Paul Campbell Suspended 80 Games

Miami Marlins pitcher Paul Campbell was suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone. The suspension is effective immediately. Campbell may be proof that taking performance enhancing drugs does not immediately make a player successful, as he had an 8.74 ERA in 11 1/3 innings of work. Campbell got one start […]

Miami Marlins second baseman Isan Diaz finally got his first two hits of the season in Sunday's loss to the Washington Nationals.

Trevor Rogers Does Okay On Sunday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers was just okay in Sunday's start against the Washington Nationals. He pitched five innings, allowing three runs on four hits while walking three and striking out six. Rogers still looked good in this one, but he wasn't at his best like he's been in most of his other […]

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar is getting the day off on Sunday against the Nationals. Garrett Cooper will take over at first in his place and bat third in the lineup.

Catchers to Stream - Week 6 Waiver Wire

It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position.

[…]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 6

Going outside the world of fantasy baseball for a moment, can I just say how great it is to be able to go back to games this year? I've managed to get out to a Brewers and a White Sox game this month, I snagged my first ever live ball at a game (an Andres […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 6

There has been an injury trend that is hard to miss for the first month of the 2021 season. May has arrived and the injuries just keep piling up. There have been a lot of muscle/tendon sprains and strains to start the season. These injuries include oblique, groin, hamstring, and back injuries. Not all of […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 5/1 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

A profitable day last week with our two top picks both banking, but the Twins failed to win and help us bag a hat-trick too. News broke earlier this week that the Twins had only been able to take pre-game batting practice three times all season due to Covid issues. And it's no coincidence they […]

Garrett Cooper In Lineup Friday Against Nationals

Miami Marlins outfielder Garrett Cooper (foot) is in the lineup against the Nationals on Friday night, and will bat third against starting pitcher Jon Lester. Cooper exited Wednesday's game after fouling a pitch off his foot, and it appears the day off Thursday was enough to have him ready to play again. He's gotten off […]

Monte Harrison Called Up On Friday

Miami Marlins outfielder Monte Harrison was called up from the alternate training site on Friday. After Wednesday's game, the Marlins optioned starting pitcher Daniel Castano but did not announce the corresponding move until today. With outfielders Garrett Cooper (foot) and Corey Dickerson (groin) nursing injuries, the Marlins were in need of another player who could […]

The Big Picture - Fantasy > Reality

Reality doesn't always meet our expectations (not just talking baseball here). But in the fantasy world, we can make things play out however we want. A player is slumping? Cut or trade him and he's gone forever. Your favorite baseball team can't realistically pull that off midseason no matter how much you want Matt Carpenter […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 6 Waiver Wire

Another week gone by, and a lot went down in the AL bullpens while the NL bullpens mostly had a straightforward week. The Tigers and Reds bullpens are still their own messes. The Royals may have a new closer already. The Mariners may be moving to a new guy too. The Blue Jays bullpen might […]

Early Plate Discipline Improvers

Early season data is never very reliable. When you are still in the first month of the season, one game can have a big impact on a player's stat line in most categories. That makes it somewhat foolish to look at the data until you at least get a month or so of games out […]
