A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Boxcar]

no, "At least I lost to the best" for boxy?

 

1. Root for my cheesesteak brother

2. I lost to myself with retarded pitching decisions

[z3r0s]

cummon boys! Better start making a push here!

[jaysblue]

Tough decision. Do I start Antonio Senzatela vs. the Giants and hope to catch up in K's though risk K/BB ratio or put back Jose Leclerc back in despite already pitching two days in a row hoping he gets a save opportunity again?

[Boxcar]

You need too many Ks for that gamble

[Boxcar]

Damn, Havok pulled off the upset.

[z3r0s]

me too! Narrative is good, plus I'd really love not to face SG if I maintain this lead.

[Spanky99]

Yet you'll face Havok, his team is sick.

[z3r0s]

Its the finals! Going to be someone good!

 

Might not even make it, Senzatela is pitching a gem!

I might regret switching Senzatela with Leclerc if he comes in and gets the save with a clean inning. Rangers winning 2-1 so far.

 

I need Senzatela to hopefully pitch another clean inning or two. But you have Carlos Martinez tonight who could very well likely get a save or pitch a clean inning. Plus Will Smith is still in this game and could pitch.

 

Also, would be nice if I sneak in an Arenado stolen base lol, but that is very unlikely to happen.

[z3r0s]

well that couldn't have worked out better, a flare for a hit and a walk, out of the game.

 

Usually my pitchers that s*** the bed when i start watching!

Looks like you're moving on. Great matchup.

back and forth, down to the wire. fun match bro! (unless Smith does have to pitch for some reason)

I feel a lot better that Leclerc wasn't used today in the save situation. That would have really stung lol.

Havok vs z3r0s is a fun finals.

 

Two up-start teams, more or less.

 

z3r0s' teams were under .500 for four straight season before 2017 (first playoff berth) and now he's in the finals.

 

Havok did sneak into the 2015 playoffs but sandwiched that with two seasons below .400! before getting good in 2017.

 

Now both owners can probably make arguments that their franchises, respectively, should rank above some of the franchises that have been historically the DDL playoff contenders like Spanky, BTS, TCA, TRM/P2F.

[Laika]

Havok has to be like a 65% favourite next week though.

 

His team is clearly better on both sides of the ball, healthy outside of Schwarber, and he lines up with a handful of 2 start SP and an unconsciously good Christian Yelich.

 

z3r0s has a patch-work pitching staff at this point and the offense seems to be a full grade worse than Havok's on paper (not to mention several of the bats are ice cold).

[z3r0s]

PATCHWORK! How dare you besmirch proven all-stars like Big Game James!

 

Also this is my SECOND straight finals, so my team has the edge in experience!

I legit believe Havok and SG was the final, but anything can happen right.

[Dr. Dinger]

Jordan Hicks just threw 102, 104, 104, 103. WTF.

[Boxcar]

You can do it Havok. I believe in you.

[z3r0s]

all you haters are just motivating my boys.

 

When I win, I expect a Radio Scouts Podcast shout-out

[Dr. Dinger]

I’m equally happy with either new champion. It’s refreshing to see a new champion, period. Both teams are worthy.

[z3r0s]

also, not to be that guy, but is it cool that Boxy is tanking his team in the playoffs presumably to get a better set of picks?

 

Maybe he didn't know/think about it? I'll let him respond to that. But maybe something to discuss at some point

[TheHurl]

Champions aren't supposed to know what is happening behind them...Go Havok!

[z3r0s]

Its plastered on the 'Matchup' tab. Hard to not raise an eyebrow to a 14-0 in the playoffs.

I'm doing what's best for my team. I didn't make the dumb rule but I'm sure gonna take advantage of it, and literally no one should care about fighting for 3rd or 4th place or whatever.

I don't want to experience any more regret than I already do for benching Jorge Lopez's near perfect game.

[Laika]

There is no value difference between a 13th overall or 16th overall pick so I don't care.

 

Boxy has ruined any street cred he had though. Pathetic.

Yeah, because no one has ever been sniped in a draft before. Also, "no value difference" is demonstrably false. Ask people to pick one or the other and 100% of people will pick 13.

 

And what street cred did I ruin? Caring more about the future of my team than finishing 5th which no one will remember? I think I'll manage. If anything, you ruined the street cred of the DDL by instituting a retarded rule that could easily be taken advantage of.

[Laika]

okay

 

now i understand silvergun's whole thing i guess

[Boxcar]

okay

Oh yeah, rage quitting the league is far more admirable than trying to use the rules to acquire a better draft pick. 100% agree there.
