Giants are lying against us. They said they don’t call Bryce Eldridge (0-out-3) this year. Just thought of the Lilliputian who read: “Giants lied against us”, stopped reading and started running through the city, and shouted bloody murder. Come back, little friends! I’m talking about the giants of San Francisco! A Lilliputian who was planning to visit San Fran this fall: “There are giants in San Francisco? Egads!” Welp, now that I just talk to ordinary people, lost the Giants Dom Smith and had an opening on 1st base for Bryce Eldridge, so Frank Voila! Here he is! Quite wild that Dom Smith would block everyone. Is that the Dom Smith that had one good game in 2019? That Dom Smith? Okay! So, Bryce Eldridge was the 12th on the top 50 of fantasy baseball perspectives that itch just gave you this Sunday. This year, Eldridge went 25/1/.260 in the minors in 384 ABS with a 29.3 K% and 30.8% in Triple-A. Think at a certain point he will be as good as advertised – 40+ hours ,.260 – Think of Pete Alonso in San Fran. Call him Effete Alonso. – But at the moment he is 20 years old and hits way too much. If you want to take a kite, go for it, but he seems that he is as good as, say, Jac Caglianone this year. Nothing for pitchers to fear this year, not even. Anyway, this is what I saw even more yesterday in Fantasy Baseball:
Kai-Wei Teng – 4 IP, 0 er, ERA at 6.41 vs. Zac Galen – 6 IP, 1 er, 3 baserunners, 6 ks, era at 4.73. This matchup was invoiced as: “A cowboy that you don’t want to sit behind in the films. You know, starting with his Teng/Gallen.”
James McCann -1-out-4, 2 RBIs and his 5th Homer and 2nd Homer in two games. If the name of your keeper League team is anal retentive, congratulations on having Raleigh and McCann.
Elly de la Cruz -1-out-3, 1 run when he was dropped in the order on the 7th. Only because they could not take him to the 17th.
Sal Stewart -3-out-5, 3 runs, 2 RBIs and his 4th Homer, 2nd Homer in two games and third Homer in a week and he only played in 11 games. I’m not sure if you have looked at Stewart, but I did. Easy power. Ease. E. Pow. UR. Nothing wrong.
Zack Littell – 5 2/3 IP, 4 er, 5 hits, zero walks, 3 ks, era at 3.86 versus Matthew Liberatore – 6 IP, 2 er, 5 baserunners, 6 ks, era on 4.30. This matchup was invoiced as: “Streamonator tells you that you don’t have to start either, but you are in a H2H matchup and you need every start you can get, so that you start both boys with your hands over your eyes.”
Nolan Arenado -2-from-4 when he was activated from the IL. Saved card season!
Bo Bichette – Visit a specialist for a 2nd opinion about his PCL disposal. The name of the specialist is Dr. Bobert Donald, but his friends call him Bdon and he is going to tell Bichette to retire.
Orelvis Martinez – Jays released him. He was a top perspective, but he hit .176 in Triple-A. In other words, he will follow Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Adam Frazier next year in Pittsburgh.
Trey YESAVAGE – 5 IP, 1 er, 5 baserunners, 9 ks, as he was called. Ye Olde Savage had just passed in my Trey Yesavage -Fantasia yesterday. Tl; Dr. I like him, but I don’t know how much he will pitch this year. At Keepers, Yummers. Yesterday he looked fantastic. He had nine ks in 69 litters. Nice. Ye Olde Savage has a devastating splitter, my favorite pitch that I want to throw every pitcher. In recent weeks we have received an abundance of young starters. It is as if the universe says: “Don’t worry, prematurely balding man, you don’t have to worry about roasting Ober and Bibee next year.”
Joe Boyle – 6 ip, 0 er, 3 hits, zero walks, 5 ks, era at 4.64. As he was recalled by the rays. I am still uncontrollably enthusiastic about Boyle for next year. For this year? Current.
Simeon Woods Richardson – 6 IP, 0 er, 5 baserunners, 11 ks, era at 4.31. I streamed him because everyone was taken. Let’s hear it due to lack of options!
Brooks Lee -2-out-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 15th Homer. Sonavabench! I was in front of Carson Williams. Let’s do it here for many options! (The same competition as SWR too.)
