Doesn't look like we will get there but it should be fun even without the gift card. The banning prize is worth more than a small gift card anyway. Still ten more minutes or so for new teams!

Absolutely. The winner of this gets to direct a 48 hour ban for anyone they want other than admin or mods, for any reason or none, in their discretion.

I am planning on turning off transactions before 2:00 PM ET so you need to make final decisions by then!

Wow, they put McClanahan on the roster?

Bump again. Only a couple of hours. We may not get to 25 entrants in the short notice but we will still run the league regardless. Remember, there will* be prizes! *there will likely not be prizes

classic grant seventy seven

Nobody ever used the word "cordial". I can tell connorp to f*** off because he's a sub and he likes it.

bump you need to get in this morning and add your own players before games start! you can edit your team up until the first game

Also, they can start Kirk at C game 1!

Dodgers. Also, people can also join this roto playoff pool. Just add your own players before games start tomorrow (no transactions during the year). Better prizes* than this pool! https://www.fantrax.com/newui/fantasy/joinLeague.go?leagueId=zn2gou0akfn7nfxg&isSubmit=y *there are no prizes

https://www.fantrax.com/newui/fantasy/joinLeague.go?leagueId=zn2gou0akfn7nfxg&isSubmit=y Not sure if this will work but if a few people join we will see. I've set it up as a duplicate player, roto league. Players can be owned an infinite number of times. It's like a hockey playoff pool where you are essentially picking the teams you think will go far. You need to add your own players and set your lineup. Before the games start tomorrow I will close the league and turn off transactions for the duration of the playoffs. Unless someone sees some way that this is broken? You can edit your team setting to make your email not visible.

Travis Shaw was quoted as saying there are just so many intangibles that if they don't win game 1 to get some confidence they will pack it in

If nobody is picking the Jays to win then we should all bet our salaries on them because they have a 40% chance to win.

Wrong. 2/3 does not equal 66%.

You brought up the intangibles you fart! Praying to Mecca for you to get hit by a bus right now

No, f*** you. You are implying that the intangibles work in some way against the team that will be down 1-0. I am saying that are intangibles and you can't even assume a direction for them. wbgtikujgbtiuwerybgtiuyewrbgtiyujrebgtiurwebuirewbtniuowerhbtiuwer4bgte4uirwb

Renewing might set everybody's notification settings to the default. You might have to move some sliders around in the wonderful Fantrax app

Yes you can. We've all played sports. Being down a game can actually be motivating. You can't at all say that a team being up 1-0 has any type of positive effect on them or the other team. It can't be said. You can't assume the direction of the intangibles. To assume a direction is to say that you can touch an intangible in at least some respect, which is categorically BS. You're not God. Who do you think you are?

2021 season is now open. Both of the votes passed. We will be expanding to a 26 person MLB roster and a 14 person MiLB roster before the 2021 season begins. The exact timing of the roster expansion is TBD. I will probably try to do it fairly so it's not some free agent free-for-all with short notice. We may wait until around the New Player Draft to expand. We need to decide as a league what to do with the IL. A few options: - Go back to a 5 player limit - Set it to some other numerical limit - Keep it unlimited with no other rules. The only limitation is Fantrax's built in option that prevents you from making a roster move if there is an active player on the IL. - Keep it unlimited with a rule that nobody can add a player with a red-flag (this needs to be manually enforced in a free league) - Keep it unlimited but all IL players need to be dropped or added to the active roster before the NPD (with or without the restriction on adding red-flag players) Also, if anyone refers to BTS as the 2020 Champion* they need to include an asterisk. *fluke champion during a shortened season where it was impossible to establish a real deserving champion

You could say the same thing about the team being up. They could get complacent. The non-quantifiable BS kind of cancels out.

The number might be right if you assume the team that tends to win game 1 is the better team. If we are talking about a coin flip matchup the odds of the game 1 loser winning 4 of the next 6 would be like 11/32. So ~65% chance the game 1 winner wins the series. Grant's number is a 73.6% series win percentage, not far off that. What the figure does not prove is the importance of game 1 over any other game. The numbers are probably the same if you look at game 2 instead.

When does Fantrax typically let you create the next season?

No. In my opinion you took a super risky and misguided interpretation on the rule. I’m just not really sure how it’s a reasonable stance to say that Tucker Davidson was active yesterday. Davidson and all of those players are just on waivers now.

I understand the ambiguity now that you state it that way but no, he wasn’t on their active roster yesterday. I mean, Tucker Davidson did not get a day of service time for Friday. Their active roster was the 26 players active for their game that day. Any transactions the Braves made after the game were for the next day

In other words, Boxcar can f*** off and be a full time NFL fan.
