Hey y'all, thanks for coming out!!

TBD

1:02

In the championship, ending next week. Morel or Poland’s at 2b?

Paul Sporer

1:02

wait, who's the other guy? Poland?

mr d

1:02

How do you feel about pepiot vs SD today?

Paul Sporer

1:03

I'm very pro-Pep. SD is a risk, but I think Pepiot is startable in all formats w/how well he's throwing

The Kid

1:03

No question, just stating it's pain to lose in the semi finals after dominating all year because your opponent stashed almost every 2 start waiver pitcher this week for H2H points

Paul Sporer

1:03

Oh maaaaaaaaan that's painful. Sorry to hear that!

Kikuchi

1:03

would he have gotten tic-tac-toe (X's across 10 12 and 15) against Texas today? what about if I'm in a roto 0.02 ERA from gaining 2 points and 0.09 ahead of next place

Paul Sporer

1:05

He would've had tic-tac-toe with a reminder that he's not a must in shallower formats bc Texas is still really tough. That said, it's hard to shade him when he has 2 HR allowed in his L10 starts!!

Mookie W

1:05

Did you see anything from Rodon to make you trust him going forward? he’s got @PIT, AZ, @KC.

Paul Sporer

1:08

The velo was up and I liked the Ks. I think the schedule keeps me invested in Rodon

B'ryce Hammer

1:08

So, I traded Olson for Verlander and Vinnie P two weeks before he went bust. Now I'm in my H2H championship against the dude who has my Olson, and Verlander somehow gave up 5! ER to the Oakland Athletics. I think I'm gonna be sick.

Paul Sporer

1:09

OMGGGG that's brutal. Obv love the trade at the time and I share your EXTREME displeasure of JV getting merked in OAK... wtf was that?!?!

ScottTINSTAAPP

1:09

really enjoying the Immortal Seasons content in OOTP PT!

Paul Sporer

1:09

Thanks so much! I've been having a blast with those cards. I'm running Canseco in Diamond tournies and he is UNREAL for me. He and Semien are my 2 faves for tourney while Satch and Tulo have been great for me in league

Pete

1:09

Are you shying away from Kirby (vs LAD) or Eflin (vs BAL) on Friday?

Paul Sporer

1:10

Only in full on protect mode, otherwise I'm running both

TBD

1:10

Morel or polanco * sorry about that. Thanks

Paul Sporer

1:11

Ohhh, OK, no prob!! I'm a little nervous on Morel's PT. He's been playing a lot this wk bc of the lefties but will it continue when the lefties dry up

So I lean Polanco now that he's back from bereavement

Who's Fabio?

1:11

He'll never win but how much ROY love will Davis Schneider get? How much value has that guy delivered?

Paul Sporer

1:13

We have him at 2.4 WAR already!!! It's like Gary Sanchez where his 53 gms got him 2nd place to Fulmer a few yrs ago. Problem for Schneider is the pool of candidates is muuuuuch deeper so he might get some occasional down ballot votes

Olson for Verlander and Pasquantino

1:13

I feel a bit better now about my meh trade record this year

Paul Sporer

1:13

We've all taken some big Ls... especially on trades that looked good at the moment

Noelvi

1:13

Is he droppable in all formats after breaking his nose? Need the steals, but who knows when he’ll come back

Paul Sporer

1:15

Yeah he pinch ran yesterday but I'm not sure when he's gonna be back in the lineup and if he'll take risks on the bases even when he's playing again. I'm OK cutting.

Guest

1:15

R u throwing Montgomery today @Tor. If he blows it again is he a drop

Paul Sporer

1:16

Speaking of getting merked by OAK... yeah, I'm OK taking the shot today but agree that another flop is an easy cut

Tears4Sears

1:16

On the flip side of JV merkage was me sitting a Sears QS that I really could have used...

Paul Sporer

1:16

Oof!!! The pain of these roster moves in September is so tough bc obviously you're starting JV v. OAK alllll the time and avoiding Sears so of course they have opposite performances

Roman

1:17

Thoughts on using Montgomery vs Toronto today? He's been a little shaky and my opponent will post more IP than me, so I'm just trying to preserve my ratios and clear the minimum IP.

Paul Sporer

1:17

Meant to put both JorMont questions at the same time... I'm a little more skeptical on this one, though, given you situation. I'd lean toward a pass.

1:17

Last week, you said you preferred Volpe over Gunnar next year. Do you like Volpe over Gunnar next year because of steals only? How do you figure in position flexibility in your calculation?

Paul Sporer

1:19

Having 3B/SS is nice for Gunnar but not enough to cover the SB deficit which is the primary reason that I choose Volpe. I don't think he will necessarily trail Gunnar in power and R/RBI as much next year, either, and of course I have Volpe's AVG rising after this year's ugly .210

B'ryce Hammer

1:19

I also bought low/sold low, Trea for Vladdy :(

Paul Sporer

1:20

Right before the Trea super surge I presume??? Dang.

diadem

1:20

Is Jordan Wicks (CHC0 success sustainable? What is it based on?

Paul Sporer

1:21

I like Wicks and I'm trusting him the rest of the way despite his modest 11% K-BB. Strong command and control and high W potential are the drivers for me

Chip

1:21

No way you start Christopher Sanchez against ATL, right?

Paul Sporer

1:22

Correct. I loved Sanchez for the 2H and I'm happy w/what he gave me, but I cut him this wk as he's slated for back-to-back ATL starts
