I'll amend the amount of DL spots if there's a consensus to do so. I'm easy either way. It's a pain, but it's manageable. I can only imagine how helpful this comment has been to you.

It's started to tighten up a wee bit now, hopefully that'll keep it interesting! 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 in our division this week so it could look a bit more competitive (if results go the right way)!

k-ton Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 With the All Star break approaching I just wondered how everyone else had enjoyed the first half of the season? Who's been a stand out in your team? Any big disappointments? Optimistic for making play offs or writing the season off? Personally I've been getting right into it, much more than I expected to. Mookie has overcome a slowish start and is now scoring me big points every week. Had a couple other decent but more unexpected high performers... Ervin Santana (though he's fading now) and Zack Cozart particularly. Bumgarner is still my biggest let down, but that asshole should finally be back pitching in the Majors soon. I'd say I'm an outside bet for a play-off spot, but I reckon my line up is still a bit too thin / inconsistent to challenge this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJock Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Mixed bag from all my players really. Trea Turner has gone from a disappointment to a superstar to a broken bone. Eric Thames was an early season monster but may be turning back into a pumpkin now, and all of my pitching has been terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Inconsistent. I think that charge could be levelled at most teams though. Our division is definitely the weaker of the two and I'm 7-6 so still in with a shout. Can't see past Fidel's Astros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I've found hardest is adjusting the line up week to week to account for the schedule and likely starters etc. The weeks you get that wrong you can score some seriously shit points. Agree that Fidel's Astros have it pretty well sewn up, but being a Morton (and Mets) fan I'll continue to dream of the impossible.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I've found that of one of your ace starters has a bad start, you pretty much lose the week. Fewer points for starters and more for for relievers next time, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're saying, though seeing as my only ace pitcher injured his stupid ass early doors I've been relying on a staff of above average guys who've done ok by and large, but a couple of weeks they've all had a mare and my points have been utter pish. It's also taken me weeks to get good points from bats.. a few other tweaks maybe - or maybe just tweak my strategy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-ton Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 My MetsMetsMets has 3 players in the all star starting line ups. Who all did better than that? Anyone watching the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 4 wins on the spin. I'm a bit annoyed that there's a round of fixtures this week. They'd have been as well patching this week to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the added wildcard that Bumgarner is making noises about wanting to pitch at the weekend having completed rehab.. can't quite decide whether to include him or not!

Aye you've been flying but those are both tough losses. Don't think we're playing each other for a few weeks yet though so I probably won't benefit!

Unbelievable. As if losing Kershaw and Cueto isn't enough (and Matt Shoemaker before them!), my pitching staff has now lost Andrew Miller and Michael Fullmer to the DL with Gio Gonzalez day to day. You couldn't make it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
