What's your pitching strategy going into H2H playoffs? I'm having trouble deciding if I should risk using a 2 starter...
Brad Johnson
4:31
frankly, I have a ridiculous approach to H2H. I don't recommend you mimic it
4:32
I drafted or kept Kershaw, Sale, Scherzer, Kluber, Carrasco, and Arrieta. Later snagged Morton and Godley
Spent nearly all of my budget on them
Ironically, all of my offensive money went to Story, Villar, and Matt Carpenter
It's still working (I'm 2nd)
4:33
Point being, I think the key to H2H victory is to amass silly amounts of SP
at least in the current run environment
Adam
4:33
Is there still a chance Barraclough gets saves for MIA, or did his DL stay (and Ziegler's performance since) dash that dream?
Brad Johnson
4:33
There's a chance
He's a solid stash
Dire Straits
4:33
How do you feel about Greg Holland's rocky stretch?  Is he no longer a premium option?
Brad Johnson
4:33
Correct
4:34
For my Saves and Steals column on Rotoworld, I've been warning about this all season
I was very reluctant to acknowledge how well he was pitching because a slump seemed so certain to happen
Isaac
4:34
Pham or Fowler ROS? Fowler for OBP leagues, right? Pham can't keep this BABIP up...
Brad Johnson
4:34
Gimme Fowler. He's working with a career low BABIP despite seemingly improved contact profile
4:35
Great buy low
Gabe
4:35
Trust Lamet to put up good K's and quality starts down the stretch?
Brad Johnson
4:35
Trust? Hell no. You'll probably get the Ks though
Bruce Bocce
4:35
Would you swap Hosmer (replacement is Morales) for Buxton and Stroman?
Brad Johnson
4:35
I'd swap him for Stroman
so yes, I'll take the bonus SB off the bench
E
4:36
Think we’ll see Ronald Acuna this year? And does he return value?
Brad Johnson
4:36
No
Despite his impressive rise through the minors, the Braves would be dumb to burn a 40-man spot on him before necessary
4:37
he's not Rule 5 eligible until after 2019
Mallex P. Keaton
4:37
Better keeper 1B next season: Ed Encarnacion in the 16th round (of 25) or Thames in the 22nd?
Brad Johnson
4:37
Thames
HoF shift
4:37
After today's aces retire, will hof voters start voting for the best of the 5-6 inning starters or simply focus on hitters?
Brad Johnson
4:37
I'm not convinced the shift will be this all consuming
4:38
We'll have more Lance McCullers types who leave it all out there for 5 or 6 frames, but we'll also have late career Corey Klubers pop up too
I'm 20 minutes behind on the questions, time to warp to present
Orange Whips
4:39
RHHHYYYSSS!!! 409 feet to dead effing center. I'm in love. He's an elite keeper, no? This doesn't smell like Thames or Shelton to me.
Brad Johnson
4:39
Don't sell Thames short
He's a quality slugger
As for Rhys, yes, he looks like vintage Bautista to me
with a dash of Votto for good measure
Patty V
4:40
Which Orioles OF do you want ROS: Trumbo or Jones?
Brad Johnson
4:40
I'd probably take Jones for the consistent production
