Fun fact alert! Bryce Harper played 162 games in 2026 and tied Mike Trout in WAR... But it was less than Cleveland's "STARS" of Kwan, Rocchio, Delauter, and Jake Bauers (former).

Carter Jensen currently has a 3.7 WAR. For comparison, Salvador Perez's best season was 3.2 WAR (2013 and 2024).
Joe Carter watch alert! - Jo Adell is at 86 RBI and 0.3 WAR. Carter had 3 seasons of 100+ RBI and negative WAR. Including 1990 with 115 RBI and -2 WAR
Since I added Dansby Swanson in FAAB, he's batting .333 16 9 29 4 in only 57 AB. Some times it pays to be lucky than good.
The Guardian's offense is so bad right now, they are going with 4 catchers on the active roster and none of them were the opening day catcher.
Hoerner was like a top 10 fantasy player in April and since then he hasn't had a single positive week.
You won't find a first rounder at the top of the Player Rater until #18 Ohtani
3.4% SwStr% is his lowest of the year. He's actually #1 in botERA in MLB this year, but an all left handed lineup might say otherwise.
Cecconi has definitely corrected his season in the past few starts, but it's not from stuff improvement. As a Guardians fan, I'm liking the results, but worry if it's sustainable.
Is the key to beat Schlittler to only have left handed batters?
Swanson, Bogaerts, Turner, Seager, Bichette, Adames, and Story are all SS that signed huge free agent contracts and not a single one is even an average hitter this year.
Results weren't there, but stuff and SwStr% were excellent.
Big difference in fastball and changeup quality last night for the save.
Brandon Woodruff's fastball stuff+ by game: 113 117 107 115 93 47 👀
Just a reminder that the FanGraphs scoreboard has gotten a full makeover this year.
Can anyone guess which pitcher this is based on his stuff+ dropping?

Tanner Bibee's Sinker command was 78/80 in 3 ball counts. His 4 seam was 58 in 3 ball counts. Still really good, but not as dominant as his sinker.
Parker Messick was allergic to giving up walks with his fastball. He had a 90 command grade in 3 ball counts. That breaks the upper scale of 80 for PitchingBot command.
CJ Kayfus and Bo Naylor were the unsung heroes during Cleveland's 20-7 September.
Robbie Ray 2020 - 6.62 ERA Ray 2021 - 2.84 ERA Jesus Luzardo 2021 - 6.61 ERA 2022 - 3.32 ERA Yusei Kikuchi 2022 - 5.19 ERA 2023 - 3.86 ERA Carlos Rodon 2023 - 6.85 ERA 2024 - 3.96 ERA Trevor Rogers 2024 - 4.92 ERA 2025 - 1.81 ERA Sean Manaea 2025 - 5.64 ERA 2026 - ???
Oopsy's favorite hitter pick is Jo Adell. Easy pick in my DC draft.
