    Episode 311: Midseason and Midlife Conversations (with Jeff Erickson)
    Jun 14 2024
    Mike and Jon welcome Rotowire's Jeff Erickson for a free-range conversation centering on our midseason process, specifically as it relates to player evaluation, the timing of cuts and adds, roster management, FAAB strategy, and how we balance our time spent on baseball with, you know, living our lives.

    We start off with a little DadCast(tm) conversation before getting down to baseball stuff.

    You can find Jeff's work at www.rotowire.com, on many Rotowire podcasts, and on the Sirius/XM Fantasy channel.

    Episode 310: Valuing Players At The End of May
    May 31 2024
    Mike and Jon talk about the tragicomic Mets, the utility of rolling three-week samples, not holding too tightly to fast starters who slow down, and then we conclude with a little game where we discuss players whose rest-of-season value has changed the most, for better or worse. Sorry, Bo Bichette.

    Episode 309: Talking about Texts about Baseball
    May 10 2024
    What to talk about as the MLB season rounds the first-month post? Well, Mike and Jon text regularly about many things--and a good portion of those are baseball-related. So we looked at a few text exchanges we've had over the last couple of weeks and continued the conversation "in person," as it were.

    Topics included:

    - how can we "plant flags" for early-round players that we value when we are inundated by the groupthink of ADP? (or, should Zack Wheeler have been a first-round pick?)

    - why does the three-week sample at the beginning of the season hold sway over our minds and player evalutions long after those hot or cold starts have ended? (or, why do you still feel bad about Francisco Lindor when you should feel bad about Matt Olson?)

    - it's a wacky ERA leaderboard! Is this small-sample nonsense or is the SP landscape changing?

    It's a freewheeling grab-bag of a conversation, hope you enjoy!
