Sbr fantasy baseball 2016

**astro61200** · 08-03-16, 03:31 PM

Haha experts.. guess we'll see but I haven't listened to experts for baseball in forever. Hell, I'm in a Diamond Mind league with a few fantasy guys from CBS and another expert who has his own radio show on XM and well on my way to winning the championship for the second year in a row with a team completely capable of winning 3 or 4 in a row.

Fenway vs PETCO park factors aren't too far a part. Pomeranz was equally as good on the road as at PETCO. His GB% is pretty even, so only a slight FB pitcher. K's are up and BB's are about the same as prior seasons. Normally I'd worry about switching to the better hitting league, but he spent the past 2 seasons in the AL.

Guess time will tell, but I don't foresee a drop off coming points wise. May post a higher ERA but that should be offset by wins and more run support.

14 innings is way too small of a sample size to make rash assumptions.

WELL my feeling is that he was ineffective in one of the best pitching ballparks unless he was relieving someone. His third pitch is his curve and it will get racked in that ball park. He is a good reliever. I usually do well in every league except one of my cinti leagues because i jinx careers in that one. Plus always play wrong team. LAst year my top 3 picks either went down to injury or had subpar years. just realized i didn't take him in my bad league. rooting like hell for him

We'll see, I have faith in him and believe tonight he bounces back and starts a nice run.

He did pitch well, but SEA stinks against LHP this year. Should have a good outing against NYY this next week. NYY bats do not matchup well against LHP. I'd love to know if Leon is catching Wright and his knuckleball tonight. If Leon is catching him again, I'm fading Wright in DFS.

Just wondering if you've set up the NFL league?

**chico2663** · 08-05-16, 04:05 PM

i hope someone plays a football league. usually suck at that

**mpaschal34** · 08-05-16, 07:29 PM

So who's going to take the lead in the fantasy football league? If no one wants to do it, I'll try to lead it. If I set it up, it would be on ESPN.

**stealthyburrito** · 08-05-16, 07:49 PM

Settle down matty. I'm not sure why you're so eager to lose more points you fantasy cold fish.

I can if you want, ran one on here last year. Tried to get a college fantasy football one going as well, but very limited interest. Went pretty well, got a few weeks backed up on weekly payouts because I moved from KY to FL but other than that went smoothly. Everyone was paid on time afterward and the winner payouts were paid the day after.

Real question is PPR or not?

**astro61200** · 08-05-16, 08:27 PM

How is this for a prize breakdown?

Entry Fee: 1000 (12 Teams, 4 playoff teams)
Prize Breakdown:
1st - 5000
2nd - 2250
3rd - 1500
Weekly Payout - 250

That's a total prize pool of 12,250 so I'd be chipping in an extra 250 unless some others wanted to toss in an extra bit to help me out. I like the large weekly payout because it ensures that everyone is active all the way through (instead of like this league where half the league is MIA)

Alternatively, could do:

Entry Fee: 1000 (12 Teams, 4 playoff teams)
Prize Breakdown:
1st - 5500
2nd - 2500
3rd - 1200
Weekly Payout - 200

Or can have 14 teams.

**astro61200** · 08-05-16, 08:33 PM

Here was the scoring from my league last year (forgot that mpas, jake, and mike were in it):

Scoring:
Offensive/Kicking:
Passing Yards: 1 Point/20 Yards (0.05 per Yard)
Passing Touchdowns: 4 Points
Passing Interception: -1 Point
Rushing Yards: 1 Point/8 Yards (0.125 per Yard)
Rushing Touchdowns: 6 Points
Receptions: 1 point
Receiving Yards: 1 Point/10 Yards (0.1 per Yard)
Receiving Touchdowns: 6 Points
Field Goal 1-39 Yards: 3 Points
Field Goal 40-49 Yards: 4 Points
Field Goal 50+: 5 Points
Extra Point: 1 Point
2 Point Conversion: 2 Points
Fumble Lost: -2 Point

Defense/Special Teams:
Sack: 1 Point
Fumble Recovery: 2 Points
Interception: 2 Points
Safety: 2 Points
Defensive Touchdown: 6 Points
Return Touchdown: 6 Points
Points Allowed 0: 15 Points
Points Allowed 1-6: 7 Points
Points Allowed 7-13: 4 Points
Points Allowed 14-20: 1 Point
Points Allowed 21-27: 0 Points
Points Allowed 28-34: -1 Points

Defensive Yards Allowed - Negative: 15 Points
Defensive Yards Allowed 0-99: 10 Points
Defensive Yards Allowed 100-199: 7 Points
Defensive Yards Allowed 200-299: 4 Points
Defensive Yards Allowed 300-399: 1 Point
Defensive Yards Allowed 400-499: -1 Point
Defensive Yards Allowed 500+: -4 Points

The scoring seemed to work well, the 8 yards a point for rushing helped even it out against the usually higher scoring WRs.

If these settings work I'll create it and start a thread then PM everyone in this league about if they want to join first, then open it up to packerd, then the rest of the forum if still not full

**astro61200** · 08-05-16, 10:23 PM

Here is the link to the football thread: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...ue-2016-a.html

Make sure to check the scoring, as it's slightly different than what was listed above but I feel does a very good job of making each position important, instead of a race to stockpile WR's.

**astro61200** · 08-05-16, 11:00 PM

PM'd 9 of 11; mpas your inbox is full, and Jake it said you aren't receiving/can't receive PM's

**astro61200** · 08-05-16, 11:30 PM

Also, if everyone is completely opposed to the tweaked scoring I can make it the standard 1 point per 10 yards rushing and receiving. However, the weighted version really helped in the league I ran here last year and evens it out way more IMO

**mpaschal34** · 08-06-16, 12:52 AM

My email has been cleared out a little.

will look more at the league tomorrow. Too drunk now to comprehend the crazy scoring.

