Happy Kokomo Friday Everybody! Thank you, Frank Scott and Chris! Good Luck everybody! Have a Great Vacation Frank! I agree with Chris I feel bad for Trout and his family! I had him in several leagues.! Very sad situation
First couple of weeks in the season I had Gelof and someone offered me K Marte for Ragans. Since that solidified my offense I went for it since I had good pitchers and don’t mind streaming. I’m glad I did!
“Don’t expect anything from Mike Trout” seemed like it meant don’t place specific expectations on him when the truth is no one knows what he’s going to be able to do in 2025. Scott pretty clearly misunderstood the statement imo
Scott: it's not as if Trout has a recurring back injury or anything like that. Mike Trout's doctors in 2023: Mike Trout has a degenerative spinal condition
"I'm seeing it on chat and seeing it on twitter where people are making fun of Trout for getting hurt. Be human beings" -Chris Towers Amen and Amen sir!!!
Towers is always fighting a straw man- 2-3 terrible people tweet in the comments and he uses it as a way to lecture everyone. Didn’t see anyone who covers/analyzes fantasy doing this at all.
I have passed on Jackson Holliday . . . Until next season. Opted for J. Merrill. Also has OF eligibility and I love the multipostion guys. Plenty of great 2B options. I have improved on my diamond rank in Yahoo this season. Half my teams are in first place. Gonna be hard to improve in ESPN though, won 18 of 25 leagues last season.
There are 4 players I hope to get in a draft pick in my preferable order in pts leagues that I play in...1) Bobby Witt Jnr 2) Gunnar Henderson 3) Aaron Judge and 4) Shohei Ohtani. I would be dead happy to get one of those 4 next year in my snake draft leagues
I don’t have any of those players but really thought Candelario would be elite this year on that team. He has flashes but dang, if that team ever dialed in(all of them) they would put up a fight against any team
Vinnie P has better SLG at home. He had same HR road/home before today (6). Scott sounds in denial about Trout. Also w/ “balanced” schedule you still play division 2x more than rest of AL. Also If Towers could stop interrupting Frank (often to repeat things already said but in general), the show would be a lot better. Frank already gets about 5% of the time to do analysis/opinion.
As far as month to month production, could it be that managers are now benching players after giving them leash? So better offense is coming from better players?
54:43 I never understand why Scott recommends starting an iffy pitcher “only in Points Leagues” when a bad start could cost you as high as -15- -20 if it completely goes off the rails. Maybe I’m seeing from an ESPN League lens.
Hard decision but I agree with Gimenez… he does have the ability on that team to tear it up though, but we are still waiting. He is on waivers in two of the four leagues I’m in.
PCA guys, PCA. I’ve been telling him I’ve been telling people he’s going to break out ever since we got benched and he is breaking out since two weeks ago
Scott and Chris talk as if Mayo's defense is bad. Prospect hounds who, I daresay, have watched him play far more often than these two combined say his defense is fine. I'm going with the prospect hounds on this.
