fuck fuck fuck
jsut made a huge blockbuster trade deadline deal
desmond, davis and tigers pitching staff out (hard to explain)
jupton, granderson, harper in
15 minutes later
harper leaves the game
possibly oblique injury
UUUUGGGGHHHHH

ok two days ok ok ok calm down will

with grandy off the dl and heyward hitting better, i had a v packed OF -- those 2 + bautista, rios, de aza and aoki for four spots. and ben zobies can move over in a pinch. so i just traded rios for aj burnett w/a dude with a whole lot of pitching desperate for a OF. sort of surprised he jumped on it so quickly, sort of worried abt burnett being a million yrs old

I worry about Heyward.

Like, constantly.

AHAHAHA

BAUTISTA AND HEYWARD TO THE DL ON CONSECUTIVE DAYS

FUCK MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Heyward was just starting to pick things up too :(

bautista
heyward
beachy
colon
now harvey!

i am SINKING INTO HELL
FUUUUUUUUCK MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

yeah i am in a 4 yr cycle in my h2h league of - win the league, miss the playoffs, win the league, now probably going to miss the playoffs :[

oh well, @ least that bodes well for nxt yr

I'm overthinknig this so much. In the finals vs. a guy I really don't want to win my other glorping league. Starting to overthink this.

7/9 of my starters are decided -- the rest of my team is "stacked" on paper but seriously having my doubts. I'm starting Trout and Harper in the OF (big trade last year & this year to get them in a keeper league, awwww yeeeeah), but I need to start another OF and another U. Who would you pick from this list?

Swisher (hot), Jupton (not so much + lots of righties), Granderson (cold), Butler (hmmmmm), Kemp (ugh), Ellsbury (injured until at least Wednesday). Rosters get locked tonight for the week, btw.

Any thoughts?

You have Trout, Harper, Granderson, Butler, Kemp, and Ellsbury on the same team? Jeez.

It's a super shallow 8 team league, and I made a massive trade near the deadline shipping out my late round goldmine Chris Davis (along with the Tigers pitching staff and Ian Desmond) getting Grandy, Jupton and Harper back. It was a pretty lopsided pull but the other guy was out of the running and wanted a keeper for next year who'd give him a big advantage (Davis over Jupton or Harper or Grandy makes sense).

Year before I traded the same guy Fielder and got Trout. Which at the time might have looked like kind of an over-pay... that one worked out. :) The others -- Kemp, keeper; Ellsbury, fell realllly far in the draft for some reason; Butler, mid-round pick that hasn't really been good enough for my starting nine (did I mention I jumped super early on Goldschmidt, too?)

fucking fuck

at the very end of the very last games played today, every single thing went wrong to prevent me from taking third place and $125

-tulo walks instead of making an out
-venable gets a useless hit, giving denorfia one last chance to make an out, which he does
-pence gets the walkoff, preventing sandoval from giving me one last chance to get a hit and tie BA
-rex fucking brothers loads the bases in the bottom of the ninth with a 1-run lead and fails to fucking continue failing
-ron fucking washington decides to continue abusing his elderly pitchers and goes with nathan for the bottom of the ninth after using him the previous 3 days, rather than letting the young, virile scheppers get the two-inning save

and none of this would've been a problem if it weren't for PEDRO FUCKING STROP, EX-ORIOLE BENT ON REVENGE AGAINST ME PERSONALLY, giving up a useless run to STL, ensuring that there wouldn't be a save opportunity for trevor rosenthal.

JUST ONE of these things happening/not happening is the difference between nothing and $125. I NEED $125

shld mention, this was a two week matchup, and this is what our final batting averages looked like:

me: 148/539
him: 148/538

if i had tied it would've given me the win

I was just one home run away from $160 yesterday

I was down by 40 points (a huge amount) and in the last day managed to pull back to tied (unreal) and Beltre hit a homer, and Goldschmidt didn't

fml

at least when it wasn't close my hopes weren't up

lol nvm apparently i won

just offered yu and scherzer for trout. it's a league with a whopping three (3) keepers that get recycled every three (3) years, so what's the fucking point anyway, i just really want cabrera and trout on my team together

i led my roto league by like 30 points for almost the entire season and in the last week someone overtook me and pushed me to 2nd place by like 2 points

not ready this year. i might just not prepare at all, maybe that'll be smart. who knows. i'm looking at mockdraftcentral's averages and i just have no idea anymore. apparently hunter pence deserves to go in the low 20s? apparently he had a good year or smth? mark trumbo at 26? really? idek.

