♫ Pitcher bunt attempts forever, for the union makes us bat ♫ – 2021 ILX Fantasy Baseball!

That’s hilarious

I had to research it first, but that's an epic team avatar there

make sure your lineups are set, boys!

My closer had TJ surgery this week. Smashing start to the season!

yermin's gonna be pickup of the year isn't he

If he can get eligibility at a position or two...

Is it too late to punt on all categories? #strategy

Teams will now just be 10 UTL slots.

who wants to change their team name to "Are we the Baddoos?"

who wants to change their team name to "Are we the Baddoos?"

me!

I just returned yesterday from a weeklong spring break in the mountains and was very surprised to see my team is hanging in there despite my top 3 players playing a total of zero games and a rash of injuries.

I was able to hike up to a nearby peak to our campsite that I was able to get a bar of phone coverage and set my lineup and try to pick some triage scraps off the waiver wire.

A View to Akil is also available to anyone, just sayin.

McMahon hit 3 (3!) homeruns on my bench today

pretty good day for the bench boys, actually: 5/8, 4 HR

It’s not fantasy baseball if your bench isn’t out hitting the entire league.

Thwacking sound by auto-drafted bums headed to the cellar.

It’s not fantasy baseball if your bench isn’t out hitting the entire league.

lol i know this goes in the other glorping fantasy leagues thread but your bench is either A) outhitting the rest of the league or B) entirely made up of IR/injured players. my bench for week 3 in other league is currently Bell, Olson, Taylor, Donaldson, Jimenez, K Lewis, Mondesi, Grisham

✖! what are you doing with your team? Buck Farmer?!

If you have a problem with Buck Farmer you have a problem with me

(I'm trying to pick up potential vulture saves)

saves aren't even a stat on their own in our league! Buck Farmer!!

oh, i have a new team name if anyone wants to give it a good home: Fedde Gott Fingers

yeah but saves are easier to hunt for than holds

late on this but Will, my team name is currently:

BillyChildishBambino

#dokeepup

Aw I could've sworn I checked to see if Hampson was available last night

He’s doing well? Drafted him last year with high hopes but he was a serious let down.

You're welcome to Byron Buxton, who for the first year since he came up is on neither of my fantasy baseball teams. By letting him go I have freed him to be really really good at baseball

Received with open arms 💪 thank you!

Well I give up. Max Fried died on me yesterday. Plesac and McCullers imploded today. This fantasy season has gone about as good as the last year of my life. I give up.

Warning to any fans of Casey Mize: i have added him to my team, be ready for his arm to fall off or a piano to fall from space and land on him. apologies in advance.

april isn't even halfway over!

i keep telling myself with my >6 team ERA!

you can't win your league in the first month, but you sure as hell can lose it!

trying to think of a better mize-centric team name than You Can't Hide Your Lyin Mize

Real Meyez RealMize Real Miez

Then this one I just came up with will be of no help to you: Skubal Drew

every time i read "skubal" my brain goes "from the bottom of the skubal, cackalacky to new yawk" which is probably too long

A criminal Mize
is ball I
ball I've every thrown

ever*

Mize da B'y

so yahoo is beta-testing longer team names. I've signed us up. I'll let you all know when we can all finally rename our teams the text from entire novels.

hey maybe i can at least use my full team name, including the parenthetical

ok guys. our team name limit is 30 characters! go to town, and since it's in testing lmk if you experience any weirdness and i can let the yahoo dev team know.

worked for me

yes, i see you really thought that one through.

ha, i happened to be in there before you posted and thought i would go ahead and try

perfect length for my team name, but i was getting used to the fire emoji i had to save space 😕
it doesn't display the full length when i'm on the My Team page, btw

mobile or desk/laptop?

and is it just truncating, with the "..." at the end? it's showing up fine on both my phone and desktop.

sorry for the questions, part of signing up for the testing was providing feedback.

ok, so my last post seemed to have disappered, anyway,

I was wrong actually it puts the last word "Jeffress" on a second line on my team page on desktop

utterly broken!

How are your keepers doing?

Juan Soto - IL for 2 weeks (?)
Adalberto Mondesi - IL for ??? Hasn't swung a bat since spring training
Kyle Tucker - Mendoza OBP(!), enjoying a 0-14 slump including 3 games in Denver
Nick Castellanos - started red hot but currently SUSP for flexing after scoring post-HBP (didn't touch anyone, had his hands behind his back)
Matt Olson - verrrrry slow start but I have nothing to complain about at all (except for a CS today)

Lindor: SLG .195
Albies: SLG .333
Bryant (my lone ray of sunlight, in his final keepable year): SLG .623
Pearson: DL, working his way back
Soroka: DL and, i quote, "not good"

keeper hopefulls... Robles: SLG .255; Kelenic: NA; Plesac: imploding with a 6.75 ERA and finally max Fried: DL with an 11.45 ERA.

my team is a disaster wrapped in a catastrophe.
