I appreciated your bum hitters last week as they made my bum hitters look average instead of their normal moribund selves. Nothing like “winning” the average category with a .243 average.

Thursday, April 1st is Opening Day

So we are starting from scratch tonight, meaning no keepers from previous seasons. Is the intention to keep one player from this year’s team going forward into next season?

I haven’t played roto in over a decade and wouldn’t mind playing in that format again if you are in need of players. Besides, gives me another chance at finishing second in a fantasy baseball league.

Good. Glad you got that out of your system last week. Fantasy baseball’s “unwritten rules” indicate it is a requirement to fall back to the norm following such lopsided wins.

Which means he is guaranteed to fail in his debut on Sunday.

Yeah, I don’t think six bench spots is cutting it. I had more than six players on my roster not playing this weekend just due to Covid cancellations. Add on a actual DTD or two, then you are not close to fielding a competitive roster. On a different note, who would have thought my best draft...

Don’t forget the Phillies, Blue Jays, Nationals, and Brewers who are all affected. And now more individual players are opting out, like my former outfielder Lorenzo Cain. I can‘t even field a full team with all of the postponements. If it weren’t for the fact that I have missed sports for 4...

30 minutes till draft time. In my 20+ years of playing fantasy sports, never have I felt least excited for a fantasy draft.

I agree with this. Every manager would only play half the teams head to head and that doesn’t sound reasonable (not that there is a reasonable answer this year). IMO roto scoring is the way to go for this condensed season. Hell, at this rate, MLB will be lucky to play any games.

My wife is a professor at Radford University and we have been to many games over the past few years, including the Big South championship game a couple years ago when Carlik hit the game winning three pointer to punch Radford’s ticket to the Big Dance. The kid is a big shot taker and a big shot...

I was hoping for a St. Patty’s Day draft because I would clean up on you lushes attempting to draft a six pack in. Then I realized said lushes would probably draft better a six pack in, so yeah, the current draft time works for me...

So I am commish of a league of my fraternity brother friends and they wanted a random draw, but didn’t like knowing where they were picking 30 minutes before the draft when Yahoo randomly assigns the pick. So three or four days before our draft, I recorded my daughter picking names out of a hat...

Just realized you added K/9 not replaced? Any thought given to just having K/9 then having OPS by combining OBP and SLG? I vote for random draw. We faced this issue in one of my fantasy football leagues and we did a random draw out of a hat for the draft order. Probably in the minority in that...

I guess am more about quality than quantity when it comes to pitching. I feel that if you want to chase wins, then good luck because that category is unpredictable and unreliable. However, strikeouts are another thing altogether. It doesn’t take much skill to bludgeon your opponent to death by...

:slappy: Like there is “talent” in fantasy sports. It is a combination of a whole keg full of luck combined with spending waaaaaay too much time paying attention to metrics. Essentially I have too much free time and/or place too high priority on this giant time suck. And all that has...

4 L’s in a row :bonk: 2-6 in the finals now, I still contend more like the 90’s Braves than anything though. Congrats @Smudger! Still don’t know how I went from winning all six hitting categories on Thursday to losing them all after Sunday.

I can’t believe those flaming turds pulled it off. Even two relief wins today. Crazy. I did owe you an underdog playoff win after beating me in the finals last year though. Haha. Now it is time to go all 90’s Braves in the finals again!

It is coming down to the wire and I am up 1 total base. I could lose the entire week solely because I didn’t realize Segura wasn’t going to play and I left Hosmer on the bench with his 6 total bases today. BTW, why did you bench all of your pitchers today?

Considering how Milwaukee scored their runs in the first inning and never trailed, it should be the pitcher that finished the fifth inning as the pitcher of record. In this case, that was Matt Albers. Guerra should have earned a hold for keeping the lead that was three runs or fewer...
