A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

Damn, Dinger actually has Laika on the ropes here. That Trevor Richards vulture win was huge.

Yup, thought the same thing.

[Laika]

I can still win. I might need multiple vulture wins though, lmao

[Dr. Dinger]

Gotta flip one of R, HLD, W, and tie the other two? I’ll assume you have the tiebreaker, without looking into it at all. 10% chance maybe, but it could happen.

Yeah I have the tiebreaker either way. I think our first tiebreaker is h2h and looks like I beat you week 7.

 

Flipping runs and then pulling ahead in holds is enough

[BTS]

Clearest path is for Laika just to flip R and get one more hold today than Dinger does. Laika has like 9 relievers in his lineup today, so I think that's probably more like a 20-30% outcome.

[Dr. Dinger]

Saint Guerrero, guide me to victory!

I vow to the league to take down the #1 seed in round one and then fold like a cheap tent.

Make sure you keep your word on the second part of that.

[BTS]

I feel like Dinger will still be bringing this up years from now. Laika assembled an absolute juggernaut, and Dinger taking him down from the 11th seed is peak DDL.

This is pure cope but I don't think it's that big of an upset. His offense looks as good if not better than mine on paper, largely because of Vlad. The gap on the P side basically disappeared with me losing McClanahan, Sale, Taillon, Wisler, Pomeranz, and Clippard all during or right before R1 and with Bieber never making it back.

 

I don't really have a juggernaut built around a bunch of Vlad, Soto, Franco types. My team is a random assortment of hired guns.

 

Dinger's 11th place record was largely due to inattention and not a lack of talent. And he got lucky with very few injuries during the playoffs save for the typical spattering of broken arms.

Yeah, that's a pretty good take. He might have the best offense in the league right now with Vlad/Devers/Correa/Stanton all healthy. I see my matchup with him this week as a coin flip.

Atta boy Dinger. Represent Division Ruben

This, but I also got 0 IP from my most talented SP (Thor) and most talented RP (Anderson) all season, and even my depth innings (Valdez, Pineda, German, Kelly, Kopech) missed a lot of time and left me incredibly thin. I had to cash out Gleyber to even get Alcantara as my nominal SP1, and that was like 6 weeks ago. So I had a lot of victories that had close margins by score, but where my offense in fact massacred my opponent.

[Dr. Dinger]

That said, Anderson just came back, I have a two-start week from Sandy, and Vlad is hotter than the sun, so this is my chance to get revenge for Brendan Rodgers.

What did you end up trading Rodgers for?

[BTS]

Vlad is probably going to take Yarbrough deep at least twice today. I should probably not start him.

[Dr. Dinger]

IIRC he was part of a package along with Victor Robles to trade up and take Stanton in a dispersal draft. I could have taken Bellinger, which I regretted for a long time but no longer regret.

[Dr. Dinger]

There were other pieces but basically I did

 

Miguel Cabrera for Jake Lamb

Jake Lamb for Robles + Soto

Soto for Rodgers

Rodgers + Robles for Stanton

 

So in a very roundabout way, I can subtract Soto from the algebra and pretend I got Stanton for Cabrera just as he turned into a pumpkin

Sorry that's horrible.

 

I hope you win it all because with moves like this your fantasy days are numbered

[Dr. Dinger]

My fantasy days can’t be numbered because you desperate bitches will never let me leave.

[Spanky99]

Goldbull's been on fire, next DDL Champ!

[Laika]

i'll let you leave everything if you give me your spot in R2

[Dr. Dinger]

Never. Beating you *is* my championship.

[Jimcanuck]

Should have followed your own advice, yikes.

[Laika]

Omg you did?

[Laika]

Meanwhile Alcantara is throwing a no-hitter.

 

You should probably start preparing yourself mentally for Dinger's upcoming championship.
