A Very Darrelly Dynasty League

[Laika]

Nava double gets everything a bit closer for me.

 

Ortiz single for BTS' bench.

[TheHurl]

I don't like the benching at all. If the tie break was his I'd absolutely think it was the right move but NJH gets the tie break. With just .02 between the two in OBP and NJH with two players going and Ortiz having a good record against Nova (and most Yankees)...well we'll see. Not looking like a great move now, hope he's at least getting a handy at the movie.

[Dr. Dinger]

Losing in the first round blows. Miggy & Davis career years gone to waste.

Yeah, you have to like Ortiz' odds of at least getting a hit and a walk against Nova, or something like that. 400 wOBA.

 

It would be a rare occurrence for him to completely blank against a righty.

[TRM]

Cheering for BTS. All Norman Final!

 

If BTS or I win, the name of the league must be strongly considered for change.

[Laika]

No, you just become a Darrell. Even better.

[Laika]

f*** this is intense. There are probably 6 PA left for Nava and Cano. 3/6 and NJH wins. Any less I win.

 

Might also be able to win with a single HR, which could flip SLG. Or a single and double maybe.

[TRM]

Not sure if serious...

 

Presumably I or the other champion would replace last place Boxy

[TRM]

You got absolutely pumped today in 2m4b.

 

I actually had a very unexpected personal issue that made me come back from Copenhagen for the weekend, I haven't looked at 2m4b in 2 or 3 days...

 

I was only able to manage yahoo because the apps are convenient. Marc is not gonna be happy with me.

[TRM]

So Kats vs. Min and FTD vs. NJH/BTS?

 

Favourites in those I would expect to be Min and FTD. I gotta say I am happy with the matchup with Kats. I expect I can out arm him on the backs of my SP depth, while splitting the batting numbers. Nice to avoid Ellsbury.

 

Who had the best week this week? BTS and I batted really well, Kats had a sick pitching week.

[TRM]

I'll live. Gotta fix those bottom three lines. It must be a fatigue issue a little, I collapsed in the third.

 

Any tips on how to read the boxscores to interpret what went right and wrong?

[TRM]

LOL at Daniel Nava 3/3

[TheHurl]

"Nava"gating a win

[Fearthedoc]

Congrats on taking me down in both leagues FTD, good luck next round.

 

Thanks, our DDL matchup was one of the closest matches I've ever been involved in. At the end of the day, the playoffs are one big crapshoot.

[Laika]

I probably need one more hit or walk...

[Fearthedoc]

I'm set up poorly for the next round. I'm down to 5 quality starters and I only have one double start. Not sure how I'm going to approach next week yet.

[Laika]

Good week njh. Tough one to swallow.

 

David Ortiz will haunt your dreams all winter. Amazing that your guys even made it close after all those torch jobs

[Boxcar]

Good week njh. Tough one to swallow.

 

your dumn

<3 buddy

[The Cats Ass]

What's everyone's guess for a Finals matchup?

 

I'm guess it'll be "A 2nd Leg To Stanton" VS. "Twist and Trout" matchup.

[Dr. Dinger]

I'm picking FTD to go all the way. He's got the pitching and Trout is hot right now.

[z3r0s]

Yordano Ventura, Carlos "Tsunami" Martinez and Oscar Taveras are friends and they will play on the same team at Dominican winter ball this year along with Edwin Encarnacion (question mark) and Manny Ramirez (Aguilas Cibaenas)

 

Quick, someone trade me Carlos Martinez so I can have these three amigos together in the DDL.

 

But also, I'd just plain like to have Martinez.

[Dr. Dinger]

I'd almost rather have Ventura than Carlos at this point. They both have phenomenal stuff, but the Cards rotation is so deep that I'm concerned they'll Rosenthal Martinez.

[Laika]

Methinks I'm not making the finals

[Fearthedoc]

Yo Nick, the DDL forums say Brian Flynn belongs to London Slayers (I saw you added him and I wanted to give you the heads up before he logs any stats)

[Dr. Dinger]

Lololol

[NorthOf49]

So if Nick doesn't see this, starts Flynn, gets like 7 Ks, wins Ks by 2, wins the week 7-6... what happens?

The stats wouldn't count of course lol. Whether there's an additional penalty or not isn't covered in the rules.

 

At any rate, the start is tomorrow so NJH will probably correct this before it's a real issue.

[Laika]

schwoops

 

thought he was a nobody

[TRM]

Yeah but imagine if he wins and advances because of that.

[Laika]

So if Nick doesn't see this, starts Flynn, gets like 7 Ks, wins Ks by 2, wins the week 7-6... what happens?

 

If that had happened, we would just say that I was in the 3rd place game instead and we'd have to keep track of the final week matchup scores by ourselves. Wouldn't have been a massive deal.
