Summary
Take 10 with Tim – May 15, 2026 @ 9:15 – 45 minutes to an hour. 1.God help us, but Zebby Matthews looked great yesterday. It was the Marlins, but a line of 7.0 IP, 4 hits, 0 ER, 5K/1BB is pretty awesome. a.What are you doing about him? b.I’ve held onto him in a couple of Dynasty Leagues, but I think this is a sucker setup. 2.The kids are getting called nearly every day. a.On Tuesday, A.J.

Now, he hits the IL with an oblique issue. a.Let’s dig into his season to see if we can figure out what’s going on. 5.Robby Snelling – just brutal. He started one game, looked ok and now hits the IL with a left UCL sprain. That might explain this season’s poor control. a.I think it’s odd how many pitchers get the call and then seem to go out with an elbow issue. It almost makes you think they know there is a problem but don’t speak up until they get on the MLB roster. Yeah, I know this is all conspiracy stuff, but it happens a lot. 6.Max Fried hits the IL, and as of this writing, w…
