2.Imai with another good start on Saturday – 5 IP, 5 hits, 2 ER, 8K/3BB. That’s three in a row, including the no-hitter.
a.Is he turning the corner?

3.Sure it was the Angels, but Roki Sasaki looked great on Friday. 7 IP, 2 hits, 0 ER, 10K/2BB. He’s been particularly good over his past four starts...

1.Let’s take a look at the standings

2.FYI – Corbin Burnes hurt his shoulder during his rehab and now is unlikely to pitch this season.

3.Revisiting Sandlin vs. Jump. Both came up together, and Sandlin outpitched Jump in the first game, but Sandlin got it handed to him in game two, and Jump pitched 7 strong innings for the win.
a.Who do you take for Game 3?

4.Justin Verlander is expected back this weekend. He has a favorable matchup against the Mariners.
a.Do you dare?

Segments 1 and 2 – Review this weekend’s games
Additional Discussion Points
1.Finally, Tatis gets on the board with his first home run.
a.Over/Under 20 home runs for the season

2.Kumar Rocker had a strong game on Saturday – 6.0 IP, 3 hits, 0 ER, 2K/3BB
a.He has a 3.54 ERA but his xERA is 4.55. He’s also only striking out 7.5 per nine. Is he anything more than a number four/five starter?

3.Lucas Erceg has been awful this week and not much better over the past two. He completely imploded y...

Take 10 with Tim – May 29, 2026 @ 9:15 am

1.David Sandlin and Gage Jump made their MLB debut this week.
a.Sandlin (RHP, CHW) – 6.0 IP, 1 hit, 1 ER, 4K/0BB; FB: 97.7 mph (T 99.3), CB: 29% whiff rate
b.Gage Jump (LHP, ATH) – 5.0 IP, 9 hits, 4 ER, 5K/1BB; FB: 95.9 mph (T 97.9); SL 45% whiff rate; sweeper 33% whiff rate
c.Jump is the more heralded as the Red Sox had moved Sandlin to the bullpen, but after the trade to the White Sox and moving back to the rotation, and had him throw his curveball more, he’s been better. Jump of course pitches half his...

Segments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend games
Additional Notes:
1.With the struggles of Steven Kwan this season, Travis Bazzana has been moved to the leadoff spot.
a.What is your assessment of him so far this season?
b.When do we pull the trigger on Steven Kwan and throw him on the waiver wire – he’s hitting .199 with 1 home run and 2 SB. Granted, he also has a .224 BABIP, so I would expect a correction. But the xERA is still only .223. Yikes!

2.Kevin Alcantara is getting another shot. He can’t hit, but...

The following players are discussed:

Additional Questions:
1.Murakami hit’s his 17th home run last night – Over/Under 50
2.More pitchers hurt
a.Blake Snell – out for a good chunk of the season to remove loose bodies – ala Tarik Skubal. Skubal looks like he’s already playing toss, hopefully Snell can following a similar rehab.
i.Who gets his starts? River Ryan looked great in his last start in the minor leagues – he’s still getting stretched out after having his rehab from TJS halted. He’ll likely need another two sta...

Take 10 with Tim – May 15, 2026 @ 9:15 – 45 minutes to an hour.
1.God help us, but Zebby Matthews looked great yesterday. It was the Marlins, but a line of 7.0 IP, 4 hits, 0 ER, 5K/1BB is pretty awesome.
a.What are you doing about him?
b.I’ve held onto him in a couple of Dynasty Leagues, but I think this is a sucker setup.

2.The kids are getting called nearly every day.
a.On Tuesday, A.J. Ewing was promoted to “save the Mets' season”. Well, the Mets win their first series against the Tigers, and Ewing is 3 for 6, wit...

Take 10 with Tim – May 8, 2026

1.Well, the big news of the week was Tarik Skubal needing elbow surgery to remove loose bodies – in other words, bone chips. Provided that’s all there is, the recovery is likely three months. Add two to three more weeks for rehab, and maybe he’s back in September. Brutal blow for fantasy managers to lose their first-round pick.
a.What’s the plan if you have Skubal or your team?
b.Is this a reminder of the risk of using a first-round pick on a pitcher, or well, everybody gets hurt?
c.Pit...

