this is known as the Mesorasco Constant

I think it works for pitchers though. Randy Johnson was one of the ugliest people on the planet.

The only time I bench pitchers is when I'm up on ERA/WHIP against a punk rear end buster who drafted only closers in a feeble attempt to try to corner ERA/WHIP.

please steal a base or ten, mccutchen. it's getting to be that time where he absolutely floors it, right?

drat, researching now, looks like he's a lot more consistent than i thought. for some reason i always had it in my head that he flailed for the first two months and then just tore up the rest of the season. but it seems that is nowhere near the case.

well, please start doing cool baseball things, andrew :unsmith: even though your plate discipline has drastically worsened this season :smith:

I wouldn't say a LOT better... he's 8/30 with 1 rbi and no homers over that time, and he missed the 3 of the last 4 games. he's still riding my bench for now, too frustrating.

Eduardo Rodriguez is replacing Buchholz in the rotation. To me he is a wait-and-see in a 10-teamer but there's serious upside there with his stuff (mid 90s fastball from the left side). Had some fantastic games last year and some horrible beatdowns too.

Is Yahoo scoring not working for anybody else? It was working when I went to bed last night but today it doesn't have any scores for Saturday games for anyone in the league and has X's by all the players showing they didn't play.

This week has taught me why I hate having bench bats. Played Story, sat Lindor, missed a homer. Played Lindor, sat Story, missed a Story homer. Played both yesterday, missed a Vmart homer.

There's some rumors that the Astros will bring up Bregman before Reed because they have a bigger need at 3B and dude is crushing AA. I've got him stashed in a few leagues, he's got SS eligibility and would get 3B if called up.

Villar owns. Was anyone even talking about this guy preseason? Leads the league in steals now

I had heard zilch about him until I looked for someone in free agency to replace Tulowitzki while he's on the DL. Today Villar went 2/2, 3 runs, 1 RBI, 1 SB... yes please!

It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.
I'm either too late or too early on people. I first picked up Blackmon in 2011 (or was it 2012?), Dee Gordon first year, Alcides Escobar first year, and Villar a couple years ago. All of them sucked.

Didn't believe in JD Martinez, Arenado, Machado, etc, and missed their breakouts.

Turner already has service time from last year, I think 40 or so days, but tomorrow is the first day the Nats gain an extra year of control on him. Because of the way the service time works, he'll finish this year with 171 out of the 172 days in a service "year" if called up tomorrow. It would not shock me if he's already packing to get on a plane tonight.

Wow Ozuna has definitely been the best free agent pickup of the year for me, he's putting up video game numbers. I picked him up early on most of my teams :dance:
