posty 2,296 Posted June 30, 2020 Got to love having three players opt-out for the season... Though Zimmerman isn't a real loss IMO and probably the same for Ross...

posty 2,296 Posted July 7, 2020 I wouldn't have a problem with just canceling the season... Even if they do play, I would be all for canceling the homers league this year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,296 Posted July 7, 2020 Good grief, sometimes Yahoo is just stupid... Their "notes": Due to the reduced number of games played during All Star week, innings-pitched requirements are waived from Thursday, Jul 9 through Sunday, Jul 19. Active pitchers will be credited with all stats earned during this period regardless of total innings pitched, although at least one pitching appearance is required to win ERA and/or WHIP.

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted July 8, 2020 My personal suggestion would be to see if there is a dodgers fan interested in taking over the team for this shortened season. if not, we can cancel and regroup next year. I think we’ve all been looking forward to this as a sign of normalcy but it certainly won’t feel normal. also propose to change the league name if allowable to Geek Homers GT.

bbascom 20 Posted July 17, 2020 Oh wow, just got on here for once. So sad to hear of Teds passing, this year has just sucked! I agree with moving forward if we can find someone to take over for him but if not we can cancel altogether. Rest in peace Ted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mookz 1,287 Posted July 17, 2020 Maybe if there's someone else who is not into it this year because of the circumstances, inactivate their team and the Dodgers (but freeze all their players) so we still have an even number of teams? Or maybe make playing the Dodgers a "bye" week, and set the scores manually to 9-9? Easiest way would definitely be to have someone take over the Dodgers, but I'm not sure how realistic that is at this point (unless it's cdub ). Gotta be some way we can still do this.

You can't set the scores manually to make it 9-9, the commissioner can't do that, plus that would be a little unfair IMO... I don't play the Dodgers during the regular season... If no one would care, I can take it over and do two teams, it doesn't matter to me... Just throwing that out... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep I agree it would be unfair due to the unbalanced schedule. But then I thought, invariably there is a team or two who stops setting their lineup in a normal year which kind of unbalances things anyway. But if it can't even be done, then it's not an option. For the record, I would be good with you managing the Dodgers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burt 43 Posted July 17, 2020 I say we let Ted's team ride it out. One last hurrah for Ted! Its the team he drafted. It wouldn't feel right someone else running it. Edit - unless its one of us making minor adjustments for injuries or covids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yarp, and that's really just a matter of degree in what poasty would be willing to do for us. He could either run the team full-steam like it's his own, or just tweak it when necessary to keep the lineup in compliance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would definitely play starters and pitch starting pitchers that were scheduled... I would have to do some research on Dodger players still in the league, but that shouldn't be too difficult if the spreadsheet I have still works well... I don't think one can own two teams with the same email address, so I would "borrow" my daughter's yahoo account and assign the team to that email address if this is the route that we want to all go... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
