my least favorite thing in fantasy baseball is when I'm offered a trade of two for one, I refuse, and then like 2 days later the other guy drops one of the two they were offering me. like, thanks for confirming you were offering garbage you were about to drop anyway? it kind of makes you look lovely.

I sent a blanket offer to my league for the worst player on their roster for Jose Bautista.

I'm so sick of Jose Bautista.

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
Fantasy baseball hurts when you are in two leagues, only because this week I own Freeman & Harper in one, and my opponent in the other league owns both, as well. Their success is also my downfall.

I'd probably bite on trading for Bautista, if only because he's my favourite player.

I'm one of those guys who sends out feeler trades to get the conversation going. It's not an insult it's just a poke to gauge interest before cutting. There's more than a few waiver wire guys I'd rather pick up in a trade than compete with other people to get.

Anyway could explain why no one will respond to any of my trades in the goon league

I just noticed Oh and Herrera are both on the wire in one league, would you guys drop Manaea for one of them? My rotation is pretty solid and he was earmarked as the "streamer" slot anyway.

I don't have a problem with that if its a guy i want. That way i don't have to use a waiver or fight others for him :frogbon:

Some people have really poor judgement of who they should drop and id gladly take them for an end of bench guy

It's always fun when the middle relievers you draft in holds leagues get too good and end up as closers. And by always fun I mean not fun at all.

Thats what I wanted to do in the goon league this year but we went for Saves and Holds as two separate categories. It's actually pretty fun trying to find a balance on the roster or punting one of the categories. My strategy has been to grab holds guys that occasionally spot in the 9th when the closer was used the day before. It sometimes gives me that extra boost I need to win both categories.

Start Tyler Glasnow against the Yankees? And do you like him this season? I saw his start vs. the Cubs and, yes he is wild, but so much movement on some pitches, looked like he was throwing a wiffle ball or something.

It's tough because I don't trust Glasnow but I don't want to cut him in a 12-teamer, where there's no one with his potential on the wire.

vs the Yankees is a tough call, because they've been blowing up guys who can't hit their spots but then almost get Maddux'd by Gonzalez.

But I don't think Glasnow is ready to be an everyday starter yet regardless. I wouldn't drop him, he's a good stash.

They didn't give a notification when Tyson Ross was starting yesterday either. Which was really annoying since I'd been holding him for 3 weeks or whatever it's been. ESPN is way better on notifications.
