Congrats to all of the Fantasy Baseball champions out there and THANK YOU so much to all those who supported
@FBTpod
this season. It's a grind but a blessing and honor to be able to do this. I do not take it for granted.
MLB official said they thought they had a “path to a deal” last night when they extended the deal but that the union has struck a different note today. The official further stated thru league would make one final best offer and hope for the best. Things Obvs have turned south.
Was just browsing July leaderboards and found this:
K-BB%: Ohtani, 37%
SIERA: Ohtani, 1.78
SwStr%: Ohtani, 19.5%
First in all three categories among qualified SP
Just recorded our final
@FBTpod
of the season. I realize it's late so some might not see this but I just want to thank everybody who watched or listened this year. 162 games is definitely a grind but
@CBSScottWhite
and
@CTowersCBS
made it fun and are two of the best to work with!
Sean Murphy career splits:
Oakland Coliseum- .213/.319/.368, 17 HR in 159 G
Everywhere else- .256/.334/.484, 29 HR in 166 G
Atlanta is 15th in HR park factors for RHB last three years. Oakland is 30th during that span. Big boost here for Murphy.
This is what's wrong with twitter. I can't even be excited to watch a prospect make his debut.
A. I never said Drew Thorpe was a "stud"
B. I'm sure I told people to pick up Jonny DeLuca in 5OF leagues earlier in the season. Have you seen the state of outfield?
C. Kick rocks
@Roto_Frank
Please Frank. Amazing how you think these tier 3 rookies are expected to be a stud. Are you the same guy who told us to pick up Johnny DeLuca?
Rejoice,
#Jets
fans....
Your team got it right.
Adam Gase is a smart hire who will take Sam Darnold to the next level.
A bright offensive mind. Terrific leader.

⚾️ Happy Opening Day! ⚾️
As first pitch is thrown out, I just want to sincerely thank everybody who listened, watched or interacted with
@FBTpod
this offseason. Shout out to my guys
@CBSScottWhite
and
@CTowersCBS
for all their hard work. Now the real fun begins... PLAY BALL!
So Zach Plesac fractured his thumb "aggressively" taking his shirt off. The ways baseball players get hurt remains the dumbest of all and its not close.
Full circle moment: I met
@scotteTheKing
a decade ago at the
@ToutWars
party at Foley’s. I was looking for a way to get into the Fantasy Baseball industry and Scott gave me that opportunity. Yesterday we drafted together in the same Tout league. Forever grateful!
@FBTpod
I'm really looking forward to giving FBT my full attention, and to spending the entire season geeking out on baseball with my buds
@Roto_Frank

@CBSScottWhite
. I think this will make our podcast better and help our audience and I can't wait to jump in. 2024 is gonna be fun!
A bittersweet Kokomo Friday tonight. I just want to echo the same sentiments as Chris. BIG THANKS to anybody who supports the pod, newsletter, articles, rankings and everything in between. We are privileged to talk about this fun little game that we all love so much.
Last Fantasy Baseball Today Podcast episode of the season is tonight, so I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who listens, watches, or reads what we do. We're lucky to get to do what we do, and we wouldn't be able to without your support, so thank you!
Josh Jung had three hits today and is now batting .342 with three homers and five doubles this spring. Even more notable is his 14.6% strikeout rate following the 38% he posted as a rookie.
What's even more impressive about Kadarius Toney's monster Week 5 game is that he only played 54% of the snaps and only ran 24 routes on 44 dropbacks 👀
Randomly tuned in to the Rangers-Astros and saw this at-bat with Wyatt Langford. All three of those strikes were called strikes. I was completely baffled while watching. Just awful stuff.
Thank you all for the kind words and your support! I’m SO EXCITED to announce I’ll be joining the best Fantasy Baseball podcast in the business,
@CBSFantasyBB

More of what to expect👇🏻
I can't tell you how many times we talk about a player on our Worry-O-Meter segment and then the very next day said player has a big game. Vinnie Pasquantino is on the board!
Jeffrey Springs pulled with a no-hitter intact. His final line:
6 IP 0 H 0 ER 1 BB 12 K, 13 swinging strikes on 81 pitches and looks as dominant as he did during spring training.
As a Fantasy analyst, you are going to get things wrong. It's just the nature of the beast. I cannot remember being as wrong about a player as I have on Elly De La Cruz so far this season.
He has FOUR (!!!) SB tonight and now has 30 in his first 44 games played this season...
Garrett Crochet struck out a career-high 13 tonight. It was his fifth start with double-digit strikeouts this season. His 116 strikeouts are tied with Tyler Glasnow for the most in baseball.
Last nine starts: 1.36 ERA, 0.76 WHIP, 76 K over 53 IP... 28 hits in 53 innings, unreal!
Per
@PFF
, Derek Carr threw deep passes (20+ yards downfield) on just 9.2% of his throws last season, 35th among 38 QBs with at least 15 deep attempts. However, his adjusted completion % on these throws was 49%, fifth best among those 38 QBs. The Raiders SHOULD be more aggressive.
I'm sure this is going to continue to happen but I just wanted to get out ahead of it now as the Fantasy Baseball season continues to ramp up. I'm also not trying to make this something bigger than it is but I just wanted to share a few thoughts.
🧵🧵🧵 (did I do that right?)
Edward Cabrera threw three more shutout innings tonight with 3 K to 0 BB. He threw 73% of his pitches for strikes and is now up to 70% through two starts. Last season Cabrera threw just 59% of his pitches for strikes. Small sample but this is what we need to see.
As a baseball fan, I'm hyped! Victor Scott should be added in any category leagues where you're in need of stolen bases.
As a Fantasy manager who dropped Scott in multiple leagues on Sunday, I am dead inside.
So this is pretty cool! As we’ve mentioned a few times on the pod, we're making the jump to TV! You can watch
@CBSScottWhite
,
@CTowersCBS
and me LIVE tomorrow at 2PM ET on
@CBSSportsNet
! You can also watch live on the CBS Sports app through your cable provider.
Congrats to everybody else who took home a Fantasy Baseball championship this year.
I spent nearly 30 minutes on the phone with
@IanKahn4
earlier and what I loved most about our convo was "nobody can take this away from you".
Give yourself a pat on the back!
