In a Quality Start, K/9 categories league who would you rather grab once they return from the IL? Chris Sale or Lance Lynn?

Points league A. Rasmussen B. Javier

Rasmussen

It's time to make Holmes permanent closer Boone!

Ok so I just got sent a trade in a 10 team points league… It’s gausman, Lindor, and Luis urias for Robbie ray, mcclanahan, and Tyler oneil What do y’all think?

I really don’t know how I should value this trade. Should I trade Wander Franco for Carlos Rodon and Randy Arozarena?? I think Wander is just a bit hurt right now and is a top 10 bat when healthy. But you can’t deny points with Rodon and Randy. What do y’all think?

Redraft or keeper?

I miss the old days when I just wanted one team to win. Instead of wanting one team to score two runs, so the score is within 3 for a save, but not put up more than that, so the save is easier, but than also the other team doesn’t put up enough runs in the bottom of the next inning so it’s no longer a save situation.

Please please please give Raisel the save opportunity if there is one.

Manny been blazing today

Sandoval fucking my team real hard right now

Went into today 3-11, then Sandoval and Alcantara insisted that they were having none of that, and if all goes well, I'm looking at winning 8-5. That's fantasy baseball, Suzyn.

Give Nestor, Espinal. Get Bryan Reynolds and Abreu?

I wouldn’t

My wife, who doesn’t set her lineup or add and drop players unless I tell her they’re hurt or she should drop them, is going to beat the Story owner this week and is in line to outscore every team in the league. She was carrying 3 catchers prior to this week. Love to see it.

Good on her but, and no offense to your wife, I absolutely hate players in fantasy who do stuff like that. Plus, didn't you tell her that holding 3 catchers is egregious?!

It’s a casual family league. She’s not the only one.

So she’s a taco

Sandoval, Webb and Tellez for Gausman?

I’ll almost never accept a 3-1 trade just on principle. 1+1+1 does not equal 3 in fantasy because now I have to drop 2 players and you can only start so many people. It has to be closer to a 2+2+1 for me to consider it.

I usually include their 2 worst players in the deal (who I then drop). It amazes me the level of trash some people keep on their rosters.

thats giving three nickels for a quarter, but if you can get it done id jump on that

My kinda deal!

if it works, it works. here's to hoping 🤞🏽

Heads up, I'm facing Vlad, wander, franmil, Tork, and Baez next week, so expect them to get hot

Just curious what position that team is in the standings in your league.

Not high. Edit 2-3 but could be better if managed better

If Torkelson gets hot, it'll be a minor miracle.

A: Webb + Sandoval B: Rodon + Hunter Greene

I’d take B

aroldis with a healthy whip of 1.57

My opponent having him might very well have just won me the WHIP category for this week's matchup. :)

Chapman ruining the beautiful numbers Sandy gave me

Oh Chapman ded

Pollock or Yaz?? Redraft 6x6

Yaz

Sandoval going for the CGSO?

Please no jinxing in this thread.

I’ll reverse jinx it. He’ll probably get blown up this inning

I’ll accept it.

Chapman has lost it, kind of sad to see

Nah, fuck him. Bad character

true, I think I’m reminiscing on all the saves he’s gotten me over the years, but yeah he’s an asshole

Pollock been playing well lately, any change to his ROS outlook?

He’s decent when healthy but he’s oft-injured

I’m out of adds but dammit I need to add clay Holmes

It's Sunday afternoon at 6:00 how many adds do you get haha?

7 per week lol. Once the last game ends tonight I’ll get my 7 for the next week

7 per week? Holy crap I could do so much damage with that. We only get 40 *for the entire season*.

Oh man what does that come out to? 2-3 a week? I definitely could not do that. 7 per week seems like a lot but it’s a deep league and I pretty much just try to do a streamer a day for an extra points boost

Ahh I gotcha, ours refresh when the first game on Sunday starts

Winker, Cruz, Wood droppable in flair league? Bradish?

I consider Winker, Wood, and Bradish all droppable. I’d be a little hesitant to drop Wood but I don’t think he’s a must roster at this point

How we ranking Eflin, Singer and Cueto?

