You're listening to This Week in Fantasy Baseball.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to this week in Fantasy Baseball.

I'm John Cud, joined as always by my co-host, Patrick Fitzgerald. We're going to cover the latest news and notes around baseball, recap, a few hitter and pitcher performances from the past week, and then, of course, wrap up with streaming recommendations at the end of the show. But before we get into all of that, Patrick, how are you doing? Hey, John, I'm doing pretty well.

I'm, you know, out here trying to weather the storm, the incessant storm of fantasy baseball

injuries that we all are. Scoobble down in a couple leagues, including my home league this week.

Seems like a decent prognosis, at least. So, you know, just hoping to treadwater while he's out. But yeah, it's been, it's been a bit of a minefield lately. So I'm just trying to, you know, make ads where I can and fill it on my AELs. That's for sure. How are you? I'm doing all right. My pitching staff last week was not very good in my home league i was like ahead nine to one and then all of

a sudden uh they just decided that um no we're not going to perform over the weekend i think all of

them i don't think i got a single quality start out of like the five pitchers that i put out there

they all like only went four or five nolan mclean i think you know you know, didn't do so hot.

Yeah, not not great.

Of course, McLean also got a start move this week, which is kind of annoying.

But yeah, I mean, I've been actually kind of getting the opposite of pitchers coming off I.L.

I had Tray Savage come back last week, Sunday Gray is coming back this week.

And that's led to some fun challenging decisions on what to do with the roster, whether it's,

you know, keep some of the fun young guys that I have or it's, you know, holding on to a guy like Sunny Gray coming off the, the, the IL.

So thankfully I left him on the aisle for this, this most recent start, although it was a pretty

decent one.

He did get a win.

But yeah, those are always kind of hard decisions to make whether you want to stick with the guys who have been performing for the last couple of weeks, or you want to go with, you know, a guy like Sunny Gray who's maybe a tiny bit more consistent or has maybe a little bit more of a track record. Yeah, I guess we did have

Iglesias camp with the aisle too

along with a couple other closes

We'll talk about in a little bit
