P2F Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Greetings, We are suddenly in need of a manager in a 30-team dynasty league that mimics the MLB. This is the League of #Despair that can be found in the Off Topic forum here at BJMB. I remember Jimcanuck was previously interested in a spot if it opened, and Jonn has recently mentioned that he'd be interested in taking over a spot. We would love to hear from both of you below, and if there are any others interested in the spot, please drop your name in this thread. This is the deepest league you'll ever play in, as it consists of 25-man rosters with 15-man farms (simulated 40-man roster experience). Can supply more deets upon request. You will be taking over the St. Louis Cardinals, which are currently leading the NL Central in a very tight race to the playoffs. This is one of the league's best teams, no doubt. The Cardinals were managed very well by the previous manager. hmu below
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 lol, that didn't take much for Greenwood to lose his s***. I don't follow the thread since I left, figured it would be more than a page back where things started going south lol
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Yea I’m definitely interested. I like the concept.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 This seems a little premature, no?
P2F Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2018 Author Posted August 3, 2018 This seems a little premature, no? Sadly, he's made it very clear that he wants out. It's too bad - I really liked Greenwood. But there's no time to waste, as the playoff race cannot/will not wait, so getting a new manager in quickly is the best thing for the league at this point.

I'd say give him tomorrow afternoon just in case he's drunk or something. Otherwise I agree, we need to replace him quickly in the leagues for both the playoff race and trade deadline.

KK was pretty harsh, I understand his anger, but running to every league and quitting is a bit over the top. Could be lit... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
King Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 This is a tough league. You really have to know your s***. That said, it's insanely fun if you're a huge nerd like the rest of us.

Guy is a huge *******, he was kinda due to blow up at someone for no reason. Too bad Greenwood was the casualty here but he should know that most people in the league aren't even a fraction as insufferable.
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 This is a tough league. You really have to know your s***. That said, it's insanely fun if you're a huge nerd like the rest of us. I have a lot of experience in fantasy leagues and even Baseball Mogul Leagues back in the day. But no doubt if you guys do vote me into the league I would go through a significant learning curve. My knowledge of advanced stats and analytics is better than I feel I'm given credit for here however. If more ideal I would be willing to go into the role of like a Co Manager or something so I learn the league a little bit before taking over a team full time in the middle of a season.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Well, no surprise really. Guy is a huge *******, he was kinda due to blow up at someone for no reason.

I am finding it hard to comprehend you sympathizing with the guy who did the megabeta dicktuck.

Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 This. I didn't even find it that harsh. Meh... this is a bit harsh over an obvious joke, it's AG's humour while twisting a knife... Are you seriously suggesting that I did this on purpose you miserable *******? He had three games played. That's fair game 99% of the time. Just so happened game three was a day game. People with much more to lose have made similar mistakes. Anyone can make one and I have done nothing to deserve your bs insinuation. Remind me again why anyone puts up with your constant belly aching? Every time a rule change doesn't go the way you want it, you gripe and gripe like a self absorbed piece of s*** because god forbid you might shut up and respect that the world is not going to bend over backwards to make you almost happy for five minutes. We know you don't like the rule. Not everyone is going to agree with every rule but you're the only one who is too f***in childish to just deal. You bring up the same s*** and try to start the same tired debates that don't go your way over and over again. Yet, no need for AG to go off the hook and spread venom/havok through every league he's involved with, nevermind just LOD.
Pendleton Old-Timey Member Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Question 1 - Are you willing to pull over on the side of a highway in a bad thunderstorm on a random Tuesday in May, just to grab a 27 year old AAA reliever with decent ratios off of the free agent pile, seconds before P2F steals him away, on the off chance you end up with a rosterable bullpen arm for two weeks while your roster is ravished by a combination of dead arm, blisters and hand foot & mouth disease?

I believe that's "ravaged"
Pendleton Old-Timey Member Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 I believe that's "ravaged" Nope, ravished. Those various ailments have seized the depth of your pitching staff by force.
jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Question 2. How do you feel about Garrett Cooper? How nuts do you feel are his trackman readouts? Would you say a future 190 wRC+ is a little steep or a pretty fair valuation? Would you buy a Garrett Cooper poster and hang it in your room?
Pendleton Old-Timey Member Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Question 3. On a scale of 1-10, how willing are you to launch yourself into a full swan dive to head butt JFL in the face next time he mentions Garrett Cooper?
Pendleton Old-Timey Member Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 I just think it's lazy to head butt someone with most of your body weight still resting on your feet.
BTS Community Moderator Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Screening question: have you ever drafted Garrett Cooper top-2 in a dynasty league new player draft? If so, I’ll put your application on file.
