YOUR OTHER GLORPING FANTASY LEAGUES!!!

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?

3/4 today! it's a sign!
i reached for him in my other league. he's been streaky but worth every penny.

Lol, now Trumbo is heading to the DL so I'm gonna pull the trigger.

^^^^

11-27 since I picked him up, currently rated #39 overall.

Three homers for Rosario today!

!!! Pick up of the season for me so far...

my glorping pick for me so far would be Gleyber Torres.

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

Who's on the WW/FA list? I find it hard you'd be too attached to Archer & Darvish...

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

depends on whether or not you count high-a stats

lol, just saw the news!

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?

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.

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.

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:

Kinsler
Myers
Swarzak
Skaggs
McCullers
Wood

...not to mention Dee Gordon DTD with rolled ankle & Posey on concussion protocol...

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.

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 lol'd. Nice inclusion of Homer.

inclusion of homer? where? (i have already forgotten everything i have done)

Homer, the Marlins sculpture lol

"sculpture"

IT HAS A NAME?????

wow. this somehow makes me love it even more wtf

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?

This includes 7 of the top 80 (yahoo pre-season rank) offensive players in a 5x5 league.

I want to take this opportunity to extol my pitching staff in an eight-team league I have with some friends who only watch Giants games.

Scherzer, Verlander, Kershaw, Bauer, Thor (he's been bad), and Paxton (someone dropped him!) are my vets, with Chris Paddack and Shane Bieber as the up-and-comers.

My offense is also good! I love it.

Yahoo! standard H2H leagues have always had something like this:

Note: Each week, your pitching staff must total a minimum of 20 innings pitched. If you fail to reach this mark, you will lose all of your pitching games for that week.

A manager in a league that I'm in says this week he may have his pitching stats zeroed out as he potentially won't hit the cutoff this week as games with his SPs keep getting PPD.

It's Thursday. He can't stream a couple of pitchers?

Yeah that was mentioned but it's a 10 manager league so he'd have to drop some heat.

...for example Jack Flaherty (#4 average pick overall in Yahoo!) has pitched exactly one game this season: July 24th which was exactly 2 weeks ago.

In my head to head league where I finished pretty much at the bottom, I finished 2nd overall (aggregate) in steals but went 1W-5L-1T.

...in that category.

i am in first place by two points right now in my brutally shallow AL only league and the guy in second has been overtaking me on and off for a month now.
in a desperate attempt to keep/gain points i have dropped both closers and all normal starters in favour of set-up (holds) guys and to hopefully not lose out on wins i am starting Skubel. which might be incredibly stupid since I can't afford to bloat my ERA

CJ Cron has been added/dropped 3x in one league already.
