I’m just assuming you haven’t recaptured those 19 points since then.

yeah .
in h2h leagues it’s imperative to have flexibility during the play-offs
and the ability to play hitter vs pitcher match-ups on a daily/weekly basis .

??
are you referring to my free-fall ?

my batting average (of late) would benefit by an infusion of mendozas .

thinking of playing 1-6-4 in the state’s pic-3 daily lottery .
that number comes up a lot .

If you were going to go after a 1B out of this group: Trumbo, Freeman, Moreland?

I’d have preferred a GS or IP limit, but this seems to work quite well. Puts a bit more of a premium on drafting pitchers too.

Moreland is on the wire. Been smoking hot and at home all this upcoming week. Should I make the swap?

Robot and Casper are also floating around…

my league trade deadline is tonight. I have built a stacked lineup but I am trying to pick up some major points in the WHIP, ERA, Wins and K’s.

I am getting some pretty solid offers for J Upton. One deal is Cliff Lee and Crispie Young. The other deal I would get Lester and Crawford and throw him back a marginal pitcher.
Which deal do you prefer?

Currently have Minor, would have to use one of my 10 allowed adds (per week) to grab Estrada. It’s H2H.

I was actually hoping for a K from Nunez to rub it in to my opponent a little more, but stopping Al from taking a half-point off me in Wins in the RCL is an acceptable substitute.

They just like to “kinda” play. If they win, they win, if they lose, they lose. It drives me nuts. I’m on there 5+ times a day, looking at making moves, trades, etc. Trying to win. And then there are people in the league that do absolutely nothing because they’re out of the running. We even changed it this year so that every team that makes it to the playoffs gets a little bit of money to increase the incentive to just make it. But that doesn’t seem to help.

I’m just really bitter that my team ran into a guy that pays attention and who’s team was on fire this week, and the guy in 2nd (who will be in 1st after today) plays a guy that does nothing, benches guaranteed starters, plays guys on the DL, etc. If he would have played both Hellickson and Garza yesterday, it would have gained him a point or two, which would have left me in 1st place.

@Oilcan Giuseppe:

h2h leagues are/can be lots of fun .
but if guys are playing “the buddy system” and pull off that
non-compete crap … whether for money or not , it ruins the
whole season , to the point where i want to choke the shizz
outta someone .
