[Nosferatu]

I've gone back and forth on this one, I really love the Puckett, Foxx, Jr, Killer part of that lineup but people don't seem to remember how good Simmons was or how good Sisler was, Hockey has a very good rotation as well but Femur's is just a touch better. I gotta lean Femur. Great game.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I went back and forth on this one as well. Femur in a close one.

 

[Mebert]

Hockey

 

[Ritzarmy]

Wow this one can go either way just like Nos. I give to Hockey in game 7. I picked fem, then hockey, then back in forth on this one. Damn I hate picking against femur's team but just feel hockey as a very very slight edge in overall talent.

This is the one where while fems team is awesome. The match up in a head to head form just simply favors me in my opinion.

My lineup depth, defense and a match up bullpen offsets his starters edge.

Got me here.

I went back and forth on that one. I thought your lineups were pretty similar, defense is your edge but I thought pitching was the deciding factor.

In my matchup, I thought I had the advantage at every aspect except WLK had a better lineup. I guess one factor determines the results.

Yeah the big thing though for me was some of my bottom of order guys actually add success against his big pitchers. Which in the match up also just adds to my lineup depth. So Parrish I gonna have to be elite throwing guys out because a guy like Crawford who owned Halladay will be on base turning my lineup over to the guys who will hit.

.300 average guys with speed and power mixed with defense isn't going to lose to many rotations much less one that isn't completely stacked.

It's my opinion of course but I kinda drafted for this type of match up.

Blame Nos for my belief that hitting is most important... However, when a team is completely superior with its pitching that changes things... In this case that's not the case... I think Hockey has just enough to outscore Fem... I really like Hockey's team by the way... Hockey in 7

 

[Pack 500]

I'll go Femur with Joe Nathan blowing a save in game 7.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Hockey in a good series. One of Femurs better teams IMO

Hockey
