Rather than overreact to fast and slow starts, we discuss some process points in evaluating your early-season roster and negotiating FAAB at this time of year. We do this through the lens of our own underperforming Main Event team (at what point does "underperforming" just become "bad"? hopefully we won't have to answer this!). <br /><br />Also, find out who the player is that was inexplicably dropped in our league and our approach to FAABing for him.

Eliot on you, because for us, and for fantasy basebal content, April is kind of a dead zone. Rather than overreact to fast and slow starts, we discuss some process points in evaluating your early-season roster and negotiating FAAB at this time of year. We do this through the lens of our own underperforming Main Event team (at what point does "underperforming" just become "bad"? hopefully we won't have to answer this!). <br /><br />Also, find out who the player is that was inexplicably dropped in our league and our approach to FAABing for him.

How have you been? We've been fine, thanks for asking. If you want to hear about baseball, this is the episode for you. There's a lot of discussion about fantasy off the top, specifically evaluation in hindsight. Real nitty gritty stuff if you're into that. If you're not, fear not! It then diverges into a discussion of the upcoming ALCS...sorta. One member of the team has lost their faith in their club, and wants to publicly opine about it. That splinters off several times. In conclusion, baseball is a land of contrasts. Thank you.<br /><br />Got a content idea for the show?

We've been fine, thanks for asking. If you want to hear about baseball, this is the episode for you. There's a lot of discussion about fantasy off the top, specifically evaluation in hindsight. Real nitty gritty stuff if you're into that. If you're not, fear not! It then diverges into a discussion of the upcoming ALCS...sorta. One member of the team has lost their faith in their club, and wants to publicly opine about it. That splinters off several times. In conclusion, baseball is a land of contrasts.

Anyway this week we're back after illness and tech problems derailed us for the past two weeks. Mike upon review does sound like he's broadcasting in the past, but it's fine all his content is from this time period(largely). Also we lost Jon, dunno where he went. He wandered off from the group. But good news, USA Today's Steve Gardner showed up! So he filled the role of Jon, and we got all sorts of early season discussion topics on the books. Trade questions, early season player and new rule impressions, all sorts of helpful things for players of all experience levels. Check it out. Or don't, we're podcasters not cops.

The job still treating you right? No? Well that blows, unionize your workplace and take back the means of production. Anyway this week we're back after illness and tech problems derailed us for the past two weeks. Mike upon review does sound like he's broadcasting in the past, but it's fine all his content is from this time period(largely). Also we lost Jon, dunno where he went. He wandered off from the group. But good news, USA Today's Steve Gardner showed up! So he filled the role of Jon, and we got all sorts of early season discussion topics on the books. Trade questions, early season player and new rule impressions, all sorts of helpful things for players of all experience levels. Check it out. Or don't, we're podcasters not cops. But it'd be cool if you did!<br /><br />Got a content idea for the show?

Mike Gianella, Jon Hegglund, and Samuel Hale are back in the saddle talking all about fantasy baseball once again.

As Mike mentions on the show, I'm on assignment this week so I'm not on the show. That said the show features Mike Gianella, Jon Hegglund, and Mikey Ajeto from Pitcher List talking about...something. I asked what I should look out for and I was told "There are swears." So, there's that. I'm assuming there's some baseball talk in there as well.

Mike, Jon, and Samuel decided it'd be fun to do a show all about baseball movies. Well, Samuel did and the hosts didn't complain so it worked out just fine. They put movies into three categories, not unlike fantasy baseball players. See the tie in? Anyway it's a fun show with a lot of opinions including one classic baseball movie getting savaged in the "Movie to Avoid" tier. Enjoy!<br /><br />John Mulaney bit referenced at some point in the podcast: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ButlizwQXnU" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ButlizwQXnU</a><br /><br />Got a content idea for the show?

There's a good discussion about names that have a lot of helium right now(Chris Paddack for example) as well as discussing the merits of taking established veterans against young unproven talents as your draft extends into the later rounds.
