[Nosferatu]

Hockey - 6
Nos - 3

Voted - Mebert, Ritz, Shane, UK, Hockey, Milk, EHB, Nos, WLK

 

[Mebert]

Nos. Pitching V Bats, I take Pitching

 

[Ritzarmy]

Hockey.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Hockey in a close one. Both really good teams but I don't think the pitching disparity makes a huge difference even though Nos has that advantage.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Hockey. His pitching is competitive and he has a great offense

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I've gotta go me here.

My lineup is so strong and my pitching while not amazing is deep with a lot of "very good" guys.

And I love my bullpen and defense.

Obviously I like Nos squad seeing as I even took him over my other team. But I love this team of mine with its versatility.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Hockey's 3-5 hitters are SPECIAL and his 2-6 hitters are great. But that is all I like from his lineup. That is huge. But I would say the rest of his lineup is pretty weak. Nos is more balanced 1-9 and despite having a weak 3-5 is a much deeper lineup.
Nellie fox is a terrible lead off and will overall hurt this offense but with that said, you really have to say hockey's offense is better. I just don't think it is by as much as some would think.

Hockey's rotation is great, but I think he loses every matchup to nos' rotation. Richard vs tanana is very close though.

Both bullpens are strong, but neither are game changers Would have been nice to see better long relievers for both teams.

And both teams have very strong defense, but hockey gets the edge there.

This is as close as it comes.

And when it is close I usually go with balance and I think that is clearly nos. or I can go the anti- nos way since I laugh at whenever he has the worse offense and he generally votes for offense.

I think I will go nos here because I think his rotation is more SPECIAL than hockey's offense is.

But if I had two picks I would have split them.

You don't like having two guys at the bottom of the order who can steal bags like crazy as the lineup turns over?

I guess you can vote against my team. But lack of balance is literally the last thing.

I've got speed, power, average, righty/lefty, clutch pitchers, a bullpen full of guys experienced setting up and closing, righty/lefty.

If the beam was anymore balanced I'd jump off out of boredom.

I don't like non power hitters with low OBPs even if they steal bases. Actually especially if they are base stealers. This is why I talk about walks so much.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

And what I mean about balance is what I explained that I think you have a weak offense outside of your 2-6.

It feels like you won the first 3 rounds of the draft and then said my first 3 picks are so good I will just throw players into my lineup who are bleh. And my team will still be great. And you are right your team is great. I just think nos had a better draft. Getting some great values later on. Where I don't think you had a great draft after the 3rd round.

Well Crawford obviously wasn't the Incredible Hulk but the guy was slugging .450 or higher through those prime base stealing years.

Homers, doubles and triples.

No I threw guys in who play defense, steal bases and hit for average.

It just seems that you are delirious of the fact.

not sure why you are butt hurt about me picking against you. I vote the same way in every vote you should know that I love top of the lineup and I dont look at the 3-4 hitters as much as most here.

Butt hurt?

It's you trying to accuse me of throwing together "bleh" when I specifically showed balance.

Alcides Escobar. That's fucking all.

Nos

 

[Nosferatu]

I have always said offense wins. I love Hockey's 2 - 6, his pitching isn't as good as mine but it's honestly not bad either.

I gotsta lean Hockey here.

 

[wlk3]

I got Hockey in a tight one... I like his offense more...