Haha it's a little funky because ESPN only allows up to 2 decimal points and you can't customize it like Yahoo but I went through and checked out 2015 scoring and the top receivers are still the top players, but the top RBs aren't far far behind now. Plus the PPR point makes the possession guys valuable as well. IMO it helps even out.

For instance in this scoring someone like Adrian Peterson would have had 303 points last year, compared to 260.7 in standard scoring. So with this scoring he was 7th best between W/R/T. With standard scoring (1 point per 10 yards rushing/receiving with 1 PPR) he would have been 14th.

It helps regulate WRs from dominating the entire league. Standard scoring 12 of the top 13 flex options were WR's; this scoring you get 6 RB's in there before Decker (14th best WR last year)

When you look through the top 50 flex options with this scoring, you have John Brown at 49th (27th best WR) and Jeremy Hill at 50th (18th best RB). Standard scoring you get James Jones at 50th (30th best WR) and Frank Gore at 48th (14th best RB).

I just feel like someone like Doug Baldwin shouldn't be a better option than Adrian Peterson because he had a bunch of catches. Peterson had only 3 less TD's and nearly 400 more total yards but was outscored by Brown by 8 points in standard PPR leagues. With the weighted scoring Peterson outscored him by 44.8.

Another example is in standard PPR Devonta Freeman was 16 points behind DeAndre Hopkins.

Freeman had more total yards (118 more) and more TD's (3 more), just 38 less catches. With this scoring Freeman outscored Hopkins by 26.4. So the PPR point helps WR's out but doesn't overpower everyone else, while still helping lesser possession guys (think 6 catches for 30 yards) still have some value when they wouldn't in a non-PPR or half point PPR league.

The rest of it is pretty standard, except the defensive points for yards to raise their value some instead of making them a complete afterthought.

i will do it but have to borrow points first. Can't cash at poker and can hit shit. Let me know by when you need the points

Whenever, I can cover the points if necessary as you're assured of making the playoffs here so you'd have to go 0-2 in the playoffs not to get a, at least, 1k payout.

Not over yet, still debating on if I should use Musgrove tomorrow. Ultimately depends on how Skaggs does and if any of my 5 closers can pick up some saves (and if your starters get losses)

**astro61200** · 08-06-16, 08:58 PM

Skaggs starting out poorly, just like I worried. Mariners had an obnoxiously long ceremony for Griffey after everyone warmed up so he has been sitting there for almost an hour. Stupid. These ceremonies should be followed by 10 minutes of warming up.

**stealthyburrito** · 08-06-16, 09:31 PM

Get a surprise start from Sanchez and he shits himself

Going to go down to the wire, I can usually squeeze out close matchups because of all my closers but they've all been lackluster this week.

If you win then Duffy was your MVP. Good pick up with him, I had wanted him when he moved into the rotation since he was very good a couple years ago in it, but didn't have anyone to drop at the time.

All in all, I'm happy with this week since I've been a man short while I wait out Turner getting OF eligibility (bit me today when I had Travis on the bench). Bregman is starting to pick it up and AJ Pollock started his rehab assignment so will be up by the end of August.

Just need to clear a spot for him, so trying to move Piscotty to anyone in need. Can package a lesser closer for a better closer, or package a SP with him for an upgraded SP (or DL'd starter who will be back in a few weeks)

**mpaschal34** · 08-07-16, 11:19 AM

stealthy....i'm coming after you next week.

lucky for you, most of my big dogs pitch today, so you will only have to face them once. you do get j.fernandez twice, but it looks like the innings load is starting to catch up to him (6 total points in his last 2 starts). i'm going to have to hope for a big offensive week.

Matty, I'm trying to get through today. I have no clue regarding my breakdown but I do know you'll avoid madbum twice you dirty lil stinker. My last 5 weeks include weedman, you and Chico, so I got a brutal stretch. I figure if I go 3-2 I'm in the playoffs.

Oh, and also, I already beat you

**aggieshawn** · 08-07-16, 12:01 PM

What is up with bryce?

Congrats stros. I sat and watched every inning of ranger-stros game. I had high last week and close this week. If my pitching ever picks up them i'm golden. When they don't I'm showered. As I said I think that between the 4 playoff teams(stealthy and paschal) I have the worst side.

**stealthyburrito** · 08-08-16, 08:50 AM

Matty should thank me. In the last 2 weeks I've bounced the two other teams competing for a playoff spot with him.

As weird as this will sound, your win actually bounces me also. When it was a 3 way tie, I had the tie breaker. However, since you knocked off Potheads (and there is no longer a 3 way tie) DH Ban now passes me since he holds the H2H tie-breaker over me. Just comes down to the fact I need to go 3-1 in the last 4 weeks.

Still mad my big dogs played yesterday when I didn't need the points. I would rather have that 106 today.

Matty you're starting to sound like uscphillyguy. This last stretch and your pitchers starting yesterday is part of a vast conspiracy.

Matty you know the drill, loser gets nudes of JJ.

Thanks for ruining my lunch as I have visions of nude JJ in my head.

If I were Philly, I'd be complaining about the auto generated scheduling (which I never understood why he did it).

what team is philly. also is aggie shawn in our league

**mpaschal34** · 08-08-16, 01:06 PM

Philly is not in this league (he was in our football league).

I'm pretty sure aggieshawn is not in this league.

**stealthyburrito** · 08-08-16, 10:33 PM

congrats matty on the W. My closers undergoing epic meltdowns

Long way to go....but a minus 17 is not a good start.

**astro61200** · 08-09-16, 03:46 PM

2 message alerts in the last hour, 2 of my closers going to the DL. Glad I clinched, because it's going to be a fight to win over the next few weeks.
