If Alex Wood could pitch a win tonight with ~ 8K's... that'd really help me out

10 GS at 3B vs 12 game appearances.

a Morton gem left on the bench by L54... tanking?!!?

So with this crazy Yahoo system, I can drop Adrian Gonzalez now and he will still be on my team for todays game?

another big April for Thames. Not in the BA dept, but I wonder if he keeps it up this year

but at least he's still a pimp

Eric Thames is your man!

I would have taken Dakota for a pick!

That's one way to get to .500 after 2 weeks P2F Crazy

yeah I used to have issues with that, but Chrome seems to have it all worked out now as I haven't had it default to the browser search in a long while

thank you oh benevolent dictator for your ruling! Truly the best form of rulership until your offspring tries to take over!

this made me lol

Thames is on some kind of run, another Jack today. The man loves April

who is the council now a days anyway? I want to get opinions and get something on the books ASAP, like before the end of day if possible. If there is draft pick stripping than sitting 2 starters is too much IMHO, so we should let JB know before he does so.

It could conceivably be both, we just need to get this s*** sorted out and not be draconian with punishing an honest mistake too harshly, because it really leaves a s***** taste in your mouth if it happens to you when it was an honest mistake.

You haven't addressed the main part of my argument tho. Punishing him by taking a draft DOESN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP RE-BALANCE THE MATCHUP. What is a better mechanism to do this? Would you trade a Beede start for a Ray start in any conceivable case? No? I'd call that a punishment. And we're talking another start on top. I honestly don't see how this is ridiculous, but it sounds like we need the council to get together and make a ruling.

Whats your solution then? (honest question). I don't mind the sitting another player rule because it is easy to scale. Part of the punishment (if not the main part) should be to re-balance the current matchup. If Beede came in and pitched a perfect game with 27 SO's, the problem would obviously be a lot more serious. I'm not totally against some sort of punishment, but losing 2 high-end starts is sort of a double whammy in that it addresses the re-balancing and punishing (because JB has a much worse shot at winning without 2 starts). I'm open to suggestions, but we need to figure this out quick as JB is sitting Robbie in a game that starts in like a few hours

+1. I can add a tracker to the back-end of the Google Doc (but I am not going back to dig up old examples, this starts now) I almost think a case by case punishment is the best. Taking into account; 1) The egregiousness of the add 2) The impact of the starts before the add is noticed 3) History of the offender 4) Importance of the match-up (ie, do this in the playoffs or stretch run and the stakes are WAY higher) People add owned prospects several times a seasons, its just usually noticed (by the adder or league at large). These are never (and I think SHOULD never) be punished. The goal is to be fair to the league, not punish people for the sake of it. In this case losing 2 high calibre starts seems more than fair for a few s***** innings of Beede pitching and will almost certainly affect the match-up more. We should probably get some input from the 'offended party' (Hurl). It would be hilarious and s***** if he sat Ray +1 on the leagues blessing then they get blown up and cost Hurl the match without his input.

as someone who has owned almost all SS prospects before this year, I can tell you they are always in demand even if you choose to move off them.

love that for you BTS, and I like Rodgers. The walk rate is concerning however

Sitting a starter is probably more than enough honestly. Beede didn't help you in any stat but Ks. I for one am not out for blood, just something as a knock. I've had issues in the past where if you 'ctrl-f' it sometimes didn't bring up the Google Sheet search function and tried to search the page (which won't work). It hasn't happend in a while for me, but could conceivably still be an issue.

Watching the game I felt he was painting a lot more than the walk total shows. Got f***ed on quite a few call (especially 2-seamer on inside to lefties). All in all, not dominate in the true sense, but a great game and bodes well for the future. Sanchez probably won't be an ace as he can't miss bats as often as needed. But he should be a really valuable rotation piece.

if he hadn't have pitched for him it would probably just be a wrist slap, but the damage is done. Not sure what our options are if it affects the match result.

JB added Tyler Beede and he is shown as owned by Hurl. Beede pitched for him. What is the protocol for this? Check you adds everyone.

nice to see Lourdes playing so well. Hopefully he can develop into that super utility guy everyone was hoping for, even if the arrival is delayed.
