Ya. It’s too bad Colas isn’t worth an ad.

worth a cup of caffeine at least
*** any Non-Keeperable (Crochet, Salvy, Reynaldo...) going for exceptional keepers ***

Remember every time you drop a player because they've been cold and you have a desperate need elsewhere, that player will immediately go off on a hot streak. #themoreyouknow🌈

lmk if u drop skubal pls
― Mrs. Ippei (Steve Shasta), Saturday, 15 June 2024 01:37 (three months ago) link
He gave up like 4 runs tonight. Time to drop!

I woke up this morning with Bradish on the IL, Verlander DTD, Ramirez NA (congrats to the new dad).

ugh mookie injured

further to omar’s point I have dropped Sleepy Gleyber Torres so his campaign will surely get back on track

Early on, when I was bouncing around the middle of the standings, I was dutifully moving players back and forth from the bench; I figured as long as a kept on top of that, I'd make out okay. Except for forgetting to check the occasional day--once a week, maybe--I'm still doing that, once or twice without fail, and I slide a little bit more down the standings every day. I'm 11th now, down to 77.5 points--my lowest ever, I think.
Conclusion: my players just aren't that good.
― clemenza, Monday, 17 June 2024 14:04 (three months ago) link
my team weird because i have the worst offense in the league and arguably the best pitching. i’m not competitive yet this year anyway but come on hit a hr once in a while, Chourios
― francisF, Monday, 17 June 2024 18:18 (three months ago) link
lost harrison to the DL and figured i could stream starters until i got a SP back...i don't think i've even had streaming SP go so horribly wrong in all my years of fantasy baseball.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 20 June 2024 16:06 (three months ago) link
remember when i was in first place for like a month? i'm now in 10th place. i think my offensive numbers have actually gotten worse since i traded for judge (not because of judge, obviously).
― na (NA), Thursday, 20 June 2024 16:08 (three months ago) link
I have six players on the DL, five of them were Opening Day starters on offense.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 20 June 2024 18:15 (three months ago) link
I wrote that post, and last night my team put up 12R, 4HR, 12 RBIs. Obviously my words fired up the fantasy troops.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Friday, 21 June 2024 12:23 (three months ago) link
My impressive free-fall continues: 12th-place, with last well within view. I have power (most of it from Ozuna, I think) and nothing else.
― clemenza, Saturday, 22 June 2024 14:06 (three months ago) link
Royce Lewis has worked out spectacularly thus far--power from him, too--and it hasn't mattered a bit.

JACK FLAHERTY OR AMED ROSARIO
Jack Flaherty is pitching the best season of his career
Amed Rosario has lacerations after getting hit in the face with a 97 mph fastball yesterday
i'm riding the amed rosario train all the way to mvp city
― z_tbd, Sunday, 23 June 2024 22:41 (three months ago) link
well my will to try and compete this season has been crushed, i'm open to trade offers too. in particular i've got a couple of excellent closers for anyone chasing saves. looking for keepers in the lower age bracket, since i only have one option there right now. not trading rutschman or ragans but i'd listen to offers on anyone else.
― na (NA), Monday, 24 June 2024 18:23 (three months ago) link
I'm now 12th, a mere 6 points ahead of z_tbd. My collapse has been relentless.
― clemenza, Monday, 24 June 2024 18:27 (three months ago) link
Sent you an offer.
― Mrs. Ippei (Steve Shasta), Monday, 24 June 2024 18:38 (three months ago) link
(2 NA)
i was not joking, clemenza - the battle for last place will be a real one, and it will get ugly
― z_tbd, Monday, 24 June 2024 18:39 (three months ago) link
it is my honor and duty to be a competitive last place team
i do think there should be some sort of league system where the last place team gets a special bonus in the offseason, like maybe a big cash prize
― z_tbd, Monday, 24 June 2024 18:40 (three months ago) link
i am so passionate about winning that i am not only starting Lance Lynn today, but i am also physically traveling to busch stadium to cheer him on from the loge section along the first base line! i am hoping that lance lynn gets PISSED about something!

lol my team has -3 steals tonight

Done! I have found my way home.

REBUILD MODE CONTINUES:
For anyone looking for <27 keepers, I drafted a 24yo 1B currently in AAA who is currently ranked #54¹, 55², 74³ or 89th⁴ in Fantasy Dynasty/Keeper/Prospect rankings:
Spencer Torkelson (he hit 27 homeruns over Jun-Oct last year in MLB)
He is cockblocked because I have 2 *other* <27yo prospects awaiting my NA list and the other 1B I drafted as insurance has exceeded expectations.
I'm humbly looking for SVH help, eg someone who has earned ~20 SVH so far...?

NEVERMIND, lol NA accepted my trade earlier lol. Kindly disregard.
― Mrs. Ippei (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 25 June 2024 16:50 (three months ago) link
i have a similar problem - i need some 27-29 keepers for next year! i will try to some research soon and figure out if another team is a good fit for a trade. but...i have a surplus of younger keepers and decent starting pitching, up for grabs
― z_tbd, Tuesday, 25 June 2024 16:51 (three months ago) link
i feel like we are all very trade-y this season

Mon - Wed stats:
a whopping 4 for 54: .191 OBP/.130 SLG = .321 OPS
― Mrs. Ippei (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 26 June 2024 22:35 (three months ago) link
i feel like i already missed the boat on trading win-now guys, but i do have gausman and zack wheeler and rodon, the latter two of whom have been top 20 and top 100 all season, and the first of whom has also been good if you ignore the first awful month. my keepers for next season are pretty solid -- abrams, taj, basallo or gimenez in the young slots and acuna + jhoan or o'neill in the old slots -- but if someone wants to help me upgrade one of those slots, i got them pretty darn good pitchers
― Ryan seaQuest (Will M.), Thursday, 27 June 2024 15:35 (three months ago) link
also the sheet is updated once again for the end of the month (roughly)
― Ryan seaQuest (Will M.), Thursday, 27 June 2024 16:05 (three months ago) link
names i didnt bother including above in my offers but who are available include, uhh, pretty much everyone. alonso, yandy diaz, correa, winker, stanton, scherzer, bednar, etc. honestly my team looks good on paper its just been awful in practice
― Ryan seaQuest (Will M.), Thursday, 27 June 2024 16:08 (three months ago) link
Watching a rare Jays inning, and I see that Tim Mayza has a 6.20 ERA. I've left him on my roster all year, untouched--he had a great spring, or a great first few games, or something, and I think I start with the assumption that all relievers in 2024 carry sub-2.00 ERAs. This is why I'm bouncing around last place.
― clemenza, Saturday, 29 June 2024 01:54 (three months ago) link
Roused myself into cutting Mayza loose this morning.

"Lopez dominated once again...sixth start of the season with five or more innings and zero runs allowed, tying him with Tarik Skubal"
left on the bench again! I swear, if you set your SPs a few days in advance, they will sit back down if there are other changes made after (FA pickups, etc)
