Nash 2016 MLB Baseball

[iloseagain]

thanks for the pick on Angels. Was ignoring that game until I saw you on it

[tatddy]

Nasher is HOT. Congrats on success so far.

Thanks.

I'm not just looking at, I'm more that watching Trevor Story at the plate, Holy Mother of God, sweet swing.
Just crushed one off the wall, he's the real deal, totally legit.
Here's the problem, he strikes out like Chris Davis. But he's learning on cutting down on that.
He's learning and want to learn.

Here's my beef with MLB, they think they don't have to market their product, they HAVE to!

They can market the bad asses , like Donaldson, like Joey Bats.
Trout and Harper are name brands, they have to promote that.
Kershaw, etc etc etc

Sell it !
The product is more than good, parks are pretty full, that's not the problem, tell us why we should pay attention to this game, the best game in the business. NFL doesn't have to, the NFL is a gazillion dollar business, the current commissioner saw to that.

MLB can be a better product than it already is if they market it.

[tatddy]

Nash he has always struck out a lot but his BB rate is not bad at all and will only get better. He's also tremendous with oppo power. He was a 1st round pick and no reason to think he won't be an all star in the future. He has a career minor league BB% around 11-12 which is way above average and he's only 23.

Yes, I bought the Extra Inning package for 165 for the whole season, tremendous value.
Every game, I mean every game across 20 channels, every team, all the time, real time.
Can't beat it. I can watch everything.

Totally misread the Rockie total, wasn't a forced play, liked the under, I misread it.
Put it down as a loss.

Hey ! I'm only flesh and blood don't 'ya know.

Did the same here Nasher...... Even if you are only watching your favorite team its like $1 a game. For degenerate gamblers like me that follows multiple games at once its pennies per game.

Unreal Story just had a SECOND hr robbed by the new netting at coors field. My fantasy team protests.

I'm in the Nationals the NFBC, drafting from the 11 hole the plan was to go power - speed - power arm, 11 I snatch Bryant, wrap around pick I select Altuve, I get my power arm with Cole late third round pick.

Set myself up like a bowling pin. I'm in contention all season barring major injuries.

Snag super utility Brock Holt in round 25.
Extremely valuable insurance policy at dirt cheap bargain basement cost, on it to win it baby!

I was in a very similar situation, 10th pick in 14-team league... got Correa (!), swung around and got Pollock ( ), then Arrieta in Round 3. I'm kind of fukked from the get-go with the Pollock thing, really sucks. My team has 5 guys on the DL already, WTF?! I've been hanging in there but we're 3 for 30 at the plate so far tonight. Ah well, I won it last year.

In brighter news, I hit all five of my plays tonight !!! And parlayed them too!!!!

[iloseagain]

^^wow good night for you then.. My fantasy team is stacked because i had the #1 overall pick, another 1st rounder, 2 3rd rounders, no 5th, and 2 8ths. I was in the basement to end the year and traded away my good players for picks.. Makes no sense NOT to do that if you are going to be in the league the next year.. We have 4 keepers BTW, so even though i had all those picks, alot of the good players werent available anyways. Still made out nicely..

got chris davis in the 9th too as a keeper

Yea. First year I was in Vegas I got the package only to realize that the entire AL & NL West claims this area as a "Home Market" thus black out rules apply. I even complained to MLB about and got a canned response "explaining" what I already knew. Like you said if MLB would just market their product, it would be much more popular. Anyway, I get the Pads and Angels on cable. Used to get the Dodgers, but now they are part of the Time Warner Monopoly. Pretty much sucks.

3* Underdog tomight

Royals +117 (Kennedy) over Astros (Fister) 3*

300 to win 351

Here is why.

Fister did pitch a semi nice game in his opener, pitched well, got run support too, the formula on how to earn a W at any level in baseball.

This is why I am fading Fister here in this here spot.
Last season in 15 starts with the Nats his average velocity on his fastball was 86 mph (nothing special)
The average velocity on his heater now is down to 85 mph Astro pitching coach (Brent Strom) has Fister throwing 15 percent more sliders to compensate for the lack of velocity.

