Waiting 171 days to submit your keepers will not give you another year of control – 2019 I Love Fantasy Baseball League is open!

the deed is done. and i don't think the trade was absurd!

(it was you tbqh)

that's maybe half the notifications i've gotten in this chain over the past two days

i'm unbelievably back in the mix at the back of the pack -- it'll be a knife fight in a phone booth for 12th place.

ive clawed to 3rd/4th ish after autodraft brutalized & left me for dead

Not 1 but 2 grand slams today, yes from my team whose only keeper is on the IL with a busted testicle.

Said keeper had surgery to repair said busted testicle and may (?) begin light baseball activities shortly.

now that i'm not in first place anymore i feel like i'm allowed to complain about how badly my pitching rotation is fucking me

some of which was me gambling on streaming options, sure, but my young hotshot pitchers (paddack, strahm, and fried) fell apart and stasburg has had some shitty games recently. on the plus side, darvish has been gradually improving and clevinger just came off the IL, so hopefully that plus verlander will stem the bleeding

Having been in last place all season despite having an across-the-board fine offense I feel that. My best pitcher has been the thoroughly solid #4 guy Mike Minor.

This is one hell of a trade that's brewing between The Guns of Buxton and Porno for Shapiros. Gutsy move, both of you!

Team name I thought of the other day: Acuña Matata

My mistake last year was waiting too long to make a deal and push for first. Just hoping Springer comes back as hot as he was before the injury. And stays healthy obviously.

midseason awards:

NL MVP: Yellich (he ain't javy K)
AL MVP: Trout (blast first petit K)
NL CY: Ryu (porno for shapiros FA)
AL CY: Verlander (he ain't javy FA)
NL ROY: Alonso (he ain't javy FA)
AL ROY: Vogelbach (porno for shapiros FA)

i believe alonso is a keeper for me, i drafted him

or is keeper-eligible, i mean. but maybe you mean he was a free agent prior to the draft.

you haven't kept him yet!

sorry for the confusion, i was reading the K/FA as their eligibility, not as their current status. it doesn't matter.

Now do gold gloves!

just an FYI – i accidentally hit the "-" button next to Winkler's name instead of closing the window, and then return because i am dumb and was closing a bunch of windows at once and not paying attention. hence the drop and instant re-add in the transactions.

THE REMAINDER OF THIS SEASON WILL BE PLAYED UNDER PROTEST

if it helps appease the league – everyone can have Winkler for two weeks.

usually my pitching is great and my hitting is mediocre and this year it's the other way around, i'm averaging 2 pts per pitching category.

dammit! tried to add Petit seconds after Bellinger EscapePlan did!

you have to wake up preeeeetty early to beat me! (5:00pm would suffice)

my blunder was mowing the lawn first.

pretty satisfied with my blue jays pickups so far, bottom of 4
3/4, 1 2B, 2 HR

omg

4/5, 1 2B, 3 HR

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

better yet perhaps commish can place him back on my team? i've just done it

hey - so i just got back from chicago where i had spotty access to the interwebs. what's up?

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?

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.

but he is going to have to clear space first.

good to know...

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 CS
Thanks Thermo for the help, and yes feel free to change my name to the Mulligans if it makes Al feel better

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.

Nate Fellators, hello.
anyway, cheers thanks

Too bad I couldn't get him in time for the game today 40.50 ERA

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 :/ )

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.
