my blunder was mowing the lawn first.

i drafted that fucker in my other league (for $10) and carried his sub-mendoza ass for two months before dropping him. now this – he's gone in both leagues in seconds. anyways, glad he's hitting and am a big fan of his.

might be time to drop Joey Votto :`(

Since this league was turned into a keeper league, has there ever been a team with all 5 Keepers on the DL?
Asking for a friend.

I have inadvertently dismissed Eovaldi, who has been on NA. Looks like he may be becoming closer for the red sox. Will you guys be bros and let me have him after the waiver period? I'll have lost those days anyway, due to my negligence, though i don't know how it happened. cheers, love you
― francisF, Saturday, 20 July 2019 16:32 (four years ago) link
better yet perhaps commish can place him back on my team? i've just done it
― francisF, Saturday, 20 July 2019 16:35 (four years ago) link
hey - so i just got back from chicago where i had spotty access to the interwebs. what's up?
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 22 July 2019 14:20 (four years ago) link
can you drop someone so you have room on your roster? i'll de-drop eovaldi for you and maybe rename your team for lols.

Wait... so we can take mulligans now?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 22 July 2019 16:41 (four years ago) link
he asked literally right away and i'd done the same for myself when i hit the wrong fucking button earlier, so ya.everyone gets one.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 22 July 2019 17:26 (four years ago) link
but he is going to have to clear space first.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 22 July 2019 17:27 (four years ago) link
good to know...
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 22 July 2019 17:29 (four years ago) link
Okay I dropped Cain, who played one game for me in an effort to maybe get a steal, where i'm dead last. Collected I CSThanks Thermo for the help, and yes feel free to change my name to the Mulligans if it makes Al feel better
― francisF, Monday, 22 July 2019 21:40 (four years ago) link
Collected 1* CS that should say
Apparently renaming teams is where my powers end.
Oh well. I don’t think “Nathan Eovaldi #1 Fan Club” would have fit anyways.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 23 July 2019 00:07 (four years ago) link
Nate Fellators, hello.anyway, cheers thanks
― francisF, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 00:35 (four years ago) link
Too bad I couldn't get him in time for the game today 40.50 ERA
― francisF, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 02:15 (four years ago) link
Since I'm on a roll and to appease commish, my new name is Eovaldi: The 4 Seams (cept no punctuation is allowed i guess :/ )
― francisF, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 09:18 (four years ago) link
it took me longer than it shd have, but i get that reference

like most our teams – i got no clue.

Severino coming back as a RP. so no use to me at all this year.
open to offers if anyone wants five years of control on the dude, who will be back as a SP next year.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 25 July 2019 16:33 (four years ago) link
I'm tempted by that ...
My hitters were a combined 1-26 last night but with a .342 OBP.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 27 July 2019 08:24 (four years ago) link
I had 3 starters going, they went 1.77era 1.03whip 3k:bb 2w 2qs. but one wasn't really a starter. rays had castillo opening for yarbrough, robbing me of a W and QS >:(
i managed to log a Zero in the standings for about the 250th time this year
― francisF, Saturday, 27 July 2019 14:26 (four years ago) link
i mean the blue jays are my irl team and i'll champion them always, but do you really need to use an opener on them lol? don't you know what it's doing to Orel Halo//Eovaldi/The 4 Seams
― francisF, Saturday, 27 July 2019 14:30 (four years ago) link
This is enraging! Every good day I have, my gains are matched by Javy! Ahhh, stop being so good, you SOB!

I'm destined for 3rd at this point, but holla keeps having himself some days and I'm sure af not ready to give up my podium spot and that has become my main objective, keeping holla down in his lowly 4th trash spot ;)
― francisF, Monday, 29 July 2019 09:05 (four years ago) link
also – congrats to No Time... your other NA/keeper stash is coming up! your fantasy fortunes are now forever linked to the blue jays. your next stash should the guy they just landed, Simeon-Woods-Richardson.

ha there's still more than 1/3 of the season left, i could still fuck it up
i am a little worried about running into the innings limits too early
― na (NA), Monday, 29 July 2019 15:01 (four years ago) link
the day your team had yesterday made me want to cry.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 29 July 2019 15:31 (four years ago) link
holy shit dude – how do you even get to +21 in the OF?!
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 29 July 2019 15:51 (four years ago) link
i don't even know how to see those stats but i assume it's mostly thanks to christian yelich
― na (NA), Monday, 29 July 2019 15:56 (four years ago) link
innings limits can't be viewed in the yahoo app. you gotta use a web browser and scroll below the roster/stats. (you may be in for a bumpy final week)
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 29 July 2019 15:59 (four years ago) link
oh i misunderstood what you meant. yeah i had a surplus of productive OFs so i was playing four OFs every day for a while there.
― na (NA), Monday, 29 July 2019 16:08 (four years ago) link
ya, i was talking about innings – not production or value etc.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 29 July 2019 16:13 (four years ago) link
Sorry Thermo, I'm only willing to move Soto for Tatis Jr. or maybe Vlad Jr. with a decent plus. He's my namesake player but more importantly (and no offense...) I have plenty of banged up keepers who are out for the year with questionable future value.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 1 August 2019 15:17 (four years ago) link
i have neither of those players so you must see the predicament i am in!
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 1 August 2019 19:35 (four years ago) link
hey guys, where do i see the inning limits and where i sit for various categories again?

How the fuck do you shoot up 7.5 points in one day this far into the season?! This shit is uncalled for.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 5 August 2019 13:17 (four years ago) link
it's getting tight at the top again. i've got one of my clumps of starting pitching tonight but any or all of them could blow up badly (darvish at philly, stroman at atlanta, aaron sanchez at oakland ... not feeling super confident about any of those)
― na (NA), Thursday, 15 August 2019 19:36 (four years ago) link
Now I know why I did better last year (ignored keepers) versus this year (keepers, most of them on the IL): it's a lot easier to ride the FA/waiver wire when you have open slots that aren't cock-blocked by dudes with ruptured testicles, etc.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 15 August 2019 20:18 (four years ago) link
"cock-blocked by dudes with ruptured testicles" quite an image
― na (NA), Thursday, 15 August 2019 20:40 (four years ago) link
yes... hopefully the Toronto sleeper agents I deployed pitch "well" tonight.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 15 August 2019 21:00 (four years ago) link
i feel like i made some solid decisions w/r/t waiver wire pickups which have allowed me to claw all the way up to 8th place though i'm reconsidering my Jorge Soler drop (not that he could help my terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad pitching).
― omar little, Thursday, 15 August 2019 21:07 (four years ago) link
I'm happy to be leading the 2nd tier (aka 3rd) again. A couple days ago I was hit with -4 pts despite this pitching line: 17.1IP, 1W, 25K, 2.60ERA, 1.04WHIP, 5K:BB, 2QS, 3SV+H!I have missed Scherzer big time, and I'll have to finish up without Encarnacion & Gallo, looks like. I switched back to Orel Halo
― francisF, Friday, 16 August 2019 00:59 (four years ago) link
I had an offensive day for the ages yesterday: 13/17, 11 R, 9 HR, 13 RBI, .481 OBP, 1.519 SLG, 10 XBH. Set the league single day record for HR, XBH, and SLG. Unfortunately all this did was make up for my offense mostly crapping the bed for the past two weeks, but still, it was a fun day.
