yeah it's beyond stupid that you can't start him as both a hitter and pitcher. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

[NOMAAA 1696]

This week has been just absurd across the board in every matchup.

[shadow_operative 15932]

my pitching the last two weeks has been

 

it's so pretty.

 

unfortunately, my offense during that time has been

 

BO bringing two weeks worth of offense to one matchup didn't help matters either.

What’s the league record for most solo homers in a week. I’m not going to do the research but I’m pretty sure 8/9 of mine so far have been solo. 

[NOMAAA 1696]

Did the research. Looks like 6/9. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

i need yall's advice. here's what my starting 2B has been up to:

PR7: -2.82

PR15: 0.84

PR30: -1.93

last 30 days: 26/123, .211 BA, .572 OPS, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 2 SB

 

should i drop him? 

[beer 3220]

I cant understand how, statistically, my team has 10 HR's over the last 7 days, yet I have managed to earn ZERO HR's in this week so far.  Someone is manipulating some shit somewhere, like a strike. Thanks Obama. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

look i need offense and i've got blake snell. i've already had one offer for snell that was close. if you need pitching help then holler at ya boy.

Don’t forget you have next week to do that as well. 

[NorthLoop 14190]

Oh yeah I forgot about that. They match me up with HG every single year for the all star week. 

[NOMAAA 1696]

Let’s do this. 

[NOMAAA 1696]

Long week is the worst. 

[NOMAAA 1696]

Nice win this week. Got a bit of a lead. You only have hank left. I got hank and Derka left. And people are still trading with Derka late in the season like we haven’t learned anything. 

Best of luck to all. 

[BigOrange1 6436]

asking now as there is still some time left in the season:

1 - we decided on a trade deadline, no?  if so, when is it?

2 - how many teams make the playoffs?

3 - what is the actual last week of the regular season?  the schedule has it as August 21-27, but my thinking is that might be the wild card week?

1. I don't remember the actual details but 3 weeks prior to the season ending makes sense, no? perhaps the actual MLB trade deadline?

2. 6 (2 division winners and the 4 best wild card teams by record)

3. 20 weeks. Week 21 (Aug 28-Sep 3) is the wild card round. Semifinals are Sept 4-Sept 17 and the championship is Sept 18-Oct 1.

-ok i went and skimmed the first 4-5 pages.  july 31st was agreed upon for the trade deadline, so that's that.

-it's always been 6 playoff teams.  two division winners get byes.  2nd place in each division get in.  next two best records get in after that.

-fawesome is correct (felt weird to type that).  aug 28th-sept 3rd is the wild card matchup.  there are six regular season matchups left, including the one that starts today.

let's gooooooooooo.

Edited July 17, 2023 by henrygandorf

[Fawesome 111]

ah yes, forgot about the runners up. so only two true wild card teams!

[BigOrange1 6436]

perfect - thank you both!

[henrygandorf 29189]

also the schedule really works out this season.

big-o, derka, and i are in a virtual 3-way tie for 1st place in the east, where the records have generally been shittier than the west.  which means if the season ended last night, by percentage points, i would be the 7 seed and miss the playoffs.

but i play both of them in the final 6 weeks, along with the disgusting brothers.  time to take ph down a peg.

[NorthLoop 14190]

HG have you ever missed the playoffs in this league? 

[Fawesome 111]

No and now is the perfect time to jinx it.

no, i don't believe so.  it's a weird year, but not sure it's that weird.

[NorthLoop 14190]

Don't catch too many Ranger games but put this one on since it's an early game. Fucking Gray and Adolis both get hurt. Maybe I should stop watching baseball. 

[NorthLoop 14190]

What's the record for worst batting avg in a week for a fantasy team? My team is saying "hold my beer". 

[NOMAAA 1696]

we have three sub .200 at the moment.

[Fawesome 111]

we have three sub .200 at the moment.

Perfect time for the playoff push!

[NOMAAA 1696]

[APMP 688]

17 HR and 42 RBI so far this week. Bastards finally woke up now that we in last place.

It’s always the ones you least suspect

[henrygandorf 29189]

5 weeks left and 9 teams are within 4-5 games of the playoffs.

also trade deadline is in a week.

[UTPhil2006 3807]

You can pry Altuve out of my cold dead hands 

[NOMAAA 1696]

Real barn burner to start the week in the west. 

[NOMAAA 1696]

How many games at a position does someone have to play before they’re eligible at it. 

[NorthLoop 14190]

for ESPN? Like 3 seasons
