Eddie Hustling Minnesota Bats

As oft-misheard lyric is, "Eddie, are you okay? Are you okay, Eddie?" For those millennials who are reading, misheard lyrics were lyrics you thought you were hearing in songs before you could just Google, "[song name] lyrics." For 25 years, people went around singing, "I can see clearly now Lorraine is gone," and were just happy to be rid of Lorraine! R.E.M.'s It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine) was just a chorus and four minutes of jumbled words, and that...sounded...fine! So, is Eddie Rosario okay, or is he just okay Eddie? Yesterday, Rosario went 2-for-5, 4 RBIs with his 17th homer as he hits over .400 in the last week. Some notes about Eddie: he's gone hitless in only two games in August; has five steals to go with the 17 homers; is hitting .303; has a .209 ISO which is tied for 56th in baseball; and now hits at the top of the order. He should be grabbed in all leagues, and, I'm moving close to him becoming my 2018's Max Kepler. *inhales deeply* Ah, the sweet smell of embarrassment. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
