Albies now 1/2 with an RBI and a steal, his third steal in less than 4 games back. ho hum.

Edited September 12, 2020 by shadow_operative

[shadow_operative 15932]

Daily Albies update: 1/3, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1.833 OPS. 

Since his return:

8/22 (.364), 2 HR, 7 R, 5 RBI, 3 SB, not 100% sure what his OPS but it's definitely somewhere around 1.100+
 

".159 Ozzie Albies." that might be my team name next year.

Albies 0/1 for a dismal .247 BA so far 

[shadow_operative 15932]

two bombs tonight. he's raised his average nearly 100 points since your ".159 Ozzie Albies" remark which was what, two weeks ago? is that good? 

[Fawesome 111]

Can’t wait for Albies to be the deciding factor this final week.

0/13 slide will probably do that 

[shadow_operative 15932]

hey, NL: stop it.

Yeah what the hell was that bullshit

[NorthLoop 14190]

7 home runs and only 7 RBI's. That's what that shit was.

Big ups to me #1 homeboy Derks over here for taking pity on me and finally trading me Whit Merrifield, who I've been trying to get all season.  

[shadow_operative 15932]

i couldn't say no to my boy Kyle coming back home where he belongs. 

[huge 3793]

As opposed to seasons past where I had a competitive team only to choke mightily right at the end this year was a welcome respite.

Chokers all of them from beginning to end.

[shadow_operative 15932]

was just checking out the PR15 for funsies, and look what I saw:



I have three of the top 8 2B, including Ozzie Albies checking into at 11.20, tied for second best. Neato!

Then I decided to go check out the SP, and you'll never guess what I found:



I have four of the top 9! and that doesn't include #3 Kyle Hendricks (joining my team tomorrow) or #4 Trevor Bauer (just traded him away a week ago). How cool! But what I couldn't figure out was the omission of the greatest pitcher in baseball, Zack Grienke. I mean surely his PR15 was somewhere around it's normal 25.00, right? well, i kept scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and FINALLY i saw him!



he was all the way down at #87. but how could this be I asked myself? Zack Grienke makes Pedro Martinez look like Hideki Irabu, while Ozzie Albies makes Freddy Galvis look like Rod Carew. HOW CAN THIS BE???

Albies going 0/5 today

[shadow_operative 15932]

2/2 with a bomb so far 😂 

[shadow_operative 15932]

@UTPhil2006 here's the deal- next year you spend all season publicly trashing all of my players; they thrive, my team wins the league, and we split the profits. you in?

Ha was just about to say I’m the perfect anti jinx for you 

[Fawesome 111]

Better idea. Stop anti jinxing Albies fucko. My lead is melting away

[NOMAAA 1696]

man ozzie albies is on a tear. 

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Yeah but Grienke is gonna throw a 27 K perfect game tonight

[Fawesome 111]

DERKA STOP HITTING HOMERUNS. OR SINGLES. OR ANYTHING

[shadow_operative 15932]

 

[UTPhil2006 3807]

You’re up 17

[shadow_operative 15932]

yeah ain't nobody catching you fawesome. still, you should probably bench all your players from here on out just to make it interesting.

my team is ice cold and i could drop in a lot of categories over the next 4 days. it aint over by any means. especially with how hot derka's team is. me dropping plus him moving up the AVG and OPS categories is a recipe for an upset. ive done the math!

[shadow_operative 15932]

also i traded for a bunch of closers, so i'm hoping that at some point that will start paying off. i've gotten like 6 saves in the last week and haven't moved up the saves board at all. hopefully once i pass one guy, the rest are right behind.

[Fawesome 111]

Derka has 4 innings pitched today and two wins and a save. cool cool cool cool cool .

[shadow_operative 15932]

i've also has five starters get injured in the last two days. this season is wrapping up right on time.

how about $350/$150/$50 to make payment easier.

fawesome is going to win the title. congrats. your team has been dominant all season, and you pretty much ran through the league from beginning to end. 2020, amirite?

assuming i don't drop 17 points tomorrow, i am going to finish in second. bully for me. i'd like to thank UTPhil and his amazing reverse jinx powers. Ozzie Albies ftw.

either BO or NL will finish third, and will win the prize of not having to pay anybody. like my grandad used to say, "it's better than a kick."

now then, if fawesome doesn't mind, i'd like to take money from HG, Phil, and whatever the fuck hitby calls himself now, because we're special friends like that. those three can pay me, and the rest of the jabronis in this league can pay fawesome, and this blood soaked, nightmarish hellscape of a season can finally be put to rest. everyone cool with that?

Still lots of baseball left. It ain’t over til Benji Molina sings.

That said, you gotta pick 2 of the 3 people mentioned if you finish 2nd. 6 people will pay 1st place. 2 will pay 2nd. And 3rd keeps his buyin.

Or you can still have 3 people pay you. You’ll just have to send your buyin to the 1st place winner.

Good luck tomorrow, gents! It’s been quite a ride.

[shadow_operative 15932]

then i'll take HG and Phil, since hitbygailthesnail'scamacho is a fellow Arsenal fan. that is, assuming i don't blow a 17 point lead in one day.
