August 14, 20223 yr Author is this league the same as the fantasy hoops league, ie do the top two records overall get the 1/2 seeds and the byes, or do the division winners each get a bye?
August 14, 20223 yr Author in fact that's a good question re; the entire playoffs- if its the same as the hoops league then BO manually sets the schedule once we hit the last five weeks of the mlb season, where we have a 1 week WC round followed by four weeks of semifinal/final matchups, again, with the divisions being meaningless, and the top two w/l records being the 1/2 seeds.

August 14, 20223 yr Author yeah, i feel like option one is what we've done before. also, bummer for me if the divisions do matter. ive had it in my head for a while now that im in a position to have the second bye. no matter. we'll do it the hard way.
August 14, 20223 yr Author Devin Williams this week: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 3 K, 2 W, 1 SV not only is he still on the block, i am actively trying to move him. first person to send me a decent bat/speed for him can have him.
August 14, 20223 yr Author oh yeah, Devin on the season: 44.1 IP, 24 H, 8 ER, 71 K. was leading the league in holds before he took uber the closer role. he's basically right handed hader, only better (at least for this year).
August 14, 20223 yr Tell me again how bullshit this trade was? Unless you meant me gettings the best player in fantasy off the top team. Then yes, i agree
August 14, 20223 yr You’re in last place with no hope for the playoffs. Why are you even trading players in the first place? Let alone to the first place team. Doesn’t make any sense but thems the breaks I guess. Eloy had suppressed value to being hurt for a third of the season.

I forgot to make everyone have bye weeks. Our regular season ends week 19. So week 20 is the wild card 1-week playoff. Winners of Week 20 will face the division winners in the normal playoff schedule. But yes, it stupidly ends on a Wednesday so the championship will be 2.5 weeks. Odd. I've made the changes on the schedule.

Julio has been hurt. Mark is....well Mark. Just because im in last doesn't mean i have to roll over and die the rest of the season. I'm all for changing our rules to do a trade deadline but thats always been met with no votes.

August 14, 20223 yr Payout reminder: $700 for playoff winner $300 for regular season winner $250 for runner up $150 for third place

August 14, 20223 yr Final two weeks of the season. IF the playoffs started today (assuming my math is right with the current scoreboard): Division Winners (BYE): #1 seed - HG #2 seed - NOMAAA Wild card week (Week 20): #3 seed - Derka vs #6 seed - Phil AND #4 seed - Capn vs #5 seed - Castonlon
August 14, 20223 yr For those saying basement teams don't matter.... My domination over NL this week knocked him from the 6 seed. You are all welcome.
August 14, 20223 yr Division winners get byes then the rest of it is up to league wide standings. Is that correct?
August 14, 20223 yr agree divisions should matter but they should change every season. otherwise it’s not fair to the teams stuck in my division. that’s right, shots fired.

August 18, 20223 yr Author hey @henrygandorf, really dope move trading shohei to my current opponent the very moment that your matchup with me ended. not only do i get to face him teo weeks in a row, but he's got a two-start week this time around! at least only 8/12 from the plate this week! 🤬🤬🤬

August 18, 20223 yr Author FTR i hate hate hate keeper leagues, so that's gonna be a big time no for me dawg.
August 18, 20223 yr Author So nobody here wants this guy? since May 14th: 37 G 34.1 IP 14 H 8 BB 53 K 1 ER 0.64 WHIP 0.26 ERA i'm out here punting saves, trying to give this guy away, and nobody here wants to even make an offer. booooooo. boo. Edited August 18, 20223 yr by shadow_operative
