Helllooooo everybody! Let's talk some baseball this Friday the 13th!

Sporer Spice

3:06

You throwing Hamels out there tonight?

Paul Sporer

3:07

Sure, let's do it

Knuckle Churve

3:07

Hey Paulie, baby! Looking more grim by each report that Pedroia will return this year. Who do you think the Saux pursue to fill 2B?

Paul Sporer

3:08

Not sure if they hit the trade market, might just ride out Nunez

Sleeper Star

3:08

Pick One, rest of the season: Nathan Eovaldi - or - Shane Bieber? (Weekly, Head-to-Head: Strikeouts, Wins, ERA/WHIP)

Paul Sporer

3:08

That's tough, gonna lean Biebs bc of Eovaldi's inability to ever stay healthy

Jason

3:08

Thoughts on Conforto for the rest of this year and the future? What should I do with him in a keeper league?

Paul Sporer

3:08

Was pretty bearish on him this year, but still think he's a bright spot long-term

Pine Needles

3:08

Is Lindor the second-best fantasy SS?

Paul Sporer

3:09

Perhaps even the best

Nick

3:09

As a Joey Bats owner enjoying this ride, should I be rooting for him to get traded or not? On one hand, if he goes to a contender, maybe runs and RBIs galore. On the other hand, maybe he becomes a bench guy.

Paul Sporer

3:09

Almost certainly a bench guy elsewhere, better to ride it out in NYM

3:11

Is Kipnis sort of back? I have Souza and Ohtani at the bottom of my roster and am always looking to keep things fresh. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

3:13

Ehhh, I just never really trust Kip

Sporer Spice

3:13

You think Robbie Ray has it in him to have a strong second half?

Paul Sporer

3:13

Sure, but not to last year's level IMO. That was the peak with THESE skills so without some changes, he's a solid-but-not-elite arm

3:13

Starting Kingham tonight?

Paul Sporer

3:14

Yessir

(or ma'am)

Darryl

3:14

14-teamer, 5x5 H2H. In an average week, do you regard Gibson as a streamer or someone to hold?

Paul Sporer

3:15

Hold for sure. All the memes on the pod about Gibson aside, he's a must hold in many leagues even if you're only streaming him in 10-teamers between your roster and reserve

Sad

3:15

thoughts on thames ROS in a 12 tm OBP league? Would be replacing gallo or mccutchen in the lineup

Paul Sporer

3:17

I dig him, espec. in OBP. I prefer him to both, particularly Gallo

Bill

3:17

Haniger has fallen off a bit after a very hot start. Is this the true Haniger or is he somewhere in between?

Paul Sporer

3:17

I think he's a solid 115-130 wRC+ player

Joe

3:17

AL only, Felix Pena worth an add? BB history is scary.

Paul Sporer

Bill

3:19

Andrew Heaney or Jameson Taillon?

Paul Sporer

3:20

They're so close https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/july-starting-pitcher-rankings/ --- leaning Taillon

Pine Needles

3:22

Where does Bogaerts fit among the top SS? Top 5?

Paul Sporer

3:22

Big fan, but can't get him to top5 right now. Top 10, though.

Pat

3:22

are you holding out any hope of Samardjiza delivering value this year?

Paul Sporer

3:23

The worrisome thing is the walk rate being through the roof. I'm kinda scrapping my expectations for him this year

tacopocket

3:23

how am I still holding on to Calhoun?? if you're in the NY area, can you swing by and slap me across the face?

Paul Sporer

3:24

Hey, he's showing a little life lately so maaaayybbbeee

Luke

3:24

Start Bieber tonight vs Yankees?

Scott TINSTAAPP

3:24

Paul! Talk me out of starting Shane Bieber tonight against NYY in my 16 team 6x6 that has K/BB and an innings cap. Too risky against the Yanks? I need K/BB and his ratio is so dope I'm really tempted!

Paul Sporer

3:25

I think I'm leaning no on both cases, the widespread and also Scott's individual case

Bill

3:25

How many HRs does Bregman finish with this season? 30 is a real possibility right?
