Wow, that's a bit of a shock for a Midwest kid. Iowa lost Jack Nunge back home closer to Indiana simply because of family health issues and going through another knee injury (torn meniscus). Still waiting on Weiskamp to decide, but doubt he goes for NBA. Garza might not even be drafted. And hopefully Jason Bohannon will just leave campus and become a local real estate or Edward Jones investment broker. Guess Marcus Carr, Jacob Young (Rutgers) and Rasir Bolton from Iowa State are three of the best ones left out there...and a kid from Siena.

Is this is a soccer joke?

Has anyone heard where Liam Robbins of Minnesota/Drake is going to go? Any rumors?

Despite his roster listing with the White Sox, Yermin isn't yet qualified as a catcher on most fantasy league rosters. Still listed as a utility guy. Ironic now he can be a pitcher and utility guy but not behind the plate, where he would make an even bigger impact since defense is completely irrelevant. Maybe it is appropriate, in a way...that they haven't even had him catch a single inning yet.

Put him together with Soto, Tatis, Vladdy Junior and Walker Buehler over Fulmer, we might have ourselves a team that can actually beat the Twins and Indians. All we're lacking is Ronald Acuna, Jr.

Well, the problem is that every athlete/celebrity/social media has one now...it's especially hard for even more sophisticated investors to parse through this stuff. Definitely not for short-term, in/out or day traders looking to make a quick profit. That said, the majority of individual investors aren't putting $1 million into little baskets of future explosive growth all over the place...it's the ones with at least $100 million in net worth, investment banks/hedge funds driving all this, am I right? Everything's gone crazy. Even JP Morgan Chase is now involved with their own version with that $6+ billion loan for the European Super League for soccer/football.

Plus Yermin wasn't throwing all out...77~78 isn't close to his throws from the catcher's spot or were he positioned in the outfield. Now if he got hurt, though, everyone would look like complete dumbasses.

They already have McKay with that in mind...partially. Saving money, too, over the longer term. But he got hurt just like Ohtani.

Eaton not giving up...at least. And Robert has been making lots of hard contact in different directions for the last week.

Eaton not giving up...at least.

Well, it might be the worst thing ever not to have an ace...unless it’s going to be Rodon or Kopech, not many candidates. Madrigal’s first big league triple. Wrapped around that RF curve.

Where did Burdi’s fastball go? Well, at least the last one to Gonzalez had some life on it. 7 earned runs, leaves with a 5.79 ERA after starting the game just above 3. So much for our +/- RS and RA differential argument.

This feels like the 2017-18 version...where you were hoping and praying he would give up no more than 4-5 runs and maybe eke out 5+ ip. Finally mercy rule is in effect.

Getting closer and closer...

Eovaldi’s fastball is the envy of baseball. He’s usually behind only deGrom, Severino and maybe Thor in average velocity.

And Padres had to use Cronenworth, who actually pitched as Michigan and legitimately could make it as a reliever if he focused on it exclusively.

His curve was one of his better pitches in 2017-18...or am I totally imaging things?

Five earned runs...

He has a curve and slider, but hardly ever uses them. Well, the fantasy league pitching stats have been totally eviscerated for this week, lol.

Burdi up finally...

Are they really going to leave him out for 40+ pitches in one inning...?

Is this the fourth time now we can’t move past the .500 mark? Lamb’s play is now an error on the bunt.

Well, probably a good idea not to give him $125-150 million. Of course, without getting his TOR stuff back means they’re going to struggle to make the playoffs... More bad defense from Garcia. No idea why Vaughn’s not playing today after picking up a double yesterday. Finally threw a slider.

Can’t burn the entire bullpen. Going to have to eat it. Changeups getting hit yet again...and more defensive issues from Lamb not helping much.

Having a flashback to 2017-18 Giolito here...
