Laika Community Moderator Posted July 5, 2019 Author Posted July 5, 2019 Did we ever close the loophole (that surely nobody would be enough of a ******** to exploit) that didn't expressly state you can't bench your team after losing in the playoffs to whore yourself to a slightly better draft pick? IMO this is already covered by rule 2.3. If it is obvious to me that someone is tanking at any point in the season, they are subject to aggressive unilateral punishment with no rights of appeal. The general requirement is to field a full pitching and hitting lineup. Stuffing the bench with NA and DL players has always been acquiesced to. The odd NA or DL player slipping into the starting lineup is sometimes also seen as okay, typically in the short-term, and depending on the specific circumstances (sometimes MLB players fail and get demoted unexpectedly; sometimes a rebuilding owner happens to get hit with like eight DL players at once).
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Ask rhetorical questions? That’s not a question.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 SPANKY accused you of impropriety? The same guy who "didn't know" SP McKay was owned? Lmfao! Get your facts straight, he didn’t know 1B McKay was owned. Talk about exaggerating for effect...

Holy s***. It's been less than 12 months, that can't be outside the statute of limitations. Lay the angry smite of boss on that heathen!
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 5, 2019 Author Posted July 5, 2019 Holy s***. It's been less than 12 months, that can't be outside the statute of limitations. Lay the angry smite of boss on that heathen! The DDL statute of limitations is closer to like, two months. Who did this last year?
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Holy s***. It's been less than 12 months, that can't be outside the statute of limitations. Lay the angry smite of boss on that heathen! Boxy is being punished enough with like a 10 slot penalty on all his MiLB and waiver picks.
tafkasg Verified Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Lol. A brief timeline, 2013-2016: Historic ineptitude 2017: Stops setting lineup for weeks on end in regular season, somehow escapes punishment 2018: Gets immediately punked in first round, benches roster for the rest of playoffs, somehow escapes punishment
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Boxy is being punished enough with like a 10 slot penalty on all his MiLB and waiver picks. Law & Order SVU s*** right here
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 5, 2019 Author Posted July 5, 2019 Boxy is getting tarred and feathered ITT and he continues to roster four NA players into July. Wow!
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 I might be able to manage another team. How do I take a look at the league/TRM's team
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Boxy is being punished enough with like a 10 slot penalty on all his MiLB and waiver picks. Did you ban JFL fore the Gore reference?
BTS Community Moderator Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Did you ban JFL fore the Gore reference? Yeah, he needed a timeout.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Get your facts straight, he didn’t know 1B McKay was owned. Talk about exaggerating for effect... No, he assumed that 1B McKay was owned, but not the more desirable SP McKay. All just a misunderstanding!
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Did we ever close the loophole (that surely nobody would be enough of a ******** to exploit) that didn't expressly state you can't bench your team after losing in the playoffs to whore yourself to a slightly better draft pick? It was pretty stupid that final draft spots were decided by playoff finish, and so I decided to demonstrate that. Why would someone care about finishing 4th or 5th if they could make their team outlook marginally better by finishing 8th? Do you remember all the people who finished 3rd? I don't. I've already explained this numerous times and have yet to understand why you're so perpetually butthurt about it. I benched my team so it would be obvious, you don't think I could've been a bit more sneaky about it if I really wanted to get away with it?

Ok f***brain, please prescribe the punishment you'd like carried out. Pretty please! Don't hold back!
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Boxy is getting tarred and feathered ITT and he continues to roster four NA players into July. Wow! I bet you wish you could do that and not be 18th, huh?
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 No, he assumed that 1B McKay was owned, but not the more desirable SP McKay. All just a misunderstanding! Other way around, dumn-dumn!
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Look boys, I'll take all the s*** I can swallow from BTS and TCA because, frankly, I'd do the same in their shoes. I will not, however, be chirped by #18 and #20. You guys can kindly f*** off and worry about your own teams.

Two spots ahead of you in the PRs but five spots better than you in the pick lottery. Tank better you dolt.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 I am having the perfect rebuild. Two spots ahead of you in the PRs but five spots better than you in the pick lottery. Tank better you dolt. How many NA guys on your roster right now?
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 5, 2019 Author Posted July 5, 2019 How many NA guys on your roster right now? I'll need you to unpack your point here. Premise to logical conclusion.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 I'll need you to unpack your point here. Premise to logical conclusion. You criticized me for having too many NAs while having the same amount and being worse Also, doesn't matter where I finish because I'm getting BTS' pick
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 5, 2019 Author Posted July 5, 2019 You criticized me for having too many NAs while having the same amount and being worse Also, doesn't matter where I finish because I'm getting BTS' pick You made a bet thinking you had a strong team. I was in the dispersal draft and have already firesaled. That I am outperforming you in the PRs is f***ing hilarious. Icing on the cake is that I somehow am losing above my weight class and have a top 3 lottery position - probably good karma for setting my full lineups everyday and not being a welcher in the politics thread, etc. Yes it does matter where you finish. You really want to give BTS a f***ing lottery pick? Be better. Eat more pig and drink more beer at home.

Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 lol... looking back on all his s*** talking is lit. Is it? Hopefully you can manage to steal a prospect without anyone noticing, otherwise I can't see you being anything other than the town bike for the foreseeable future

Hopefully you can manage to steal a prospect without anyone noticing, otherwise I can't see you being anything other than the town bike for the foreseeable future Dude, you OWN that title, I gave it a run the past 3 years to do something in this league, I'll be back, ya bike! The stealing a spect thing is lame, I legit thought I found myself a steal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
