Death to all pitchers

Yup. I actually targeted them last season and hovered around .500. It was sad as gently caress, I hate them all.

Honestly last year's pitching was ridiculous. Pitchers would go out and have a decent sub 3 era game then get absolutely demolished the next game. My H2H team died in the playoffs with a legit 9 era for the week despite my ridiculous bats, and my roto team was complete trash because I didn't know who was going to gently caress me that day. It felt like every week was set off on a sour note because a Monday night pitcher on my team would get shellacked.

It was. I had a run where Kenta Maeda was my best starter. gently caress pitching.

I thought our league was full but the last guy hasn't responded, so now we've become a charity case. The draft is this Sunday at 7pm EST and we still have an opening.

Please, won't you consider making a small contribution? For the price of a cup of coffee, you can get daily reminders of this fantasy team disappointing you.

Maybe it's "full " at that exact time. Used to have that problem with fantasy football drafts on yahoo back in the day. If you waited to long to schedule your draft, you'd get stuck with only morning or afternoon slots.

Oh jeeze I never considered that. I thought Sunday nights would not be so busy, but then again every draft I've had has been Sunday now that I think of it.

Need to find some weirdos who are down with Wednesday 5:30am drafts.

So it looks like Julio Urias will not make the opening day roster which is good I guess because it means he may be pitching in the fantasy playoffs?

Makes me feel better about not targeting him even in the late rounds this year.

:qq: I took him late and feel bad now. I didn't think the Dodgers rotation is healthy enough to keep him down long much, though.

Look if Future Ace Robbie Ray was an ace then he'd already have done it for Detroit and everyone would be signing the praises of Dave Dombrowski (remember that Best Utility Man in Baseball Steve Lombardozzi was also included in that deal).

Instead he is Failed Tigers Pitcher Robbie Ray and that's a curse you just don't wash away so easily, especially not pitching at Chase Field.

Batting 7th today. It's also worth remembering he tore it up in Sept/Oct last year and in ST this year so it wasn't exactly the most unreasonable thing to hope he had flipped the switch.

Yeah I'm not dropping him, I think he's good and is just a young player scuffling.

I suppose at least it's different this year. In all 3 I drafted for hitters, and in all 3 I had really good pitching and my hitters utterly poo poo the bed.

gently caress... hitting?

Lots of good hitters are slumping like crazy right now. Can't expect them to all suck going forward, or maybe Thames and Andrus are the only good hitters left in baseball :(
