2291 - Waiver Wire and End of Season Talk

Fantasy Baseball Live – September 15, 2024 – time to be determined
Segments 1 and 2 – Review of weekend games
Additional Questions:
1.What’s up with Gerrit Cole intentionally walking Rafael Devers in the first and then when he faced him next, he intentionally walked him with nobody on base. I know Devers has owned him, but his walked led to four runs.
2.Keider Montero had a shutout earlier this week and then shutout the Orioles for six innings today. Thoughts?
3.Heston Kjerstad is back. Does he get enough at-bats to help fantasy managers?
4.Ben Joyce hits the IL with a shoulder injury. Who would have thunk it?
5.Tyler Glasnow is also out with an elbow strain for the rest of the season. He did beat his 120-innings high watermark, but barely. He’s just a tough “own” for fantasy managers.
6.Carlos Correa is back for the Twins
7.Justin Verlander has not been good since returning from the IL, posting a 5.20 ERA. He did have a good outing last night against the hapless Angels. The arsenal is not what it used to be. His fastball is averaging 93.5 MPH, and his secondary pitches are still good, but nothing looks elite anymore (20-ish whiff rate).
a.Is he a sit now?
b.Should he be avoided next season?
8.The Dodgers are saying that Shohei Ohtani might pitch in the playoffs. This seems like a bad idea to me. Your thoughts.