How you have them listed

I’m streaming JT Brubaker tomorrow and I don’t feel good about it

It's Monday, plenty of time to catch back up

Is Cortes enough for Abreu at this point?

Nasty Nestor for Abreu? That’s a good deal?

idk, that's why I'm asking. Which side do you prefer?

Rn it prob is, but wont be for long.

I love everything about this Sandoval outing so far.

Cruising today. Not making the easy stuff look hard like previous outings.

He's been absolutely fantastic

Stop. Putting. Closers. In. Non. Save. Situations. It’s not that hard Boone and the rest of the managers in the league

i’m not sure he’s the closer anymore

[удалено]

Sadly Chapman is trash outside of save situations where unfortunately he is also trash this season.

Really wanna take a shot on Hunter Greene this week for the Cubs, but I have to make a tough drop. Would have to let go of Muncy, Tellez or Chris Taylor. Really starting to think it’s a lost year for Muncy, similar to Bellinger last year. Who’s the drop?

Trade those other guys first or drop Tellez

My matchup might come down to if the A's send Cole Irvin back out and he can get me a quality start

It’s time Boone give the closer role to my boy Holmes.

Happens every time a closer isn’t in for a save.

Holmes stocks on the rise

I'm down 23 points, my opponents team is done for the day and I have Kopech and Severino facing off at Yankee stadium later. Not sure what to expect lol

They gotta average 12 each. Feel like that's pretty likely

I think that you should feel more confident than your opponent.

Any up and coming closer options that are >10% rostered?

Not sure but Duran is <25% rostered and is a decent bet to close games

He’s a lot better than Pagan unfortunately Pagan has gotten a lot more save opportunities

Jason Adam from TB(but they never have one closer), Felix Bautista from BAL. Anthony bass was warming up in thr 9th for MIA save opp

alright there goes Chapman’s closing job

Chapman what up! Time to get Holmes

Chapman wasting no time

Are relief pitchers especially bad this year

Hader and Diaz have been just fine for me

Shoutout to Eovaldi and Eflin for almost single handedly bringing my ratios back from the brink. 2 cats I'd already written off as losses become wins 🤘

Duran getting his weekly save

Traded Merrill Kelly for Frazier. Howd I do?

Pretty good.

Connor Joe or Marcus Semien ROS? I got offered a 1 for 1 trade, is semien worth taking a flyer on?

Semien for sure

Drop Barnes for either Warren or Duran in saves only?

Duran

Thanks!

Machado good

Really can’t stand this bum Graveman anymore

:(

Need 7 points between Machado/Stanton/Rendon. My cheeks are clenched

Machado triple lol, should help

Just won by 1 point omg

Aaron Judge putting me ahead I really got an MVP in the third round man makes me smile

Drafted Vladdy and Olson in the 1st and 2nd then Judge in the third.

I traded him. Deeply regretting that decision.

What was the return?

In my 8 team pts league I traded Judge and Kris Bryant for Kyle Tucker and Starling Marte

Eesh I mean could be worse ig

Oh that’s not bad at all. Sure judge is on another level but a more than serviceable return

He went right ahead of my draft slot. At least I got ~*checks notes*~ Shane Bieber. 😑

Urquidy or Kikuchi ROS?

fuck josh donaldson to be honest edit: supporting a racist is crazy

So we can’t mention the fact that Tim is not on the level of arguably the greatest player of all time who broke the color barrier? Can’t even mention it? Tim just gets to say that unchallenged? Not in my world

lol @ “not in my world”

Honestly curious. what did he say that was racist?

downvoters feel threatened

lmfao that's exactly what i'm thinking, let's embrace the downvotes

You automatically jumping to the race card is the problem. Don’t compare yourself to Jackie and you won’t get made fun of.

Nice troll

Duran closing this one out!

A: Judge B: Kyle Tucker OBP keeper league

In a keeper i think you have to take Tucker. Judge is having an MVP season tho and if you are trying to win now I’d probably take Judge

Tucker has versatility, availability, youth, and talent.

Tucker, but by a slim margin.

A

B, not very close for me

Tucker

All Rise!

time to give up on wood?