Additional Comments:
1.Trey Gibson making his Major League debut today. Let’s see how he’s doing?
2.Jasson Dominguez got the call earlier this week with Giancarlos Stanton hitting the IL? Will he get enough at-bats to warrant picking up.
a.The Yankees need to decide on what to do with Anthony Volpe on Monday. I’ve seen him play four games, I think. Whatever it was, he didn’t get a hit in any of them. Overall, he has played ok - .270 BA wi...

1.The Red Sox had enough and fired Alex Cora and a number of coaches.
a.Can a shakeup of the Mets and Phillies be far behind?
2.Sal Stewart hit another home run and is now upto nine home runs and is hitting .303. He’s the early favorite for NL ROY. Is Carter Jenson leading in the AL – over Chase DeLauter and Murakami?

1)Is it time for fantasy managers to put him on their rosters?

2.Ben Rice was the one guy I told our Patreon members not to leave the draft without. It’s proving prescient, and now the Yankees are using him more against lefties. Over/Under 35 home runs.

Additional Questions:
1.The White Sox listened to our podcast on Friday, as it’s being reported that Noah Shultz will be called up to start Tuesday against the Rays. I’ve already put my Hot Prospects of the Week in place and wrote three paragraphs about Shultz before the game. In sum, I’m not convinced his control problems are behind him. What say you?

1.Maybe it’s just me, but offense seems to be a problem to start the season. There are a ton of guys struggling. Here are just 12. I could have gone 30 or 40 deep. Start, Sit, and Drop
1)Julio Rodriguez (OF, Sea, 100% rostered, 9 ADP) - .143 BA, 0 HR, 0 SB, 4 runs, 2 RBI

Additional Notes:
1.Mookie Betts with an oblique and Hunter Brown with a shoulder?
a.Who are the pickups?
2.What happened to Cristian Javier, or was he always overrated? He’s a flyball pitcher with a 92-93 mph fastball. While he had a great season in 2022, he wasn’t good prior to TJS and has been really inconsistent since.
a.Is he somebody who can bounce back?
3.When do we start to worry about Nick Kurtz? Prior to Saturday’s game, he’s one for 21...

Take 10 with Tim – April 3, 2026 @ 9:15 am – 1 hr
1.    Now were talking…Konnor Griffin will be promoted prior to Friday’s game.  It’s being reported that the Pirates signed him to a nine year, $140 million contract.  It was in line with what the Red Sox signed Roman Anthony for last season 8-years and $130 million.
a.    It’s smart given what has happened to contracts, but as we’ve been saying, you’ve got to get Griffin in the big leagues soon to get acclimated
i.    Ok – projections – AB, HR, SB and BA
ii.    Does this make a difference for the Pirates?  If so, how m...

1.Hamate surgery has struck early and often, with three prominent players, Corbin Carroll, Francisco Lindor, and Jackson Holliday, going down in the first week of Spring Training. Each has already been downshifted in drafts. Too much, not enough, or just right? Also, should we draft their backup in drafts?
a.Corbin Carroll – Moved from 8.08 to 13.20
b.Francisco Lindor – Move from 16.66 to 27.80
c.Jackson Holliday – Moved from 136.36 to 162.40

The following players are discussed:

1. Ethan Holliday (SS, Col) - Advanced bat, plus hit tool, developing power, solid athlete
2. Kade Anderson (LHP, Sea) - Advanced command, polished pitch mix, competitive edge; mid‑rotation with strikeout upside.
3. Tatsuya Imai (RHP, Hou) - Undersized right-handed hitter with a lower three-quarters delivery. 97 to 99 MPH fastball that flattens out due to his arm swing. Plus slider.
4. Liam Doyle (LHP, STL) - Swing-and-miss lefty with a deceptive splitter. Could be a high-strikeout SP2 if he stays healthy.
5. Kazuma Okamoto (3B, Tor) - Older prospect who demonstrated plus power and a...

b.In looking at their lineup, Spencer Steer or Sal Stewart is going to lose playing time. Steer is 28 and is one year removed from a 20-20 season, but with serious concerns about how much he’ll hit, and Sal Stewart is a rookie, although he looked great in his debut last...

2.The Giants also sign Harrison Bader. Any interest?
3.The White Sox sign Seranthony Dominguez. I know the White Sox have said that they will make Grant Taylor a multi-inning reliever, so I’m assuming Dominguez is the closer. How ar...
