[TheRobotDevil]

Both great teams I got nos by a hair that Mays Ruth combo is nasty. Campy may have ben the steal of the draft imo. Vampire

 

[femurov]

Me.

 

[Shanemansj13]

This is my take, not drunk yet btw.

Nos has the best lineup I have ever seen in these mocks. I feel if he could have filled out his bullpen a little bit more he wins this, his rotation is just good enough. Boner’s still has a nasty lineup and his 1-4 rotation is pretty damn good.

Boner in another very very tight one

 

[Nosferatu]

Is Sandy Better than Perry, yep no question but it's not like Perry sucked.
Is Palmer better than Blyleven, yep but not by much at all and an argument can be made they are about even.
Is Newhouser better than Catfish, I don't think so, when Newhouser won his two MVP's a lot of the top players were off fighting in a war.
Was Marichal better than Bunning yep, but again not by a lot.
Was Saberhagen better than Key, sure I guess but Key was a little underrated in my opinion.

Now look at the lineups 1-9 there is not one spot I would pick his guy over mine aside from maybe 5.

Also his pen is better but not holy shit better.

My bench is put together better IMO.

My lineup just might be the best lineup of all time in these mocks and if he had a rotation of Walter, Christy, Lefty, Hubbell, Marichal then I would say yeah okay, thats fucking crazy good but he doesn't. I am just way to strong 1-9

I gots me

My bench is much better, I have players on the bench that can actually contribute, his bench is filler.

This is some kind of propaganda lol. In what world is Bert arguably even with Palmer? Palmer has more Cy Young’s than Bert has all-star games and has an ERA almost 50 points better. Neither is Bunning close to Marichal. 40 points behind in ERA. Hunter isn’t better than Newhouser although that’s a much better argument
I vote Femur.

Funny no mention of the hitters.

 

[tducey]

Femur.

 

[Nosferatu]

Okay you win I change my vote to Femur, Jim Palmer is just to much.

 

[Nosferatu]

I lost to a team starting Smoky Burgess in an open draft, lolzzz

 

[Ritzarmy]

I got Nos cuz of his lineup. His rotation is slightly weaker but feel his hitters make it up.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Femur, best team from go

 

[wlk3]

Apparently I can’t sulk in my loss because I have to vote and order an Uber for Walker and stop Reid from stealing my phone and lol fine give me a second... this is a tough one fuckers!

 

[TheRobotDevil]

I lost to a team starting Smoky Burgess in an open draft, lolzzz

I did too

But I'm blaming Kenny Lofton

Hold on... If you can play that game with the pitching, I can play that game with the lineup...

Morgan vs Speaker is a lot closer than Sandy vs Perry.
Vlad vs Hornsby goes to him, but it's not like Vlad sucked.
Babe vs Musial, we're talking about a top 10 all time guy vs the GOAT.
Willie vs Frank? Top 5 vs top 20.
Griffey over Mize by a solid margain.
Clemente vs Kiner, you could argue Clemente.
Killer vs Mathews. Pretty close.
Roy over Smoky.
Boudreau over Nomar.

I think the overall difference in our lineups is smaller than the overall difference in our rotations.

A rematch of the 1960 World Series.

Nos 3 wins are all by 7 or more runs, but Femur sneaks out 4 1 run wins to take the championship.

 

[Nosferatu]

Not to be more of an ass hole than i've already been but I don't give a fuck.


Congrats Femur, I did text Ford the winners.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Funny no mention of the hitters.

Greatest lineup in these mocks but the starting rotation instead close and BP is even worse if a mismatch imo. It’s not like Femur’s lineup is just good, still a top 3 in this mock imo behind mine. You are basically you win bc you have a great lineup, but his pitching advantages are greater than your hitting advantages imo. Like I said before you put even just a couple more reliable BP guys in there and you probably win.

Your 2-5 starters are basically never picked in mocks or picked very late. Bert is basically only picked in cap drafts.

Koufax >>>>> Perry
Palmer >>>> Bert
Newhouser >> Catfish
Marichal >>> Bunning
Saberhagen >> Key

Still the greatest lineup made but Femur had a nasty 1-4 and also a great lineup
