Femur

 

[jeffro151]

Jeffro.

I like Femur ' s pitching over mine, but I feel that my lineup could get the job done.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I really hated the Mariano pick by Femur... But I guess it fits his team, as he has the significantly better rotation, and BP...

Jeffro has the much better offense... that 3-4 is unreal... But I don't really love the rest of Jeffros team... Nothing bad, but just nothing that special either... as great as Ruth + Aaron is, I just don't think I can give the win to a team that is worse in everything else...

Femur in a close one...

 

[Nosferatu]

This one is tough, if I thought about it more I would probably change my mind another 3 or 4 times. I just gotta lean Jeffro...

 

[Mebert]

Whoever I take I end up not being happy with my pick. Both teams are awesome. In the end I think Jeffro's bats carry him

Femur

 

[jeffro151]

I don't understand where everyone is coming from in regards to my rotation being bad? Here are the career averages of our rotations:
Jeffro:
ERA: 3.27
K/9: 7.3
BB/9: 2.4
WHIP: 1.181

Femur:
ERA: 3.40
K/9: 7.3
BB/9: 2.5
WHIP: 1.207

 

[broncosmitty]

Femurov put together a fine rotation and bullpen. I liked Matusz added late for a long man.

This matchup would be so close but I'm leaning with the pitchibg advantage. Femur

 

[Pack 500]

I'm literally going back and forth just like everyone else. I should really just flip a coin. I'll lean Jeffro

 

[Ritzarmy]

Jeffro with his lineup is pitchers nightmare I feel.

Do the hitters, do the hitters!

 

[Nosferatu]

How come i'm 8th in WHIP when the numbers say I should be 6th?

 

[Nosferatu]

Oh and do pens

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Jeffro

 

[UK Cowboy]

Wow, this one is close. Really close. 7 games for sure, in the end, if all things are equal, go with the greatest player to make the big play when needed. I've got the Babe taking Mariano downtown in the bottom of the 9th for the win

Jeffro

 

[jeffro151]

How come i'm 8th in WHIP when the numbers say I should be 6th?

My bad. That puts you 6th overall with 22.

 

[jeffro151]

Do the hitters, do the hitters!

Maybe later, that was a lot of work.
