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 ...

My other league is auction too. It’s awesome except for the fact anyone who misses the draft is fucked.

my team name next season: Mad Boone Rising.

I’m stealing that.

not stealing if i'm sharing it!

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 (six years ago) link
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 (six years ago) link
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 (six years ago) link
^^^^
11-27 since I picked him up, currently rated #39 overall.

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 (five years ago) link
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 (five years ago) link
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 (five years ago) link
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 (five years ago) link
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 (five years ago) link
keep an eye on archer tho – he's apparently only missing one start.

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 (five years ago) link
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?

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.

is there a public place to berate and embarrass the offender? a chat room or fb group or something? i'd say that's a good start, and get the rest of your league on it... is there an incentive to tanking this obviously?
― challops trap house (Will M.), Monday, 30 July 2018 20:43 (five years ago) link
no - not a keeper league, or a cash league or anything. he's just being a suck. that i don't care about so much as our commissioner deciding making a blatantly one sided-trade with that team. i have no idea what he was thinking.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 30 July 2018 22:48 (five years ago) link
yeah ef both of those guys, hopefully everyone vetoes the trade. next year I'd hesitate to join the league and if asked why, just mention these incidents and that you'd be wary of such sketchy COLLUSION.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 30 July 2018 23:16 (five years ago) link
Trade is already dead. The commish tho is a pretty great guy normally. I’m really baffled.

ouch... murphy?
you can forgive yourself for benching him tho, he hasn't been exactly setting the world on fire in 2018. still hurts

Had 6 guys go on the DL in the last 24 hours:

in another roto league i just moved into joint 1st place today, after taking first for the first time only 3 days before the end of the season. same guy was on top all year until i ruined it! Had my WHIP been 0.0038 lower, I would have won outright. Perhaps more shockingly, had my WHIP been 0.00026 (!!!) higher, I wouldn't have finished in first.

I won my friends league. $$$ back-to-back champs. :)
If Twitter ever released my search results for this year it would just say "mariners lineup" over and over again.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 2 October 2018 17:02 (five years ago) link
So my team name in my other league has been WHIP Priest for a few years, a nod to the Fall song as well as the baseball stat, walks plus hits over innings pitched.
Never had a really good image to use as my team logo, though. Not until today!
New Team Logo(original for comparison)
i need at least one person other than me and my commish to get this (i guess you could say it's nooooooot a-ppre-ci-a-ted)

i have my AL-only league's auction draft coming up this weekend. with 10-teams putting together a full roster can get a little daunting – and bidding for all-star caliber players can easily turn batshit.been thinking about it non-stop all week, whereas i did literally no prep-work for the ilbb draft!

Seems like yahoo! got rid of roto leagues unless you run your own league, you can't just jump in and join an open league... or is H2H just that much more popular?
