2022 Fantasy Baseball

[Kilgamayan]

Baseball!

[Nero Cain]

Are we excited?

[shiki]

Are we excited?

yes, very!

perhaps not as much today specifically as i would otherwise be due to postponed games

but! in general yes very excited

also thankyou for the reminder about the draft; i did not see it before the draft but i do very much appreciate your doing so

[Kilgamayan]

Are we excited?

My team's game today was decided yesterday to be postponed due to weather

So uh

Not as much as I could be, certainly

[Nero Cain]

yeah, postponements suck.

watched the mariners-twins game today and was frustrated with how many times my guys struck out.

[Nero Cain]

hey saladman...maybe I didn't do a great job explaining things but you are going to need some pitchers. Or are you intentionally tanking the pitching categories to always have your hitter slots active?

[Saladman27]

I don't wanna pretend I know everything, nor do I wanna seem like a complete idiot but I am very much clueless about fantasy, let alone fantasy baseball.

[Nero Cain]

There are six pitching categories and in our league we need 30 innings pitched a week. You need a mixture of

S

tarting

P

itchers and

R

elief

P

itchers. You are going to have to spend some of your weekly adds (we get 3) to get some pitching or try and trade for some.

[Kilgamayan]

We appear to have been awarded wins and losses based on each category, as opposed to having four 1-0 teams and four 0-1 teams.

I have zero personal problem with this, because this is the scoring system I wanted, but I know that others wanted it the other way, so I figured I'd say something now, while the season is still very young and things can be changed if needed.

[Groose Caboose]

I was under the impression that we were just doing 1 win/loss and I played this week with that in mind (not caring so much about categories like QS and SV+H that I could’ve possibly won by picking up another player). If we could get some clarification on that it would be appreciated.

[Kmd4390]

Yeah I was hoping for 1 win/loss per week

[Nero Cain]

it's a little late to change the scoring.

Both Galron and shiki said they'd be willing to do categories after kila expressed that he rather do categories than one win. I thought I was doing what might be best and I'm sorry that not everyone is happy.

[D3f3nd3r]

Why was my post deleted?

[Kmd4390]

I'll keep playing because we already started....

Surprised though.

[Groose Caboose]

Can the guy who isn’t playing any pitchers against me this week please do so in the future? It made this week a total non-sweat and it’s also giving other teams in that division free wins every week.

[Nero Cain]

I am enjoying shiki's ever changing team name

this game often feels to me like we are ships passing in the night - i see the roster moves each of you makes and lineup adjustments but there isn’t really much direct interaction so i update my team name with what i am excited for or about at that time or how i am feeling or a song that is meaningful to me at that moment or some combination of the above when i check my team usually as a way of smiling and saying hi as we pass

Is anyone looking for some help at pitcher? My pitching roster is absolutely loaded due to autodraft favoring pitchers for some reason and I could really use more bats.

I have five pure OFs I want to play and only four spots for them as long as Tellez is crushing everything in his path. I'd be willing to part with one and possibly some other stuff for some pitching (see Trading Block).

Sent you a request. I have no idea what I’m doing so if it’s totally uneven feel free to send a counter offer

[shiki]

okay

let’s see

i am unsure if you are solely referring to your starting pitchers here; if not i might be interested in kenley

but! you are probably not really looking for a league replacement level bat and it is difficult to value even a great reliever any higher than that when bednar et al are available

after the season we should probably collectively discuss roster and category configuration for next season (and having 4 or so more mafiascummers participate would be beneficial as well) to address things like this

hmhmhm

jd martinez is ~approximately replacement level and the other four are probably unaffordable for me as i am unwilling to part with freddy or frankie and i doubt any combination of the others would be appealing enough to you

sano out for at least another month so i am in theory in need of a first baseman but! vladdy is the one i am fondest of but unfortunately did not have a high enough draft pick to obtain and do not really have a better trade to offer than one that was previously declined, so! (nonetheless i will continue to root for him) i added lourdes gurriel to cover sano and reyes on days they weren’t playing because expected additional days off until they started hitting and then gurriel got upgraded to full time first base with the sano injury and has mostly just been there as making marginal upgrades elsewhere more appealing to me so far; maybe next week

and! sano will triumphantly return eventually

I have no idea what I’m doing

this is how i feel pretty much constantly (having already had to try to correct for some pretty major errors in methodology)

but! i am very much enjoying the season so far and i think(?) it is starting to come together

edit: hm maybe after next week i will start doing a ‘the week that was’ sort of post from my perspective each sunday night/monday morning so those not participating might see how fun it is and want to play next year

[Kmd4390]

Kershaw to the IL would be a complete shock if not for him being on my team. Why is my IL always so crowded?

Edit: I'm at 7 on IL again. No one else has more than 3.

[Nero Cain]

man, i am getting torched this week

[Groose Caboose]

man, i am getting torched this week

The Coke Train has no brakes! But also you’ve tightened up since yesterday

[Nero Cain]

Coke Train

no wonder
