BTS Community Moderator Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Looks like it just went down to .282. Asssssshole.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Speaking of which, prepare yours, next week's slam vid is gonna rock it! http://i.imgur.com/Qx7F5FS.jpg LOL @ Mortal Kristo I really hope we're within 1-2 games of each other going into the last week. Because that would be awesome.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 McCarthy was never unplayable. A guy with an ERA around 5 most of the year isn't unplayable? News to me.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 McCarthy's worst game xFIP was 4.47 and has only been over 4 in 3 starts. Worst month was June with 3.02 xFIP... Even if he was getting ERA unlucky, his K/BB was elite for a starter. xFIP isn't a fantasy stat. The K/BB was good but he didn't have value anywhere else.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I hope you don't bench a guy because ERA. Unplayable means they suck and you expect gas can. Couldn't say that about McCarthy. No, I chose to not put myself in that position to begin with. O'Day has been great, and I don't regret moving McCarthy for him. I only regret Hughes.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Playability is determined by how good you expect them to be in their next start, not what there ERA actually was. I really dislike arguing with you about pitching so I'm gonna leave this.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Playability is determined by how good you expect them to be in their next start, not what there ERA actually was. Boxy is saying McCarthy didn't really contribute, so he doesn't regret trading him. Because he didn't accrue much/any fantasy value anyway, even though xFIP suggests that he should have.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Alright, I just hope you don't go "Ohh McCarthy's xFIP this year is 2.80, but is ERA is 5.01 therefore I should bench him." No, of course not. I'd have played him most weeks expecting improvement, but looking back would you have been better off sitting him during most of the first half? Absolutely. It sucks that he was unlucky but it is what it is.
havok24 Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Christ almighty, I started Buchholz and Cahill today because Havok has 11ty starts this week. Getting my ass handed to me by the 19th place team. That would be the 18th place team brah!
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 That would be the 18th place team brah! Holy s***, I didn't realize jaysfever's team was THAT bad.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 How many f***ing thanks did King just dole out?
havok24 Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Holy s***, I didn't realize jaysfever's team was THAT bad. Yeah I feel like I was at least 15 games out of 18th like a few weeks ago.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Aw none for you, that's some cold s***. Silvergun? More like Silverdumn. http://i.imgur.com/RI3d4RA.jpg
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Please continue doing the city of London and all its fine citizens proud.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 This never happened. I screenshotted it specifically so that when you removed your thanks you couldn't pull this s***. And it's good because I'm too dumn to edit in a thanks with HTML.
jays_fever Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 As bad as my team has been the past 4 or so weeks, I'm still 25 games ahead of boxy.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 As bad as my team has been the past 4 or so weeks, I'm still 25 games ahead of boxy. The DDL is for losers anyway!
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Man, I know I'd really covet a hard-won title over randy the robot. I'm pretty happy that Boxy is dominating the BBDL. It makes us DDL folk look awesome.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 i'm pretty happy that boxy is dominating the bbdl. It makes us ddl folk look awesome. .377 slg
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Man, I know I'd really covet a hard-won title over randy the robot. Don't worry, I'm getting Joe Wieland back soon and then you f***ers are in trouble.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 .377 slg Yeah, but 152-97. More than one way to skin a cat.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Don't worry, I'm getting Joe Wieland back soon and then you f***ers are in trouble. Carter Capps is a stud. Yeah, but 152-97. More than one way to skin a cat. You know who says that? My dad. Yes, I'm trying to make you feel old.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Holy s***, ROS SLG projections for Bogaerts: ZiPS = 0.394 Steamer = 0.386 My worst player is projected to slug 10-20 points higher than my team's collective slugging % 20 weeks into the season. f*** this season so much.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 My BBDL team is slugging .449 on the season. How wonderful for you!

Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 In other news, with a big win this week, I could expand my division lead over Boxy to 115 games.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Looks like my team is just susccessful enough to not get one of the good dispersion picks.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Looks like my team is just susccessful enough to not get one of the good dispersion picks. You're right in the MLSE sweet spot!
