Can do, but you don't have to
Dan

Is Matt Olson this ridiculous?  Like is any of this real?
Brad Johnson
4:36
Check the HR/FB rate
Or in other words, no
He's a good hitter though
JD15
4:36
Most Laughable moment is Tigers giving up JDM for nothing
Keith Hernandez
4:36
Re: Chirinos.  I love him too but have been hesitant to drop him for Welington Castillo.  Who do you like better ROS?
Brad Johnson
4:37
I think I'd stick with Chirinos. Although if both are available, it sounds like you could stream matchups
There are a lot of low ownership platoon bats at the C position right now
Lucas
4:37
Would you start Doug Fister for the Red Sox in the postseason?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Like if I was managing the actual Red Sox? No. Sale, Pom, Porcello
Unless I knew my opponent wrecked LHP
then I might flip Pom and Fister
YU

Start Newcomb this weekend against PHL?
Brad Johnson
4:38
Can do. He's always risky with his 5.00 BB/9
The old professor
4:38
Mike Minor a good saves grab for championship week?
Brad Johnson
4:39
Not sure good is the word I'd use
Lot of competition in that pen
Decent gamble

You guys can keep Olson.  I won the Bellinger/Hoskins sweepstakes.  As in I got both :)
Brad Johnson
4:39
Congrats. Strangely, Hoskins was rostered super early in all my leagues
like since 2015 in a couple of them
toki
4:40
Taillon just out of gas this season with all he's been through?
Brad Johnson
4:40
I think so
Makes it easier for us to buy for $1
El Duderudo
4:40
Looking for RBI from OF slot; Thames or Fowler? Neither are automatic starts for their respective teams and I've rostered them both at various points.
Brad Johnson
4:40
Assuming Fowler doesn't get another injury, he'll at least play 90%
Thames is playing less
4:41
which is probably the correct deployment to keep him fresher
Willie hears ya Willie dont care
4:41
Familia isn't gonna get any saves this year, is he? Should I drop?
Brad Johnson
4:41
Yes. He's terrible right now
Machado Man or Meh?
4:41
Is Machado reverting to his early season slump, or do expect him to shake it again sometime this week?  Bench him against Pomeranz if your next best option would be Devers @ Gausman?  H2H playoffs, so looking for the hot hand, not long term.
Brad Johnson
4:41
Machado is weird because his peripherals looked so good even when he was slumping
4:42
I accidentally deleted something
moving on...
4:43
I've actually reached the end of the queue. This never happens. If you're hanging around, we can actually banter a bit
toki
4:43
What do you see Dom Smith doing ROS?  Looks like he's finding his stride.
Brad Johnson
4:43
I'm not expecting much RoS, but it is nice to see him finish on a strong note. That's going to help his confidence heading into Spring Training, reducing the risk of him pressing and losing the job
4:44
That said, I've touched on how deep 1B is this year
Smith is very much at the bottom of the pile
