Step right up and greet the Mets
I've been agonizing over dropping Ryan Braun but I can't hold out anymore. I'm in a H2H semi-final with no hitting bench (need as many SPs as possible) and I'm thinking the Brewers have effectively shut Braun down but just aren't confirming it yet.

I coasted to a first place regular season finish but over the past 3 weeks I've lost: Tulo, Billy Hamilton and now Braun to injury.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
I've had Iwakuma, Stroman and Smyly push me so far ahead in my pitching H2H categories.

But the unexpected deaths of Adam Jones and Ryan Braun will probably end me :shepicide:

Good old Wade Miley today with one of my biggest frustrations in fantasy baseball: a guy having a quality start and then being left in too long until he no longer has a quality start.

I'm up 10-1 in the semifinals, but all of the categories are still too close for comfort. I think I'm going to use my final two roster moves of the week on an offensive stream and one more pitcher start. Hope I don't gently caress up!!!

It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.
Tom Koehler at home vs ATL looks like a good bet. Ender Inciarte, if available, has been pretty good lately and might be a FA.

And if for some reason nobody has Michael Conforto, (FA in my league) that might be a good pickup.

My season is over. :( I lost to "prospects guy"

I picked up Koehler because of his 2 start week, lets hope he does better this time!

It would be funny if I beat you in saves, though. After tallying a total of 0 through the first 18 weeks of the season. :lol:

None of the four pitchers I've streamed have done anything but hurt me. Meanwhile, my opponent has Rich Hill (yes, that loving Rich Hill) throw a complete game shutout. What the gently caress is this nonsense?

I have Rich Hill, stud last week, stud this week! Things are tight, my P ratios are blown, I have all the O but he is catching up quickly. Still got 5 arms to throw out, don't know what he has.

I have 5 more starts, plus 2 more streaming slots. So most likely 7. However, I thought I was gonna get blown out offensively after a weak start but in 2 at-bats AJ Pollock has brought me back from the brink. Pollock must have been the steal of every draft, I got him for $1.

I streamed Hill and started Carrasco too. I'm benching my pitchers from now on since there's no way I can be beaten in w, era, k, and whip. Time for my offense to step up a bit though.

In my money points league where we only get 7 starts and there are 15 teams, I started Arrieta, Cole, Liriano, Strasburg, RICH HILL and Cole Hamels so far. im going to set a league record for points in a week and it's the semifinals. Nice timing.

My opponent, through six starts, has allowed 5 earned runs in 42 innings, with 43 Ks, only 6 walks and only 27 hits allowed

Meanwhile, through six starts, I've allowed only 5 earned runs in 57 INNINGS, with 70Ks and only 28 hits allowed lol.

In my case it's more a result of having CC Sabathia / Archie Bradley / Ian Kennedy / Carlos Frias all rostered and being desperate enough to pick up lottery tickets for SP. On that note, is Mike Wright worth trying out?

I'm currently up 6-4. Tied in steals and RBI. Only winning WHIP by .01. I can't settle for a tie as my opponent holds the tiebreaker. I have Bryant and Fowler going tonight and he has Polanco and Coghlan. I have Doolittle and Kimbrel possibly to pitch. He has Tony Watson and Strop.
