Re: AJ Smith-Shawver

Wayne, he didn’t make an appearance in a game until Sunday and so he entered the pool of available players the following day, on Monday.

Re: NFBC 20th Anniversary Live Events: THANK YOU!!!

Greg, Tom, Darik, and Team: Congratulations on a great 20 years! It is great seeing so many contests growing and selling out. Season-long fantasy baseball is alive and well! Thanks so much for putting on great live events year after year. I had an awesome time in NYC and Vegas. It's like Christmas i...

Re: NFBC New York 2023: Definitely At Dave & Busters!!

I booked at the Hampton Inn on 8th Avenue as Greg recommended. I don't think there was any special NFBC room rate, but the rates were very reasonable for NYC when I booked (early December). I got a room for Thursday and Friday nights for a little under $240 per night (not including all of the fees a...

Re: NFBC New York 2023: Possibly At Dave & Busters

Greg - The schedule looks good. Last year, I did the Friday 9 am AC, the MTM Ultimate, and a Saturday Main Event in NYC. Count me in for those three again come March. I'd happily add a $1,000 DC to my dance card if we can fill it. Given that I'm already planning to do an AC and the Ultimate on Frida...

Re: NFBC New York 2023: Possibly At Dave & Busters

Thanks, Greg. I very much appreciate the NFBC's efforts to keep live drafts in NYC. I will be there for the 2023 drafts, wherever you hold them. My preference from the choices listed would be Dave & Busters. Traveling into NYC from Upstate NY, I typically take the train so anywhere in Manhattan work...

That's really sad news, Wayne. I never met Bill personally but recall doing some online DCs with him in prior years and chatting with him in those. Quick suggestion: Maybe copy your post in a separate thread so more folks see this? Very sad. I also see that he was a having a great season and among t...

Re: Merry Christmas

Thanks, Dan, to you and yours as well. I agree. As dysfunctional as MLB is at times, I find it hard to believe they’ll be stupid enough screw-up this regular season. It’s a lot of fun drafting now, and the live drafts in March will be great. Merry Christmas to all now and, hopefully, we’ll have Chri...

Stewart Hotel - Black Friday Sale

Just an FYI for folks planning to draft in NYC. The Stewart Hotel is having a Black Friday sale. Room rates for the March draft are pretty cheap, starting under $80/night before the ridiculous taxes and fees.

Re: This Is The Final Scoring Period Of 2021 NFBC Season

If the survey results and rules are being reexamined again on these issues, then I can't resist pointing out that the entire debate whether or not to allow lineup changes for Game 163 can be avoided simply by not counting extra play-in/tie-breaker games. I understand the arguments for and against co...

Re: Set Lineup

Just wanted to support this request. Here are a few examples: I have Jean Segura in one starting lineup at MI. Next to his name it says “(2B).” He’s eligible at 2B and 3B, and so it would be helpful to have all his eligible positions listed next to his name so I can quickly see - but don’t have to r...

Re: Innings Minimum

Thanks, Greg. Can you clarify - does a team that fails to hit 1,000 IP get moved down to 1 point in ERA and WHIP in both league standings and overall standings, or just league standings? Thanks.

Re: Innings Minimum

I agree the 1,000 innings minimum is worth reconsidering for this season. My understanding is that the 1,000 innings minimum is intended to discourage crazy strategies that can throw off league and overall standings, and is intended to be a relatively easy to achieve "minimum." For 2021, however, 1,...

Good point and good story. I remember Garvey well - that clean-cut Boy Scout persona - the Dodgers had a great infield and team in the late-70's/early-80's when they played my Yankees in the Series. It must have been awesome to pepper him with questions for a few days - I'd have done the same. It pr...

Great post, Dan.

I’ll add a skinny little shit for ya - Pedro Martinez. As a rookie he was about 5’ 10” or 11” and had to be sub-160 pounds. He turned out pretty well.

For all you auction fans, we're up to 9 of 15 for Sunday night's DC Auction. 23-round auction on Sunday followed by a 27-round DC (2 hours to start, 1 hour after Round 30). Should be fun.
