the six non-playoff teams aren't allowed to make moves so there's always a freakish amount of hot hitters (like drubezzzz) who never get picked up while I keep a spot on my roster for sean fucking manaea

this sounds like the worst league set-up ever.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 23 September 2016 20:23 (nine years ago)
now i have to determine if i should punt saves and drop britton colome and the newly minted i guess neris... maybe neris is enough to compete in it but i'm already behind by 2
everyone says uehara is the backup guy in boston so who gets the vulture save today? ziegler. i could've gotten drubez with that spot. or roman quinn and his bag.
― qualx, Saturday, 24 September 2016 03:34 (nine years ago)
also lol the rangers are about to clinch so i guess it's time to pick up RAUL FUCKING ALCANTARA to face their b-team tomorrow, worked with chase anderson vs the cubs
my new meta is planning this shit out way in advance. eno sarris said he loved it but he's sort of gone off the deep end lately.
― qualx, Saturday, 24 September 2016 03:36 (nine years ago)
and indeed the rangers are throwing out the worst lineup in history today
watch out for glasnow vs the nats and anderson vs the dodgers, though anderson might have better luck with their real lineup of mostly lefties
both teams have an E# of 2

so apparently elvis andrus isn't feeling hungover
― qualx, Saturday, 24 September 2016 21:46 (nine years ago)
so apparently my opponent's team felt like scoring 18 RBI today

yup i just lost last night in the semis after setting the regular season record for the second year in a row
playoffs are bullshit and people who use them should feel bad

he had 4 starts and also got 2

my cousin just cheated with commissioner powers
second time he's done this
― qualx, Sunday, 2 October 2016 01:40 (nine years ago)
anyone with ESPN experience know if there's a log somewhere where you can see commissioner forced changes? he moved dickerson from his bench to an active spot like a full hour after he hit a 3-run homer.
i'm not going to call him out on it because lol family but i'd like to have concrete evidence anyway
― qualx, Sunday, 2 October 2016 02:24 (nine years ago)
https://s10.postimg.org/lan2w1h2h/chrischeating.png
there it is
he's done it 13 times this year
― qualx, Sunday, 2 October 2016 02:34 (nine years ago)

But wait, second time he's done this, or 13th?
― I look forward to hearing from you shortly, (Karl Malone), Sunday, 2 October 2016 04:07 (nine years ago)
second time i've caught him doing it. first time was years ago when matt kemp mysteriously migrated from the bench after hitting a bomb. i called him out on it on fb, he told me he had no clue what i was talking about, i gave him the benefit of the doubt and convinced myself i looked at his roster too early the first time.
13th time he's done it this season according to the TranLog. i didn't know until just now that it specified via the "(By LM)" thing so i just did a ctrl-f. he did it 10 times last year, and that seems to be as far back as the logs go. maybe a few of those were more or less kosher but i know for a fact that the one he just did wasn't.
― qualx, Sunday, 2 October 2016 04:28 (nine years ago)
i should point out that he's won the entire league 3 out of the last 5 years
last LM transaction before this was exactly 2 weeks ago in the semifinals, right after they got close
― qualx, Sunday, 2 October 2016 04:45 (nine years ago)
Lame. Time to find a new league.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 2 October 2016 14:08 (nine years ago)
i won -- second year in a row i beat him for it. his cheating resulted in him tying me in RBI but i still won 7-2. at one point i was winning 9-1 with all starting pitching categories. had 10 starts yesterday and 10 starts today, mostly garbage scrap guys, and they combined for a 3.16 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP along with 8 wins and 99 Ks. that's freakishly good isn't it? would've been even better if i'd only picked jose berrios.
not sure what to do now without making thanksgiving really awkward. and my damn dad's in the league now. and HIS dad! that's the weirdest part.
― qualx, Monday, 3 October 2016 03:18 (nine years ago)
ask him if you can have the password to change your lineup after games have already started
― I look forward to hearing from you shortly, (Karl Malone), Monday, 3 October 2016 13:08 (nine years ago)
If he gives it to you, use it to completely annihilate him
At dinner, mention that you are master of both fantasy and reality
― I look forward to hearing from you shortly, (Karl Malone), Monday, 3 October 2016 13:09 (nine years ago)
also, you can tell him about the vastly superior keeper league – with its amazing, handsome commissioner – you're thinking of joining.

serious suggestions:* ask if you can have a turn being the administrator* say you're too busy to do it this season and then sign up in a different league

My Catcher situation is so dire I'm considering picking up the Rangers back-up/every-5-days-or-so Catcher as my full-time backstop.

I just traded for Machado - only cost me Bautista, so im not too worried about what I gave up. But does anyone think he can turn his season around?
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 4 July 2017 02:06 (eight years ago)
Historically he has a better 1st half than 2nd... :-(

well his BABIP is crazy low – his hard-hit rate is as high as ever, along with walk rate. the only thing that troubling is his K rate has gone up by about 3%. i still like his odds of bouncing back ROS.

so my other league is AL-only and i have the top waiver priority. Is Duda really the best thing that's going NL-to-AL this trade deadline?!

one of the things i insist on doing for some reason is making sure each of my teams has a new team name every year and this year i had one i was pretty unhappy with from the draft until now (Mahtook Ones (Pt II)) but the other day I was walking and I had just the most gloriously stupid idea for a name that I cannot shake so I present to you all the logo for my 4th (!?!) team this year,
