So you admit you have a history of mismanaging your ABs and probably your IPs. Come on Chicken, let's do better!!!
-
It's all a ploy for us to arb up Blackmon (for when he is cut at ~$36) so his actual value players won't get the bump.
-
Also, three years ago? 700 fewer AB than the winner. I've had most of my core pos. players that long and figured I could lose 3-4 years to play for 1st/2nd for 3. I don't take offense or feel any shame when you're like "hahahahah you can't get money in your own league."
-
Otto rebuilds are not like real life, I generally have a two year plan and Charlie the bearded wonder is in that plan.
-
I don't have one for this year. But then I don't declare Biggio incapable of success then a few weeks later shrug that off like I didn't say it.
-
Spare us the excuses. You seem to have a lot of them. I am sure you have one for ever year.
-
You know Chief won last year, right, on a salary under $300? The league going into this year was Chief then everyone else. This wasn't anyone's league to win this year unless some weird injury stuff happened to Chief.
-
Last year I got crushed by injury. I finished 400AB below everyone who beat me. The year before I got crushed by injury and had 700-900 fewer PA than the 5-6 people who finished above me. I didn't tear my team apart to try to finish 3rd or 4th the last two years, I sucked up my loss and kept them together for now and next year. What's your excuse, besides lecturing us about the virtue of long-term planning around expensive 34 year old bats?
-
Carrasco ($22), Suarez ($20), Didi ($10) available before deadline in a few days. 2020 August MVP Randal Grichuk ($4) also available. He's almost averaging as many points as Chuck Nasty.
-
And great job on mismanaging your team in a year you could be winning.
-
Easy, I look at the past standings in this league and you are absent from the top 3 every year. Enough said.
-
37.19% of my roster is either in the minors or on the IL but please, as someone 500 points behind me, tell me more.
-
And you come across as obsessive and mean spirited. You try to unilaterally not play for money this year and told me you have 10 votes to my 1 vote, which says a lot to me about you run your league. I think this all stems from your Otto insecurity because you can't consistently place in your own league. I am coming in to a bottom of the standing team and rebuilding it. Easy for you to talk smack about how I am not performing well when have had 8 years (?) to build your team.
-
My whole logic behind the Blackmon trade was to keep him for next year because he is $30 and an annual 1,000 point producer. I find OF is hard to fill and 3rd is easy to fill. Unfortunately, you have put words in my mouth as I never said - Blackmon is Ruth, I did it for this year, etc. I will talk all the smack I want to you Chicken. This is your precious league and you are not good enough to consistently finish 3rd, yet you talk like you are an Otto god.
-
Given those comments about Biggio and Blackmon, and the $17 James, and so on, the best way to duck the smack talk is: do better.
-
Which is not a personal attack, it's smack talk: my team is way better than your team. You can't talk shit about my team because my team is so much better than your team. If your team could get to 4 PT/IP (Kershaw might help, if you can work a trade) then you can maybe start to talk smack and spare us "Everyone knows Biggio doesn't have the hit tool to succeed."
-
You know we're making fun of you for your SSS overvaluation of Blackmon, yes? Esp at his age? And for your declaration that "everybody" knows that Josh James is The Next Randy Johnson? And your absolutism on other stuff. My team is all a bunch of pos players aged 25-29 (peak) who are largely way under market (Story, Turner, Yordan ((thanks!)), Voit, Moncada, Eloy, Verdugo) and that's by design and I'm stomping you even though I have less IP and AB so I'd maybe chill with absolutes.
-
Sorry chicken has me on defensive. I am actually pulling for Craig’s boy. Hope he has it figured out.
-
Again, I wasn't saying he's better lol. I think you missed the point. You stated that that trade was the worst. Ever. I'm simply offering evidence that that may have been a dramatic statement. That's all. it was intended to be funny. Not grossly offensive. Wasn't an attack by any means.
-
Yandy has been scoring really well at 3rd since I traded Nolan. Should I say Yandy is better than Nolan? No, no one would say that.
-
In no way, shape, or form am I saying Biggio > Yelich. I just think it's worth noting that I didn't make the worst trade ever.
-
I am really digging Charlie and Chicken’s small sample size analysis. It is very rich.
-
Christian Yelich 2020 - 150 Points | Cavan Biggio last 14 days - 133 Points
-
Again, the worst? Again, tying to attack someone over the internet. You just keep reiterating the point you made a few posts ago.
-
It would be funny. I’m not the one who acted like his civil rights were violated over a fantasy baseball league he just joined. So you’re gonna get the roomie treatment for a while.
-
And whatever your beef is, it would be funny if you end up with the prize money when you were forced to play the season for money when you wanted to sit it out.
-
But isn’t that you, the worst? You are the one attacking me on the internet. See who posted first today? See who can’t let it go.
-
Also, not angry one bit. Roasting you for fun b/c people who go on the attack on the internet are generally the worst.
-
It is funny. I'm like 100IP behind some people and lead the league in points on days I have 2 OF slot empty. So funny. That I'll cash in this precise (sic) little league in a year I don't want to play where I made 25% of my roster prospects.
-
And last funny note, I promise, you will probably win because Kershaw's 4.21 p/i is bringing Bob's pitching averages down.
-
And it is funny because you have been so vocal about what a crock this year is, and it looks like you could actually win your precise little league this year. We will all note it with an asterisk, noting that if it was a 162 game season, no way you would actually win.
-
Funny, the only thing we will probably agree on is that we both don't use slack. Keep trying to "roast" me. No one is buying it. Kershaw is at 4.21 p/i for the year, about what he was when I traded him. Nolan has done very little. The trade isn't as bad as you think it is. I will stop though. At this point, this is seems to be an anger issue you should work out with your therapist.
-
Unlikely I'll stop roasting that dude. (It's ok if you want to drop the $17 SP you overpaid for, who is on the IL with like -10 points on the season, Cavan. It's actually funnier that you refuse to cut such dead weight out of stupid pride than if you just cut him. *Everybody* on slack says so.)
-
Let it the EFF go, man.
-
Wow, Chicken, dance on that Hot-Plate!!! DANCE, Chicken, DANCE!!!
-
That's wild, man, he was Babe Ruth for like 2.5 weeks then it's like blam-O, as if a guy his age shouldn't sustain that or something and now I've got five guys with a higher wRC+ so I'm just confused b/c I thought Blackmon was gonna break baseball this year. Anyway, Kerhaw's last couple outings have been pretty darn good.
-
I heard he was caught within 6 feet of Nolan without a mask and caught whatever disease he had :)
-
I went to buy some milk today and Charlie Blackmon was on all the cartons, anyone know what the deal is with that?

