Damn... Peter Gammons just earned some major points for that one.

My team's motto is now "You know what you doing."

i got baldelli! the waiver wire worked for me! also keeping my mouth shut about him becoming available did

― maura (maura), Monday, 7 April 2003 18:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

ps i think like every game north of the mason dixon line today has been rained/snowed out. the pittsburgh game was just called.

Jose Cruz, Jr. welcome to San Francisco.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 7 April 2003 20:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

I just looked at our rankings closely for the first time, and I'm doing well in nearly every category but errors and fielding percentage. My boys need bigger mitts!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 7 April 2003 20:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

My pitching was rocking until Rodrigo Lopez spit the bit yesterday - 17 total bases!!! Bite me Rod!

That's ok tho, I will still continue my slow creep up the standings...

how often do the day-of stats get updated? It's showing no results for any of my players, but all three of my Braves* had at least a hit.

*never thought I'd ever refer to somebody on that team as "my braves." Ugh.

― hstencil, Monday, 7 April 2003 21:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

They are updated in almost-real time, except today no stats are being registered.

― Leee (Leee), Monday, 7 April 2003 21:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

i think that's because the real-time updates are now a premium add-on

― maura (maura), Monday, 7 April 2003 21:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, they tease you the first week, bastards.

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 7 April 2003 21:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

awwww... i didn't notice that change this year.

when i get back i'll look into a mid-season upgrade.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 7 April 2003 21:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

The other league I'm in finally got started, and I still can't get any pitching.

aurilia who? (3 HRs last 2 days)

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 7 April 2003 21:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Basically, I need to know which of my current pitchers to waive, what free agents to pick up etc.

― Leee (Leee), Monday, 7 April 2003 22:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

My team's motto is now "You know what you doing."

I think it should be "You know hwat you doing."

I am lousy with Ks, ERA and WHIP. All I need is some of this stupid "offense" I keep hearing about. Who wants David Wells?

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 7 April 2003 23:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Damn... Felix Rodriguez got rocked tonight and his ERA is now 8.31... wonder how long it'll take for him to get that back to normal. On the plus side, Barry Bonds isn't hitting too good but got a SB and my team is STILL error-free! Whee.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 01:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

it's gettin' hwat in herre

― bnw (bnw), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 02:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Glad to see people on the Baldelli ballsack. He'll be droppable in a month, I bet.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 10:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

The S.S. Pocket has hit an iceberg called lack of HR production and is mixing metaphors faster than a Baez split finger in a vacuum.

Amazingly enough, due to the weather only two of my players saw action yesterday- one went 3 for 4 and the other got a save. I still dropped a place in the standings.

Leave it to the I Love Baseball crew to make the thread a self-deprecate-off instead of a throwdown.

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 12:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

just dialing in from mars to report that Rich Aurilia is the #8 offensive player season to date</chortle on this>

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 12:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

I wear Pockets on the outside because pockets is how I feel on the inside.

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 12:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

I need to overhaul my team -- 7 ERRORS?!?!?

― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 04:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

What's OPS?

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 12:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

* OPS is On-Base Percentage + Slugging Percentage. It is a pretty good estimate of offensive ability.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 12:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Baldelli - 2 for 3 with a RBI.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 12:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

thanks chris

Offensive punch needed (at 3rd base or catcher) for Guardado. Pocket Pride is at stake.

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 12:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

I guess my team shows that you don't really need starting pitching. Three very mediocre outings from my crew and I only dropped to second place. None of my starting players have made an error yet though and we have a .974 OPS!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 12:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

Gygax what would it take to pry Dave Roberts away from you?

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 13:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Notice the correlation between Raposa's absence from this thread and his steady fall down the rankings?

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 13:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Kansas what would it take for one of Baez, Guardado or Smoltz?

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 14:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

Jesus Mark, thats a lot to give up for a average outfielder. Of course unless your set with closers.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 14:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Chris I haven't proposed any deals - just curious as to what it would take.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 14:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

Shoudn't take more than a pair of cleats.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 14:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

Mark, Varitek for Guardado?

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 14:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

The other league I'm in finally got started, and I still can't get any pitching.

On a completely different note, Rafael Furcal on the block. 4 runs, 2 rbi, 1 sb, batting .289 etc.

― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

THE trade won't be effective until Sunday? Mark, would you like the commish-for-life to waive this waiting period and make him earn his 75k a year salary?

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

I would!

And who vetoed the deal?!

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

whoops, i vetoed the trade (which cancelled it).

it looked unfair, so i thought i would just be tallying one vote against it.

set it up again.*

*David R., you around? Couple of things to ask.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

I feel like the Charles O. Finley of ILB. It feels good.

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

Argh.

You should only be vetoing trades if you feel like there's been some flagrant abuse of the system. It's ostensibly to prevent 'salary dump' type trades nearer to the end of the season.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

ps: all trades take 2 days and are voted for/against by a jury of your peers, apparently not including the commish.

this is the law, you are not exempt...

okay how much are you offering again? :-D

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

easy for you to say mark p.!!! you are getting a bargain and a half...

:-D

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

what was the trade again? I didn't approve felicity's trade because I thought it was a bad idea for her to get rid of what's-his-face.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

guardado for varitek

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

oh, I didn't even see that.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's cool if it's vetoed. But I fully understand what I'm doing. *places toaster next to bathtub*

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

Peeps are vetoing trades just cuz they don't like them? That's not right.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 16:54 (twenty-one years ago) link
