Clem, just took a peek at your lineup and you want to make sure all your RPs are in your lineup daily. They won't earn you any points if they're on the bench. Your starters will *95% of the time* (sometimes there's some surprises) be indicated as starting with a green check mark next to their name. If I were you, I'd have Mayza in Hicks' spot in the P slot.

Damn--of course, thanks. I'll try to get in a routine of checking that every morning. (I hit my limit on supply teaching today, finished until September now, so notwithstanding all the LOST INCOME, my fantasy team will reap the rewards of undivided attention.)

Corbin Burnesen running away with the league!!

Another basic question. Because of a rainout, I moved my utility player, Isaac Paredes, into my lineup at 2B. He played, but at third--does he still get points?
― clemenza, Friday, 29 March 2024 13:07 (six months ago) link
sure does.

Where they play irl (3b, DH, C etc) has no bearing on where you’ve slotted them in your lineup. As long as you’ve started them, the stats count.

If I have Jordan Hicks as a P, but not an SP, does he get points today for everything he does as an SP?
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 March 2024 11:37 (six months ago) link
all pitching stats are counted the same and you just slot in your pitchers in where you can
refer to your maximum innings pitched chart at the bottom. you'll want to stick closely to the projected number of 1400 over the course of a season
― francisF, Saturday, 30 March 2024 12:13 (six months ago) link
Thanks. I see I can't change him to an SP anyway.
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 March 2024 12:19 (six months ago) link
he'll become eligible for SP soon enough and will keep his RP status from last year. so you'll soon be able to slot him in anywhere. great to have that versatility

My catcher is out for 10 days. I actually don't know what to do...Do I just stick with my backup and live with no points if he or his team isn't playing, or do I get someone from a reserve list? And if I do, can someone claim the guy I drop?
― clemenza, Sunday, 31 March 2024 11:36 (six months ago) link
Also, I somehow created an "Empty" pitcher on my roster--how do I get rid of that?

― clemenza, Sunday, 31 March 2024 11:43 (six months ago) link
When someone is injured you can put them in an IL slot and add another player. You do this the same way you slot them into position or onto the bench. When they are on the IL they don’t count as being on your roster.
Your empty pitcher just means you have an open P slot. Move a pitcher off the bench to fill the empty slot.

Got it, thanks. Count on these kinds of questions for two or three more weeks, then I should be okay.
― clemenza, Sunday, 31 March 2024 15:04 (six months ago) link
i had a billion of these questions at first too, clemenza, it's very normal. just a head's up, i was checking your team and saw you're starting 2 guys (seager and bryson stott) who aren't in the starting lineup today
https://i.imgur.com/g8kwcLr.png
the red x's on the right mean they're not starting, while the numbers in green circles mean they're starting and indicate where in the order they're hitting.
i think the injury management stuff is a big part of the fantasy "game". whether you drop a player who has a significant injury or keep them because you don't want to risk losing them on waivers. on the flip side, during the season you can sometimes pick someone up who was is coming off the IL.

Thanks! I had caught and shuffled Stott earlier (you must have looked before that) but missed Seager.
― clemenza, Sunday, 31 March 2024 16:09 (six months ago) link
I know it's early, but I'm leading the league in roster moves (7). This has never happened for me in fantasy baseball, at any point in the season.

well another of my guys just went down and my pitching is for crap so far. I have listed some absolute units as trade targets, entertaining offers for 3B/OF/P
― Begs2Differ (Jimmie Lovefoxxxxxx), Tuesday, 2 April 2024 12:47 (six months ago) link
I'm terrible at OBP and net stolen bases. May have to consider a name change to the Alfredo Griffins.

Took me a week to find 12th place. And I've actually been engaged thus far, shuffling players in and out every day. Wait till I'm disengaged, then you'll really see something.

paradoxically, you'll probably shoot up to mid-table

Clem, last July I went camping to an area in the Sierra Nevada mountains that not only had no wifi but also no cellular service and that was the week that I went from mid-pack to 1st.

a trade in the first week, intriguing

was debating if i should chime in on that one. feels kinda lopsided considering Jung has three years of control and Snell still hasn't even made his debut this season.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 4 April 2024 18:05 (six months ago) link
just saw Jung is going to be out for 2-3 months. i guess that do shift the math a little.

What a roughy day for my pitching. Between my two teams I had the following happen today: 4 loses3 blown saves2 starters that got unexpectedly shellacked 1 closer who got usurped Of the 9 pitchers I had throw a ball today, only three had an era below 6

Nope , but give it time.

In my defense re: Jung/Snell trade, my pitching is last in the league and I have a lot of time to find out what my 3B situation will be. On the other hand, I'm not that smart.

If Jose Ramirez is rained out and I don't have a back up third basemen, should I a) just let it go, since the game will be replayed, or b) pick someone off waivers for today? And if I go to b), what do I do to make room?
― clemenza, Sunday, 7 April 2024 16:14 (five months ago) link
I would let that go because you're not really losing a game in terms of overall stats. I think I mentioned once before that sometimes the risk is when it comes to a game being made up as part of a double header, that player might not play both games, but I think in his case he definitely would.
― omar little, Sunday, 7 April 2024 16:40 (five months ago) link
I’d only add a guy for one game if I had a slot that was either being vacated that day due to injury or something or if there was a player a really didn’t give a shit about that I was going to drop anyways.
