  • uh, i'm cool with 14 as well, but thus far our vetting process is...nonexistent. if we're going to add two more people let's make sure that they're down to manage their teams and stay involved for the

    it's now a double secret protest. i already sent in paperwork to the commissioner, so you probably haven't seen it.

  • Here's mine.  

i'm one of two people (shouts out gandork) who've won this league twice, but i'm also probably the only one to get dead last twice. my loose-aggressive style leaves little room for mediocrity. this year i've dropped DJ LeMehuieu, and traded away Charlie Blackmon, Ketel Marte, Josh Hader, and plenty of others in the name of playing it fast and loose. you win some and you lose some. this year's verdict is still out, but i have some catching up to do. but one thing remains certain: i am going to lap the league in trades, because i'm derka fucking derka and that's how i gets down.

i'm actually pretty good at baseball. fantasy baseball? debatable. 

i'll put it you this way: if we ever had a shaggy fantasy league HR derby I've got a bill on me taking home the trophy. big daddy hacks. exclusively big daddy hacks.

I would come in 2nd if we counted texas leaguers and shots down the 1B line. 

do most of us live in Texas? I know that hg doesn't, but he's shaggy elite so that doesn't matter. why don't we all meet up for an Astros game this summer? seems silly not to have done that by now.

I'm in Dallas. But I'd be down for an Astros game if people want to get together and watch boring baseball in Houston.

I'm down.  I'm literally like 1000 feet from MMP.  

maybe so.  but hes doing his thing in a teeny tiny park that derka could go yard in.

also, i would absolutely destroy anyone here in a bp homerun derby.  make it happen.

destroy might be overstating.  i retract that part of the statement.

just this morning i was kicking myself for dropping frankie montas back in April, but i guess it's a moo point now.

6 run lead with 2 outs in the 9th? Should preserve the W for me and steal a category away from Phil. Right? 

 

Right? 

 

Angels?

Can someone tell Pete Buttigeg to stop emailing me 

Best bet ever.

this is fantastic.

last year i drafted whit merrifield but dropped him because i had jose ramirez at 2B. this year i drafted DJ LeMehieu (was supposed to be a utility fill-in guy before all of the NYY injuries) and i dropped him because I have Moose. moral of the story:

 

DJL is a large person that usually has a pretty low OPS

LeMahieu was never going to be a fill-in guy on the roster. He was going to play everyday beca8se there was no Didi and Tulo is a walking injury. I thought before the season started that he was the biggest addition to the roster, by far. He makes the whole thing go batting leadoff.

The guy can flat out hit (big shocker there) and his defense has been great (again no surprise) wherever they have had to put him. A lot of guys have issues adjusting to playing for the Yanks, but he produced right away and fit in perfectly. He is definitely outplaying his contract and should be an All-Star.

i've got a pretty busy day, so i'll have to just look in the obituaries.

I’m sure Pete Buttigeg will email you updating everyone. 

Derka, I think you've alerted the baseball gods into having some fun at your expense with your recent chatter about LeMahieu.

8/10, 4 R, 2 HR, 3 RBI, .800, 2.433 slash line against you this week.

Any chance you also dropped Lourdes Gurriel?  He's having an even better week so far.    (Edit:  Only HG.)

We all probably have players like this.  Mine this season is Austin Meadows.  Ouch.

yeah we're halfway through the week and i'm batting .369 with an OPS of 1.000 and i'm getting *crushed* in both categories, led by DJ. I feel like a horse's patoot.

it's 4 pm on wednesday and your team is currently 11/20 with 7 runs, 5 HR, 11 RBI, .550 avg, 2.041 OPS. every week the team i play against does this. if our league kept track of the stats that have been accrued against you, i'm certain i would lead the league or be near the top in every offensive category save steals. everyone just crushes the ball when they play me. 

but you have all these players.  do you want to trade me moose and jose for james mccann?

I was up 7-4-1 at 6pm on Sunday and lost bad and then Pete B emailed me. It happens.

lol jesus christ, i actually just saw it about an hour ago. i hadn't even been looking at your pitching the last two days because i wanted to off myself while looking at your offense. yeah, wow. i don't think a team can be more bipolar than yours is right now. it's like your entire lineup has been going against all of your pitchers. crazy shit.

every year someone forgets about the monster second half that carp always puts up and trades him away.  hell i think i flat out dropped him once.  good for whoever got him.

Hey @Goo Punch my trade was accepted 90 seconds ago can you push it through?

He’s also gonna be big mad when he finds out Yelich was in it. And it was a 2 for 2.
