In the championship now, two week matchup, H2H points and I have Darvish/Lester/Fernandez/CMartinez all starting Friday, which puts them at Wednesday starts for next week, which means they miss having 3 starts this matchup by ONE DAY. Bleh.

On top of that, Blackmon is in perpetual 'could come back any day now' mode. I only get 3 acquisitions a week and I'd like to use them to stream some pitchers at the end of next week, but every day Blackmon sits is another couple point I could have got from some WW OF.

For cheap in my keeper league no less! He and Sanchez are already marked as my first two locks.

My opponent and I have been tied at 6-6-0 for most of the week with swings of 3 in either direction that last an hour or so.

Playoffs are stressful.

(The 6-6-0 line is perfectly split with him winning all batting stats and me winning all pitching.)

I'm the guy in a keeper league with one NA slot, my last three picks were Urias, Turner, and Moncada. I dropped Turner when he didn't make the opening day roster (hoped he would play SS and I had Cesar Hernandez with Kang on the DL). My arch-rival picked him up to stash and now his offense is raking while mine is sputtering into a bye

Beautiful.

They were 0-30 at one point, but Brian Dozier had to get a hit...

Thanks to the nature of H2H that didn't affect my chances of getting a bye at all.

to win my playoff matchup I need to win OBP.

I'm currently up .3289 to .3272

the guy I'm playing has Bregman v Arrieta.

I have Correa, Gattis, Zobrist, and Soler.

Assuming that I enter the night game ahead, do I just start Zobrist? Do I bench them all? Super conflicted.

Ugh. In my main H2H league, we have a regular-season best record payout. I have statistically the best team in the league by a decent margin, but I'm currently in 2nd place by 1 game. I lost WHIP last week by a fractional amount and with the way my match and the one seed's match are going, if it ended right now, I'd lose the top overall spot by half a game. However, if Hector Rondon can get a hold tonight, it will secure me as the regular season champ on a tiebreaker. :shepicide:

No idea, but good luck! Correa Soler and Zobrist all have OBPs above .329 so bench Evan Gattis maybe? Or just start them all because who the hell knows

Someone please tell me that trading Alex Reyes and Kyle Schwarber (and a mid round pick) for Corey Kluber isn't going to make me sad like eight months from now. It's a keeper league and the playoffs start tomorrow.

Our league locks rosters for the week on first pitch monday and they're on waivers until Tuesday morning.

I think I'll still win but it will be a lot closer than it would've otherwise. I'm kind of tempted to report it as there's actually a fair amount of money on the line :/

I did that once in football, forcing my playoff opponent with an injured QB into starting Alex Smith like a decade ago. I was karmically massacred as Alex Smith went off, so hopefully you will also have your divine retribution

This is specifically against the rules on all fantasy sites. Why not talk to your commish? Unless your opponent is the commish, in which case you got a problem.

I was playing Harvest Moon 64 with this kid who lived on my street and my cows were not doing well and I got so raged up and frustrated that my eyes welled up with tears and my friend was like are you crying dude. Are you crying because of the cows. I didn't understand the feeding mechanic.
Woooo made it into the playoffs in my pro h2h league, sitting pretty in 3rd place. Not liking my chances, though, with my rotation of garbage - right now it's Maeda, Nova, Davies, Guerra, Skaggs, Santana, Luke Weaver, and Boyd. Heh. Maybe I can find some streamers...
