Do AAA stats count?

i’m looking do a 1-for-1 trade, one of my SP for an OF. holler at me.

I don't need starting pitchers, so both Blanco and Taj with his obscene K/9 are available. I'm looking to package them and whatever else for something including a legit power bat.

Cedanne is top 10 right now. Carroll also won’t be bad all year. And marsh/duran are solids.  In fact all my team is available. 

i could use: SS, OF, + an elite SP. somebody blow me away for Shohei. and add in one of my really-good-but-not-elite SP while you’re at it.

shohei is essentially yordan x2, and he only takes up one spot on your roster. the clock is ticking. surely someone here needs an offensive juggernaut. let’s dance.

as far as the draft goes, i only had one instance where i was caught between two players, and i damn near timed out trying to decide between yelich and oneil cruz. went with cruz,

as we can see from my previous post, i chose…poorly.

5/31 Sundays make me sad

Salvaged the week. Now half my fucking team needs to nut up and get off the IL.

What a comeback by the smash club. Poor pitcher management by me. Well done.

Timely victory [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

How many playoff teams we got? The projections say 4 but don't we usually have 6? 

it’s either the two division winners + the next four teams or the top two in each division + the next two teams. either way it’s six.

13 seed gets a bye 

I would probably have a better record if I benched my entire team every Sunday

I think in the past it’s been the two division winners and then the next four, regardless of division. But I’m not sure to be honest. 

Crochet will be your downfall. Dudes cooked. 

Also has Aggy traits.

it's this one.

I like how we do the same shit every year. Tradition and what not

We have to discuss it every year because for some reason it's set up incorrectly every year.

If I skunk Derka this week do I get a spot in the playoffs?

No but I will give you a Laurel and Hardy handshake

apparently nomaaa’s pitchers only throw perfect games now. keller and manaea combined so far for 11 innings, 3 hits, 0 bb, 15 k’s.

Thank you for knowing that. 
I was one bad pick away from having a good team this year. 

nomaaa leading the league in k’s this week with a 0.73 whip and 12.30 k/9.

espn has very clear limitations.

there was a blissful 6 minute period yesterday when i was 4-6-2, and then it all went back to shit.

now it looks like there are 8 teams fighting for 6 spots, and nobody has clinched a bye.

let's go.

looks like i fucked up the schedule this season fellas. 

working on a solution. 

  • Author

unfortunately there isn't a one size fits all solution but I will defer to the majority. 

Week 22 is typically reserved for the play-in wild card round. with the two winners advancing to play the two bye week teams in a 2-week semifinal. 

Option 1 (which gets my vote):

Week 23 - 1 week wild card round (2 div winners get bye. next 4 teams with the best win % are the WC teams)

Week 24 - 1 week semifinal (#1 seed plays the lowest seed remaining)

Week 25 - 1 week championship

I personally like this option as we play weekly matchups all season, no need to change it to two weeks now. 

 

Option 2:

only 4 teams make the playoffs and we stick with the 2 week semifinal and 2 week finale. 

Yes its the same song and dance every season but I forgot to check it this year. My apologies to all. 

 

What say the rest of you?

Option 1 if I win 8-4.

Otherwise 2. Either way I lose to Derka

But really, 1 seems closest to right.

  • Author

Oh wait! ESPN has upgraded their setting logic!

Option 3!

Week 23 - 1 week wild card round (2 div winners get bye. next 4 teams with the best win % are the WC teams)

Week 24 - 1 week semifinal (#1 seed plays the lowest seed remaining)

Week 25 - TWO week championship (I can edit this setting now)

 

 

Option 1 makes the most sense. Option 3 runs the risk of having top players not play because it's the last week of the season. 

Option 2 is not an option at all. Dick move for even suggesting it.

Derka, you need one god damn hit from ozuna.

lol it was such a sweat. felt like the day would never end with that braves game being the finale. there was a moment there when the two teams were tied .294 on avg where i had a glimmer of hope. but alas, it wasn’t to be. congrats to neil and theo. well done.

Option 1 it is. I’ll edit the schedule in the morning.

Payout reminder:

$300 for regular season winner - (Neil and Theodore's Card Shop)

$700 for playoff winner
$250 for playoff runner up
$150 for playoff third place

Will send out Venmo assignments once the playoffs wrap up.

Good job, good effort.  Fell out of the playoffs in the final week.  Likely due to managerial duncery.

That was a tight fucking race for those 5th and 6th spots.
