BTS Community Moderator Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 BB's team is kinda interesting. I wonder at which point it's better to be competitive in both hitting and pitching rather than dominant in one and weak in the other. At this point it seems all but certain he's going to miss the playoffs, although losing Trevor Story and Strasburg down the stretch definitely has a lot to do with that. Probably more a reflection of his roster management than roster construction. He was too complacent with a bad bullpen when he should have been playing the wire, and he should have acquired a starter or two to bolster his rotation a few months ago. A grizzled vetrin manager would have taken that team to the playoffs.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 BB is going to miss the playoffs with the league's best offense lol. I am finding that, quite often, the more imbalanced a team is, the more it underperforms. I'm having a similar issue because of my offense and missing abs. I need Diaz back like no tomorrow.

It can be the last piece you add, but you still can't neglect it.

It can be the last piece you add, but you still can't neglect it. Rolling with Barrett, Biagini, Salas, and Chris Young in your pen when you're fighting for your playoff life is pretty good evidence that you don't deserve to make the playoffs.
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 I'll be the first too admit I've been terrible with roster management and I left wins on the table because I didn't set me lineups on time etc.. I asked if anyone wanted to be a co-manager since I was super busy the last 2 months but didn't hear back.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Kind of surprised I won the Gregorius claim.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Kind of surprised I won the Gregorius claim. The guy I got laughed at for drafting? I could have used him actually, f***. Asleep at the wheel.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 The guy I got laughed at for drafting? I could have used him actually, f***. Asleep at the wheel. The guy I specifically laughed at you for drafting. Not sure why he was dropped.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Kind of surprised I won the Gregorius claim. Faaaaaaaawwwk... what number were you?
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Faaaaaaaawwwk... what number were you? Whoa... no claim needed.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Faaaaaaaawwwk... what number were you? I was 12
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 In my heart of hearts, I'm pretty sure Didi still sucks. I mean, his name is Didi.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Pretty sure Didi will be my starting SS next year in the DDL. Unless I can trade for someone. Looks like Suarez is going to lose his eligibility.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Pretty sure Didi will be my starting SS next year in the DDL. Unless I can trade for someone. Looks like Suarez is going to lose his eligibility. He's not high-end, but if he can go 315/430 with 20/70/70 he's a viable starter and top-300 player.
spittin Verified Member Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 The guy I specifically laughed at you for drafting. Not sure why he was dropped. Consider it charity, I needed better flexibility with multiple position eligible players and it is passed the trade deadline, so I dropped him.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 He's not high-end, but if he can go 315/430 with 20/70/70 he's a viable starter and top-300 player. High-end SS are tough to buy. I tried last offseason to find one but only Xander was available. His high babip turned me away from him, looks like I should have bought though.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Lazarito! "They call him the Cuban Bryce Harper, with the speed of Willie Mays, and the power of Bo Jackson. And he's only 17." That's good, right?

BTS Community Moderator Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Pretty good chance we get to do this all over again next week spittin.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Buxton has a legkick now. Very un-Twinsian of him, wonder if that's cool with the hitting coach. E: wow, he absolutely destroyed that dinger. No doubter to left center. Plz be legit k
spittin Verified Member Posted September 4, 2016 Author Posted September 4, 2016 Pretty good chance we get to do this all over again next week spittin. I have a pretty good feeling about next week, my team has been slumping a bit.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I have a pretty good feeling about next week, my team has been slumping a bit. How I feel in the BBDL/DDL.
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 How I feel in the BBDL/DDL. Your team is up 13-1. That's a slump?
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Your team is up 13-1. That's a slump? Concern in my line-up, not a slump. I'm in trouble.
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I have a pretty good feeling about next week, my team has been slumping a bit. I'm coming in hot: looks like a 10-week unbeaten streak. Should be a good matchup.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 According to Yahoo, Grandal has "been a disappointment in fantasy leagues this season." The f***? 23 HR and an .836 OPS is disappointing for a catcher lol.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 Boxy with the epic choke jo Greenwood's s***** offense had a great week, what can ya do
