At dinner, mention that you are master of both fantasy and reality

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

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.

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

Ugh.

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!

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?

Yahoo!

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
― challops trap house (Will M.), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 20:50 (eight years ago)
keep an eye on archer tho – he's apparently only missing one start.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 6 June 2018 17:44 (eight years ago)
Over the course of 4 days, Paul Goldschmidt has risen from 298 to 87 in overall player rankings in default H2H yahoo league scoring.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Sunday, 10 June 2018 16:12 (seven years ago)
After yesterday's hit-piece in ESPN on Miguel Sano, he's been dropped in 3% of Y! leagues, including a couple of mine.
Worth a look or nah?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 14 June 2018 16:46 (seven years ago)
depends on whether or not you count high-a stats

so in my other glorping league - we have a team that missed the (auction) draft and has been pouting about it all season (the auto draft left him with an abomination of a team). he was doing some weird waiver wire shit - dropping a few of his respectable players and literally benched his entire team. weird, but whatever. the commish, who is a smart, talented, decent guy knew about all this as well. no biggie. but then over the weekend this trash team trades literally his only two ok/good players to the commish – for two nobodies. trade was voted down a day later; but i was kinda of appalled at what poor judgment he exercised. he took over the commish job from me a few years ago, so i don't want to rag on him... the other team should really be locked imho. maybe he got the hint when his trade was smacked down and that will be enough... maybe i should fire him a message? leaning towards keeping quiet.
