Yeah they just talked about that on the radio. Apparently he described it as a "sharp pain" when he first felt it which I guess usually means a break? Basically a season ending injury if true.

In redraft maybe, but if you locked my dynasty team right when prospect callups were coming I would quit that league.

I just give the ultimatum that if you're in the consolation bracket but clearly loving with people in contention then you get hosed in the draft :v:

I am reminded this morning of my least favorite thing about September baseball: injured players never going on the DL

looking at you specifically, Michael Fulmer.

Isn't he seeing Dr. Andrews?

RIP

yeah, he's almost assuredly done for the year, but if he doesn't need surgery then he's probably worth keeping and I don't want to just effectively give him away to someone

Down 4-5-1, the only things that can change are my R (down 1), HR (down 1) and RBI (down 3) with my Lonnie Chisenhall left to go tonight.

If I'd left DEE loving GORDON in my UTIL spot when he didn't start the game, I would have gotten his solo home run (his god drat second of the year), tied HR and RBI and won the matchup 4-3-3 already, climbing back in everything all week after getting JD Martinez'd on Sunday.

gently caress this poo poo. That's gotta be one of the worst bad-beats of all time fantasy history, a DEE GORDON home run.

I once lost in the finals of a fantasy basketball league on literally the last shot of the season, a three point shot by marcus morris (e: or maybe markieff) at the buzzer in a game his team was losing by like seven points :colbert:

Why's he special?

Because he might end up being in the lineup on days he's not pitching

The Christian Yelich Paradox. Yelich is the #36 player in my league by total stats and one of my best player by that. But by average daily stats, he's #235 which means every day he should be one of the worst players to start. So arguably I should bench him every day, but he's near the top in overall stats for fantasy.

Average daily stats has poo poo-tons of players with incredibly low amounts of playing time loving everything up

I should really consider moving the playoffs back a week but in a 12 team league it lines up too perfectly to have the finals on the last week :(

Innings limit is hard because if you're like 19 under and start three guys that all go 7+ innings (and maybe get an inning or two from closers) it's not really your fault for picking good pitchers and I don't like the idea for punishing people in that case (which is why it probably allows you to go over the limit on the day you do).

But if you blow way past it intentionally then that's different. I'm about as rules lawyer-y as it gets and even I wouldn't do that.

The guy I was most worried about I beat 10-0-2 in the semis. If I had played him this week I think he would have swept me 12-0.

I think both of us would have whooped your rear end lol. I wasn't managing my lineup at all and left a ton of pitching on the bench. That's baseball! :v:

Right click the image and pick "copy image location" or whatever your browser's equivalent is, then paste that.

Also gently caress I hate how bloated the new forums look is.
