Also guys in the consolation bracket taking the good pitchers to stream... Gotta get that coveted 7th place instead of 8th place.

The winner of the consolation in my league gets a ball in the draft lottery and I'm going to win it and it's the only thing keeping me sane after this dogshit season

Same. My team is tanking so hard right now in the playoffs. No one is hitting, and I had solid pitching behind Verlander only for Buttrey to loving poo poo sideways.

The guy I'm playing has so many streaky dudes at the moment. :negative:

Can you elaborate on the lottery process for your league?

Our championships ended last week. I finished 2nd. My pitching struggled as it had most of the season. Over 2 weeks I ended with 6 QS and 7 wins. I went from leading 7-5-0 at the end of the first week to losing 5-7-0. It was a neck and neck match up though, made it pretty entertaining.

If I didn't set my league as a keeper league before it began in Yahoo, is it still possible to make it a keeper league into next year? I don't see the option to set it as a keeper league mid-season.

It's a 12 team league, we give teams 9-12 a "ball" and the winner of the consolation gets one too (if one of the bottom 4 wins the lottery, they will get two total). We then draw for the first three picks with the team finishing 12th overall in the regular season guaranteed one of the top 3 picks, and picks 4-6 decided by regular season record worst to best

Made it into 4 out of 5 championships INCLUDING my money league, so I am guaranteed a payout ($225 for the winner, $75 for 2nd)!

I thought my day was over and I have already pulled a huge comeback to win but now I have to wait and make sure Jason Kipnis doesn't single handedly close a 21 point OPS lead. Otherwise I am a couple hours away from a championship in my money league!

My semifinal matchup came down to needing a Kyle Freeland win or a Wade Davis Dave. Got both.

One of my best friends is a giant poo poo-talker who only played fantasy baseball because my league needed a body (he’s never watched a baseball game in his life).

He won our league (beating me in the quarterfinals) and I’m now dreading the next year. :eng99:

So I don't know how many people are actually paying attention but the Fire and Forget league is going to come down to the wire which kind of owns




Notable: Jersey Weathermen has hit the innings cap so his pitching stats are locked, meaning he will almost assuredly lose a point as my (terrible) team is only one back of his in SVH. He might gain one back though in WHIP depending on Acuna Moncada's pitchers.

Made it to the finals in my big money league, winning a tight 7-5 in the semis. :toot:

Already had guaranteed money for finishing first in the regular season, but now I'm guaranteed more (or much more).

I benched him for Willians Astudillo in the final week. Basically have homers wrapped up but really need to hang on to average and Sanchez is just murdering my team. Thought about playing without a catcher but Astudillo doesn't seem like he can hurt.

Where would y'all draft Gary Sanchez next year? Because he could realistically go for 40 bombs, 100 runs, 120 RBI. Getting that kind of production from a catcher, with how terrible that position is, could win your league. I think he'll be gone by the 3rd round, the upside is just too enticing, which means I probably won't get him.

He might not even be ranked in the top 100 at this point. He looks like poo poo.

We'll have to wait and see what he looks like in spring training. If he looks to be in The Best Shape of His Life, I'll consider getting him.

I loving benched Sanchez in the final week because he was destroying my average and he just hit a 3-run homer.

He'll fall a bunch next year. I'd say around the 100 mark. Realmulto should go before him. For as bad as he was this season, he does still hit for great power out of the catcher position. And there does seem to be a bit of bad luck when it comes to his average (.194 BABIP is crazy low). If that levels off a bit he should be hitting at least .230.

Spring could alter it but right now I wouldn't draft him until the 60-80 range so not before the 6th round.

I'm the worst at drafting though, I ended up outright cutting my 5th, 8th, 10-14th, 16th, 18-19th, and 21-25th picks. My second pick was Correa, who was cut after I traded him. But I won so lol.
