Matchup 7 of the 2025 RtG Baseball season is done, and with that we are one third of the way through the regular season! It’s time for the RtG coaches to get to work, and so Coach Viraj joins us to talk all things managers. What can fantasy managers do to set themselves apart from their competition other than just sorting the Free Agents list by most points? We also talk through the theoretical way a fantasy manager should approach trying to make a trade. After that we move into our IRL baseball segment to chat about whether the recent manager firings were justified; we try to figure out how managers should be evaluated, and what even makes a good manager.
