He's sitting on my bench today or else I'd be pumped. I need QS and K's in the one league I'm pretty close to winning.

Sale is going to start tomorrow if the division is on the line. Go Yankees, go Astros.

I think I had 1 starter go 5 or more innings this week, Kluber. I might actually lose head to head strikeouts for literally the first week this season. Wins? Forget about it most starters only went 4 innings.

There are like 4 categories that will come down to tomorrow and we are tied 5-5 right now. Welp



Edit: getting to watch my Angels give up a million hits in person to Haniger, Seager and Cruz against my fantasy team sucks extra hard.

Best of luck to everyone, myself included, locked into a last day championship match.

I was looking at some very early 2018 rankings. Charlie Blackmon, despite being the top player in my league, is shaping up to be a late first rounder.

One player I really like is Trea Turner. He's looking to be a first rounder, which I get because he's the only premier base stealer who isn't a liability in other spots.

Speaking of - this seems nuts to me - but Dee Gordon as a second rounder? I get he can win a category on his own and is in a great situation. But in the top 20 players off the board? 2B looks to be quite top heavywith him, Altuve, Rizzo and Jose Ramirez.

E: Also Dozier, Murphy and Schoop.

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
I went hard after the 5th place in my league this week, and my team couldn't even do that for me. Again, I was in first place for the majority of the second half of the year, and then my team just went south in the final week and playoffs. My offense consists of Goldschmidt, Stanton, Rendon, and Turner, and I still couldn't win most offense categories.

Only ahead by 2 strikeouts on the week and guy I'm up against has a starter today and I don't, so welp unless all my relievers play.

Dee Gordon is valuable for SBs and Runs, alot of his value is tied up in Stanton behind him because he doesn't do much else. He has so few RBIs its amazing. Every other leadoff hitter has more than him.

To sign them is my real test

With full no movement clause
After leading my entire league in R and HR with a .282 average and 1.032 OPS, my team has hit .214 since Thursday with 1 HR and I've lost my championship after going from 9th on June 1st to the #1 seed


I've had more sub-.225 batting days in the semis and finals than I've had in the entire regular season since the all star break

I'm winning 5-4-1 by a single point of batting average. 73/258 as a team to his 73/259.

Holy gently caress this final round is close.

I dominated all year in my h2h league, tons of 10-0 weeks, mostly got by on my pitching. This week in the finals I was 4-0-1 on offense and 1-4 on pitching. Just barely held on at the end there.

So finished with a 1st place, two 2nd places, a 3rd place and a 5th place finish. I'll take it. Lost my 2 other championships by .001 AVG and 1 rbi.

Won my dynasty lite league this year. First time I've won in a few years. Last year I lost in the title game with what I think was a better team. Things just worked out. The guy I was most worried about I beat 10-0-2 in the semis. If I had played him this week I think he would have swept me 12-0.

Even though it was a 10-1-1 win, all of the categories were too close for comfort. I was getting crushed early on by a combination of Altuve, Judge and JD Martinez. Not fun going against those guys.

WE WERE ALL UP IN THAT SHIT LIKE A MUTHAFUCKA. IT'S CLEANER THAN A BROKE DICK DOG.

I talked my league into a 20 week regular season so our playoffs don't get screwed over by benched players next year.

I think both of us would have whooped your rear end lol. I wasn't managing my lineup at all and left a ton of pitching on the bench. That's baseball! :v:

Don't matter if you don't make it there first. Every playoff matchup was a complete blowout for some reason.

My points league is insanely close and coming down to the last 5 days. 3 of us are within 10 points of each other (and we've scored 5400 points).

I think I'm the only one that realizes that you can exceed the innings limit on the day that you surpass it though. So I'm going to get as low as I can by Saturday and load up on Sunday's starters. Should I feel bad if this is how I win? It's not breaking any rules, but it feels a little wrong.

Update: I elected to go the honourable route. But then one of the other guys loaded up 6 starters on Saturday despite him having 5 innings left to use. In reaction I grabbed McHugh and Bridwell on Friday (having Anibal Sanchez and Chris Sale already slated to start on Sunday in my lineup). First thing Saturday morning he dropped all those guys and picked up every remaining starter for Sunday, so I was left with those 4 guys. When Boston won I grabbed Hector Velazquez to start for Sale.

Most of the guys he picked up for Saturday were duds, so I was down 33 points going into Sunday.

The results:

Still proud of going 15-4-2 even if I didn't win the playoffs :)

Your team was fantastic I thought it was going to roll over everyone in the playoffs but alas..playoff baseball. I'm still kicking myself for drafting Yelich over Stanton. It will haunt me all winter.

I didn't draft Stanton in any leagues and I thought folks were nuts for picking him as high as they did.
