There are few things worse than your favorite late-round picks heating up after you drafted them and held through early cold streaks. Carson Benge and Dominic Canzone are two examples from this season that are grinding my gears.
Canzone actually started the season with two HR on Opening Day, then proceeded to hit just two from March 27 to May 24! Please, blog, may I have some more?

6/23/26 2:00 AM - MLB Commish: Giants botched Pride Night cap guidance, leaving players unclear on opt-out.

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley expressed concern over the warning to players, calling it "dubious" and arguing MLB promotes a political viewpoint with Pride-themed uniforms. Manfred responded that the league's policy allows exemptions for Pride emblems and players can opt out. Manfred said the Giants' communication was inadequate, but players face no penalties or fines.

6/22/26 11:01 AM - Zen And The Art Of Fantasy Baseball: Getting Out Of My Own Way – Or, Why I’m Picking Up Matt Shaw Everywhere. A third reasonable question might be, “Is the player currently performing?” Baseball is a game of streaks, so it shouldn’t be a disqualifier if a player is currently underperforming, but the fact is Shaw is doing exactly the types of things we’d like to see a FAB pickup do. In the six games (including five started games) he’s appeared in since June 13th, Shaw has 25 PA and is 7 of 22 (.318 BA) with 2 triples, 1 HR, 6 R, 7 RBI, 2 BB, and 1 HBP while maintaining an 8% BB% with only a 20% K%. Obviously, the sample is small, but in fantasy, quick decisions have to be made, leading us as fantasy managers to need to react to small samples.

6/22/26 10:00 AM - Shohei Ohtani has been brilliant on the mound this year, but he's still a long shot for the Cy Young. Shohei Ohtani has won four MVPs, and now he’s making an impressive bid for an honor that has thus far eluded the two-way star: the Cy Young Award. Problem is, the competition in the National League might be a little too stiff this year. Ohtani is 7-2 with a 1.47 ERA so far this season for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Still, he remains a long shot for the Cy Young according to oddsmakers. Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski is the favorite, and Philadelphia’s Cristopher Sánchez isn’t far removed from throwing 50 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings.
