Well, out of Shota Imanaga, Ranger Suarez, and Seth Lugo, it was Imanaga who blinked, allowing seven earned runs against the Brewers. We can finally stop talking about them in the opening blurb... next week. The coming week is going to bring its usual challenges of trying to fill the void that the injured pitcher left behind (Blake Snell) or that hitter left behind (Spencer Torkelson). Then again, there isn't much of a void to fill in the case of Snell and Torkelson who were both severely ...

Another week and Shota Imanaga, Ranger Suarez, and Seth Lugo haven't blinked, so I'll keep listing them at the top here until one of them does. While that's all good, the injuries to star players continue to pile up and you can't help but feel a little depressed about the game of baseball, both real-life and fantasy, losing the likes of Ronald Acuna Jr. for the rest of the season due to an ACL injury (again). Sigh...but we must move on.For those keeping track of some of last week's topics, Ketel...

Another week has passed and yet again I get to mention Shota Imanaga and Ranger Suarez were excellent, while Seth Lugo did not want to be outdone so he went out and fanned 10 batters in his last start (now with 22 over his last two). None of these guys wants to blink first.For those keeping track of some of last week's topics, it was somewhat of a mixed bag for both Max Kepler and Brent Rooker this past week, as they kept hitting, just not at the torrid pace that they had been. Brady Singer went...

Hello again, RotoBallers. A new week of fantasy baseball is upon us and now that lineups are locked, let's take another look at the biggest stories of the last week. As always, I'll offer my thoughts from a fantasy context to gauge how relevant these goings-on are for us managers.On May 11, Paul Skenes finally arrived in Pittsburgh after getting stretched out in Triple-A for the first month and a half of the season. Stretching back to last weekend the Padres made the first big move of 2024, ...

Another week and Shota Imanaga, Ranger Suarez, and Seth Lugo are all still going strong. Marcell Ozuna collected two more RBI Sunday to bring his league-leading total to 40. However, it didn't matter as Brandon Nimmo hit a 2-run home run in his only at-bat of the game in the bottom of the ninth to win it for the Mets on Sunday Night Baseball.For those keeping track of some of last week's topics, Alec Bohm's hit streak finally came to an end, the Chris Sale "revenge game" narrative came to ...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ LeaguesROSTERED IN: 32% of LeaguesANALYSIS:After being used as a reliever for most of his career, the San Diego Padres made Seth Lugo a starter in 2023. He rewarded them by going 8-7 with a 3.57 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 140 strikeouts over 146 1/3 IP. He's ridden that success right on into 2024 with the Kansas City Royals.
