Kelder does have a first name but only his Mom uses it. He's been playing fantasy sports since before the internet had sites to do it. Not a member of any important organization but he thinks he's super funny! When not consuming baseball, he enjoys church coffee and food in larger quantities than his doctor would like.

Oh my gosh. When I went to Jay, our fearless leader, and had the idea to discuss rotations, I didn’t know there would be a 35% increase in injuries from last year, which seemed high anyway. There’s a new one every night and everyone has theories why. I am not nearly smart enough for a theory […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?SHere’s a math problem for you. Increased Pace + shortened training camp= more strains and sprains and tears. This is the under discussed part of the pace and space era of the NBA. Aside from teams shooting 3 pointers at an elevated rate (even if they don’t have 3 point shooters), the new metrics say […]

So THAT’S why Paolo Banchero stopped driving the other night and chucked up three pointers! If you missed it, Paolo Banchero, future first round fantasy pick and guy who hit a 50 burger earlier, will be evaluated in 4-6 weeks for a torn oblique muscle. Talk about a season going sideways, right? If you own […]

One theme this season is the amount of teams with 10 man or deeper rotations. Pace in the league is up. 3 pointers are flying. And all that running and shooting makes people more and more tired and also more and more injury prone. So there’s an inordinate amount in the early going of rotations […]

See, look guys, a theme! I can’t stress the importance enough of monitoring minutes. One thing I should mention, I won’t make notes about blowout games. Yes, I’m talking to you Golden State and Portland. Those minute distributions won’t be accurate. The rest though are gold. Pacers and Pistons: Andrew Nembhard hit 34 minutes, Bennedict […]

I’ve always enjoyed the USA Today and The Sporting News format of team by team notes. While that seems like a lot of work, so I won’t exactly do that every week, there will be a flood of new information in the next few weeks, information that can help. The information referenced here is the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I was in Durham, NC, doing an improvised trip as our mountain VRBO house was under the water in the western part of North Carolina. Obviously, the people in that area have much more pressing issues than a really random, unexpected, and first trade that Woj didn’t get to break before it happened. Let’s take […]

This is not meant here to be a comprehensive preview; there’s enough of those floating around to get lost in the noise. I’m hoping to do more of a news and notes weekly article for y’all. So in that spirit, here are just some guys who strike my fancy in a good or bad way. […]

Welcome back Razzball! It’s been a long summer, maybe you kept up with my corner infield report, maybe not. This is my third year writing for this esteemed site, and I couldn’t be more raring to go. Fully juvinated, if you will. I love the NBA and honestly, it’s a fun thing to write about […]

Partook in a mock draft last night. Well, honestly, I didn’t. I’m in the area that’s affected by that tropical storm in the Carolinas and the internet wasn’t working. When the email finally came through saying “Thanks for participating” I laughed and laughed. This team is completely the opposite of what I would have done! […]

Working in a school, I’ve noticed that the younger you are, the more value a band-aid has. I have no idea why. A Band-Aid is good for just a little cut. (I also don’t know if you are supposed to capitalize band-Aid so I will continue to be inconsistent with that) But give a small […]

Last article, I talked about guys that I’m just so over it with. It put me in such a bad mood that I couldn’t bear writing an article for an entire week. To cheer myself up, let’s talk about some fellas that I’m over the moon with after this season. My “must draft” list of […]
