Ugh. Brandon Maurer got hit haaaaarrrrrd by a case of the "closers pitching in non-save situations suck absolute poo poo" today. No recorded outs and he gave up four runs. The Padres were already down like 8 runs when he came into the game. And then, to top it all off, Erick Aybar came in and finished the inning without getting charged a run.

Fuuuuuuuck I am tempted to pick up Hand now but that situation is such a poo poo show.

I dropped Lamet and picked up Godley simply for the team name possibilities his ownership opens up.

I had Godley on one team and was planning on holding onto him through the demotion, but apparently his spot in the rotation is in doubt even though he's been solid as hell, so I'm just letting him ride the wire for now.

Also gonna have to keep an eye on Keone Kela.

Watson out.

Rivero and Nicasio in as closers. I have to imagine it's Rivero's job to lose, right?

To sign them is my real test

With full no movement clause
The whole arbitration thing might come into play if they're equally good, but if Rivero is lights out, he's got the better stuff.

Isn't he also a lefty? Not that that apparently mattered with Watson


I dropped Watson and used my stream spot to grab both and just see what happens

I've explicitly told him already I have no interest in these 3-for-1 deals, especially if he's gonna offer me guys destined for the wire.

Sadly, he makes even worse counter offers when I do that, often even more in his favor. I have stopped responding completely, but I leave the trade sitting there until it expires so he cannot send another offer until it times out or he cancels it himself.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
My league has been together half our lives and it's gotten to the point that if you don't get a response within 24 hours your rear end got pocket vetoed and it's up to you to decide if you want to retract in shame

Just sit on the offer and not respond until it expires. Usually reserved for poo poo rear end offers

It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.
When I get a terrible offer, I offer something similar to them so hopefully they realize how insulting it is. As a bonus, I sometimes get an angry message back.

Their Zimmerman and Waino for my Donaldson and Lamb

I offer Lamb and Berrios for Arenado and Zimmerman

They offer their Zimmerman, Kipnis, Volquez for my Donaldson, Miggy, Lamb

My latest offer to them is my Lamb, Gordon, Berrios for their Arenado, Lindor, and Zimmerman


I can keep this up all day.

Just read about this stat. This makes me feel better. I took a quick glance at his Fangraphs page, and from my amateur eyes, other than a lower LD% (which, truth be told, I am unsure how it affects counting stats), I didn't see anything terribly amiss.

He's 11th in avg exit velocity, and 6th in % of times his velocity is 95MPH+.

Last night he hit a ball so hard it nearly went through the green monster. It may have been a HR in other parks, and it was never more than like 20 feet off the ground.
