The Pirates’ Josh Bell hits a three-run home run in the seventh inning against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium on May 12, 2019 in St. Louis.

After a week off, I check in with Jeff Erickson of Rotowire for our usual fantasy sports podcast.

Then we get into Chris Archer’s disappointing return and Arizona’s dominance of the Pirates all year long.

Jeff McNeil is a wonderful fantasy success story for the New York Mets. Also, owners of any and all Astros had a thrilling week.
