Looks like I'll be sweating the final week. Uninspiring performances from madbum and kazmir and he goes on the DL to boot.

Glad I saw this, hadn't checked much lately but when you said Kazmir hit the DL I knew it was time to pick up De Leon.

[stealthyburrito]

Did we just tie?

No clue if that's good or bad for me. I imagine it's good for Chico.

Possibly, but I barely beat Jake a couple months ago, by like 3 or 4, then stat correction came out and I won by 10 or 11. So there's that possibility.

If you guys tie then the playoffs are set, since Dan is losing to Jake. The game doesn't really change much, other than who is the #1 and #2 seed. Chico tie or win and he's still #1, loss and I'm #1.

[astro61200]

6th week of being the high scorer.. I'll take it, especially after the poor performances by the rest of the playoff teams. My team seems to be trending upward with the DL returns. Ready for the playoffs after a pointless week next week.

[mpaschal34]

Playoff teams are set. Shouldn't be any complaints since the top 4 scoring teams are in.

If if I can't beat Astro's this week, I better get nervous. All my stud pitchers have 2 starts in them this week.

[stealthyburrito]

Shocked I'm 4th highest scorer.

Never got the highest score for any week.

Do they? Hmm so your stud pitchers are only going to get 2 starts for the playoff weeks? Nice

[chico2663]

As opposed to mine who are on the dl

it is good for you since it qualified you. it is bad for me because now i play either u or paschal. I am headed from 1st to fourth

[mpaschal34]

You are 100% correct...but there isn't much I can do. Only good thing is that it's over a two week period which does help me some. Looks like I'll be at full strength for the 3rd place game.

Yep, just double checked and, unless people are moved up for off days, looks like you're only going to get 2 starts out of Fernandez, Davish, Roark, and Porcello for the first round.. I'll be getting 3 out of all of mine except Arrieta. So that'll be 23 of my 24 starts, then maybe McCullers will be off the DL in time for the 24th start.

[mpaschal34]

Sure wish the playoffs would have started this week.

[stealthyburrito]

I'm happy with how the 1st round of the playoffs is shaping up

[astro61200]

I agree

[chico2663]

i'm not

[mpaschal34]

Nevermind....Astro is killing it. Hopefully he's peaking a week early.

[astro61200]

Nevermind....Astro is killing it. Hopefully he's peaking a week early.

We'll see but picking up Pollock and Bautista could be the difference. Wish Ramos didn't lose his closer role when he got hurt, but doesn't appear to be an issue for my team at the moment

[chico2663]

my whole team is hurt.5 dl and 3 dtd

[chico2663]

lost walker for the season

[mpaschal34]

Not sure what you playoff teams think about cutting a little money aside for 4th place. But I'm up for it since its been a long grind of a season and I feel all of us worked hard to get here. I was thinking 400 or 500. Let me now your opinions.

current payout:

7000
3000
2000

adjusted payout:

6700 or 6800
2900
1900
500 or 400

As my team is going to finish 4th I'm all for that. Even if I win it all There maybe a team that is in the playoffsthatmaybe only won 1 time but finished in the playoffs. I think we put in 1000 to be in the league. I believe they should at least get their money back. I'm all for
6500
2500
2000
1000

I'm ok with 4th getting 1000....we'll see what others say. Although I don't think 2nd should take such a big hit. How about:

6500
2700
1800
1000

[astro61200]

I said I'd win before the season, and believe I have the best team heading into the playoffs.. I'm fine with this:

6850
2850
1850
450

Anything less for 1st and 2nd I'm not fine with. In no way am I fine with getting 500 less for winning when the playoffs start in a few days.

It's been a long grind so I'm cool with 4th getting something, but I don't have much sympathy for injuries. It's something that can be planned around, and I played for weeks down hitters while riding out DL pick ups, and awaiting position eligibility, in advance of the playoffs. Hell, the week I lost to mike I had 5 DL players that I knew would be back in time for the playoffs. Have to have a backup plan, plus I offered many trades that were declined that would have helped out.

[stealthyburrito]

Personally, I don't think 4th should get anything but since you knobbers all seem to wanna take pity on the sad sac that ends up there I'll agree to something similar to astroer, if one of you THREE ends up 4th:

6850
2825
1825
500

Now, if I end up in 4th, I propose an alternate arrangement. The points will be distributed as stipulated in the OP, and in lieu of receiving the consolation 50% refund of entry fee I receive one HJ from Mrs. Matty at the SBR bash at punta Cana 2017, scheduled for a 15 min time limit (or less, whichever happens first) at an agreed upon date and time convenient for all parties involved in the matter.

I'm confident I will receive no such prize, however. I believe I will be walking away with either 1st or 2nd prize. Does Matty have the intestinal fortitude to accept such an arrangement, for the good of the league? The ball is in his court

[chico2663]

Most likely your playing astro first week so could be interesting

[mpaschal34]

stealthy....haha....i needed a good laugh after a long day at work. she may be up for the deal if you cover all of her losses in the casino for sat/sun.

on a more serious note....do you guys want to lock in the

6850
2825
1825
500

that seems to be a close number that makes most happy.

[chico2663]

fine by me. i think i just gave away high score this week by jettisoning a start.Think i may surprise a few

[stealthyburrito]

Fukk. Yea fine by me.

Chico hang in there pal. I foresee you locking in that coveted #1 seed.

[astro61200]

Oh no, I forgot to start players and left 57 (and counting) points out of my lineup... Darn.

[stealthyburrito]

Bet you're psyched scherzer got pushed back to Monday.

Playoff match ups are set. Astroer and Matty matchup in consecutive weeks and myself and Chico look to avoid another tie in week 20's debacle.

I was pretty pleased about that, decided to take the L this week, and pass up another highest scoring week, to get mpas and his poorly timed rotation. Figured this was a better option than potentially getting him with all his guys getting 3 starts in the finals.

Time for it to bite me in the ass!

[mpaschal34]

Odds are against me....but will try to pull some magic out of the hat. Going to need my hitters and bullpen to step up.

Hopefully Puig is playing for his future and goes on one of those hot streaks that he can do.

[astro61200]

Just saw deGrom may not even pitch in the next two weeks.. Ouch

[mpaschal34]

Yep....looking real bad for my team. Can we go back and make it a total season points league?