And here's why I love KC in this spot.
I follow KC on a regular basis, they hammer sliders.
I know, I watch them all the time.
Just to check to the stats, yes KC mashes sliders.
Moose, Gordon, and Hosmer especially.

This is not a very good spot for Fister.

Now, I don't want to argue BvP with anyone, tired of it.
If the sample size is big enough BvP should not be overlooked.
It's not the be all end all of all statistics, it's not even my go to statistic, it's an ancillary stat used to support my argument.

Fister is no stranger to KC, Royals are 57 for 191 .298 (and that sample size of 191 is more than big enough)

I need to wrap this up, KC lineup has had success before in the past when facing Fister, he relies on more sliders these days and KC raps slider pitchers, Fister even though he won his first start is down trending, Kennedy is healthy and he has the best defense in the universe backing him up, yes Houston can rake, Ian will give up a couple of runs (no I don't like the total in this game) KC like I mentioned is in a very nice spot here.

This is a live underdog spot play here, +117 is generous in this spot, and I'm taking it.

KC 3*

[Miavia]

Thank you for the pick sir.....

[KRIT]

Tailing for some action as no NBA and currently have nothing pending. Gl to us!

[Ra77er]

Hope you cashed on the Indians today...Archer

[tatddy]

Crap I have to go against Nash. Not the spot you want to be in. Technically we can both win. I'm ok with kc runs because it will just give me extra 3 outs in the 9th. Still Nash is tough

[mohye1980]

Good luck Nash. Let's cash this ticket sir.

[Mase of Base]

Tough, only thing I don't like is Kennedy giving up 31 long balls last season playing half his games at Petco. For me it's not a question of if someones going yard it's how many and how many on base.

[Ra77er]

Oreos over 3.5 TT not bad bet

[iloseagain]

Oreos over 3.5 TT not bad bet

dont do it

[stevenash]

MOOSE !
He loves sliders and he loves Fister.
And I love Moose as I started him in both my DFS dailys.

[Capybara]

Late seeing your play, glad I'm not against you! I need the under 8.5 in that game. Good luck, sir, keep it rolling!

As other will echo, love your long write-ups, man! I don't have the time or patience to do all that in mine. Really enjoy reading em, though, so don't stop those!

I don't always have time to write them, when I do have a say disposable 45 minutes or so I will write them, why? Because I am a geek, that's why. I like too, I write a blog also.
Middle of the week is when I'm slammed at work, if I see something I like I can't write it up, so I'll just post a one sentence pick, I can't tell you why I like the pick because I usually have one foot out the door, weekends I always have a little time.

I love playing with numbers, it's what I do for a living.

Did I mention I am a geek?

Regarding the total, under was the way to go, but I did pass.

[GGGJR82]

I also am a fan of the write up Nasher, great thread bud, GL rest of the yr!

Do you mind posting a link? (not sure if it's allowed?) all good if not.

Kennedy doing work thus far, need to tack on a few runs.

I know posting twitter account links is not allowed.
Not sure about blogs.
I'll find out.

no hitter thru 5. I took under 8.5 and Hou tt u4.. Houston sucks

[stevenash]

HOSS !

You give KC 4 outs in an inning, they'll kill you each and every time.
They won back to back AL pennants like that.
They pressure you with speed, they jump on every break they get, and on and on and on.

[Mase of Base]

I'm glad to be wrong so far! Nice piece of two out hitting from Hoss and Morales.

*Annnnd then Gordon and Perez, so clutch this team.

[Miavia]

Let's play........Let's go.....

[stevenash]

Did I mentioned this KC Royal team is the best defensive unit in the universe.
Which is a big reason why I believe Kennedy will thrive this season on this team.

[iloseagain]

kc is beast. i was leaning them but didnt make a play.. i tailed your pick though and even added more right before the game. Looks good thus far.. love your picks man

[iloseagain]

altuve no need to homer.. 7 runs now.. need u8.5.. not gonna happen.. got more on kc anyways so ill be fine as long as kc wins

[tatddy]

Nice win!
