Episode 316: Main Event Victory Lap 59:11

1M ago59:11

59:11

We did it! In our very first try at the NFBC Main Event, we finished 121st out of 855 entries, which sounds mildly impressive at best. But more to the point, we won our league, completing a dramatic reversal of our early-season misfortunes (well documented in earlier episodes). After briefly patting ourselves on the back, we look at the 2024 season…

Episode 315: Reviewing 2024 Draft Strategy 1:05:30

2M ago1:05:30

1:05:30

Everyone is already drafting (whether mock or real) for 2025, but we at Flags decide to look back at the board from 2024 and ponder some questions about the first round, about what happened to the elite starting pitchers (spoiler: they were pretty good, Spencer Strider aside, womp womp), about whether drafting elite closers was a good choice, and w…

Episode 314: Trade Deadline Fallout 37:04

3M ago37:04

37:04

Since the last podcast, a lot has happened in the world. One of things that hasn't happened is the White Sox winning a single game. Today we avoid current events to discuss some fallout from the trade deadline, with quite a bit of attention to the closer landscape for the rest of the season. Also, we make some more general observations about a dead…

Episode 313: More Patience than Axl Rose 45:49

4M ago45:49

45:49

Hey, it's (just past) the middle of the season, so Mike and Jon talk a bit about how patience with slow starters and consistent FAABing have worked wonders for their suddenly-halfway-decent Main Event squad. Then we dive into Mike's midseason valuations, which you can find here: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/fantasy/article/92181/midseason-fan…

Episode 312: History Lesson (with Larry Schechter) 33:52

5M ago33:52

33:52

We have a conversation with Larry Schechter, fantasy legend and author of the new book, The History of Fantasy Sports. We talk about how the history of fantasy baseball is more complex than you might think, some of the people and personalities that led us to where the game is today, and where it might go in the future. You can find Larry's book at …

Episode 311: Midseason and Midlife Conversations (with Jeff Erickson) 54:32

5M ago54:32

54:32

Mike and Jon welcome Rotowire's Jeff Erickson for a free-range conversation centering on our midseason process, specifically as it relates to player evaluation, the timing of cuts and adds, roster management, FAAB strategy, and how we balance our time spent on baseball with, you know, living our lives. We start off with a little DadCast(tm) convers…

1
Episode 310: Valuing Players At The End of May 58:49

5M ago58:49

58:49

Mike and Jon talk about the tragicomic Mets, the utility of rolling three-week samples, not holding too tightly to fast starters who slow down, and then we conclude with a little game where we discuss players whose rest-of-season value has changed the most, for better or worse. Sorry, Bo Bichette. Flags Fly Forever is a Baseball Prospectus podcast.…

Episode 309: Talking about Texts about Baseball 52:33

6M ago52:33

52:33

What to talk about as the MLB season rounds the first-month post? Well, Mike and Jon text regularly about many things--and a good portion of those are baseball-related. So we looked at a few text exchanges we've had over the last couple of weeks and continued the conversation "in person," as it were. Topics included: - how can we "plant flags" for …

Episode 308: Three Men in Action Park (with Grey Albright) 1:04:26

7M ago1:04:26

1:04:26

We kick the ass of April doldrums with the help of our Very Special Guest, the one and only Grey Albright of Razzball and ostentatious eyewear fame. After some desultory baseball discussion we talk about New Jersey's favorite defunct libertarian tourist attraction and torture park--I speak, of course, of Action Park! (If you want to know more about…

Episode 307: The Cruelest Month 37:23

7M ago37:23

37:23

We're getting all T.S. Eliot on you, because for us, and for fantasy basebal content, April is kind of a dead zone. Rather than overreact to fast and slow starts, we discuss some process points in evaluating your early-season roster and negotiating FAAB at this time of year. We do this through the lens of our own underperforming Main Event team (at…

Episode 306: The Gang Does A Main Event 1:04:45

7M ago1:04:45

1:04:45

Hey, it's actual baseball season! After the whirlwind of positional previews and draft discussion, we put a cap on the 2024 draft season by discussing the NFBC Main Event team that Mike and Jon drafted. It was the first time either of us had participated in a Main Event, and we talk about our decision to ante up, our overall strategy, our focused s…

Episode 305: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Auctions (But Were Afraid to Ask) 59:53

8M ago59:53

59:53

We take the occasion of the recent Tout Wars auction weekend to do a deep dive on auctions--what we prefer, how we prepare, and some strategies and advice for those new to the format. We love auctions! In this episode we discuss: Why in-person auctions are so fun and rewarding How preparation and strategy are different than a draft Why you should h…

Episode 304: Tout Mixed Review + SP Strategy + Using Bid Limits 1:07:28

8M ago1:07:28

1:07:28

Bit of a mixed bag this week: We review Mike's Tout Wars Mixed League draft from earlier in the week. (You can see the draft board here: https://www.fantrax.com/fantasy/league/1ojcq64zltc8i9la/draft-results) We talk (again) about your strategy for drafting starting pitchers, and why Mike generally avoids the "blob" of mid-tier starters. We also int…

Episode 303: Outfield Positional Preview 1:03:38

9M ago1:03:38

1:03:38

We talk outfielders this week, and given the size of the position, we did more of a strategy overview than deep dives on indivdual players. It's an interesting year at the position--great, five-category options up top but a fairly long tail of useful players deep into the 200s, and beyond. Flags Fly Forever is a Baseball Prospectus podcast. For mor…

Episode 302: Reviewing the LABR Mixed Draft 1:02:59

9M ago1:02:59

1:02:59

We step away from our positional previews to discuss the LABR Mixed League draft, which Mike took part in on Tuesday, February 20. We talk about the difference between stand-alone leagues and larger multi-league competitions, strategies for the first four rounds, how to respond to early spring training injury news, building drafts around your start…

There's an amount of baseball on this episode that should probably be described as "surprising." In what direction is up to you, the listener, to discover. We start with a game based around the revolving door of mediocrity that is the Los Angeles Angels. We live watch the Alex Cobb almost near no hitter (spoiler alert even though it was 3 days ago?…
