SpeedyGose Verified Member Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I just don't understand how after the CS incident, you would come in and start the same s*** again? IIRC, our league drafts before any of the others so there's no reason to not just wait until the actual draft to find out who we're taking (not that other leagues don't correct our mistakes anyways). Plus he came in and dropped the initials, many were figured out but not all. He then came back and said you didnt get them all though, then North found Keller. Pretty annoying and s***** imo.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I just don't understand how after the CS incident, you would come in and start the same s*** again? I'm guessing probably because he really enjoys being a know-it-all. What was the CS incident? Link or PM me.
Cyborg Verified Member Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I really don't see how I was more of an ******* than Dinger or North but okay. I already deleted my posts awhile ago, but can't delete quotes. I understand name dropping is frowned upon, but it's fun to talk about prospects and not being able to talk about them on a public message board is dumn. No one that I mentioned (didn't even say names) would be missed if someone just sorted the minor league leaderboards like everyone does before the draft anyways.
Cyborg Verified Member Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I'm guessing probably because he really enjoys being a know-it-all. What was the CS incident? Link or PM me. Literally just talking about how last year's draft class was strong with NJH. There was no incident.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Literally just talking about how last year's draft class was strong with NJH. There was no incident. It was an accident after which you were told specifically to quit it with the name dropping which you didn't. If you want to talk minor leagues, prospects, whatever, there are other threads for that.

Cyborg Verified Member Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I'm sorry for offending anyone, obviously had no intentions of doing so.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 There is a big bloc of owners in this league who really hate naming unowned players so I suppose it's best to leave prospect talk to other threads. I agree that it's weird since everyone will end up doing the same minor league sorts next month anyway but it is what it is. I found the name because I figured people would just keep guessing until Cyborg confirmed. Didn't mean to contribute to an incident. Cyborg has a trusted opinion (for some reason) so there could be guys that people give a glance at but go "meh" and move on. Him name dropping might push some people's opinions. You and him both think so black and white, as if it's stupid to not want the players you covet announced to the whole world by someone with clout. It's inconsiderate. If he's curious to know who's going at the top of the draft, all he had to do was PM me like a couple of people did. I am a bit guarded since Cyborg can be a major snake but I'd probably have shared with him. If you sort the leaderboard, there are lots of guys. Him honing in on a few could make a difference, I can't believe you are unable to see that.

Cyborg Verified Member Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Am I allowed to provide resources? MLC is down and the best place for batted ball rates for minors is BP, except they have it behind a paywall. This is the way around it by saving these links.

Come on man. Thanks for the info but jesus christ. also, they dont work e2: I'm a big dummy and clicked on the A- link first, forgetting that SS ball hasn't started yet
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 It's not like he's scouting these players himself or doing much more than sorting the same leaderboards. I think the un-informed owners you're wary of stealing your sleepers understand that. I can certainly see your concerns and am sympathetic to them, Boxcar. I'm just not personally offended and without that am not going to embrace victimhood. He didn't name anyone I covet and I don't particularly care if he did as I have loads of contingencies in place. I just don't like how obnoxious it is to do that. I don't really personally understand how Cyborg could have not realized he was being a ******** but I guess I just don't think like him. It's all fine, I guess, whatever. Personally, I'd love to talk about prospects and I'm super excited for the draft but those talks can wait.

I posted anyways because I was pretty sure it would not be a problem.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Now I feel like I probably shouldn't go into the LOD thread and brag about two of my late picks breaking out big time. Also because I'm in last place. Where is the line drawn? It's so hard to say.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I've reported a number of posts in this thread from the last 60 minutes And mods hate you for that very reason

Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 God damn name droppers... in all seriousness, nothing's worse when it actually happens during the draft. Initials or not, it's really f***ing annoying. *You know who you are*
Cyborg Verified Member Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Storen, Floyd, Biagini are all better than him. Its difficult to take you seriously when you use such small sample sizes RA rekt BB.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 RA rekt BB. The posse is going to tear you a new one for using initials now.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 God dammit Sano, you were just getting sexy. Anyone want Nicasio for a mediocre draft or waiver pick? Need to clear a spot now. Huge blow to my BORED team, which just barely scratched it's way above .500. Ugh.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Pretty much just pull the plug on my LOD season. Schwarber and Sano on the DL. Upton sucking nuts... Even Bradley on pat list
BTS Community Moderator Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 God dammit Sano, you were just getting sexy. Anyone want Nicasio for a mediocre draft or waiver pick? Need to clear a spot now. Wow, looks like Jeff Locke has beat him out for a rotation spot when a prospect is recalled. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that I'm happy Nicasio never became a thing.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Pretty much just pull the plug on my LOD season. Schwarber and Sano on the DL. Upton sucking nuts... Even Bradley on pat list At least those guys are young.
Sammy225 Old-Timey Member Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 BTS does not look to promising for us to over take Spanky this year.....
TheHurl Site Manager Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 BTS does not look to promising for us to over take Spanky this year..... There is a brand new middle of the pack in the DDL now (including the bottom couple play-off spots). I kind of wish I could have back my week against BTS in which I missed some starts, and may have thrown away a couple stat wins.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I'm looking to upgrade at C, some chips that I'd be open to moving: David Wright, Trayce Thompson, Huston Street, Jeurys Familia, Tony Watson, Sam Dyson, Ben Revere. I could also include Jorge Alfaro as a COTF to the recipient if the situation warrants that. I would prefer to go 2-for-1 if possible and I don't mind giving up a bit of value.
SpeedyGose Verified Member Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Please remove Ziomek from my farm to facilitate my deal with Dinger (Flaherty to me)
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I'm probably going to trade Willson Contreras very soon for a pitching upgrade now that I have Sal Perez. If you want in, let me know.
