Description
Fantasy Baseball Live! – April 5, 2026 @ 3 pm
Segments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend games
Additional Notes:
1.Mookie Betts with an oblique and Hunter Brown with a shoulder?
a.Who are the pickups?
2.What happened to Cristian Javier, or was he always overrated? He’s a flyball pitcher with a 92-93 mph fastball. While he had a great season in 2022, he wasn’t good prior to TJS and has been really inconsistent since.
a.Is he somebody who can bounce back?
3.When do we start to worry about Nick Kurtz? Prior to Saturday’s game, he’s one for 21 with 13 strikeouts in 26 plate appearances. Most of his games have been on the road. It’ll be interesting to see if things change now that the A’s are home. Last season, he posted the same batting average, but made better contact at home with a lot more power.
4.Jordan Lawlar has a fractured wrist and will miss the next 6 to 8 weeks. The guy just can’t catch a break. Thoughts on who gets his at-bats?
a.Also, I’m wondering what happens with Gurriel's return. Will Lawlar still have a job?
5.Eury Perez couldn’t find the plate against the Yankees. It could have been a lot worse than 4 ERs in 4 innings. Any worries?
6.Don’t look now, but Jordan Walker is hitting .296 with two home runs over the first 8 games. It’s clearly a small sample size, but at least it’s a nice start to the season.
7.Tatsuya Imai – Great call by us as he dominated the As in Sacramento. He still walked three though.
