Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 4

Injuries are commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Plate Discipline Standouts for 2020

Last year, I unveiled a new weighted index statistic for hitters – mPDI, which mirrors a famous quote by Hall of Fame pitcher, Greg Maddux: “The key to pitching is to have the ability to throw a strike when they’re taking and throw a ball when the hitter is swinging.” If we consider the inverse […]

Josh Bell Battling Power Outage Through Quarter Of Season

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell finally had his breakout campaign in 2019, mashing 37 doubles and 37 home runs en route to a .936 OPS. Fast forward to the first 15 games of 2020 and he has just one double and two home runs to his credit with a .579 OPS. Bell is whiffing […]

Steven Brault To Start Sunday, Joe Musgrove Scratched

Pittsburgh Pirates left-handed pitcher Steven Brault will get pushed up to start Sunday against the Tigers due to a sore ankle that has been bothering right-hander Joe Musgrove, who has been scratched. Brault appeared out of relief Friday, but threw just 32 pitches without recording an out. In three appearances (two starts) in 2020, Brault […]

Phillip Evans Carted Off Field Saturday After Collision

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Phillip Evans made his first Major League start at first base Saturday and was carted off the field after colliding with outfielder Gregory Polanco in the sixth inning.

Closers and Saves Report - Week 3 Waiver Wire

Before this 60-game season started, we all knew every little thing would matter more. We knew that every game was, essentially, 2.7 times as important as a regular game in a 162-game season. We knew managers would have much shorter leashes on their underperforming players, and perhaps much quicker promotions for the quick starters. But […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/7/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Things didn’t go our way Thursday. Our F5 under was smooth sailing until the bottom of the fourth when the A’s tacked on four runs, giving them five total. Then Milwaukee’s offense decided to come alive, while getting a great effort from Josh Lindblom. I have no regrets in the plays, they just didn’t work […]

Chad Kuhl, Steven Brault Likely To Continue Piggyback Roles

The Pittsburgh Pirates have essentially knotted right-handed pitcher Chad Kuhl and left-hander Steven Brault at the hip when it comes to appearing in games during 2020. Brault has started both games that the two have appeared in, with Kuhl following him, a move that manager Derek Shelton approved for at least one more start, although […]

Is It Too Good To Be True? Buying and Selling Hot Starts

Normally, after only one full week of the fantasy baseball season, we're casually taking stock of our teams, seeing which guys are settling into lineup spots, which teams look like they might be surprising, and generally feeling pretty good about where we're at now. However, there is nothing normal about this season. After one full […]

Week 3 MLB Closers & Bullpen Usage Report

As this weird, altered season progresses, the imbalance in the schedule becomes a bigger and bigger issue. Some teams have already played double-figure games, while others have played just a single series. This imbalance is obviously troublesome for the standings with the playoffs not all that far off in the grand scheme. It is also […]

We got back to the win column Wednesday. Boston led the entire game and never looked back, while Hyun-Jin Ryu and Sean Newcomb went toe-to-toe through five innings and the bullpens held it down from there. The Twins were silenced by Trevor Williams, but once he left the game the Pittsburgh bullpen gave up four […]

Having notched his first big league save back on July 28, Burdi was holding down the Pirates’ closer’s role for the time being, having showcased a […]

Keone Kela Throws Bullpen Session

Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Keone Kela (COVID-19) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday.
