Good luck with Cashner. Eovaldi didn't like his change of scenery. I'll get him back on track!

... and on another note, did I ever mention how terrible Mike Scioscia is? Ibanez cleaning up again tonight! And that's why I dropped Cron.

But Ibanez is an RBI machine.....

I'm about to................sure could use his power next week against TREFF's speed machine...........Mike needs to let him get into a groove!

I think the Angels have three LHP on schedule for next week... there's three starts, but how can he justify sitting Ibanez against RHP? It's not like Raul is a wily veteran who knows how to handle pinch hitting, and could use a "break" to get into August and September... oh wait, ...

Yeah but for 3 starts I have a better chance of starting Norris and getting more points.....

I think you be safe either way Sammy, my teams in a free fall.. and I think it'll get worse before it gets better.

You're the last person I expected to grab Panda. Good pickup, though. Kinda sucks that Crawford has fallen so far, I always liked that guy.

Well, I didn't Draft the guy cuz I thought he was bad. and at the least, I can say. .REV might beat me 9-1, but I traded him Pablo for VMart and Pablo!

 

[Chef99]

Sigh...did it again with the stupid, needless waiver moves!

Don't think anyone was gonna take a chance with Stroman and his over 12 ERA next week, anyway.

However, if my claim had gone through, I would have taken Panda and not activated Eaton until next week.

Good luck this weekend Fuzzy. I gotta say I didn't think I'd be in it this long but the 2 pitching cats I thought I'd win are looking mighty scary right now..........

Paraphrasing "The Exorcist"...

Gio! Why you do this to me, Gio!

 

[TKOSpikes]

Ahh baseball... Mark Buerhle continues to dominate even teams like the Rangers, while Kershaw gets rocked by the D'Backs. If I could explain it, I would.

Insert Kershaw for Gio, way to open the door and ruin a great week

So, I have an honest question (this is from the guy that grabbed Richards then dropped him): Why was I able to grab Simon and Koehler off the wire so easily? Are these guys just considered match up plays? Yeah, they've each had a shitty game in the last few starts but they seem pretty solid. I imagine Simon lose his spot soon but dude has looked good. So, not being a smart ass at all just wondering what I'm missing...................which is probably a lot..............lol.

Simon is overachieving. He has some talent, but has never really started before and has not really been dominant as a reliever either.

As for Koehler, he does not get enough K's to be more than a replacement level pitcher. He is the ideal 2 start matchup play, but nobody is going to give up anything of value to acquire him.

Richards is a breakout stud. He has the Ks and his stuff is filthy.

I agree with everything here, but especially about Richards. Tried to snag him from TKO's plethora of pitchers, but he wasn't having it. :rollseyes:

... Simon has pitched pretty well in a Reds uniform actually, but the biggest thing with him is that his time will soon be up (if Latos ever gets healthy). He had a streaky stretch back in Baltimore too, but yes, he's pitching over his head.

I think we're all taking Koehler for granted though... he's probably last year's Travis Wood.

I like Richards' heat. Yes Chef (and others), he will be hard to snag.

and thank you Reds management for delaying the inevitable with Votto and making me drop Montero to activate Cingrani! like your gonna throw your biggest contract out on the field with a "sore" knee/quad. drives me crazy!

I am giving the Dodgers permission to give Puig the day off today. He seems awfully tired after hitting all those HRs this week.
