Fantasy Baseball League 2015

F Me In The Brain

I close with 2 Scotts and Bart's Colon....1 team a few behind and 1 team right ahead of me now. Gonna be a race to get a bye and keep the #1 or #2 slot...very important advantage!

2 Scotts, 1 Cup. The name loses its luster without the image of two Scotts enjoying one cup of some doo doo.

Our schedule is not that bad other than F Me's team after this week. Just need to hang on as we have sucked the last few weeks. Belt finally got off his schneid yesterday and hopefully keeps it up. Plus I get Pence back later this week/early next week.

Lence. Hahahahahaha. What a dog


Pence is so bad, my auto correct changed it to lence. Whatever that is

Pence has more rings than any Cubs alive.

You may very well be correct about that. But, doesn't mean he's any good. A lot of garbage players get lucky.

Excuse me? He is a career .284 hitter, 3 time all star and just this year was the player of the week before he got hurt this season.

I remember DF laughing because I told him that his boy Freddie Freeman sucked. They are pretty much the same player, with Pence having OF play and a whacko personality in his favor. I say (in true Rob fashion) Pence>Freeman.

Amongst the Ani

I will take Pence over Freeman. Pence's wacko personality is the driving force with the Giants and their environment. They have a fun/loose locker room and it starts it with him.

Freeman not only is a better hitter than pence, hes a better defensive player as well.

F Me In The Brain

Season Averages:
Runs 64.9 / Hits 124.7 / 17.3 HR / 65.7 RBI / 53.1 BB / 108.3 SO / 2.3 SB / .283 BA / .365 OBP / .470 SLG
Runs 72.9 / Hits 146 / 20.1 HR / 76.5 RBI / 42 BB / 103.4 SO / 10.6 SB / .284 BA / .339 OBP / .472 SLG

Which line is better?
Top is Freeman, bottom is Pence. Pence's average year thus far is slightly better. He stays on the field more than Freeman (74 more ABs average on these years, although walks offset that stat some) which might see their numbers even closer.

Think they are very similar hitters.
I do not believe either has won any fielding awards but they both field well.

I am not a Pence apologist, he just makes me laugh and seems like a good dude.
Don't like Freddie Freeman.

You can have your opinion that Freeman is a better hitter but so far in their careers I don't think there is anything to back that up.

Pence:
Year G AB R H HR RBI BA OBP SLG OPS+ BB SO SB CS
2015 52 207 30 57 9 40 .275 .327 .478 121 16 48 4 1
2016 50 181 27 54 7 36 .298 .375 .486 132 23 39 0 0

Freeman
Year G AB R H HR RBI BA OBP SLG OPS+ BB SO SB CS
2015 118 416 62 115 18 66 .276 .370 .471 133 56 98 3 1
2016 99 375 49 102 17 36 .272 .356 .501 131 43 115 3 0
Over the last 2 and a half seasons, Freeman has been a much better hitter. Pence hasn't been able to stay on the field at all in the past 2 years.


Hunter Pence is a dog.

Dude, Pence is 33, Freeman is 26. If you want to isolate years like that look at them at the same age. That is a biased comparison.

It's biased to look at the last 2 seasons? Ok.

Amongst the Ani

It is biased to compare a 33 year old players playing time with a 26 year old. After 32 without HGH a lot of these guys can't stay on the field. Comparing numbers is fine, this was in reference to Pence not being able to stay on the field.

i think i'm in 7th now. hopefully i can sneak in the playoffs and win.

Nope. Go to Standings and you will see a link at the top for Projected Playoff Bracket. You are 8th -- need to get by Stinky Jedis (7th) and Team Chicago#1 (6th) to make the playoffs.
Think you are fucked....you could easily get past Jedis but Chicago looks to be way ahead. Without a massive tank job over his last 4 matchups I dont think you can make up that much ground.
You have Gold-en and State of Glove coming up still....I think the playoffs are pretty much set, it is just the seeding.
This is why you play the game, though, keep grinding!

don't think it mattered too much anyway, lost this week

A magical run that will take them to 9th out of 12 teams. Still bottom 4.

injuries killed me.

i'll rebound in the football league

don't think that trade between us helped either one out too much. Arietta hasn't been as good when he started and Cespedes got hurt and I barely got to use him

Final week next week. This was a fun one battling F Me. Went down to the final games swapping categories back and forth.

My team is getting hot just a little too late.
