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.

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

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

How are your keepers doing?
Juan Soto - IL for 2 weeks (?)Adalberto Mondesi - IL for ??? Hasn't swung a bat since spring trainingKyle Tucker - Mendoza OBP(!), enjoying a 0-14 slump including 3 games in DenverNick 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)
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 22 April 2021 02:28 (three years ago) link
Lindor: SLG .195Albies: SLG .333Bryant (my lone ray of sunlight, in his final keepable year): SLG .623Pearson: DL, working his way backSoroka: 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.

nola - excellentgiolito - very good except for his one terrible start against bostonbaez - pretty much as expected - very low avg/OBP but good HR producer and surprising source of stealsalonso - slow start but the mets have only played like half their games so farpaddack - pretty good, trending better in his last couple of starts, still has a very dumb haircut
the keepers have not been the problem for me, my high draft picks have not been producing to expectations

Just noticed that yahoo! may have paywalled the little clickable info box next to each player's name?

They’re working fine for me right now. Just the new tools have been paywalled from what I can tell.

i have my 5 keepers from last year and a few new options:MACHADO - awesome as alwaysGALLO - .455 OBP, not much elseJIMENEZ - :(FLAHERTY - doing a lot better this year, I'm relievedMAY - gamble paid off so far (he's starting and excelling)
GLASNOW - I picked him #1 overall and it was not a mistakeBUXTON - HOLY $HIT this guy is 26 :DAROZARENA - not too awesome so far
― francisF, Thursday, 22 April 2021 23:22 (three years ago) link
Fuck you people and your successful picks!
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 23 April 2021 00:11 (three years ago) link
not #1 overall, but #5 in the draft (Glasnow)
― francisF, Friday, 23 April 2021 01:06 (three years ago) link
My keepers:Luis Castillo: Awful start. 7.15 ERA, under 7.5 K/9. Mookie Betts: Missed some games, fine but not the tier I want from Betts.Nolan Arenado: Also not playing to his full potential but not a disaster.Wander Franco: I didn't draft him to play in 2020. Or 2021. Or maybe 2022. So... no surprises? Zac Gallen: Seems like he's doing a great job for X's team! Traded for Strasburg (lol injured. Two starts, I missed the lights-out one and got tagged for the terrible one) and Rizzo (a couple of poor weeks and so far one good one)
Also drafted for potential keeping: Trent Grisham: Mashing when he's not on the IR.Pablo Lopez: four starts, only one (real) bad one. Excited!Ha-Seong Kim: at this point droppable.Cavan Biggio: .281 OBP for a guy I drafted hoping for a killer OBP. hahahahDinelson Lamet: Lol drafted on the IR, got back, pitched two innings, IR.
COOL SEASON WILL

OTOH I have one (1) single today in 20 ABs. I've been incredibly lucky this season... I was wondering when the wheels were gonna fall off.

I wouldn't say I benched him ... let's call it overtinkering my lineup. I have been doing way too much of it this season. I looked at the pitching matchups and thought I'd give others some ABs.

i added cedric mullins and he hit two home runs and the next day i benched trea turner...who hit two home runs.
― j.q higgins, Thursday, 29 April 2021 00:36 (three years ago) link
i dropped cedric mullins before you picked him up and none of my players have since hit two home runs in a game, which seems about right for my season so far
