I'm no quitter.

Are we bringing in any new rule/lineup changes for the year? I could not remember if we talked about changes last year or not.

D.B. Cooper and Abbie Hoffman have not checked in for a while.

what are we thinking?

We need to vote on categories.

k/bb is the WORST

So you prefer k/9 or QS?  Or want to reduce pitching categories or add back the hold?

Perhaps try Saves+Holds so we can use more middle relievers?

Edited by beer

QS is an abortion of a category. Let's never mention it ever again. 

biggest gripe i had last season was the end of year 3-1 trade between last place team and first place team.  trade deadline around ASB would be great.  not saying shennanigans were happening, but gandorf picking up eloy julio and melancon late in the season for shohei was.....not great.

julio was hurt my entire playoff run while shohei beasted, but i agree, there needs to be a hard and fast trade deadline.  it needs to be the same every year.  and that day/night should be pure, unadulterated chaos in our league.

i agree that qs should never be spoken of again.  that stat is a joke these days and not a funny one.  wins can be unpredictable in a more fun way, and high leverage "hold" relievers always have the upside of getting big outs that turn into wins.

i don't mind k/bb or k/9 though i always seem to suck at it.  we should keep it 6x6 so if nobody can come up with a better pitching stat, i say k/bb stays.

seconded. and i'm thinking the trade deadline should probably be some time in july.  not so early that contending teams can't make impactful moves, but not so late that teams can just add 3-4 new players just before the playoffs. maybe like july 20th or something?

I would be ok with July 20th. I was going to suggest 8/1, but I have no real reason why that would have been the date.

7.20 is good with me.  i like midweek, but could we make it closer to a friday, so the new players would be available the following monday?

the asg is july 11th. that could be the deadline so you’ll have new players for the 10 day matchup right after. 

I am all about anything hold and k/9 related

I like the idea of hold+save as a category.

I love the trade deadline and that y’all are on board. Looking forward to a no trade season for me.

you guys are so fucked.  

I mean at this point I expect to either barely miss or barely make the playoffs and flame out in round 1. It's what I do. 

I'll send a message out on the ESPN site so hopefully the other two chime in. 

I don't think hitby wanted to play last year until I bullied him

Also, I'd suggest that both Wins and Quality Starts are equally terrible, though for different reasons. What other options do we have in ESPN fantasy baseball? Quality Appearance? Scoreless Innings?