Im right behind you Whos the replacement?

I think I’m gonna pick up Grayson.

Dropped him the other day in a 12 team and he’s still out there.

Drop Gore, Ober, Kirby… for Cueto?

Not sure I’d drop any of them. Maybe Kirby but I’d like to see if he can rebound vs Oakland on Tuesday first. I also just don’t have any belief Cueto is legit and think he will likely regress hard over the next few starts

You’re… more than likely correct

Def hold Gore

Worried his SP role is gone

It literally just came back

Yeah I was stoked, but wasn’t sure what his role will be going forward. Just saw Clev back on IL

Clev just got placed on 15 day IL

I didn’t see that, thanks!

urias and ward sitting forced me to actually start javy baez for once and he homered. feels like the first good thing he's done for my team all year.

Same haha

How are you guys valuing Brady Singer moving forward ?

He’s worth a look if you can grab him off the wire. He was a top 100 prospect a couple years back. Maybe he’s figured something out, maybe not

Using a changeup more which has kept hitters honest for his sinker/slider fastball combo. Looking to have figured things out once he introduced it

Opponent had one of the best fantasy weeks in history from story and only won 6-5. I’m counting this as a win for me

Tyler Anderson or Singer ros?

I prefer taking a shot on Singer. However, for next week Anderson has a great 2 start slate.

Yeah that's how I feel but don't know if Singer will still be available

My offense does nothing on a near daily basis, except for Mike Trout

One XBH today.

Hunker down gore. You’ve got a 7 run lead. Don’t get pulled before the w is secured

I’m a Yankees fan and my Red Sox fan friend just beat me with Trevor Story this week. Pain

Should the Baltimore game finish today? It says that it is in a rain delay.

Until it says ppd, they're expecting to finish it.

Why is mountcastle dtd?

I think they said dehydration/cramps

I didn’t see what happened except he called a trainer out into the field and then walked off with him

This is my first year doing fantasy for baseball. Im on the ESPN app and our league has a 12 SP max. Going into today, my opponent was on 11/12. Today he has 4 SP. Will they all count for points even though he’ll be exceeding the max?

Depends on your LM. In my league there's a rule that if you go over you'll lose all the points

Take advantage of this going forward. The rule isn’t going to change.

Moral of the story here, switch to yahoo next year. ESPN is awful for everything.

As long as your team hasn't hit the limit when the DAY starts, you can start as many pitchers as you want that day and all stats count. That means you can use the stupid loophole to blow past the start limits on the last day of the period

They will all count because ESPN doesn’t count the total starts for each day until after all games for the day have been completed.

Well that’s no good lmao

They will count. It’s a loophole

[удалено]

It doesn't. ESPN is wack and counts them all.

Up your ass, Kevin Cash. That’s what you get for not using one of your good pitchers to close it out

Cash was ejected…

Lol

Sandoval is getting squeezed.

Profar is the dirtiest player in the game.

any young prospects that could replace max muncy?

Idk about young, but I can get in there and not hit and boot ground balls

Depends on who’s available. Gorman seems to be hitting hard and well so far

lol oh I was talking about within the Dodgers farm system

Oh ha. Well Vargas has been killing it in AAA.

Singers gem wasted

Shoutout to the homies getting so wrecked they were forced to stream Eflin and were rewarded.

Can the Yankees score so Taillon doesn’t take an L plz

Nope!

Judge tied it before so that negated the L

Is that a save for Pressley?

He came in with the tying run on deck, so I believe so.

Yes it is

It’s really nice having a Tony Gonsolin

Pressly making things interesting but gets the GIDP to get out of it. I only just caught the end of it but I saw at least one fastball at 94.

Dunning vs LAA/OAK or Kaprielian vs SEA/TEX for a two starter next week? Edit: or Freeland vs PIT/WSH?

Dunning

Lost clevinger today, wire is damn thin was thinking of stashing Grayson. Any chance we seen him within a few weeks ? What’s everyone think ? I can’t imagine they keep him caged much longer he’s too good for the minors

I’d stash him yea, best pitching prospect in baseball by a good margin
