Woohoo... Moran with the Slam!

 

He's going to be a good, fantasy-relevant player.

Which will take over as LoD Yankees 3B of the future, Chapman or Moran?

Probably more likely Moran, imo.

Yahoo has been so glitchy this year

I'm ready to move every board league over to Fantrax, but it's a shame that that will never happen.

At this point the only really argument against moving them is convention. There isn't a single thing yahoo does better than fantrax.

 

I still can't understand how they justify only making people DL-eligible once they've been added to the real-life DL, while in hockey players can be moved to the IR as soon as reports emerge that they might have a bruise.

Yeah, Yahoo's interface is much nicer, but Fantrax does everything else better imo.

I would support this.

+1.

I'm curious how the more SABR focused guys and girls on the board feel about Gabe Kapler's use of metrics for his bullpen use.

Definitely Chapman. That guy's gonna be a monster.

[Abomination]

Lol, Mikolas just hit a home run.

[Angrioter]

Miles Mikolas is good

 

 

 

 

99999 ft dinger against Z-davis

[jaysfan2014]

Looks like the Tiggers will get on the board with a W first--Royals are pathetic. Oh, and Duda pulled a hammy.

 

Twins are getting shelled by the Pirates..Lance Lynn walked 6 batters, and Moran hit a grand salami!

The new metric he's using for determining when a pitcher is warm is about to blow up, he's on to something.

The pitcher was wearing his coat...... Should mean he is warm.

[Jonn]

Reds have Cliff Pennington hitting second in front of Votto. No wonder they suck.

[jaysfan2014]

The Royals are garbage.. 0-3 to start, and can't even beat the last place Tiggers. Their pitching is so awful..

[jaysfan2014]

And Suarez proceeds to GIDP.. right after the Reds broadcasters mention Chatwood's groundball tendencies..

[jaysfan2014]

Break up the Pirates! They're 4-0!

 

Twins pitching is still questionable--they walked 11 batters today (Polanco 4 times). Looks like Minnesota got exposed by the fact they're not facing an impatient O's team..

[Jimcanuck]

Mahle had himself a game, 6 IP, 1 hit, 2 BB, 7 KO

[jaysfan2014]

Where's the Cubs offense? Mahle just dominated them.. wasting a good outing by Chatwood.

Mahle is a good pitcher. Buehrle type guy, changes speeds on all his pitches with good command.

 

Also, Chatwood did not have a good outing.... 6 BB is never good.

f*** the Royals and their BABIP ways.

Tough to make 6 BB work... unless you're Randy Johnson. Then you can give up 8 hits, including a HR, and 6 walks over 7 IP and only give up a single run:

 

Date Team Opp GS W L SV HLD IP TBF H R ER HR BB SO

Luckiest game ever?

[jaysfan2014]

f*** the Royals and their BABIP ways.

 

Without Lorenzo Cain or Eric Hosmer, this lineup is horrid.

[Orgfiller]

Luckiest game ever?

 

Edwin Jackson had an 8 walk, 6 strikeout no-hitter on 149 pitches.

[Captain Adama]

Edwin Jackson had an 8 walk, 6 strikeout no-hitter on 149 pitches.

 

AJ Burnett had a 9 walk no hitter with 7 Ks.

Your quality post to post ratio is awful.
