ZeroTolerance 582 Posted September 17, 2016 Kinsler just finished me off when he knocked Carrasco out one batter into the game. Another 2nd place regular season followed by an injury shortened playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was able to throw three starters today, my only one faced one batter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted September 18, 2016 youre tied 8-8 with homefield seeding advantage. you can easily take the following: holds, wins, homeruns.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted September 18, 2016 7-8, but still closer than expected thanks to the double choke of Tillman and Gonzalez. RBI and wins are in play, HRs are a bit of a long shot with Indians offense vs Orioles offense. Holds are a problem because I really only have one player who has picked up a hold in the last few weeks. Orioles might be more competitive in the playoffs than my team is now that Salazar and Carrasco are both done for the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted September 18, 2016 when i looked it was 8-8 but i guess he picked off another category. I didnt really look at your team and his team makeup when saying which categories were in reach I just saw you were 1 hold back which I know can easily swing to a draw. and 1 HR back which can easily swing to a draw or win. plus being tied in wins I assumed you had at least 1 SP going. i think we reshuffle for round 2? If not then good luck. If we do then good luck but not TOO much luck since an orioles win would keep me from facing Boston Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted September 22, 2016 really really stellar job by my pitching staff this week. couple that with the fact that half my team isn't playing twice this week but boston seems to play every day and i've got no shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted September 27, 2016 I meant to comment on this last year, but maybe something we can look at for 2017: ending the season one week earlier. This is kind of like NFL week 17 right now as teams who have clinched rest their starters and teams who are out of the playoffs shut down anyone who is day-to-day. Just using the Indians as an example (in this case, it didn't matter as my team lost in the first round), they are already sitting five starters tonight with 6 games to play. Meanwhile the Dodgers and Red Sox are in the title game, but LA is already resting starters while Boston is still playing everyone to try for home field advantage. It just seems kind of lame for the championship game to potentially be decided by which team has clinched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted September 27, 2016 agreed on one hand but then again I think of a team like the Rays who havnt had anything to play for in a while and roll out whacky lineups and relievers in the 6th 7th 8th etc that didnt get much play early in the season and those owners have to deal with the opposite end of the clinched / out of it spectrum .... playing random guys just to get a look at them for 2017 etc..

bbascom 20 Posted September 28, 2016 Good luck Boston (not that you need it!), once again I'm playing you when the Sox are on a major roll, I'll do my best to be competitive Good luck to you as well. We shall see what happens. I agree with Zero that it sucks to play our league into the last couple of weeks of the regular season as teams are starting to rest players already which is certainly happening in your case. Either way, good luck this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbascom 20 Posted October 3, 2016 Congrats boston Thanks WhiteWonder. It got a little scary in the middle of the week, Estimated Dodger gave me a run for my money. It seemed like Boston was going to sit a lot of starters for a few games this week but they didn't thankfully. It was interesting these last few weeks though. It was my pitching that really kept me going rather than the beginning of the year when my batting was carrying me. It was a great year for my team for sure. Thanks again everyone for such a fun and engaging fantasy baseball league. Hope to play again next year. Good luck to all of those rooting for a team in the playoffs. GO SOX!!!
