joining us next on the rhodal fantasy baseball podcast Hey everybody. Welcome to the RotaWire Fantasy Baseball podcast. I'm Jeff Erickson. I'm with Mike

Alexander from Razball. Our podcast is brought to you by the good folks at Underdog and at fan tracks. We thank them both. We'll be sharing how you can play on both of those platforms shortly. Every year, I talk points leagues. I talk best ball with Mike Alexander from Razball and Mike. Happy to have you on again. How's it going? Pretty good, Jeff. Thanks for having me. Yeah, no problem. No problem. Hey, it's time. I just, I just registered for Razlam to make sure I'm still in for that. I've been, you know, I get that invite him. Yes, I'm psyched. And then I got it like, like a dog chasing a squirrel. I got distracted and hadn't signed up. So I'm signed up now. But looking forward to that again this year. It is. Anybody who wants to sign up, you have a couple weeks left. So head over to razzball.com and check it out. Yeah. And so let's talk about Razzlam. It's a fun game. It's modeled after the NFFC's cut line contest, basically. It's a points league, which I don't do a whole lot of. I'm an old school rotisserie guy. I know that's not how a lot of people play the game, though. So it's like a hole in my game a little bit. And so I always make sure I do this and I try to do at least one other just so I can speak about it just a little bit. Yeah, like you said, it's getting more popular every year.

Underdog is in their second year of offering a best ball product as well at points.

So you kind of have to have two baseball brains, your points league brain and your roto brain.

Yep.

Yeah, that's right. So we're lucky for Razlam to be hosted over on the NFBC.

They do a great job for us applying their cutline product,

which is pretty close to a best ball.

The only thing that is worth really pointing out is you've got two fab periods,

one early season, one middle season, that you can make some moves.

You know, the NFBC's cut line leagues are 10 teams.

Ours are 12 in Raz slam, so that just completes the pool even further.

So, you know, you're not going to be fixing a lot of holes.

You know, it might just be your catchers out for the year and you just need that, that, you know, you had three or four. You need to get one more. That kind of thing. That you can fix. But, you know, the big prospects are getting drafted.

You know, every now and then a Spencer Strider pops up. But it's not, there's not a big a big impact from those fab periods right and

it's a little different than razz bowl where you have ten dollars a fab and you can go basically

the most you can get our 10 free agents yeah and you have fab every week uh at least to us to until

you get to the cut um So it's a little different.

Of course, football is a completely different universe.

You want to talk about picked over, though.
