H&J 156 - No Longer Lonely at the Top
This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett talk through news and notes from around the league, hitters who have climbed Scott's ranks and those who have fallen in the list as well. The top tier of the list has been reserved for just two names for the majority of the past two seasons: Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge. Now, with Judge on the IL, and a couple of superstars breaking out, that tier has expanded. James Wood and Yordan Alvarez have jumped aboard and show no sign of going away! The guys talk about some bats that are still hovering around the top-50 in player rater rankings but have been downright bad the past two months. Cut bait quick before you lose all you gained early in the year!

H&J 153 - A New Vargas Rule
This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett talk through news and notes from around the league, hitters who have climbed Scott's ranks and those who have fallen in the list as well. Remember the Vargas Rule of yesteryear? "It’s a rule that’s applied when a pitcher who is historically not so great is performing at a high level we didn’t expect. You keep starting him until he gives us a reason not to, inspired by Jason Vargas‘ ridiculous start to the 2017 season." Welp, now it applies to hitters, and it's named after Miguel Vargas. He's climbed his way to being a top-20 hitter in Scott's ranks, and he hasn't given us a reason NOT to leave him there. Scott talks about NL Central sluggers Alec Burleson and Seiya Suzuki and touches on one of the trending rookie bats in Colorado – do we stream Cole Carrigg? On the flip side, the pair laments their disappointment in big-name middle infielders, Trea Turner and Nico Hoerner. All that and more in this episode of Hacks & Jacks!

H&J 150 - Walker Keeps Rising
This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett discuss all the injury and call-up transactions around the league, including whether any of the most recent prospects could have fantasy value or if they're all just names in the wash.

H&J 149 - No Tater Tatis

The crew goes on to discuss what in the world to do with the homer-less Fernando Tatis Jr. Can you hold him or should you be looking to trade for another slumping superstar instead?