Thanks for trying to get Chicken off topic Nuke.

I am done with this conversation. My team name tomorrow morning will say it all.

I wish I could have Nolan Arenado put up 33.5 points in a night and get a $41 loan to pay for it, so he's basically a freeroll. It's cool though b/c Kershaw sux now. #competitivebalance
-
Nuke all those things are fun except the manager wearing the uniform. I really like that the NBA bubble is like "Coaches go ahead and wear a polo." I think MLB could crib from that. I don't need to see a man in his 50s or 60s in polyester capri pants and stirrup socks.
-
Dog, I didn't want James, LOL, I was texting with Snells/Antibodies during the auction like "how much do you think this guy is willing to go for this ancient 'prospect'?" and $17 was the point where I figured if I went $18 I might get stuck with him, and the absolute last thing I wanted was to be stuck with that mediocre-at-best pitcher in the high teens like you are now. Esp considering how many good-to-great P are owned for under $10 in this league.
-
And Love thy neighbor like thy neighbor loves Charlie Blackmon and Josh James.
-
Yeah, nice stuff to read. Love me some baseball. Sad about this season but optimistic for 2021 and beyond. Love the smack talk too ;-)

<3 well done, Nuke

The way the middle infielder fakes a throw coming in to get a base runner to slow down ... and the way the base runner almost never falls for it.
-
The tension and sense of danger that builds when the third baseman is playing all the way in for the bunt.