should i keep scherzer or bautista

y

dunno the stats you track, or what the people in your league value, but when i have a tough pick (esp between a pitcher and a batter) i try to figure out which one is most likely to still be available in the last pick of the first round. if you think you can grab one in the redraft, drop that one.

the keepers are so pointless it doesn't matter, it's just a 3-keeper league and my other 2 are cabrera and yu. my plan is just "pick the top three players according to ADP" and because mockdraftcentral has bautista way higher than scherzer, i figured i'd take him. and then ESPN actually started drafting and scherzer's like 10 spots higher than jose (this is an ESPN league). MDC rankings are always better but i'm actually not sure who value more. probably going with jose but it's annoying.

my other team name: Machado About Nothing. i am very proud of this one.

golf clap

(i have a good new one for our new season)

torn on a last keeper -- say all else equal or w/e, who'd you take of the below for just this year

Werth
Ryu
Wacha
Matt Moore

wacha/moore over ryu. i'd lean wacha between the two personally, but moore might be a better option depending on your league (ie. which one is worth more in trade value? which one can you not just redraft later?).

that said tho, i haven't mentioned werth bc you need to rule out 2 SPs... the real question is, does it make more sense to keep a pretty great OF or a pretty great SP in your league? i'd say odds are werth is the best option in most leagues, but i dunno yours.

My team name in the ILX league I was pretty satisfied w/, so I put it in and left it (Villar Love Triangle). However in my other league I completely haven't come up with one I like so far... lowlights include Imagine Pagans, Pauliment Funkagoldschmidt, and my most recent, STROP LORD.

or go 'ten gold chains like im job, JOBA RRANKS'

In my other league I'm going with Tanana Hammock but halfway through the year I'm changing to Sid Bream Police.

auction leagues are sad cause you end up with 8 extra dollars you coulda put on jose abreu and now you have xander bogaerts in your UTIL spot

A bit of controversy in my irl league. There's a manager in my league who has made the following recent trades:

Traded David Wright for Nolan Arenado (before Arenado's hit streak, btw) (approved)
Traded Mike Trout and Gerrit Cole for Masahiro Tanaka and Ben Revere (vetoed)
Traded Evan Longoria for Tommy Hunter (vetoed)

Now he's pissed off that we vetoed those two trades. He's at the bottom of the league and the guys he's trading to are at the top.

My philosophy is that all non-colluding trades should be accepted, but in this league we don't do it that way, so I voted to veto.

How do you guys feel about the veto? Are we being unfair?

2nd is pretty sketchy. 3rd is dumb but i'd let it go

Longoria is a second or third round pick in current drafts, and Hunter is not even being drafted in the top 200.

yeah i'd need a pretty compelling case to not veto 2 & 3, but I also have 2 red flags that make me veto: 1) collusion and 2) sour grapes teams trying ot fuck with the rest of the league

first day of H2H playoffs (FOR MONEY OK IT MATTERS) and miggy goes 4/5 with 2 homers on my bench cause ESPN notifications said he wouldn't be playing

opponent's pitching staff has thus far allowed 1 ER in 27 innings

incl jarred cosart, who he picked out of free agency 2 minutes before i could

in the past few weeks i've lost yu darvish, anibal sanchez, anthony rizzo, starlin castro and daniel murphy

now desperately sprinting towards 3rd place ($125) with no pitching limits so at this point it becomes a free agent free-for-all trying to take wins and K's, and among my opponent's 6 matchups today he had arrieta, lohse and buehrle. only one stinker. 40 innings, 1.99 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 43 K's. 3 wins. jfc. now i'm scared. meanwhile i started jake odorizzi (3IP 5ER) and jake odorizzi (3IP 5ER) only.

so now i'm doing something that probably isn't kosher and scooping up as many FA probables as i can with no intention of playing them, just so he doesn't get them. it isn't against the rules but eeeehhhhh

Guys I got this trade offer in my other GLORPING league and I need feedback... on the face of it it's a great deal for me.

Pts league (TB+RBI+R, +2(SB)-CS) where we get two minor league keeper slots for free.
The offer I got:
Jose Reyes + Rusney Castillo (M), for
Xander Bogaerts + Corey Seager (M)

I think he wins the minor league deal, Seager is more exciting than Castillo, but like... Reyes for Xander? Am I insane to not pull the trigger on that?

i accepted it bc life's too short

^ Lol :(

so you're to blame for Reyes!

hey, he needed to go on the DL when I traded for him... they finally PUT him on the DL when I DID trade for him... so... you're welcome!

Who do I start at 3B today - Yunel Escobar, Joey Gallo, or Kyle Seager?

5x5 roto?
