Open Bar Fantasy Baseball Podcast

Had a blast recording this episode @JustinMasonFWFB @StevePaulo and @RyanBHQ. We discussed all things fantasy baseball including fantasy baseball twitter investigating spin rates and substances used by pitchers and how or if that effects the fantasy baseball landscape. After bounce back outing by Luis Castillo and Blake Snell, the panel weighed in on whether or not they trust these two going forward. And then we did a ROS rest of season compare and contrast of similar players. Bryan Reynolds vs Avisail Garcia Nate Lowe vs CJ Cron Brandon Lowe vs Nick Solak Christain Yelich vs Austin Meadows Nathan Eovaldi vs Zach Eflin Adolis Garcia vs Jazz Chisolm Nick Pivetta vs Anthony Desclafani Then we wrapped up with 3 of 5! The segment that's left each fantasy questioning their fantasy baseball prowess!

We had @NateMarcum of @perfect1yframed podcast come on and straighten out the most volatile position of our beloved game, Relief Pitcher. Nate and I briefly touched on news and notes, TGFBI, and then dug in to find the closers and saves you need to win your fantasy baseball leagues. Is Josh Hader actually a closer in Milwaukee? Who in St Louis will be locking it down for the Cardinals? You'll find out in this relief pitcher preview.

Season 3! After a brief hiatus, we’re back and ready to dig in. This is the podcast where we....talked about ourselves, our hobbies and our COVID more than fantasy baseball. This is the podcast where we completely forgot Drew Smyly’s name. This is the podcast where we fumbled and stumbled but announced the arrival of Zach Eflin and Jordan Montgomery. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tambo/message

It's been a while since we sat down and talked fantasy baseball, but our very own @OpenBarBen is killin it in 2020 and it's for all the reasons we described in the offseason. In this podcast, we highlight players that we're heavily invested in to illustrate why we're doing so well. VICTORY LAPS, BABY! Who told ya about Ian Happ? WE DID! Who told ya about Luke Voit? WE DID! Who's heavily invested in Mike Yastrzemski? WE ARE! There's some method to the Open Bar Dudes madness and it's paying off in 2020.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tambo/message

Tired and weary from a long weekend of boozing and drafting, @openbarben and I got on the mics to discuss our first TGFBI FAAB period and our recent drafts. There were some very shocking bids as managers spend over half their allotted FAAB in the first week of play for ONE player in some instances!

Quite simply, this is as much fun as I've had doing a podcast. With a gameshow theme for points and a win, we navigated through the agreement of MLB and the players union of 60 games and followed up with the fantasy baseball relevance of a shortened season.

In this episode, one of the best in the business, Toby @batflipcrazy, sat down with us to discuss his famous Pocket Aces drafting strategy in regards to roster construction and risk aversion. We used his TGFBI squad to reference this strategy and how you adjust to the room during a draft. Later, we dove into the super sophomores Victor Robles, Vlad Jr, Cavan Biggio, and Garrett Hampson vs their ADP's. The fantasy baseball community believes, but I'm not so sure I do. Listen to us break down each player with arguments on both sides.  With baseball and fantasy baseball in disarray, we had a little fun thinking back to our most memorable player or team performances as fantasy baseball manager.  Follow Toby @batflipcrazy on twitter AND youtube and check out his podcast as well as his collaborative work at Batflip and Bubba.  Follow us on twitter @OpenBarDudes and @openbarben.
