  • The Best in the Business

    Bubba is my favorite podcaster in the fantasy baseball space. He always brings on elite guests, brings forth important baseball content, and provides excellent analysis himself. He always says “I do it for the listeners” and he proves that by including listener questions and always being willing to engage with his audience. You know he’s legit when all of his live streams usually have other fantasy analysts in the chat listening to the podcast. This should be your first stop if you’re into fanta... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Benched with Bubba EP 861 - Week 13 FAAB Recap with Ben Tidd
Q: Are there significantly more stolen bases versus righties than lefties?
The hosts concluded that the difference is basically negligible, with only a small plate-appearance gap influencing steals by handedness, so managers should prioritize teams and matchups over simply handedness when targeting steals.
Benched with Bubba EP 862 - Fantasy Baseball Strategy with Todd Hoppe
Q: How are you handling fab to hold the lead?
He discusses staying aggressive yet cautious, keeping money in reserve to avoid zeros, using a mix of floor and upside bids, and prioritizing categories and matchups to maintain an edge.
Benched with Bubba EP 862 - Fantasy Baseball Strategy with Todd Hoppe
Q: How many teams did you roll with this year?
Hoppe explains he competed in multiple events (three main events, three OCs, and many DCs) and was generally aiming for a couple of strong contenders while balancing the rest.
Benched with Bubba EP 838 - SS Preview with Brandon Waddell
Q: How are you approaching the closing market these days in these 12 team leagues?
I avoid overspending on closers, prefer value in RP1 without paying third or second round prices, and I look for opportunities to grab effective, lower-cost closers later while still building a strong core elsewhere.
Benched with Bubba EP 834 - 2026 Colorado Rockies Preview with Matt Heckman
Q: How do you think the Rockies season went in 2025?
The season was challenging, and after a hopeful 2024, it went from not good to terrible.
