People were flipping out at how unfair it was. Yeah, about that...their careers have gone in opposite directions since then. Sorry JBJ; that’s my bad, my blunder. But that was Derka. Derka was trade cursed; Goo Punch has a clean slate and a new outlook. And right now everything’s coming up goo. (Ew.) Edited May 5, 20187 yr by Goo Punch
May 7, 20187 yr I am searching for a power bat(s). Shoot me a deal if you see anyone on my shit team that you like.
May 7, 20187 yr I’ve got 1B and Vlad Jr for sale. Looking for a starting pitcher. With Vladdy Jr we don’t know when he’s getting called up, but history says that guys with his bat don’t get left down for too long. Last I saw I believe he had 30 RBI in 24 games while slashing .398/.455/.624. That’s a 1.079 OPS; meanwhile Donaldson has arm issues and Kendrys Morales has four total extra base hits this year, slashing .152/.236/.268. I’m thinking that Vlad will be called up by the end of the month at the latest.
May 7, 20187 yr 23 minutes ago, NOMAAA said: That seems optimistic. For his call up? Could be. I’ve just dealt with a few of these type guys in the past (as have the Cubs), and it’s always, “there’s no timetable, there’s no sign that he’ll be called up soon, there’s no guarantee he even gets called up”, and then of course the guy gets called up like a week later because everyone knows he’s crushing the ball like it’s a video game in the minors, and at some point you can’t ignore the fact that he’s better than most of your big league hitters. We’ll see though. Edited May 7, 20187 yr by Goo Punch
May 7, 20187 yr True. Just have not seen anywhere that he will see the bigs this year until September if at all.
May 7, 20187 yr I agree. This is speculation on my part. I just think that the longer he’s mashing while Morales and Donaldson scuffle, the harder it is to justify keeping a guy who could help you win today stuck in AA where he clearly outclasses his competition.
May 7, 20187 yr Oh snap, just saw that I’m playing hitby this week- that’s a big matchup. Our numbers were very similar last week, it would have been a bloodbath. Bring it on!

May 9, 20187 yr Author lol i was wondering if anyone had bundy when i saw his first inning performance tonight.

True story, I went to check my team and saw that Jorge Soler was 2/2 with a HR and 2 RBI in the first inning and I said, “Holy shit, which chump in this league has the O’s starting pitcher tonight?”, and then I scrolled down. Oh.
May 9, 20187 yr Well at least my hitters are all acting like they’re hitting against Bundy (6/12, 4 HR, 2.000 OPS). So that’s nice.
May 9, 20187 yr Author pretty sure today was my best overall day in my fantasy baseball career: 16/40, 9r, 5hr, 11rbi's, 1sb offensively 9.2ip, 3h, 0er, 10k/0bb, 1w, 1sv on the hill
May 9, 20187 yr 7 hours ago, Goo Punch said: Yeah that’s a pretty ridiculous day. 16 hits is unreal. I can barely get 16 AB's from my MASH Unit team. Also unreal.
May 12, 20187 yr It is a got damn slugfest between hitby and me. Here are some stat battles I’m currently losing in- 14 HR, 31 R, .329 AVG, 1.106 OPS. Shit is crazy yo. Edited May 12, 20187 yr by Goo Punch
May 13, 20187 yr If you need a SS or speed I’m looking to move one of mine for either an OF or a SP. I have Gleyber Torres, who is hitting .320 and driving the ball since being called up, and Tim Anderson, who believe it or not is on pace for 32 HR and 45 SB. Holler at me if you’re interested in either one.
May 14, 20187 yr I got 38 runs and lost 16 HR and lost 49 fucking RBI and tied .319 average and lost that will literally never happen again as long as I play this game. Brutal to be up 10-1-1 from Monday-Saturday night and end up 5-5-2 in one of the best offensive weeks I’ve ever had. Every day I’d get 9 runs, 4 HR, and 10 RBI and hitby would get 11, 5, and 12. Insane matchup. GG hitby.
May 14, 20187 yr 49 fucking rbi guys. That has to be a league record for most RBI in a 7-day week without winning the category. The schedule gods smiled upon 10 of you this week.

May 17, 20187 yr I had to pick up Howard Kendrick off the heap to fill in an OF spot. Little barren out there. Oh and sorry for the pitching BFing yesterday mister numbers
May 17, 20187 yr i think we can make something work. let me know when you are ready. i would like bellinger or brantley and will probably overpay for either.
