@Tmattern1@FOFProspects T -Mat, great question! Sources remain confidential to protect their relationship with the insider giving Intel. I'm retired now so dont mind sharing. I was a source for a famous beat writer, had a 97% success rate on scoops based on the size & orientation of my bowel movements
@JonHeyman@EvanPetzold An insider hears of a development, then reports it out.
Do we really want the breaking development to FULLY bake (even if it takes hours) before its shared? I know I don’t.
To blame the insider when a development as its initially reported goes awry is MONUMENTALLY ridiculous.
Skubal will undergo surgery for loose bodies in his elbow. There’s no set timetable but it’s seen as a relatively routine surgery. Best guess: two months @EvanPetzold 1st on surgery
@BenVerlander Marlins probably have the best SP in AAA waiting in-the-wings with nothing else to prove (Robby Snelling, ERA 1.86 while K’ing a ton) … but Miami will probably continue to throw Paddack out there for a reason nobody on Earth can understand.
@BNightengale The heart of this lineup (in my opinion) is K.Schwarber and T.Turner, both literally in MVP consideration last season.
Can’t go from being MLBs best performers to “aged out” in a few month’s time, can you??
@SFGiantPoster@BenVerlander Are there really still any knuckleheads out here that actually believe (deep down) the “blame on translator” garbage? I suspect even those who SAY they do, don’t REALLY believe it.
The whole delusional take is old/tired. I’d say it’s time to get some new material.
@Jacob1nvests@Bigo30605095@MLB …but is Murakami pitching 24-innings this season, giving-up only a single run in those four QS games, ERA of 0.38 with 25 strikeouts??
@MLB79791779@MLB Ohtani pitched another 6-scoreless innings tonight (his ERA is down to 0.38). I’m guessing we aren’t going to see Murakami come close to matching that.
@Roto_Frank Any idea what percentage of CBS leagues are S+H (versus S only)? I’ve heard that S+H is growing in popularity, but have never seen this quantified.
My customized rotisserie league has been S+H for a great many years (for what it’s worth).
⚾️ RANKINGS UPDATE ⚾️
Here are my rest of season positional Fantasy Baseball rankings. Had a TON of movement at relief pitcher and moved Parker Messick all the way up to SP40!

@DodgerBlue1958 But, why? Seems like a no-brainer to me. Not needed as a starter with the emergence of Weobleski, and we remember how monumentally effective Sasaki was coming out of the pen in the post-season.
@HollyBaylorMLB I’ll never understand why/how complete bullshit accounts like this are even allowed. Its not like these dumb posts are in any way funny/amusing, or that they add any value whatsoever.
The world would be a much better place if they simply ceased to exist.
Sources: #Dodgers have checked in with Padres on closer Mason Miller following news that Edwin Díaz is expected to undergo a procedure to remove loose bodies from his elbow.
Early talks are said to include C Dalton Rushing as a potential centerpiece. L.A. exploring all options.
@BNightengale When looking at the bigger picture, all that will matter is that Diaz is ready to contribute (Close games) by October, and sounds promising he will be … with few in-season mileage on that arm.
