Bump Hadley. Buddy Myer is probably expendable, that offense is too expensive.

Interesting park choices in the 2-man band league with seemingly over half the owners taking +1B/2B/3B but -HR parks.

Ahahaha poor Pedro Martinez, now instead of being in the Bonds/Appling/Ichiro division he's pitching in the Bonds/Ruth/Lave Cross division.

In my OL I've got 4 games to go and I'm tied for the division lead with the team I'm going to play the final series with. He's got 2009 Josh Bard for a catcher and he was at 77% at the start of the pm game. Should I crank everyone up to steal as much as possible here? I really only have '87 Raines and '80 Miguel Dilone as normally stealing right now, but against that catcher I feel like almost anyone with a speed > 70 should be taking off. Opinions?

I wouldn't let a guy with 70 speed but who went 0-for2 in steals that year run.jeffersonlives posted:Two cycles left, one game lead Our magic # to clinch 2nd place is 3 so even if we don't take first overall we should still take 2nd.

AlleyViper posted:Now excuse me while I go furiously knock on wood. I don't really have any unfavorable matchups and am actually starting against a few really mediocre pitchers in PM, more knock on wood: 95 Maddux (ATL, 79-82) vs. 09 Mathewson (NYG, 91-70) - neutral 05 Reulbach (CHC, 76-85) vs. 09 Carpenter (STL, 70-91) - favors us 77 Seaver (CIN, 82-79) vs. 63 Koufax (LAD, 61-100) - favors us 72 Sutton (LAD, 85-76) vs. 82 Soto (CIN, 75-86) - favors us 18 Toney (NYG, 95-66) vs. 09 Vazquez (ATL, 75-86) - favors us 15 Alexander (PHI, 87-74) vs. 19 Adams (PIT, 94-67) - neutral 09 Camnitz (PIT, 84-77) vs. 06 Sparks (PHI, 77-84) - neutral 81 Rincon (STL, 88-73) vs. 19 Alexander (CHI, 78-83) - neutral I'd hope to go 6-2 as a median outcome given that slate, frankly. Carpenter, Soto, and Vazquez shouldn't even be rostered in this league (which probably speaks to why those teams suck).

Thanks, advice taken but I cranked up the guys who can actually steal and set my pinch runners to occur more often. Hopefully that gives me enough of an edge to win the series, especially considering he's running out of pitching % as well.

Congratulations, guys! As a sidenote, my RC&C team is painfully mediocre, with the exception of extra innings-record; with 99 games played, they're 0-13. I wonder what the record is for most winless extra-inning games in a season is?

Lol, that awful Coors team I entered got 1906 Bill Bergen in AAA. # line of 165 .181 .209 .390 ownssssss edit: Bill Bergen inspired me to throw this together  As far as my silly gimmick teams go I kind of like it.

Through 4 games 2007 Bonds has 8 walks, 1 hit, and 1 strikeout. 2007 Bonds is the best Bonds.
