No week 18 action apparently so this is it. Congrats Gordon Ramsay, it's hard to suck worse than you. 1. Soggy Bottom Boyz! 82.875 @Chef99 2. Condescending Corgis 81.625 @All-Star Benchwarmer 3. New Team 3 78.625 @tlance 4. yfgannon 71.5 @YourFriendGannon 5. milkDUDs 67 @MilkSpiller22 6...

Can FIP be looked up on StatHead? [I have never used StatHead.] I really only take curiosity in negative FIP. So for instance, if I wanted to see single events in which a pitcher had a negative FIP covering the course of one game, coupled with another qualifier. Or if I wanted to see every time...

I remember tuning in to a Nuggets game as a fan of the other team 20 years ago, seeing these 2 in the starting lineup and saying to myself, “Who the hell are these guys? I mean, I know Tsikitshvili quite well...” This was no fluke either. It turns out Vincent Yarbrough and Junior Harrington...

Or fared worse in relief than in a starting role, if you prefer. The larger the sample sizes, the better. Any example pitcher with 30+ career starts plus 90+ career innings out of the bullpen would be great. So the one I know of is Justin Duchscherer who had a 3.01 ERA in 32 career starts and...

Don’t be fooled by Tampa’s historic start to the season. The Dodgers are a team of destiny who will not only win the World Series, they will be the ones closing in on 117 wins in September. Just a feeling I have after reviewing some data.

Really heartened by the heads up play from these 2 lads tonight. Great show! I look forward to their future endeavors.

Let's win one for Dave. A possible new team motto.

The Angels have just lost 12 consecutive games for the first time since the Reagan Administration. Perhaps a trade for Yelich and Kelley can rejuvenate them and save Maddon's hide?

Who is the most recent player (go by year he entered the league) to make more free throws than field goals in his career? - Minimum 5000 minutes played Hint: this player set the single season record for free throws made at his alma mater

One Mr. Tom Scharpling just released his first book, a memoir. He has been a tv writer for Monk, Steven Universe, and others. He's hosted a comedy radio show/podcast for 20 years. The AV Club reviewed his book last week and in that review it was revealed that the name Scharpling is an invented...

My league is canceled for the year due to lack of interest. As someone who was neutral about/felt permissive of protests of the last couple seasons, it's difficult to stomach playing again after seeing players with Jacob Blake's name on their helmets. I think this might be it. If anyone here...

Last '80s player to retire.

There is no way baseball will be activating the labyrinth of miner leagues in 2020. If the major league is opened, I'm not sure even one miner league level will be. Each team having a taxi squad seems more realistic. Americans won't stand for a high-A scrub needing rotator cuff surgery because...

Houston's frontcourt depth is like Swiss cheese. With Capela out the last few games, fellow countryman Thabo Sefolosha has been filling in playing backup center. Sefolosha was almost exclusively a wing his first 8 seasons and played shooting guard the majority of the time. By 2016-2017 he began...

Aubrey Huff: Ex-Giants player slams team for hiring a female coach In response to a news story about Nakken joining the Giants' staff, Huff responded on Twitter, "couldn't imagine taking baseball instruction from an ex female softball player." "I got in trouble for wearing a thong in my own...

Scheduled games for weeks 14-16 are shown in parentheses. I own the first 3 (normally my roster when I reach the playoffs is nothing like it is now). The last 2 are potential pickups. I plan to drop Goff either this week or after the Seattle game. His lows are super predictable. Jared Goff...

This has come up in a couple threads over the course of the past day, so I know it upset at least a few of you. My reaction, as someone not closely impacted was, "I'm surprised this kind of thing doesn't happen more often." It seems that many in the fantasy community have come around to being...

Yes yes yes. You don't make a field goal attempt that decides the game longer than it should be. He needs to feel the motivator his life is in jeopardy so this doesn't happen again.

On draft day I was eyeing these two as my preferred TE and ended up with Howard. At their relative ADP, meaning Howard's off the board a round or a couple rounds earlier, who would you rather have wanted with our current hindsight? For the sake of this question, assume it's a deep enough league...

Which of the two would you rather speculate on potentially looking ahead to next year? Only answer within 24 hours.

Pretty much the lone bright spot on my fantasy team.

.....

Charlotte will probably miss the playoffs for the third straight year. I was looking up and down their roster. Wow, I don't know if there is a second piece there who checks out as being potentially more than a role player. I don't believe there ought to be an outside expectation of someone in...
