The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 I know I complain about this every year, but Yahoo only letting you IL players on the actual MLB IL doesn’t work when MLB teams don’t use the IL in September. So playoff teams in keeper leagues are stuck punting roster spots on injured players. The get it right with the NHL, when even day-to-day players can be IR’d. What a terrible service. 100% agree. How hard would it be to have the IR+ option like they do for hockey. Fantrax gets it right.

Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Your team is very good. I think this is pretty much even odds. Even odds is right, pretty damn close. Evenly suxxxx though
Pendleton Old-Timey Member Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Three close matchups to this point, but it's possible the top 4 all get bounced in the quarterfinals
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Hey BTS, Hendricks got pushed off a day to tomorrow. Gonna be close on the K's. I need an SB or two
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Hey BTS, Hendricks got pushed off a day to tomorrow. Gonna be close on the K's. I need an SB or two I need Gerrit Cole to do his usual thing today. It would also help if Beeks or Maeda made extended relief appeances. Neither have pitched in 5+ days. There’s also a chance Yarbrough gets in for you. He’s slated to start Tuesday, but hasn’t started since Monday and seems like an ideal long guy after Glasnow goes a couple innings.
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Gerrit Cole is a bad, bad man. Good matchup Jim.
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Gerrit Cole is a bad, bad man. Good matchup Jim. Was really hoping to go from last place to championship in a year, and yes, Cole was a beast this week.
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Damn, The Drunks in round 2. I'm going to need actual contributions from Trout and Moustakas this week. Hopefully they both play.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Damn, The Drunks in round 2. I'm going to need actual contributions from Trout and Moustakas this week. Hopefully they both play. Thought we were gonna get bounced in the 1st round.
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Goddammit no Trout or Moose again today. The biggest kick in the nuts isn’t even losing key contributors for the playoffs, it’s not being able to replace them on your roster. We need to move this league to Fantrax.

We need to move ALL the leagues to Fantrax.
King Old-Timey Member Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Fantrax is unarguably better than Yahoo at this point. It's like, 3 years overdue from moving all board leagues.
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 I'm going to be making this an offseason priority for BORED. I'm tired of working off the spreadsheet for picks and prospects, and the issue with MLB teams not using the DL infuriates me every September. It's f***ing stupid to stick with an inferior site because it looks a bit better aesthetically.
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Oh cool, looks like Will Smith will be out all week and not DL’d. Now I’m down to a 22-man roster.
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 So I’m looking over Fantrax’s free league options, and it seems to fit all of our needs (up to 24 owners, draft picks, minor leagues). So we wouldn’t have to worry about league fees like we do in LoD. The way I see it there are two major benefits to switching: 1. Prospects and picks would be tracked and traded on Fantrax, eliminating the administrative burden of tracking everything on the google sheet. 2. Players who are injured in September but not DL’d by their MLB team (because most teams don’t use the DL in September) could be put on the DL in Fantrax, and their owners wouldn’t be stuck with wasted roster spots in the playoffs. I think these are very significant upgrades to the league that are worth moving for. Does anyone have any concerns about moving to Fantrax that don’t boil down to “we’ve always been on Yahoo”?

No I do not, you beta whiner!
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 No I do not, you beta whiner! I am legit HEATED about what Yahoo has done to me.

Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 No I do not, you beta whiner! This. STFU BTS.
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I’m not going. Thank you, guy who has not touched a league spreadsheet in like 7 years.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Make your NBA pick, whiner.
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Make your NBA pick, whiner. Fiiiiine

BTS Community Moderator Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 It seems like all the young vibrant posters with endless potential are drawn to fantrax, while the old, past their prime geriatrics want to stay with Yahoo. Very interesting.

Very interesting. I don't care either way, I'd just be collecting more teams on fantrax all in one place (FC moved to FT), but I don't want people quitting over it, if Dinger's serious?
King Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Orgfiller and I have talked about it and we have decided we will quit the league if a move to Fantrax isn't made.

Very interesting. Besides the visually pleasing part, I like how easy Yahoo’s app is to manage. And besides that, and I know I’m in the minority here but I like the updates. They’re always relevant. On fantrax it’s like Vlad when 1-4 today and finished with a .275 average
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I think I'd be for the move.
