  1. You guys are second guessing s pitching strategy that resulted in the team getting 8 innings of 3-run ball in a playoff game started by Matt f***ing Shoemaker. The plan worked.
  2. Blake Snell is vastly better pitcher than Matt Shoemaker.
  3. Yeah, we've all seen back end starters get left out to go 5-6 innings because they're the 'hot hand' and then get absolutely bombed eventually. I honestly can't believe that there's this much bellyaching over a strategy to pull someone like Matt Shoemaker before he gives up runs, and not after. The pitching plan worked today. They squeezed 8 innings of 3-run ball out of pitchers that, frankly, aren't very good. They got shut down by elite pitching and great defense.
  4. It really was. People are acting like Shoemaker is more than a depth starter. They got three shutout innings from him, and its completely defensible to go different arms before he gives up runs instead of waiting until the damage is done.
  5. If Shoe gave up runs second time through we'd be having the opposite conversation. I don't think Cole is very good, but its very defensible to prefer him fresh vs. Shoemaker into the 4th. The story here is the offense being shut down by great pitching.
  6. This isn't exactly an elite bullpen. Cole pitching isn't egregious.
  7. When the DDL is dead and gone the epitaph on the z3r0s memorial will read “he did nothing but almost win”. For real though, my post was mostly tongue in cheek and your team was formidable and obviously took me to the limit. I suspect you’ll be back to the finals shortly. As always, there’s a lot of luck required in winning (or losing) a title. This year havok and TCA both had championship caliber teams and got a brutal draw against each in the first round.
  8. WTF, Vladdy finished with a 115 wRC+? He's so close to being a great hitter. Just a few more fly balls.
  9. connorp: I hate your idea so I'm not going to pursue it, but you're free to table a rule change vote if you want to.
  10. Are we keeping previous season's positional eligibility for hitters at 10 games?
  11. I will now make my Champion's address: It has been my distinct pleasure to roll over the DDL field this year. From finishing first in the power rankings by almost 40 points to dispatching my playoff opponents with only 5 category losses, it is clear that The True Cardinals were indisputably the class of the 2020 DDL. All of you can lick my taint, kiss my ring, and try to improve your pitiful teams for 2021. Humbly, BTS
  12. One final item that I forgot yesterday: IL restrictions. Recall that we had a 5-man IL limit in Yahoo and moved to unlimited because of covid. I honestly thought the unlimited IL worked great. Rosters were locked if a IL player lost his red flag and wasn't activated, so hoarding wasn't an issue. I see no reason to go back to a limited IL, but if opinion seems split I'll open it up to a poll.
  13. It's $100 US for a season. Not a lot, but I just don't want the hassle of collecting fees from everyone when we're just using the one premium feature.
  14. I've also added the positional minimums that Jim suggested, so your current rosters look like they'll look for the 2021 season if there's not significant support for doing it differently over the next couple of days. And I've turned weekly add limits off, so you can make as many moves as you want over the offseason.
  15. I’ve renewed the league for 2021 (god bless Fantrax). Our premium free trial ran out, so we’re back to an unpaid league. The only premium feature we were using was the ability to trade 2022 picks. So that’s gone now, but the picks that were traded are still with the teams they were traded to.
  16. Yeah, we're going to do a poll on this. I'll get one up when the 2021 season opens. A few minor items to take care of in the coming weeks: 1. position eligibility thresholds (will Jim's recommendations stand) 2. will we be expanding to 26-man rosters I think that's it?
  17. I'm fine with this if there aren't serious grievances.
  18. So you're suggesting, say: 10 current and 5 previous hitting 5 current and 3 previous pitching for 2021?
  19. I meant devalue midrotation starters. Did people bother with them or just stack RPs?
  20. I'm open to something like this, but I'm concerned that it would completely devalue all but SP 1/2 types.
  21. We need to decide reasonably soon what we're doing for 2021 positional eligibility. Our setting have until now remained unchanged from Yahoo: 10 games previous or current to qualify at hitting position 5 games previous or current to qualify at pitching position Thoughts? My current feeling is that we didn't change the 'current season threshold this year, so I don't see a need to change the 'previous season' threshold for 2021.
  22. This league needs some kind of league history page.
  23. I think this is the first BORED title for The Drunks franchise?
  24. Congrats Spanky. Way to prove that TCA was just holding you back all these years.
