a famous king?

Can someone near New Jersey do a welfare check on @Godfather1NFBC ? He hasn't bitched about @Mets in an hour, I'm concerned for him.

@Godfather1NFBC @Mets Mike, don't hold back, tell us how you really feel about the Mets. 😀

Bad News @Mets at it again in San Francisco tonight.

@Godfather1NFBC You're right about fishing late for closers, but people this year were paying for Jax like he was sure to be #1 and that was never for sure. They didn't fish late for Jax, they fished early.

Griffin Jax to his owners this year. This is why fishing for closers late is like Russian roulette.

@RotoGut @TaylorTarter I made a trade two days after #LABR auction because I knew I was too heavy with power and light in SB

@TaylorTarter I don’t play in trade leagues but you absolutely make trades right now. Take advantage of people overreacting and scrambling. This is the best time to take advantage.

Anyone in #FantasyBaseball suggesting a trade right now is crazy. It's been four days. We have no idea how these players are going to turn out. Wait a few weeks, then you'll see who is a buy low/sell high. Nobody knows anything right now

@GekkoIndustries @ToddZola yeah but a lot of guys are down velo that early in spring training.

@LarrySchechter2 @ToddZola looking though my spring training notes on Esteves, i had warning signs observed before then: 2/24 - Velo down 6mph. 2/27 - Velo down 3mph. Plus I believe he got detonated in each of the above outings

(Phantom) IL incoming for C.Estevez If you drafted him, what was the plan? A miracle? He came into the season down SIX mph miles with spring metrics that looked like a crime scene The warning signs weren’t subtle; they were basically skywriting “DO NOT DRAFT 🥴

@playerqDFS Don't you mean "ex-friend"?😁

One of my bigger regrets is not drafting more Chase Delauter. Had a friend who told me all MLB rookies suck?

@chrismeaney Imagine a man in a red suit comes down your chimney on Christmas and leaves presents while you are sleeping

Imagine Mike Trout plays 135+ games. Would he be the biggest steal in drafts with an ADP of 180?

@JoeOrrico99 @WatchFilmMLB not even two games yet....

@WatchFilmMLB It’s been two games lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Is @JoeOrrico99 eating his words about Mike Trout yet? Probably not…not yet.

@RotoSurgeon don't blame me, I've never said he was elite.

Cole Ragans is the absolute worst elite pitcher in baseball

@CleGuardians Rhys Hoskins starting against a RHP. Good development for #FantasyBaseball

Everyone please pray for me. I'm having a very difficult time handling this. @Phillies Kyle Schwarber is not on any of my #FantasyBaseball teams this year. I don't know if I can cope with this.

@RealManSports @RunDMcD @Jeff_Erickson real man drafted Framber Valdez in round #1 instead of Skenes.

@LarrySchechter2 @RunDMcD @Jeff_Erickson real man leaves in Paul Skenes

Paul Skenes free look game, right?

@RunDMcD @khakibirds Agree. And another thing I haven't understood is everyone drafting Griffin Jax as if he's the clear cut closer. He's not. He might be, but he also might be the #1A in a committee or even part of a committee.

@khakibirds Could not understand people drafting Noelvi so high. Clear fade for me. Maybe I'll be wrong but🤷‍♂️

Short side noelvi 😳

@Jeff_Erickson @RunDMcD @RealManSports clearly the right move to bench him, I was just making a Chris Liss joke.

@LarrySchechter2 @RunDMcD @RealManSports Seven strikeouts with bad ratios, or a complete zero for the spot, which do you choose? I opted for the zero.

@RunDMcD @Jeff_Erickson A real man leaves Webb in his starting lineup, right @RealManSports ?

@Jeff_Erickson I couldn't handle it if Skenes owners got off the hook like Webb owners

@FAmmiranteTFJ @TBT_MLB @TheReal_NFC 3.32 is the correct answer

@TBT_MLB @TheReal_NFC Hyperbole

Let's say that Logan Webb finishes with 200 IP, 3.50 ERA like usual. Whoever drafted him @TheReal_NFC would basically get Webb at like a 2.70 ERA because of the free look. Wowwww

@clydediesel44 @RealManSports let me ask a more difficult question....who's the famous #MLB player who was both a hitter and a pitcher and his first name rhymes with "Gabe"?

@RealManSports Did they win CYA last year?

Trivia: Can you name the only two MLB starting pitchers whose last names start with the letters "Sk"?

@JonPgh Yes that would have got me very excited

if I were Luis Arraez, I'd steal two bases tonight just to get his idiot fantasy managers excited
