[Nosferatu]

RITZY = Milk, 500, Gold
UK = Nos, UK, WLK, Ritz

 

[Nosferatu]

Rose tilts this one towards UK for me...

 

[UK Cowboy]

Two balanced teams. I had them ranked closely on a point basis. In a 7 game series, I like my team to win. I think my lineup is a little stronger, and I think I'm a little stronger on the Rotation and the pen

UK

 

[wlk3]

I had UK 1, Ritz 2... Sorry Ritzy, UK in 7...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

great matchup... 2 of the strongest teams in this competition...

All comparisons are very close... But I would take Ritz rotation over UKs, Ritz bench over UKs...

I would take UKs bullpen over Ritz, and probably his offense too...

But because I like Ritz 1-2 punch in his lineup much more than UKs, I think his 3-4 hitters would have more RBI chances, and would likely be able to score more...

So in a Very close battle I think I am going Ritz, but this is as close as any matchup could be...

I think I have better HR hitters but your team has better small ball guys who could easily make a run on runs. I think our rotations are the best of everyone's and have us tied. I think in a 7 game series it would come down to game 7 where UK would win it in extra innings where Pete Rose would hit a single up the middle and score molitor from 2nd.

No doubt and it would be with two outs, but Rose would be thrown out at 2nd trying to stretch it into a double before Molitor scored, yer up Ritz!

 

[Pack 500]

Ritz's rotation gives him a slight edge to me

 

[UK Cowboy]

The fun of these drafts is building the teams. The voting is tough and subjective. Nolan Ryan is front and center. Nolan was inconsistent much of his career, had some bad years, some average ERA's.....but.....if you caught him on a night when he had control, it wouldn't matter who the other team had, he'd no hit them. It's always a guess in these

I think UK and my team were the top 2 in the league. Just sucked playing you so now I only can possibly earn 3rd place. I would love to play gold or Wlk in a 7 game series. Just the luck of the draw sometimes. I might have won this matchup if I said I would intentionally hit Rose when he came to the plate.

I don't think you are giving yourself enough credit. If you voted for yourself, it would be 3-3. If you want to change your vote, I have no objection

I'll analyze it more after work. Thanks

I had you 2 being in the top 3... I thought me and pack were also top 4 teams and each of us would have had trouble beating eachother... THe other 4 teams I did not like at all... Sorry WLK,GOLD, NOS, BUMS...

I had the same last 4

 

[Gold Rush 86]

I'm going with Ritz in this one. I feel like he has the better pitching rotation and the batting lineups are pretty even. I do feel UK has the stronger bullpen.

You want to set up our own championship?

 

[Nosferatu]

Who's better by position offensively
C = Nos
1B = Milk
2B = Nos
SS = Push
3B = Nos
LF = Nos
CF = Milk
RF = Nos
DH = Push

Gold Gloves
Nos - 15
Milk - 1

MVP's
Nos - 9
Milk - 3

Who's better in the rotation

I honestly believe our rotations are as close as it can get.

Gold Gloves
Nos = 25
Milk = 2

MVP's
Nos = 2
Milk = 0

Cy Young's
Nos = 7
Milk = 5

Explain again how your team is better!!!

 

[Nosferatu]

40 - 3 in Gold Gloves, lolzzz
11 - 3 in MVP's

People at work are looking at me funny cuz i'm literally laughing out loud....................

 

[MilkSpiller22]

lets start with the top of your order... Dave concepcion had a career .322 OBP... Having him at top is just pathetic...

the better team is not based on better players, it is how those players fit on the team... Like I have stated earlier many times, the middle of the order is only as good as the players before them because those are the players they drive in... So even though I agree that Ted Williams is the best offensive player on the field... I would take my middle of the lineup over yours any day because my top was just so much better... It is not like my middle of the lineup was bad, it was great...

So my offense was better... I will agree our rotations were close, and you had the better bullpen and bench...

But I would take my offense over yours any day... Both of our 6-9 hitters were fine, nothing great...
I don't judge by awards...
