A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

pretty damn tight matchup

[BTS]

Oh my f***ing god this Braves game is going to be the death of me.

Dylan Lee in line to vulture the series-winning W for P2F. Servais inexplicably took Munoz out after 4 pitches and then went to f***ing Diego Castillo for the 9th to protect a 4-run lead. Him and Sewald give up 5, and P2F the series win if Jansen can close it out in the bottom. J-Rod and Suarez hit bottom of the 9th inning homers to win it for Seattle.

 

I'm dead.

[P2F]

This honestly might be the tightest matchup I've ever played, holy s***. I'm pretty sure it's been separated by one category since Monday.

[BTS]

Given the stakes, it's the most intense fantasy baseball matchup I've played. I died a little inside when Grossman hit the go-ahead homerun.

[L54]

Man I absolutely love fantasy baseball this time of year. Every game is magnified and you end up hoping for a hold from Colin Poche or a hit from Lars Nootbaar on Sunday night

Congrats on the win, BTS. Thanks for the fun week.

Thanks. You deserve better than going out on a tie. Judge/Trout/Alonso + like 4 aces is pretty crazy. 5 with Glasnow back next year.

Juan Soto sucks

[Spanky99]

Looks like jaysblue needs a dinger+ ... I don't see it, what's the tiebreaker?

Two week finals dumnass

[Spanky99]

Soto might have won you the Championship, dumbass.

Two week finals dumnass

 

Oh, lmao.

[jaysblue]

Since its a two week final, does that mean we get extra transactions than the typical 5 per week?

Should each get 5 more at midnight.

[jaysblue]

Good to know. Think I have one remaining so better use it before midnight.

 

Looks like you pulled way ahead in some pitching categories like strikeouts, ERA, K/BB and OBP. Might come down to some offensive categories. Sucks not having Marte and missed out on Drury's 2 HR game and a win yesterday from Matz haha.

Your team is so unique with the army of SP/RPs. Hard to strategize against.

 

Also, I hate you for making me root against Pujols.

[Spanky99]

Goes to show, just win to get in. Damn.

[Laika]

Damn it's still tight

 

BTS has the tie breaker by the way

[Laika]

7-5-2 for BTS

 

Categories in play

 

Hits (tied)

Homers (tied)

OBP (decent 0.040 edge for JB)

SLG (decent 0.031 edge for JB)

Holds (+1 for JB)

 

RBIs and Runs are borderline. BTS has an 8 RBI and 8 Run lead, hard to catch but not impossible.

 

I don't think any other category is in play. All the pitching ratios + Wins and Ks are heavy in BTS' favour and he also has significantly better SPs lined up between now and Sunday.

 

What does this mean? BTS has the tiebreaker so I think this means JB needs to win Hits and Homers and then pray for huge surge in RBI. There is no other conceivable path to JB winning.

[Spanky99]

I was rooting for BTS as a fellow Monte-Cristo Alum, but he was rather rude to me, so now I'm down with 10 Cent Beer Night.

Yeah BTS has the upper edge thus far and with him holding the tiebreak, it's definitely a nice extra cushion.

 

Feels like this matchup is in limbo for me in terms of what I could do. Like you said, I need to take the lead in hits and home runs and hope to catch up in either runs or RBI. He has all the pitching categories locked up. Unless I go crazy and stream a couple of starters and get lucky with some high K performances though its unlikely. BTS can also make this a blowout if he takes the lead in some of the close categories.

Kirby getting rocked by f***ing Oakland has put ERA back in play.

I missed getting Nootbar into my starting lineup by a couple of minutes when I saw Aristides Aquino benched. That's now 3 HR's and 4 RBI's missed with him and Drury benched.

 

Urena did a solid for a spot start - 5.2 IP, 2 ER and 6 K's. Will take that.

 

My starters over the weekend need to pitch well to put some pressure on the ERA category. Down 20K's now which I think is a uphill battle since you still have other starters as well. Still going to come down to the bats IMO.
