Garrett Crochet Got CRUSHED! 9 Hitters With Double Dongs! (4/14 Fantasy Baseball Podcast)

The Fantasy Baseball Today podcast tackles a chaotic Monday in MLB, highlighted by Garrett Crochet's disastrous start—10 earned runs in 1.2 innings, his first career start without a strikeout, and a noticeable drop in velocity. The hosts debate whether this performance should tank his first-round draft value, especially in rotisserie leagues, but ultimately conclude it's an isolated disaster that doesn't erase his elite upside. They emphasize the importance of context: Crochet’s spring struggles, mechanical concerns (including a 10-degree drop in arm angle), and a tough weather day in Minnesota. Despite the meltdown, the panel remains confident in his long-term value, calling it a 'buy low' opportunity. The episode also spotlights a record-breaking 9 hitters with two home runs in a single 10-game slate, celebrating standout performances from Aaron Judge, Mike Trout, Angel Martinez, and others. Injury updates, roster moves, and breakout candidates like Jeremiah Jackson and Dean Kramer are discussed, along with deep league pickups and strategic advice for managing weak starts and shaky rosters. The show closes with a fun 'Team Name Tuesday' segment themed around WrestleMania and Pokémon, blending humor with fantasy strategy.
