That final would end up more like North Texas against the Houston Texans.. you being North Texas

**chico2663** · 09-12-16, 04:18 PM

well i m 2-0 against him

**astro61200** · 09-12-16, 04:49 PM

Haha I'm just messing around, besides if I make the finals I'd be more like a high school team.

Good luck in the 2nd half of the semis

**chico2663** · 09-12-16, 11:14 PM

i have lost .my pitching sucks. if i don't score100 tomorrow then i will finish 4th.

**astro61200** · 09-13-16, 12:14 AM

he did this last time and smoked me last 3 days

**chico2663** · 09-13-16, 08:58 PM

i feel like a turd circling the drain. penetrating my pitching sucks. Everyone of the assholes are losing every game

**astro61200** · 09-13-16, 09:42 PM

I was hoping to grab a 40-50 point lead to take into his 6 starts tomorrow.. instead I'm posting a negative number. Blown saves, terrible outings, more poor streaming. I just can't stream at all, not sure why I try.

I'll take my 3rd place and 1000 points and be done with it, ready for football

**mpaschal34** · 09-13-16, 10:27 PM

i know how you guys feel. i'm in the finals in my 3 other leagues ($800 payout)....and everyone of my teams sh!t the bed. how does one team's batting go 1-31 at one point and my era be at 9.48? seems like i would have had a little bit overlap somewhere. still have 12 days to recover, but it's going to be an uphill battle.

as for our matchup astro....these same guys have all failed me before. so i'm a LONG way away from celebrating.

**astro61200** · 09-13-16, 11:00 PM

Yeah, definitely not over since I still have one more round through my starters but my top starters have only been mediocre since the playoffs started and my mediocre starters would have served me better on the bench. Definitely not giving up yet, that would only happen if I'm down 150+ going into Sunday.

**stealthyburrito** · 09-13-16, 11:12 PM

I might not even cross 500 pts in a 2 week span. Ridiculous.

**chico2663** · 09-13-16, 11:17 PM

hey i keep making wrong moves. drop a guy then he scores 26. oh pulls his vagina. pujols calhoon,cargo and pull negatives . Stick a fork in me I'm done. This same shit happened in both my other leagues last week. In one i had scored more runs then anyone but if my points against were a team it would be 3 most scored. I didn't get the bye last week and lost.Then price and hendricks wins this week

Yeah, I hear ya. Made some terrible moves, my studs have played terrible, and guys keep getting days off because of September call ups.

I feel like the playoffs should be moved up sooner if we do this next year. Reminds me of the last year I played fantasy basketball, went completely undefeated all year then lost in the finals because all my guys kept getting benched to rest up for the playoffs.

Only issues I've had are I believe SB's should be worth more than a point and saves should only be worth like 3 instead of 5 (like wins). It's nearly impossible to do well with this scoring unless you have 4-5 closers.

**mpaschal34** · 09-14-16, 09:42 AM

Two SP scratches today. Luckily for Yu, it's just for aligning for the playoffs.

**chico2663** · 09-14-16, 01:17 PM

i would rather see 7 for a win although as shitty as my pitchers are it would of killed me

I expected Skaggs to get bombed, so the scratch helps you IMO. Then again, I've shown my inability to stream so what do I know. Guess that's why I'm awful at betting on baseball. I'm probably more suited for a rotisserie league.

**mpaschal34** · 09-14-16, 03:39 PM

Skaggs did have a little rough patch but had averaged 20 points a game over the last 3 starts. I was going to try and ride the hot hand. However that didn't work out for Wily Peralta this week. So you may be right....but we'll never know now.

I was thinking of picking him up so he probably would of got bombed. I have that effect on players. Good thing i cut brault. If i can have 170 point lead i may be able to with stand his great pitching coming up

If you would of said LAMAR it would of bothered me more. pujols 5 points for the playoffs. Sanders with 0

**mpaschal34** · 09-15-16, 04:41 PM

Picked up a cheap win with Robertson. I would be happy, but I'm going against him in two of my higher stakes leagues.

I saw that, comes in and allows runners to get to 2nd and 3rd then lucks into a win. All I could do is shake my head, feel like that's how it's went most of the playoffs for me.

De Leon also pushed back to Sunday, had it worked out perfectly to get 9 or 10 starts between Friday and Saturday, that messes it all up.

Definitely feel like playoffs should be sooner than the final weeks to avoid this, mpas vs brock is going to be whomever can get the most starts out of players that don't get held out until the playoffs.

**mpaschal34** · 09-15-16, 04:51 PM

In 3 of my other H2H leagues, we are in the finals ending next week. It's a little better but next will be somewhat of a crap shoot. Do agree we should probably move up 1 to 2 weeks next year.

Yeah, going to have playoff SP's getting rested, then other SP's getting shut down because their teams are out of it and want to see some young guys pitch.

Saves are going to win the finals.

**astro61200** · 09-15-16, 05:18 PM

Regardless, it's been fun. Even if I don't finish in the money, glad 6 or 7 people kept up with it as every other daily league I've been in saw only a few people bother after week 5 or 6. That's why I stuck to Diamond Mind.

It's been fun paying attention to articles, been giving Scott White shit for his articles on CBS since I'm winning my division over him in one of my DMB leagues.

Agreed with the SB point. I build my team around speed and admittedly didn't check the fact that they were only worth a point. Perhaps if we up SB points there should be a -1 deduction for CS as well.

Also agreed with playoffs being earlier. The call ups muck up lineups. Marte not going to the DL is a product of expanded rosters. He's been listed as DTD for like 10 days now and I've hung on to him way too long in hopes he'd be back. If it was Aug or earlier he'd of been placed on the DL.

Also fukkin sick of Sanchez get a start every 10 days. That's a minor gripe cuz he may just have a dead arm anyway reaching the number of IPs he hit this year. But man, he was so money throughout the year. Losing Wright and him (and to a lesser extent Keuchel who finally looked he was putting it together) really derailed my pitching staff, which I contend was second best in our league.

**stealthyburrito** · 09-15-16, 09:23 PM

I enjoyed this league, def a grind but fun. In all seriousness, I'm happy I just got to the playoffs. Astro, Chico, Matty were way above the rest of the league. I was simply the best of the rest.

**chico2663** · 09-15-16, 10:00 PM

Stealthy i think your going to kick my ass. oh should of been on the dl 2 weeks ago. Tired of getting negative points from pujols. Strausburg getting hurt killed my team.Yes i have a 100 point lead but i have seen this play before with stealthy

**astro61200** · 09-16-16, 03:33 AM

Really? Blocked from getting Tillman by someone in the loser's bracket, does it really matter if you finish 8th or 9th? That'll about end my chances of a comeback

I was excited when I saw SB picked up Tillman but then I remembered my initials are TSB

Shark is hoping to not finish in the bottom half, poor guy. Hopefully he gets bombed

**mpaschal34** · 09-16-16, 01:43 PM

There is no way Lackey has a chance of a Win today. All their players are resting after clinching last night. I just have to hope he wasn't out partying with the rest of the team.

Remember beer and chicken in Boston? If that guy parties as his team chokes away the division and a playoff spot, you know he was out partying for a clinch.

**mpaschal34** · 09-16-16, 03:35 PM

Yeah...you are probably right. Not a horrible start, but not a great one either. Just wish STL would have won yesterday and they would have been playing to clinch today.
