Not sure I’m going to make the draft time, so my team will definitely suck if not. To your point though, it will most likely suck either way. I haven’t looked at anything to this point, so I’m going to wing it as usual.

That just means you're guaranteed to beat me.

Yes, haven't been able to find a 10th

[castolon 193]

I'm going to be watching many more east coast games than I'm okay with. 

[Scraps 13,562]

I don't even know what I just did.  

 

Apparently I think the Indians staff is the mid 90s Braves.

Let the NL East Take the wheel I guess 

[Brew 3,049]

COVID and rain are going to keep this interesting.

[Scraps 13,562]

My team off to a scorching 3/20 start.  

[castolon 193]

Fuck the nl East amiright?

[Scraps 13,562]

Is the goal to this to have a team that gets hits?

[castolon 193]

I'm not even entirely sure the goal is to have anyone play at all. I'm look at you washington

[Scraps 13,562]

Ok i had a guy hit 3 homers tonight so i guess i will shut up for now

[VolenteHawk 495]

Tatis might be dead. Reports are unclear. I can’t imagine that’s great for me.

[Brew 3,049]

JD Martinez is showing out.

[Capn81 373]

He has been crushing the ball.

[castolon 193]

I’m not talking shit to brew ever again. That is all

I don’t think it will ever hold up for the full season, but I was curious how going P/P and then best available from there on out would work.

[Scraps 13,562]

Each night i look at my stats my team is like 3/38

That cannot be good lol

[Brew 3,049]

I hate 5 IP, 1 ER games.

[Henry Hill 3,156]

I enjoy HRs on the bench. Fuck.

[castolon 193]

I hate baseball. 

[Scraps 13,562]

Nice outing dickbag...i mean Plesac

GFY

Speaking of bench spots, I could use a couple more. This is getting ridiculous.

[Capn81 373]

5/13 with 4 HRs and 8 RBIs so far today. Where has this been?

*Thanks for carrying my team Acuna.

[Scraps 13,562]

Holy shit....now Corbin with so far 2 inning 9ER outing and they are letting him bat and leaving him in.

My team is a dumpster fire of epic proportions


They pulled him after he hit thank god

That is some rough stuff.

[castolon 193]

Justin turner is a freak and gives me hope until he ends up on the DL sometime in the next day or so.

[Scraps 13,562]

already mentioned two of these but for the past 3 days I have had this amazing starting pitching happen:

 

4/13 -  Max Fried  4IP 7ER -  strained hamstring running bases

4/14 - Plesac 2/3 of an inning 6ER

4/15 - Corbin 2IP 9ER

4/16 - Steven Matz we are counting on you do not let us down.  I need at least 6ER over 2 innings bitch 

[Scraps 13,562]

Let me not leave out my outstanding hitting so far either though.  As of today my team would rank 27th in MLB of team OPS.  The person above me in the standings would rank 5th.  That means every other team in this league has a top 5 OPS compared to real teams in the league.  I have the fucking 27th......jesus christ lmao 

[Doc Sam Beckett 5,793]

Any manager in our league could have rolled off the couch and smacked a stand up double against *checks notes* my ace Giolito. Thanks for making it one inning Luke 

[Brew 3,049]

3 of my top 8 draft picks are on IL with 1 of the other 5 being Gleybar who sucks balls this year and would be better served on IL. Another DTD popped up today, I could really use a few more bench spots. This short bench makes it difficult to make adjustments.

[Scraps 13,562]

I feel your pain....I have had 5 guys out for almost a week now and just dropped the 6th and the 7th just came off the IR a couple days ago (Tim Anderson) lol.

[Brew 3,049]

Pulling up the scoreboard and seeing the Cubs have 11 runs through 6 and then checking the stats to see Contreras is 0-3 with 2 K’s is rather disappointing.

[Scraps 13,562]

well he hit a 3 run homer greedy bastard lol

Just would have been ridiculous to not end up with anything out of that game. Jacob Degrom has opened up this year nasty. 50 k’s through 4 games and 1 ER.

good thing this isnt a wins league

@shadow_operative

[Brew 3,049]

Anyone want to shoot me a first rounder for a couple undrafted guys? I may even throw in Gleybar for the right one.

[txhorns 2,409]

All of my guys are injured.  I'm running an infirmary over here, not a fantasy baseball team.

[Doc Sam Beckett 5,793]

Dammit is there any way to reverse a dropped player? I dropped the wrong dude 

[Doc Sam Beckett 5,793]

Thanks txhorns

[HRSchenker 2,271]

Why the FUCK did Yahoo Baseball leagues move towards a waiver free agency period? I can't pick up players same day anymore? WHAT THE FUCK

[txhorns 2,409]

This season just sucks for me.  Bellinger out since the first week.  Then Seager goes down for 6 weeks at least and now Trout is out for at least 4 weeks.  That doesn't count the multiple other players on my roster who have spent time on the DL.

[Capn81 373]

Brutal TX

[shadow_operative 15,932]

y'all need a lesson in sending counter offers. especially the teams at the bottom of the standings. i mean it's cool with me if y'all want to just hover around 30-40-something points; i just figured y'all might want to make a change, being that you're all hovering around 30-40-something points. just a thought. 

[shadow_operative 15,932]

also, several of the offers that have been rejected were straight up losses for my/hg's team, and straight up wins for the team that rejected the offer. our SP staff is stupid loaded and deep as hell. we can afford to "lose" a trade (player for player) so long as it helps us in the categories we're lacking in. trading a good/great closer for a good/great starter is generally a win for the team receiving the SP, for obvious reasons. if you have a closer you're willing to move, then hg and i have an SP that we're willing to give you. but again, that's only you have the desire to not finish the season on 43 points. if that's what you want then by all means, sit pat.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my cha cha slide from tied for 1st to dropping 10 points in a week and questioning the meaning of life.

Derka is co-managing HG’s team, so many pieces of the puzzle come together after keeping an eye on the TB thread over the years.

I do take exception with your contention that your starting pitching is stupid loaded, it’s not. You’re just churning also rans that are off to a good start which is evidenced by your WHIP/ERA place and the fact that you only lead K’s and are 2nd in QS because you are running so many starters. Hopefully, the shitty ones you drafted haven’t dug too deep a hole for you to climb out of, since you will cap out in August and then start to back slide based on your 48% QS ratio. I am curious, how many original draft picks do you have left at this point?
