Thanks, as always tlance!

Good game Rev. I'll take 5-5 any day right now.

I have to admit, part of me was hoping for the cheap win :rollseyes:. Good Game.

Good luck this week Rev!

Back at you chef. I pulled Holt from my lineup since Drew was back, didn't see he was gonna play first until it was too late. Watch Holt go off this week..........on my bench

I didn't realize until today that Fudpuckers has Billy Hamilton & Dee Gordon (and some Everth Cabrera sprinkled on top). Go Speed Racer Go.

And EY Jr. When he returns (if he has a job w when that time comes)

Two of the four have been on the block but everyone keeps asking for guys I have no interest in dealing. I feel like a member of congress. ."just say no" no matter how good it sounds. I like to trade. . Just not necessarily the guys who are not on the block.

Great work as usual Tlance.. and good luck to you in our "friendly" this week.. yes a soccer term, even though I loathe the sport.

What's up with Danny Duffy..TKO drops him.. He flirts with a prefect game for 7 innings. So, given his RP status, he looked like a strong pickup facing the save punters. Well, not so fast, he sucked, so I dump him. And then what? Yeah, another gem while he sits on waivers

 

[TKOSpikes]

You're up 2-0, man on first and second, two outs, you're the third baseman, you get a nice belt-high bouncer behind the bag, you...

A. Beat the runner (in this case, Kershaw) to 3rd and continue running in the dugout because the inning's over!
B. Why the hell would you do anything else? LOL ... ask Conor Gillaspie, because he threw to 1st, bounced it, and now they're batting around the order and down 4-2.

 

[TKOSpikes]

yeah, Duffy is the epitome of inconsistency...

meanwhile, Masterson decides to come out and play................. on my bench!!! ...we'll see how my wonderful pick up of a two-start Arrieta will replace that!

For a "friendly" your guys are not being very hospitable thus far.

Also, if an exhibition match is a "friendly", then what do they call it when the games count for real? A meany?

Another Foamy Rant.........Be Happy

 

[Philabuster5]

Is there any mention of Myers in that rant Rev? Ha

Sigh...three players I targeted in all my drafts...Myers, Pedroia and Fielder.

No recap this week, but it has been awhile since we did the league to league comparison.

Runs: A 3776 vs. B 3644- A by 132
HR: A 894, vs. B 857- A by 37
RBI: A 3541 vs. B 3432- A by 109
SB: A 573 vs. B 563- A by 10
OBP: A .333 vs. B .332- A by .001

Wins: A 353 vs. B 333- A by 20
Ks: A 5192 vs. B 5029- A by 163
Saves: A 296 vs. B 304- B by 8
ERA: A 3.58 vs. B 3.61- A by .03
WHIP: A 1.24 vs. B 1.25- A by .01

Total- A 9 vs. B 1

Some of these leads are getting pretty large. The prospect league looks destined to promote 2 this season.

By the way, an interesting side note:

In both leagues, the first place team has a pretty large lead on the field. In both leagues, those first place teams sit 6th in the roto standings. Are they extremely lucky, or just good at playing matchups?

Probably a little of both. Look out for 2nd half regression though!

I know for me, I am strong in Speed and pitching... But I am not just strong, I am great... But the stats I am bad at I am pretty bad at... As it doesn't matter what place you are in per category, I could potentially lose HRs, and RBIs every week...

Bogaerts, Singleton and Taveras to carry me the rest of the way.... just as I planned. well...not really.

Wow...sucks that you ended up dropping Myers, but it's a pretty lousy situation. The only reason I'm hanging onto him in our keeper is because, well, it's a keeper.

I don't think I've ever seen a team riddled with as many injuries as yours, but I"ll give ya credit, you keep getting something done.

Of course, I like to think that I helped. :rollseyes:

 

[TREFF]

I see the deal chef. . Am intrigued will look deeper here shortly

 

[Reverend Jim]

Chef, I had no real interest in Lind but had no need for Wong either. Best of luck with him.

Nice doing business with you fellas. Believe it or not, I have a plan.

Btw Treff, nice pickup on McHugh. I think. We'll see.

You have no idea how many times I almost pulled the trigger on that guy. :rollseyes:

Thanks. .Sammy sniped him. Off waivers in front of me a lil while back, I didn't even notice that he dropped him till then. Guy might not pitch deep into games, may not be a great source of W's in Houston. . But the kid is dealing thus far!

Btw.. I've now transformed Sandoval into VMART and Beckett. Works for me
