00:20 Welcome

01:00 Main Topic - What’s wrong with these teams?

01:47 These five teams have all ranked among the bottom-10 in OPS, runs scored and wRC+. Should we bench some of their hitters, because we don’t have time to wait for them to turn things around? And should we stream pitchers against them?

03:15 Mets

08:30 Rays

13:25 Cardinals

19:15 Nationals

23:30 Rangers

26:45 Chalkboard

27:45 News. Plenty of it today.

28:00 Jose Hader is getting tests done on his shoulder. Uh oh.

30:30 Cristian Javier earned a win in his return. Is he ready to join fantasy lineups?

32:10 Shane McClanahan is done for the season, proving once again that injury optimism is not your friend. Grayson Rodriguez also underwent elbow surgery.

33:10 Cole Ragans threw a bullpen session. He’s sitting on waivers in some leagues and could be back in early September. Worth a stash?

35:45 Chase Burns is facing an innings limit and the Reds are getting two starters back. Drop him?

38:50 Devin Williams pitched the sixth inning and is an easy drop. I’m interested to see if he gets a closer’s job in free agency.

41:00 Corbin Carroll set a career high in homers last night. He has really shifted his fantasy profile and may not steal 20 bases this year. He still has 98th percentile sprint speed.

43:20 The Tigers just won’t let us have a closer. Kyle Finnegan earned the win and Will Vest picked up the save.

44:30 Will Warren picked up a win. Take out a couple disasters, and he has been excellent this summer.

46:20 Kyle Schwarber homered. He’s second in HR and RBI. Sixth in runs. Has 10 steals. Will only be 32 next year. Why can’t he be a first round pick?
