F Me In The Brain

Frig Frag. Saw the flip flop coming with Ani, am fine to have lost that....not fine the way people are dropping like flies on my team. Losing Stanton hurts.
Need to see Lackey be OK and Guerra and Salazar come off the DL this week to get a few starts before playoffs in.

Team #7 is 22 games behind Team #6 and the last playoff spot. Only thing in play this week is position. Eric and Ani both within striking distance of the 1st round bye....and with Eric playing Empty's team there is a very real chance at a big # coming there.

Should be interesting!

Stanton has had a down year overall. Losing him shouldn't hurt you too bad.

Amongst the Ani

I get to play the team that made zero moves this week. Hoping for a smack down on Bartolo's Colon by the Assholes to let Eric and I have a shot.

Empty, nut up this week and remember to set your lineup please. Need you to take some categories from Eric to give me a shot.

Lol. Empty got smoked last week.

Last month (just pulled last 30 days stats) he was 26/99, 5 HR, 19 RBI. Gonna miss that -- the wire is filled with guesswork at this point of the year. Sure, the guy I picked up for him (Brad Miller) has been hotter, but would I rather bet that in 2 weeks when my playoff matchup begins that the new guy or Stanton would be more reliable? Stanton.

I guess, if .250 is what you're striving for, you'll miss it. Lol

F Me In The Brain

I'll take .250, 5 HR, 19 RBI over the next 30 days gladly.
Seems only 7 have more than 19 RBI over that period for OF.
5 HR is only topped by 14 OF over that period.
22 Outfielders have more total bases over that same 30 day rack.

12 teams. 3 OF positions each (we can pretend nobody uses OF in the UTIL spot or that some fools do not have 3-4 OF on their benches instead of using those slots for SPs)

That is 36 Outfield eligible players one could assume are made up of top 36 ranged OF players, or thereabouts.

Anything inside the top 30 is going to be desirable and tough to replace.

So when those stats show as only 7/14/22 players doing better than Stanton....yes, he may very well be missed.

You did way too much research to say stanton had ano above average month in homeruns and rbis.

Amongst the Ani

Speaking of short term stats, I am going to miss Dozier being this hot. He put up a stat line last week of 8/27, 6 runs, 4 Hr's, 23 TB and 7 RBI's. Needed that since Donaldson decided to shit the bed last week.

F Me In The Brain

Proving my point. Silly to scoff at a .250 BA and to say the player is not valuable.
If we used Yahoo it would have taken two clicks to give you a ranking for time periods. Since we use ShitESPN I need to click the button about 10 times and to do some basic counting.

250 is trash

Amongst the Ani

Top OF option available is Melky. Yes he is hitting .299 but has not hit a homer in weeks and gives you nothing but singles mostly. I would rather have .250 and get some RBI's and the occasional homer. In a weekly matchup the difference between a .250 hitter and a .299 hitter is 1 to 2 hits.

F Me In The Brain

Hahah, you are just being a tool.
A tool who missed the playoffs.

Yup, my team got hot too late. And pitching injuries killed me

F Me In The Brain

I would point at team management....not a coincidence that there is not a single team that qualified that has more than 2 bench hitters. You need to carry more SP to win consistently. With only 1 exception, the teams that missed all had +2 hitters on their bench. (Empty is the exception....make of that what you will.)

Amongst the Ani

I'm with F Me. I carry 2 bench hitters. An extra outfielder and a super sub that Baez is filling for me now. I like having the two for off days and short injury fill ins. Other than that bench guys do nothing but aggravate you when they go on a tear sitting on your bench. Would rather get an extra pitching start in or 2 a week with the other extra bench slots.

F Me In The Brain

I typically carry 0 bench hitters in any leagues that I am in. I dont play in any Start-limited leagues other than this one, but even with the start limits you don't use them all up most weeks and it makes more sense I feel.

Numbers support it this season.

The categories are weighted the same. Having a bench hitter is really irrelevant when you look at what's on the wire. For fucks sake, I had 4 pitchers on the DL at once.

Amongst the Ani

Excuses is all I hear. Many of us had periods where we were decimated by injuries.

Degeneratefk

Sure. In no way am I saying I should be in the playoffs. My hitting was atrocious in the first half. I was only winning in pitching categories.

eeriepadave

top 10 teams make the playoffs, right?

Nutted up the best I could with this limp dick of a team. 6-7-1 as of Sunday 9 East time

Degeneratefk

I scratched and clawed my my to the 7th seed. I needed 3 more weeks to make the pkayoffs. Definitely not starting the playoffs so soon next year. 1 week playoff match ups until the finals! I had one of the hottest teams in the league after the break.

F Me In The Brain

Good luck for the teams starting today. I wait and hope to get healthy before my matchup starts!

Amongst the Ani

Good luck everyone left. I have a feeling it will be 1 and done in the playoffs for us. Too many hitters disappeared late in the season (looking at you mostly Donaldson).

Amongst the Ani

That was an interesting day for us yesterday to kickoff the second round. Only managed to get 4 hits but all 4 were homers. Not sure if I should be pissed at my team or happy with them.

ed243421

My team choked so hard

Amongst the Ani

If it were not for Dozier I would be with Eric. Dude is now up to 8 homers in his last 7 games.

ed243421

My bats were ok

My pitchers blew chunks

Degeneratefk

Someone needs to drug test dozier
