And it’s official. I’ve gotten a lot of questions about him the last two days. I think he’s a very talented pitcher, but I would not drop a starter with upside who is performing right now, like Braxton Ashcraft, Payton Tolle, or Max Meyer, etc.
@Andrew_FBB Flip it around - Alexei Ramirez, who I’d dropped a few weeks earlier, with a sunday night extra inning GW fielder’s choice RBI to beat me by half a point in the semis. I then outscored the teams in the finals by about 100 pts. Not that it mattered. What coulda been, Alexei !
Forgot to mention one more player!
⚾️Daylen Lile - starting to heat up! Over the last 2 weeks, he's hitting .280 with 7 R, 2 HR, 5 RBI, and a SB (his only on the year).
We all of course want him to steal more bases but the popular target in drafts this year by many is coming around. Nationals have some guys who can hit. Lile should be in the middle of that.

The 'ol "Virginia" household can't seem to stay healthy. Daughter is now sick with a bug and an ear infection. At 8 months old - it's been a rough couple of days for my wife and I. Team no sleep.
I digress - someone play the violin for me.
Let's get into it. A thread 🧵👇🏻

Hi Mike, 2 questions for you…
1. H2H points redraft. Just lost Horton and Brown, how do rank: Cantillo, Noah Cameron, Abel, Holmes, Roupp, Assad, Cecconi?
2. The new CBS app is brutal! Doesn’t even show your pitchers expected starts/matchups. What fantasy app is best
#FantasyBaseball Q&A with Mike V-A!
Ask away.

@mattlike8@bluskyflyguy@CBSScottWhite@CBSSports@CBSFantasy@CBSSportsGang Horrendously bad!! @CBSFantasy removed some pretty key things:
- players schedule doesn’t show opposing pitcher
- pitchers schedule doesn’t show the days of expected starts
- player profiles don’t show player’s age
CBS - forcing people to leave your site for research!
@CBSScottWhite Scott please reply. The updated CBS fantasy baseball app is terrible. Can’t get All Player news (only my team), random unexplained acronyms, counterintuitive navigation. Help
@MartienBall 2 consistent behaviours of the Fergie era:
1. If a player lost the ball, they ran like they were on fire to win it back. Everyone.
2. When we scored, all players joined together to celebrate the scorer and the goal. Everyone.
Watch them now, effort and spirit sporadic at best.
7 Napoli players tracking back to defend in the 84th minute. Look at the determination to protect their goal.
They’re doing it because of the ‘back 4’ formation, right? Nothing to do with their mentality and work rate.
@JasonBeck82@WhitecapsFC I was young but I seem to recall the name players like now weee at the end of their runs.
Alan Ball, Kevin Hector come to mind. I remember a game off the start Hector scored from centre because the goalie hadn’t fully returned to his net to start the game.
Throwing this out for debate for those trying to place the significance of the Thomas Muller signing with the @WhitecapsFC: biggest Whitecaps signing ever or biggest since Rudi Krol in 1980? People forget the Caps signed some very high profile players in their latter NASL years.
@JasonBeck82@WhitecapsFC Everybody on that team was wowed by Rudi Krol. Caps also had Frans Thijssen who won the UEFA Cup with Ipswich in 80-81. Half the “Damned United” group played in Vancouver as well as a young Bruce Grobbelar.
