DeepDickPizza: Oct 11, 2012; THREE TIME! THREE TIME!

If I lose my Roto league, I'm going to look at the day I dropped Evan Gattis a month ago as the day I hosed it all up. What's he hit, like 15 home runs in that time?

Luckily the guy that picked him up isn't in contention but fuuuuuucccccckkkk.

EDIT: Double checked and I dropped him on August 23rd. Almost a month to the day. He has hit 11 home runs since then. :suicide:

Gordon I am afraid of cutting since he's a potential category winner. But he sucks right now and he may suck without roids.

Should have specified - it's Gerrrit, not AJ Cole. Hanley I was fine with cutting, but the way he is closing the season...

I was thinking Alex Gordon but I realize you mean Dee. I'd probably keep him.

That's a poo poo rule, tbh. Moncada was available, Panda used his waiver spot on him, he should get to keep him forever.

Yeah we'll figure something out if it comes to that. It would suck though. Worst case I guess I can just get the waiver back. :v:

Dee is going to be an interesting case study next year. If he's right he gives you two of the most difficult categories to account for (AVG and SB), but if he isn't then...welp.

I think Villar will be the better option though.

So last week of the season the #4 seed tanked against the #3 seed because he wanted to avoid playing the hot #7 seed if they snuck in (he missed by half a game) and me at #2. Regardless of the first round matchup, both the #3 & #4 would've advanced but now the semi-finals are swapped. I'm down 3-9 with an ERA of 9 (thanks Cobb) but would be beating him 9-5. He's getting blown out by the #1 seed, but that doesn't make me feel any better.

So much :salt:

Hes the most sell high of all possible players. Hes the platonic form of sell high. Too bad its past trade deadlines.

The Cubs moved Lester's next start from Monday to Sunday. I came really close to dropping him yesterday. That would've really sucked.

If the Yankees didn't get swept in Boston and made it into the WC (well, I guess they still technically can) I would be unironically lobbying for this.

You shut the gently caress up he's perfect and always will be.

I still can't believe my fantasy "Pick a cool prospect to be a homer" pick actually worked out for me for once.

Are you crying because of the cows. I didn't understand the feeding mechanic.

We're tied 6-6, and I don't feel comfortable at all. WHIP and ERA can get blown up in an instant, and you have a huge lead in RBI, AVG, and OPS.

My only ace in the hole is I think I hold the tiebreaker. Other than that, I'm completely unsure how this will turn out.

In the playoffs yahoo's first tiebreaker is season h2h which you hold, so I need to outright win the matchup, which is why I'm reasonably sure I'm boned.

Kind of. Fully expecting to go the the beach tomorrow. :v:

It's clockwork. He made it further into the year as a good fantasy option, but I had no reservations making that cut.

DeepDickPizza: Oct 11, 2012; THREE TIME! THREE TIME!

Ugh. I'm in a really tight matchup in the semis of my main league where I hold the tiebreak. We're currently tied in quality starts. He owns Jon Lester, who the Cubs moved up from Monday to Sunday, and I own Jose Fernandez, who the Marlins moved back from Sunday to Monday. So now I have no starters going tomorrow and he has an ace. Each of us have one move left on the week, so even if I stream someone, he can stream one more guy as well. Such a goddamn crapshoot and I'm going to be really salty if this move costs me a spot in the finals.
