EP 175: Exclusive Patreon Unlock Monday-Thursday Lineup Pod
Welcome to the PullHitter Podcast, your destination for actionable resources and tools to grind your way to ultimate fantasy baseball success.
This is a free listen for this week only! I do two shows per week for the NFBC lineup period of Monday-Thursday and Friday-Sunday. With notes on playing time trends, injuries, call ups, opposing pitching handedness, platoons to be wary of. Focusing on the fringe decisions we need to make for 12 and 15 team leagues. Highly helpful to get a day or two ahead of your daily league mates. I answer lineup questions all day long in the Patreon Discord as well as other NFBC veterans. Cheers!

EP 174: THE Starting Pitching Pod w/ Matt Modica (Exclusive UNLOCK from Pull Hitter Patreon)
Welcome to the PullHitter Podcast, your destination for actionable resources and tools to grind your way to ultimate fantasy baseball success.
On this episode I am joined by my friend Matt Modica ( @ctmbaseball) as we go over every teams starting rotation in MLB--> WEEKLY
***From my Patreon Post:
" After consulting with Matty Modica, we decided to change the name of this pod to the starting pitcher pod. After highlighting 2-start SP's and fringe pitchers-- we usually get so excited to dive into as much as we can that we essentially cover almost every starting pitcher out there...and not if you should start them this week. We start there and end up talking rest of season projections, under the hood metrics, if you should target pitchers in FAAB for 15 and 12 team leagues and much more. Packed with details to help you set lineups and do FAAB. **This pod, which is usually reserved for the Meatball Parmigiana ($10/month) and Meatball Mafia Tier ($15/month) paying members, will be unlocked for the week for all patrons to hear- as well as for the public on my regular Pull Hitter Podcast Feed. I feel like this is one of the most valuable pods out there in the fantasy baseball market right now and we hope to bring in some new members into the Meatball family as well as some members who might want to upgrade to get this pod weekly into your ears. I will also be unlocking one of the lineup setting tools and a Hot Corner pod next week for the same reasons. Appreciate everyones support and grateful to have to as a part of my life for good now! Cheers!
