Well, not only did you beat the snot out of me you also picked up Miller. I hate you so much right now, Joey.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
so frustrated with myself for missing montero’s hold on wednesday when innings pitched and saves/holds seem as though they are going to be extremely close this week
mistakenly thought he might be unavailable because 18 pitches the day before but i failed to realize that duran had pitched 3/4 days and was definitely unavailable
pitchers are pitching so so well and still i am letting them down
and many of you seem to regularly be much better than i am about not having holes in your lineups but i am watching and learning
oof. That 5-30 in the last 3 weeks has helped alot.

That was me. I replaced him with Dansby Swanson and Brendan Rodgers who have been hitting great all along so I'm fine.
Edit: Playing around with the numbers, Semien has been by far the best SS in the majors this week, but while he was struggling Swanson was near the top so stashing him wouldn't have been worthwhile unless he keeps up this unreal pace for another month.

Yeah hard to hang onto a guy who’s struggling so badly from the start vs picking him up partway through the season as he’s overcoming his slump.

i do not believe so; if you search ‘fantasy baseball’ you can find the threads for each year going back quite a ways; nero cain has been the commissioner for the last few years and zoraster was before;
i think me, you and saladman (esperance spacemen) are the only new members this year and the other five were each present for last year as well
Okay. Thanks. I guess I have a couple of suggestions -- nothing major -- but this being an established league I think it's probably best to leave things be.
Since it was mentioned upthread, I will say that this is my first experience playing the category scoring -- I've been playing straight head-to-head and rotisserie. I guess at first the scoring by categories threw me off but I've been acclimating to it. There's an entirely different strategy to employ with it. If the scoring would change in the future that would be okay, but I'm fine with the way it is as well. The more ways to manipulate stats in Baseball the better right. Sign me up for next season regardless.
I personally am fine with category scoring but I think weekly records should be a straight win or a loss. A 7-5 win should be the same value as a 12-0 beat down of a garbage team in terms of seeding. That was what I believe most people (admittedly not all) wanted before the season started.

i too have a couple of suggestions - i think after the season is probably the best time for compiling and discussing these
me as well! i know i have been slacking about doing any sort of 'the week that was' type posts that i had planned on doing due to being fairly busy but! i am quite enjoying playing and find myself more invested than expected which is always a good thing

i would prefer this as well as i stated before the season but i was fine with either as both were new to me et cetera and i don't have too many complaints with how that has worked out other than not having built for it to be the way it is as i thought it was going to be the other way; i think straight win/loss gives room for more potential strategies to be employed
i guess the main focus for the future to me would be finding additional managers as only really having seven is kinda unfortunate and i will try to start making the aforementioned posts with that goal in mind as it is hard for me to think of any other way to show other members of the site who may be largely unfamiliar with fantasy baseball how fun and engaging it is

That's how I wanted it too. I think one or two people did want it the way we are doing it. Any close win I've had this season has killed me because others are winning their matchups by more points so my wins end up actually hurting me.

me personally, I don't care which scoring setting we use . If going forward we want to just go back to one win since that's what the majority want we can do that though I wish we could just all compromise or something so no one gets left out and no one's feelings are hurt. There are already so few that play baseball thought we could perhaps find so new players to play with us.
