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

Lame. Time to find a new league.

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.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 3 October 2016 13:55 (nine years ago)
Thanksgiving is gonna be amazing this year!

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

I should mention this is a Deep League...

one of my lineups on fanduel tonight is 14,092nd out of 14,117. it is the maybe the worst i have ever done at anything.
― Karl Malone, Friday, 21 April 2017 04:42 (nine years ago)
6 home runs is p crazy.

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.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 22:16 (nine years ago)
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... :-(
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 4 July 2017 02:34 (eight years ago)
he's toast stick a fork in him
― qualx, Tuesday, 4 July 2017 02:49 (eight years ago)
Ugh.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 4 July 2017 03:46 (eight years ago)
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.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 4 July 2017 15:54 (eight years ago)
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?!
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 30 July 2017 10:25 (eight years ago)
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,

This year I ran an auction league draft for the first time. I've been wanting to do an auction forever. So fun!
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 4 May 2018 20:04 (eight years ago)
We're using Fangraphs points scoring, which is insane. No RBIs, no runs, no pitcher wins ...
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 4 May 2018 20:05 (eight years ago)
which platform?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 4 May 2018 20:35 (eight years ago)
Yahoo!
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 4 May 2018 20:56 (eight years ago)
My other league is auction too. It’s awesome except for the fact anyone who misses the draft is fucked.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 4 May 2018 21:00 (eight years ago)
my team name next season: Mad Boone Rising.
― Van Horn Street, Saturday, 5 May 2018 02:04 (eight years ago)
I’m stealing that.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 5 May 2018 22:46 (eight years ago)
not stealing if i'm sharing it!
― Van Horn Street, Saturday, 5 May 2018 22:48 (eight years ago)
So that makes two no hitters for my other team this year!

Someone in one of my leagues dropped Eddie Rosario a couple days ago:
2018: .285/.309/.529 9HR 4SB
For this league's stats, he was rated 140 in preseason and is currently rated 43 for the season.
His trend is downward, but not horrible:Last 30 days rating: 17 Last 14 days rating: 336 Last 7 days rating: 445
My other eligible outfielders are Whit Merrifield, Dee Gordon (DL), Teoscar Hernandez, Mark Trumbo, Nelson Cruz (DL?), Daniel Descalso.
This is a no brainer right?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 23 May 2018 16:03 (eight years ago)
3/4 today! it's a sign! i reached for him in my other league. he's been streaky but worth every penny.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 23 May 2018 23:06 (eight years ago)
Lol, now Trumbo is heading to the DL so I'm gonna pull the trigger.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 24 May 2018 00:34 (eight years ago)
^^^^
11-27 since I picked him up, currently rated #39 overall.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 30 May 2018 15:51 (eight years ago)
Three homers for Rosario today!
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 3 June 2018 22:47 (eight years ago)
!!! Pick up of the season for me so far...
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 4 June 2018 00:51 (eight years ago)
my glorping pick for me so far would be Gleyber Torres.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 4 June 2018 14:31 (eight years ago)
i'm in a shallow auction league where after the draft i was like "lol my team is going to be the best"
currently floating in 3rd of 8 teams, and fully 33% (8 of 24) of my squad is on the DL: donaldson, belt, pollock, archer, kershaw, syndergaard, darvish, robbie ray (i said it was a shallow league)
like... shallow or not, i can't drop a single one of thes fucking guys
― challops trap house (Will M.), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 20:03 (eight years ago)
Who's on the WW/FA list? I find it hard you'd be too attached to Archer & Darvish...
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 20:09 (eight years ago)
By ysahoo's season ranking, there's Mikolas, Wacha, Folty, Mengden, Gio G, Berrios, Cahill, Ryu, Newcomb, Porcello... All better than them this year, but not exactly inspiring.
― challops trap house (Will M.), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 20:39 (eight years ago)
Archer was dropped in my 10-team AL only league (I snatched him up); but if he's droppable there you're probably safe to turf him.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 20:43 (eight years ago)
done, let's see what berrios can do. i was initially gonna just ride it out because i was killing my innings limit, but when half of your pitchers go down that head start begins to erode real quick
