Ray’s Ramblings: Are MLB Teams Tanking?
There’s the belief, in many circles, that owners are grubby, rich, miserly fellas like Scrooge. Some folks think owners, sitting in their ivory towers, are clinging to every last cent of their financial holdings without giving a passing thought to anything other than the bottom line. These people, those that hold owners in such low Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

The Closer Chart – July 11th, 2019
The 2019 season is underway and, predictably, it’s a disaster. Some teams seem to have no plan at all.

Selecting the Right Defense for Fantasy Football
There are two suggestions I have for anyone looking to make their fantasy football leagues more entertaining. The first one would be to add a Superflex position.

BURR 2019: Week 16
Bullpen Usage & Reliever Ratings, or BURR, is an idea that Flowers and Mans have been playing around with since the 2017 season.

Ray’s Ramblings: Mound Mavens, June 12th
Luzardo and Puk finally took the hill in a game that mattered. Bundy has cut the homers, and success has followed. Since his first pitch, Griffin Canning has looked like he belonged.

Identifying the Most and Least Consistent Fantasy Football Wide Recievers
Consistency in fantasy football is an important thing when it comes to roster construction.

Declining Stars
An age old question in fantasy football is… how do we determine when a player is declining in skill? A lot of research has been done over the years on this topic, to varying results.
