A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Dr. Dinger]

I approve of this trade because Cespedes will soon be a pumpkin

 

Puig is already a pumpkin tho

I'm not understanding the relevance

No relevance; just firing a shot across your bow.

[TRM]

You still upgraded Felix to a younger, more bankable ace, and I traded an OF2 for an impact CF in return for that pitching downgrade. It's about the same really, I just get my production now instead of having to wait for Pollock.

 

well if you had gotten a kings ransom for Pollock I would have been peeved, or if you traded him for peanuts I would have been happy. That's all I was saying.

Trading him for peanuts definitely wasn't an option with how Bumgarner is pitching.

Michael Taylor had the worst game in baseball history the other night?

 

0 for 5 with 5 k's.

That's beer league bad. I'm just shocked Puig didn't blow a quad.

[jays_fever]

That exact play literally happened about 4 times at my beer league, division E softball game last night.

The Orioles FO needs to take Joey Rickard away from Showalter. He's terrible at baseball, and Kim had no platoon splits in Korea. The platoon is silly.

[TheHurl]

I'm vehemently against realigning divisions, but I will respect the democratic system

 

Me too...Dinger's downfall is my only shot at ever seeing a playoff.

 

beyond self serving reasons, there haven't been as many ups and downs in teams as I thought there would be in this pool but this is the best that the bottom through to middle has looked in this pool ever. I'm good with whatever process is voted on though.

He's a pretty frustrating guy to own. Still looking like a perfectly even trade though

[BTS]

Now that I think about it, I'd also vote against realignment. There's no honour in running from the big silver machine.

[TheHurl]

Sammy has a pitcher give up the most Earned Runs in an inning in the history of the MLB...yet is sweeping the pitching stats. Who's he playing again?

[Dr. Dinger]

That's some great niggling, North.

[TheHurl]

It wasn't all in the same inning though... I don't like that fact's construction. The pitcher earned the most runs while recording an inning pitched.

 

I just read headlines. Good to know that I've got you here to keep me in line.

[SpeedyGose]

Turns out Aaron Judge is still good at hitting the baseballz, 337/461/687 in June .503 wOBA 230 wRC+ with 15.7 BB and 19.6 K rates.

 

Could be a fun second half to monitor call ups, just had Nimmo come up last night

[Dr. Dinger]

So not only is Willson Contreras a burgeoning superstar, but soon he'll have C/1B/OF. What a stud.

[Laika]

Is Chris Paddack human?

 

28.1 IP

48 K's

2 BB's

ERA/FIP of basically 0.00

what a bad trade

[Dr. Dinger]

Certainly is leaning that way.

[Cyborg]

ERA/FIP of basically 0.00

60 K% and no H given up in his last 3 starts (15 IP).

[TheHurl]

Pfft not even young for his level, why am I impressed again?

 

isn't he 2 years below average age?

 

BA on him...put on 4 MPH last year, now another 2 MPH this year.

 

Ranked Miami Marlins #17 prospect after the 2015 season Premium

Paddack went 11-0, 0.46 with 134 punchouts in 75 innings as a Cedar Park (Texas) High senior in 2015, and the Marlins gambled that they could sign him away from a Texas A&M pledge--and it worked. Miami secured Paddack for $400,000, more than double the value for his draft slot in eighth round. While still a work in progress, he looked dominant in 45 innings in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League after signing. Paddack showed command of three pitches, including a double-plus changeup, in recording a 39-to-7 strikeout-to-walk ratio. His fastball sat 93-94 mph--up from 89-92 in high school--and his slider shows promise, though it's new to his arsenal. Paddack has plenty of projection in his lean 6-foot- 4 frame, because scouts believe he'll eventually grow to 6-foot-6 with plenty of room for good weight. One evaluator saw similarities with Cardinals starter Michael Wacha because of Paddack's outstanding changeup and connection to Texas A&M, but he stopped short of a direct comparison. The Marlins could assertively promote Paddack to low Class A Greensboro.

[Laika]

Yeah he is the 12th youngest pitcher in the SALLy (min 20 IP)

I should have traded Conforto to Boxy as soon as he started jerking him off.

[SpeedyGose]

Looks like we have a close finish ahead of us SG...

[Laika]

Good tie, Dingleberry.

 

It was 2-11 this morning so I'll take it

[TheHurl]

Since Dinger took me down 10-3 in week 1...he is 70-76-9, I am 65-75-13. I've picked up 9 games on him in the past 7 weeks. Now 9 back of him, 6 behind Speedy. I'm way more confident than any 15th place team should be.

He also (somehow) loaded up with Cespedes, Lester, Miller, Betances, and Calhoun in the last week+

 

Seriously, how did he even have the prospects to do that?

Bravo on benching Puig when he could only lose you the week, I was hoping you wouldn't be paying that much attention. That's the kind of move that separates playoff contenders from TCA.

My record isn't great, but I think my roster is as good as any outside of the Slayers. It would be nice to be 30 games over .500, but really, I just need to make the playoffs and hope that Bautista and Felix are back and contributing by then.
