My team is straight garbage but man, my offensive line today:
2/30, 2 Runs, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .176 OBP/.100 SLG, 1 XBH, -1 SB

My team has gained about 40 points in the standings in the past month but somehow I don't seem to be getting any closer to the league leaders!
It's about time my team woke up from their comatose funk though.

6 players on the 10 Days DL and one on the 60 Days DL for the Bodak Yellichs of Petite Patrie. Welp.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 4 June 2018 17:07 (five years ago) link
Yeah i’m going to lobby for an extra DL spot next season.
― Van Horn Street, Sunday, 10 June 2018 19:28 (five years ago) link
I would not fight that.

so I'm officially putting Scherzer and DeGrom on the market in exchange for a good keeper (they're ranked #1 and #7 in pitching btw!!!) Greinke too, but I doubt he's super interesting to anyone. actually the rest of my team probably isn't very interesting beyond the keepers I won't trade.
― omar little, Tuesday, 12 June 2018 16:03 (five years ago) link
regarding NSB:
Is the statistical variable absolute or nah?
I think I might end the season with negative steals...
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 13 June 2018 22:57 (five years ago) link
ugh, despite my solid keepers my season is lost. went in with a bunch of promising options for my 4th/5th slot (mookie/arenado/judge being the big 3)... and they're dropping like flies due to injury or sucking. Alex Reyes, probably Shohei Ohtani, Ken Giles, Rougned Odor... worst part is, now would be when I start dismantling my team for next year, but I don't really have anyone worth offering up. Not looking for for the ol' Trap.
Well anyway if you're making a run for it and anyone not named Aaron, Mookie or Nolan interests you, I could probably stand to upgrade Hosmer & Robles I guess? as my 2019 keepers at each age bracket, so get at me!

I blame you for what happened to him today!
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 30 July 2018 04:20 (five years ago) link
Lol, you want him?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 30 July 2018 06:17 (five years ago) link
not now that you broke him!
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 30 July 2018 19:07 (five years ago) link
When’s the trade deadline again?
On the block: Scherzer, Greinke, DeGrom, Marco Gonzales. A quality rotation could be yours for the right price!
Also: Gattis, Kemp, Franco, Molina...beyond that my offense is keeping me down and I doubt anyone would want any other non-keepers.
― omar little, Friday, 3 August 2018 16:54 (five years ago) link
this league is so boring for trades
― na (NA), Friday, 3 August 2018 17:17 (five years ago) link
Deadline is Aug 12.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 3 August 2018 17:20 (five years ago) link
hey man i made some wild-ass trades in years past, remember when i gave up bryce harper and won the league?
that said i have 4 sick keepers this year and my team is trash so there's virtually no reason for me to make a trade, but if someone wants one of my non-keepers and they'll put up a 27-29 dude i'm game! i'll also try to update the keeper sheet today if i have some time
(my potential trade bait players: cesar hernandez, starling marte, felipe vazquez, david price, lol this team is terrible)
― challops trap house (Will M.), Friday, 3 August 2018 18:56 (five years ago) link
have there been any trades at all this season?
― na (NA), Friday, 3 August 2018 19:16 (five years ago) link
not this year. previous years have had between 2 and 10
― challops trap house (Will M.), Friday, 3 August 2018 19:18 (five years ago) link
(estimation, i don't have time to check now)
i updated the keeper sheet tho!
xxxp i remember, helped me win the following yr ;)
i will trade verlander for a keeper elig type of, say, a nick castellanos quality or rough equivalent fyi
― johnny crunch, Friday, 3 August 2018 23:45 (five years ago) link
Hmmm. He’s DL’d right now - but I’d move Mazara for some trade deadline nitro. Tho I’m sceptical I’ll be able to close the gap between me and holla.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 4 August 2018 21:24 (five years ago) link
I'm ISO some keepers.
FT:Kluber (#4 SP)Aguilar (#5 1B)Trivino (#9 RP)Cruz (#12 OF)Jansen (#15 RP)Happ (#25 SP)
Not sure if anyone else on my team would garner interest but lmk.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Sunday, 5 August 2018 00:43 (five years ago) link
With only 13 teams in the league there are a lot of good unclaimed FA's and less incentive to make trades.
I think all of us are really protective of our keeper eligible guys and don't want to trade them away unless there's a really good chance of winning the league. These kinds of trades happened in the past when the top three teams were more closely bunched.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Sunday, 5 August 2018 07:27 (five years ago) link
Yeah, the realy parity is in the middle... I just went from like 10th to 3rd in ~3 days.

Yup. Snag of the 2017 draft fo sho.

the story of my season today in a nutshell: ridiculous pitching (Eduardo-Rod: 5 IP, 11 K, 0 ER, 11:1 K/BB ratio), and 0-15 with one run scored from the offense.

Start Glasnow they* said*rotoballers
I had the best ERA in the league coming into this game and Glasnow's 0.2 IP outing was enough to move my season ERA a full quarter of a run.

The WHIP race is insane right now: 4 teams within <0.01 at the top.

congrats BNW! and congrats on ended your 10-year victory drought!
also, i just randomly discovered the league record book today! kinda fun to poke around (fun fact: i hold the all time, single-day strikeout record at 40).
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 1 October 2018 17:43 (five years ago) link
Kept expecting to get overtaken - must have lost like 30 pts in the 2nd half. Gerrit Cole and Suarez got me through. Thanks for the league! All those years of tanking paid off!
― bnw, Tuesday, 2 October 2018 02:36 (five years ago) link
Frustrating year for me (every SP was injured at some point, etc.) but congrats bnw for dominating for most of the year and a well deserved win.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 2 October 2018 09:21 (five years ago) link
I learned a lot (namely that you should draft keepers in a keeper-league) yet I tried to give it a go and make it interesting (which didn't really happen). Impressively dominant win B!

The keeper list (it's on the second tab in a handier format). Ages are updated and as of today so are drops from September!

do we have any control over whether same-day adds or drops are allowed in our league? if we do, is there any interest in adding that?
― na (NA), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 16:24 (five years ago) link
i think that's just a box i tick or somesuch. i'm fine either way, but wouldn't mind some kind of consensus before i do or don't tho.i'll make a new thread once me, or someone smarter than me can come up with a name.
