I’m checking the scores this morning, I’m somewhat relieved I resisted the lure of Big Sexy (for one more week at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowshed Chris Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Noticed we have two top of the table clashes this week - interesting stuff. Still no trade offers on Cano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no trade offers on Cano. One going to the wire, one not so much. Gven how Bellenger has played since I traded for him I’m tempted to offer you him for Cano. However, given how Bellenger has played since I traded for him I can’t guarantee he’s not also on drugs. Just not performance enhancing ones.

It’s all about the two start weeks. Get 40 odd points from two pitchers and you’re going to have a good week. One clunker can ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get 40 odd points from two pitchers and you’re going to have a good week. One clunker can ruin it. Definitely. I’ve had a shocking few weeks for streaming 2 starters, it’s back fired every time. And I’ve lost every week. First few weeks I was lucky every time. If I get Bumgarner back (and Ray also) then along with Severino I’ve a decent foundation to my pitching. I finally got an actual reliever this week with Knebel returning and Britton might not be far behind. Hopefully soon I’ll have actual options.

k-ton Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 The frequency at which players I cut are immediately picked up by others is not exactly filling me with confidence. Might be why I’m 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 This has become quite a competitive league. I won my latest game by two points (helped by my opponent's team seeming to go to sleep for three days), and we have five teams within one game of each other now.

It really has, it’s very hard to predict which weeks you’ll win. Seems like all it takes is a poor outing from a starting pitcher or an injury to a key hitter and you’re sunk. Wouldn’t like to guess who’ll win it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placidcasual Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Just six weeks left and probably only two teams out of contention. Little Lebowski Urban Achievers on a 5 game win streak as well. It's shaping up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had about 11 pitching starts vs his 5 and I still only won by 50 points! I’ll be surprised if my streak doesn’t end this week but here’s hoping.

Probably means a team going spare next year but I'll figure it out at the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Am I right in thinking that this week is a shortened one? I know that Yahoo combines this week into next week for scoring purposes, but I seem to recall our league counts three games (for most teams) as a complete week? Just checking, because this makes roster changes even more important than usual. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
