A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

North benched two Wins yesterday, that may come back to bite him.

I haven't seen him post in LOD or DDL threads the last couple of days. Maybe he didn't set his lineup

[TRM]

Sounds like it will coincide perfectly with when we matchup in the playoffs.

 

What a narrative.

 

Well NJH, looks like it's come true.

 

Burnett to return in the middle of a playoff matchup to vanquish his previous owner? Only time will tell.

Votto hitting two dongerz off Burnett to sink you would be swell.

 

PS Burnett is a double agent and we planned this. Start him if you dare!

Probably just sensible strategy to bench Porcello vs Toronto and Doubront vs Houston. Didn't work out though.

He's facing Milwaukee, dumny.

 

It depends on where the matchup is of course, but I didn't gamble on him to leave him on the bench. Us 2nd Legers live on the edge.

The only way North would forget to set a lineup in the playoffs is if he was literally dead, so it must have been a choice. Personally I like to play for W and K and let the ratios fall where they may until the weekend. I wouldn't own Porcello, tho.

I kind of want to own Porcello. North is about to come in here and talk him up, but I wonder where his value lies in the offseason.

[Dr. Dinger]

I probably hate Porcello more than any other person on the planet, though.

As a general rule of thumb, if North likes someone, I hate them.

[Laika]

Porcello is the ultimate 20 team league tease. 1210 career innings, 3.87 xFIP, 4.39 ERA. Straddles the keeper line - although his improved K and K/BB rates make him more attractive than he was previously.

[BTS]

Holy crap, Joey Votto is in the middle of a 7-win season?

Holy crap, Joey Votto is in the middle of a 7-win season?

 

He has been incredible, especially down the stretch. Easily my best pick of the LOD draft

[Laika]

Votto's BB% is 29.0% in the 2nd half, and his wOBA is .532.

 

221 PA

 

An absolute tank.

 

And Barry Bonds had multiple full seasons with better marks, lol.

 

Imagine owning Bonds' entire career in a league like the DDL?

[Laika]

In real life playoff news, Nathan Eovaldi getting elbow inflammation is pretty sweet for Toronto.

[AdamGreenwood]

They say the Yankees targeted Eovaldi because they liked his splits when he was with a decent pitch framer.

I bet we could get Vance Worley off of Pittsburgh pretty cheap.

[jays_fever]

Maybe if Votto stopped being selfish in just walking and started driving in some runs like he's paid to do the Reds wouldnt be in last place

[AdamGreenwood]

The Reds don't really need a guy to lead the league in being left on base.

[Laika]

Imagine how good Votto could be if he wasn't such a pussy

[BTS]

Peak Bonds in the DDL would be an automatic ticket to the playoffs. Unless catsass owned him.

[Sammy225]

Just out of curiosity..... If you had stroman on your roster and pitching stats where close come Saturday.... Would you start him?

I'm doing it in the PL.

100%

[Sammy225]

Just curious i likely would but i don't think i would be as confident as NJH

Of course.

The playoffs just sound like too much extra work.

[KingKat]

I'd start Stroman. I usually only bench guys by accident or if I am running away and hiding in the matchup.

[Dr. Dinger]

I was indeed away for the last few days with limited connectivity. Was split on the decision to start Porcello. I'm very happy to have made the playoffs. Our matchup should be a real dogfight.

 

Congrats to NJH on a well-deserved Turkey Bacon Club Title.

 

I was looking forward to watching Carrasco v Rodon today but it's in delay. A PPD would turn this into a one start week for Carrasco though, which would be nice.
