TheHurl Site Manager Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Typically I'll start all 4 closers at the beginning of the week until I sew up SV, then switch in my holds guys. If the team I'm facing has only one or two closers, I lean more heavily towards the holds guys early. Ideally I would roster 8 SP, but I'm making due with 7 for now. Last I checked I'm still among the league leaders in Ks and W, so it doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm also dominating saves, last I checked. 15-1 in K's. 10-3-3 in Wins. I'd say you are doing okay. Although 2-12-2 in holds you should consider switching up your start of the week strategy
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Nah, it's more a byproduct of Familia and Ziegler falling into closer roles, which threw off my initial SV/HLD mix.

Although 2-12-2 in holds you should consider switching up your start of the week strategy Nah, I only recently added the holds guys (O'Day, Herrera, Watson). I'm more competitive in holds now.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 It also allows me to play the relievers who are hottest, so I can avoid playing a Rodney or Cishek when they melt down.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 lmao, did Hurl just delete BBBB's posts in here?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Ah man, now Kahnle is closing in COL. What am I gonna do with 5 closers?!
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Ah man, now Kahnle is closing in COL. What am I gonna do with 5 closers?! That Fister offer still on the table?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Maybe, but no 3rd round pick any more.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 That Fister offer still on the table? Wasn't Fister one of the best pitchers in baseball a couple of years back? Shocking how his value has slipped so drastically in such a short time span.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Wasn't Fister one the best pitchers in baseball a couple of years back? Shocking how his value has slipped so drastically in such a short time span. His bread and butter was that filthy 2-seam fastball, but he's averaging 86 mph on it this year. Hitters aren't swinging through it, and they aren't beating it into the ground. It might be the end of the road. It's sad. I loved Doug Fister.

BTS Community Moderator Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 I told you. No, you asked if I was worried about injury.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 injury, old man breaking down, same thing
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Silvio, you looking for another closer?
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 While we're bragging about pitching advice... how about Lester for Mesoraco? (you kept big John right?)
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Silvio, you looking for another closer? Possibly.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 I would want one of your back end starters.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 I'm actively looking to move Ethier for a SP. Surely someone can use a 0.360 wOBA from CF as depth for a playoff run. I'd eve package him with Van Slyke for a legit CF platoon.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Can Aaron Brooks stick? His two starts with Oakland have been really good. Has great control, though don't think he'll be anything more than a No. 5 starter.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 I'm not here to pretend that things are meant to be fair on a message board BBBB. I'd appreciate if you don't post here please and thank you. If you want to be productive go find the BBDL thread...I can't seem to locate it anywhere
TRM Verified Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Can someone PLEASE give me a cliffnotes on everything that has happened today re: board drama?
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Can someone PLEASE give me a cliffnotes on everything that has happened today re: board drama? oh goodie I just typed this up for orgfiller Hurl roasts TL. TL starts flaming Org, me, and Boxy for getting involved. Boxy makes a post parodying TL overreacting directed at me. o2 takes it seriously and bans him. DDL asks why he was banned. King copies and pastes the post to the DDL thread, so o2 bans him too. JFaS finds out someone knows he posts that shouldn't know that, and sees o2 power tripping, so spams the board with denimtista and "o2 sucks" along with njh, then gets Hurl to ban him and delete all his posts but not his threads while pretending that o2 was the one that banned him (hi o2, I know you username search, I don't really care anymore switch the f***ing name of the Orioles Hangout thread back). Hurl manages to f*** that up and deletes all his threads but not his posts. So there's no more BBDL thread. the end also tell me when you can't make a GDT and I'll fill in Edited August 8, 2015 by GD
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Can someone PLEASE give me a cliffnotes on everything that has happened today re: board drama? Boxy and King were banned by o2. JFaS started spamming the forum with garbage and was banned bu Hurl. Hurl 'accidentally' deleted the BBDL thread in banning JFaS
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Wow, GD knows more things than I do.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Wow, GD knows more things than I do. thats cauz your dumn
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 OH OH OH and Spanky made fun of Twisted Logic for creating fake facebook accounts of Jeff Hoffman, Jacob Nix, etc to help him do better in the facebook game Megapolis
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 thats cauz your dumn It was't always this way. I was young and in the loop.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 It was't always this way. I was young and in the loop. Don't worry, in another 10 years I'll be you and there'll be some new version of me, ******** 3.0

I suggest we delete the DDL thread to make sure (j/k) This is a perfect example of why we try to insist that people post trades in the proboards thread though, just in case, so that we still have a record of them.
