Tim Tawa sounds like an NFL QB, doesn’t he? “Steps back to pass, and the wide flank is janky, needs to look back inside, and the tight end is loose! Oh my God, he’s a loose tight end! Oh God, this is gorgeous! Please, blog, may I have some more?

Rolling In The Deep: Not Quite The Final Straw

Greetings friends! I’d say we’re right in the thick of the dog days of summer, as well as right in the thick of the dog days of the baseball season. I’m finding my thoughts wandering away from baseball more often than they usually do at this time of year, and I’m wondering if it has something to do with the potential impending lockout.

If you have read my articles in the past, you know my aversion to young pitchers. They are just so inconsistent that they can drive you nuts.

But you can’t build a great dynasty team by ignoring the young pitchers. Thankfully, there is a great young pitcher in Logan Henderson. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Yesterday, Braxton Ashcraft went 9 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 10 Ks in 85 pitches, ERA at 3.88. 64 of those 85 pitches were for strikes. From what I’m reading, he made some records. He was the first pitcher with 85 or fewer pitches to go nine innings and get 10 or more strikeouts. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Why do chicks like the long ball? Is a hot dog called a hot dog when it is no longer hot? If I run to first base after ball four, is it still considered a walk? These questions were troubling me as countless hours of meditation produced nothing, so I did what any normal human would do. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Alec Burleson is having the kind of season that can be easy to overlook or chalk up to just “good, not great.” The St. Louis Cardinals first baseman is hitting .287 with 19 home runs, 84 RBI (now that’s great! It’s a top-five mark in 2026), and an .836 OPS through 120 games, numbers that are certainly good but do not immediately jump off the page as elite power production.

Alex Bregman Cub Finds Nats’ Arms As Easy As 1-2-3

Wanna have a little laugh-a-rooski at my expense? Of course you do! For last week’s Buy/Sell, which is really a Buy/Drop (but trademark attorneys couldn’t secure it), I wrote to drop Alex Bregman, but then prior to publishing it, I thought, “Grey, you big lug! Please, blog, may I have some more?

Prospect News: Bateman Handles The Banana Stand or Zac Veen Vs Worms

grey@razzball.com (Grey Albright) — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 19:00:52 +0000

The Rockies recalled OF Zac Veen (24) and then sat him on the bench Tuesday against Arizona lefthander Mitch Bratt. I suppose they were right to duck him because Bratt spanked them for six innings. Veen should play regularly the rest of this season. That doesn’t mean he will, but he should, and if he does, he’ll provide speed and power with the potential to go nuclear in a head-to-head matchup late on the fantasy calendar. I don’t mean to overstate his impact, but there’s not many guys left roaming the wire who can match his maximum output.
