So do you prefer nailing those who are under 22?
-
I am guessing you all saw my two trades, but if you're tooling up for a stretch run, cone on down to Crazy Chris's Fire Sale, where pretty much no one over 22 is nailed! Do you have Baseball America Or Fangraphs top prospects? Do you want someone who can help you now? Hit me up!
-
Well, it will be until someone hits their IP cap (hint: not me) ... same deal with G, although I am unlikely to hit my cap at positions other than C.
-
This is a heck of a tight race gentlemen. Good work and keep it up.
-
Yep - Daniel Altavilla posted a -40.90 last Saturday: 1 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 1 HBP, 0 BB, 1 K, 3 HR. Fortunately he is anchored to my bench, since he's averaging about 2 P/IP and about 3 HR/9.

So my pitcher scored -37.40 last night. That's fun. Got me thinking...is that the worst pitcher scoring performance in our league this year? Can anyone top that?
-
FYI, as players from the MLB draft are signed, they're added into the player pool. If AJ Bumpass signs, I'm starting the auction and changing my team name.
-
I have 11 people on the DL and Freddie Freeman just broke his wrist and is out for 10 weeks. It was a fun league while it lasted!

When my 12 guys come back from injury I'm really going to be a force to be reckoned with.

I like to think of myself as an optimist!
-
OTOH, if your available options are posting steady -3s to -5s ... well, the scant possibility of positive numbers in the future is better than the certainty of negative numbers in the past.
-
Friendly reminder: keep an eye on your "Games Played" breakdown at the bottom of the lineup page. You want to be sure you don't get too far behind in projected games played for each position. It isn't hard to make up games at catcher or innings pitched, but getting too far behind at 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, MI, or OF can be killer to your point total.

That's correct - the Roster Organizer is useful for that, as well as planning out any prospective moves. Note that marking someone as "Cut" on the Roster Organizer doesn't actually cut them. It's primarily an off-season tool, so it does not reflect the cap hits you incur when you cut a player during the season.
-
Helpful tip: if you are over the 40-man limit and you're getting frustrated because the site keeps redirecting you to the Cut Players page without showing you which ones to cut, the Roster Organizer is your friend - it shows the same stats your lineups page does, and it's not locked down when you're over 40. (Players or years old.)
-
We're just over two weeks in and I hope everyone is enjoying the league so far! From a commissioner's perspective, thanks to everyone for being consistently active. If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to send them my way. Good luck!

Rich Hill leaves another start with a blister. Whatever he's doing, he's doing it wrong.

Pineda is devil magic. Ricky Nolasco all over again.
-
$5 for Pineda, Paul? Looking pretty good right now.
-
See, Kevin Gausman is a perfect fit for my team.
-

Ah, the joys of being a developer on a sports site. Looks like the feed is live-ish again. (About the same as the bottom of the MLB.tv page, which is oddly behind the live feed; probably because the page uses the same API that Fangraphs uses.)
-
Nope, you aren't the only one. Someone else posted about it on Slack. Looks like they've already pinged Niv (the guy who runs the site)
-
It's typical early-season stuff, though. A couple of hours before first pitch on Sunday, Yahoo didn't show any players for Sunday's games. I don't know when they fixed it (I set my lineups on Saturday), but I'm sure they heard about that from a lot of people!
-
ah, it's not just me. I see a forum post about it. Anything in Slack? I haven't signed up yet, mostly because I don't want another communication service that I use for exactly one purpose (although given how terrible Skype for Business for Mac is at work, we might consider it), but it'd be interesting to see other people posting about it.
-
Weird - mine were about 3-6 outs behind, but then they stopped updating as of top 10th in the Toronto-Baltimore game. Could be a caching thing, although I don't see any cookies that might affect that. (I've seen some sites that will stop updating after X minutes unless you refresh the page.)
-
Mine seem to be updating reasonably well. I think they pull their data from Rotowire, but I'm not sure what kind of lag is there.
-
Fangraphs seems to be running a bit behind in terms of "live" data. It's funny, I'm used to online feeds being behind fantasy feeds ...

Random draw for the 13-run pool I'm in was yesterday. I got the Reds. I'm ... going to pay my money and call it a day.

Happy baseball day everyone - don't forget to set your lineups.

Welcome all! I'll be sending along an e-mail soon with some things to keep in mind as we head toward the draft.