Colton Cowser -1-out-4, 3 RBIs and his 15th Homer and 2nd Homer in two games. Hot Schmotato Alert!
Kyle Bradish – 5 IP, 1 er, 8 baserunners (4 BBS), 9 ks, era at 2.45. His peripherals since his return: 12.3 k/9, 3.3 BB/9, 2.98 XFIP. Stop talking to me dirty!
Daylen -2-out-3 and his 6th Homer. He has been great, was last week’s purchase, but you are not ready for that conversation. [fingers to earbud] Hear that you are ready. Okay. My bad.
Spencer steps – 7 IP, 1 er, 6 baserunners, 6 ks, era at 4.64. And with that … closes it. I’m sorry if you need him for fantasy, but please let him rest.
Matt Olson -4-out-5, 2 runs, 4 RBIs and his 26th Homer, three homers in three games. Atlanta’s dead cat bounces.
Ronald Acuña Jr. -2-out-4, 2 runs and his 17th Homer. It is a restrained huge bummer that he looks like a scale of the pre-Six-knee-over-arching Acuña.
Drake Baldwin -3-out-5, 4 RBIs and his 16th Homer. If you prepare Adley Rutschman for Drake Baldwin next year, then you know the reflex hammer that doctors use to touch your knee? They have to use that to hit your head.
Kyle Schwarber -1-out-3 and his 53rd Homer, 3rd Homer in three games. Kyle Schwarber’s 22 HR vs. LHP as LHH This season is the most bound in MLB history. He connects Matt Olson (2021) and Stan Musial (1949). Hopefully Schwarber has a better 31-year season than Olson did this year. (It’s a joke; Schwarber is older; don’t let me Spllain Shizz.)
Bryce Harper -1-out-3 and his 27th Homer. Quite wild how a 30/13/.265 season will feel boring from Harper, while it really shouldn’t.
Emmet Sheehan – 5 2/3 IP, 1 er, 4 baserunners, 7 ks, era on 3.17. While he followed Anthony Banda (1/3 IP, 1 er), for what I can only describe as Dave Roberts trying to pretend he is smart.
Max Muncy -1-out-5 and his 18th Homer. Max is the Munciest!
Andy -Pages -3-out-4, 2 runs and his 25th Homer, hit .276. If you didn’t know better, you would think that there was a real reason that pages were 8th, behind Alex Call, Miguel Rojas, Muncy, Freeman, Teoscar, Betts, well, being behind everyone, but Ohtani is zero sentence.
Mookie Betts -1-out-3, 3 RBIs and his 19th Homer. Mookie dear!
Pete Crow-Armstrong -2-out-4, 2 runs and a slam (29) and legs (35). I will be honest, I thought he had 29 homers and 35 steals in July. [looking up his stats] Not far away.
Michael Busch -1-out-5 and his 28th Homer, 2nd Homer in three games. It seems that I made a smart move to act Lawrence Butler for Busch at the All-Star Break! [blows on knuckles, wipes knuckles on shirt, sees knuckles had ketchup on them and it’s now on my shirt] Damn! I’m faux braggadocios, don’t come for me. Busch has hardly been startable for most of the 2nd half. Butler is terrible and maybe a little better.
Jameson Tallon – 6 IP, 0 er, 4 baserunners, 3 ks, era at 3.93. Fun fact! I am a half-i-tallon. Less fun fact! He is a streamonator call.
Jack Ladder – 6 2/3 IP, 3 er, 6 baserunners, 4 ks, era at 3.82. The last rule looks better than the reality where he has given up three undeserved runs for the Ticker shock. I am not a Leiter fan. Strangely enough, Zippo interest.
Josh Jung -2-out-4, 2 RBIs and his 14th Homer. If Josh Smith (1-out-3, 1 RBI) and Josh Jung merged into a gigantic Josh, who hit their combined 25 hours and .250, I would still have very little interest in Joshmongous.
Jason Alexander – 4 2/3 IP, 1 er, ERA at 4.04. Not even five innings for Jason Alexander? Oh, I know it was shrinkage.
Jordan Alvarez – Slipped on the home plate and had to be helped in the clubhouse. They made him the diagnosis of a left single disguise and it looked bad. Freeman had a similar injury last year, so if the Astros and Padres make the World Series, Yordan has the chance to do the funniest ever when the Padres Nestor brings in in relief.
