WhiteWonder 2,188 Posted March 16, 2021 We always have a season discussion separate from the draft discussion. We can pin this after the draft. There was something I wanted to propose when we started regrouping for 2021 but forgot to bring it up.... would anyone be opposed to making a slight edit to the name of the league in honor of Ted? Something simple like Geek Homers GT... if it's allowed without messing up being able to see prior year results. Or does Yahoo allow you to name the virtual trophies? We could rename the 1st place trophy as the GT Cup or something like that. Maybe its not needed but it feels like a nice gesture 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted March 16, 2021 I like either. Not sure how Yahoo handles league name changes. "GT Cup", "Ted Trophy" something would be nice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,188 Posted March 17, 2021 Ted Trophy is nice if the trophy can be named. I don’t know if yahoo has that option like I think espn does. If not we should at least add GT to the end of the league name. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Braves apparently were looking at him during the off-season, but balked after seeing his physical results... I guess the Angels decided to take more of a chance on him...

OUCH....Definitely the downfall of doing the supplemental so early...I feel like we always waited until the last week, maybe 2 before the season started.

GuardBum 73 Posted April 1, 2021 I'm about 3 and a half hours from there. It's definitely a weekend overnight I want to do. Maybe get some disc golf on in that area because there are some good ones.

WhiteWonder 2,188 Posted April 8, 2021 Now is as good a time as any to start bitching about the Rays. The real Rays you lose 2 of your top 3 starting pitchers. Arguably your most trusted in Morton and your overall best in Snell. And you replace them with? Over the Rich Hill and a guy who sucked with you before in Chris Archer. Sure, I think there are better games ahead for Michael Wacha but it's no wonder you're 2-4 off four straight losses to the marlins/red sox. The team lacked offense last season and did nothing to address it. Wander Franco is in the minors, one of your few bad trades is playing great baseball in San Diego (Wil Myers), You never give players a chance to get in a groove when you trot out so many different lineups based off "analytics". So many moving pieces in Tsutsugo, Choi, Diaz, Brosseau, Wendle.... and we never keep any of our solid offensive catchers. so you know the offense is weak and you decide to let your pitching slip dramatically in talent.

lambert58 56 Posted April 12, 2021 The Cardinals can’t hit. Trevor Rosenthal gone for probably the entire year. Pham Sucks. Cards starting pitching is horrible. The only saving grace I have is I can throw volume of starters and the a Cardinals bullpen is 3 deep in shutdown pitchers. Gallegos, Hicks, Reyes all just dominant so far this season.

WhiteWonder 2,188 Posted April 12, 2021 I was feeling fortunate when I was up 11-5 earlier yesterday. For some reason my dumb ass decided to throw my pitching depth out there to chase a W and a QS and instead they all played like little leaguers and I lose the ERA and WHIP categories on top of it. gonna be a long year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be worse, the majority of your team could have missed 4 straight games to start the season due to another teams dirty Covid ways and then had their final game of the week postponed. Actually, I guess that's not worse, as it was out of my control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
