NFBC Message Boards

"Add in countless other unpredictable risks. Star hitter busts hand on HBP. Runner slides into bag breaks ankle. Wife breaks your rib giving massage. Tripped over luggage and tore ACL. Tore ACL covering first base. Pitcher hit in head with line drive. Slipped on wet grass and ripped groin. Closer is...

I’m seeing these debates and I agree with the idea that we don’t know whose going to get TJ and we don’t know whose not going to play so there was no advantage. The only fair argument I see is people didn’t sign up for 60 game season, ok so whatever let’s say that’s the case then those same people ...

Good observation regarding DFS, I plan on playing DraftKings should the baseball season finally get going.

Regardless what happens, I'm still on board with whatever Greg, Tom and Darik decides, going to be a tough decision either way.

One of many reasons to not play these out

We also don't know who will go down with TJ or pull a lat.

KJ these are two completely different things and you know it

No doubt, not worth replying to KJ, but glad you did!

We don't even know if some of the star players will even play, or who the players are that may be more prone to getting the virus and may sit. Now with the Phillies and Blue Jay players testing positive, what's going to happen if a team has many players test positive and need to be quarantined for 2...

I'd like to see a list of players who are "at risk" of Covid-19 and may sit out the season if it were played out.

Bob Nightengale:
"The union is expected to formally reject the proposal before Sunday's deadline."

And since Sunday is the deadline to get in at least 72-games, at least according to the owners, it's looking like a 48-50 game season...what a joke!

Bob Nightengale:
"MLB Players Association considers MLB's latest offer that includes 76-game season a 'step backwards".

Ouch, 1/2 season doesn't even sound like it will happen.

"abandon NFBC and put them in danger of going out of business"

Not sure I understand, who's abandoning the NFBC?

Owners are stalling so they start August 1st, play for 2 months (50 games?), start playoffs in October and be done by November 1st. Players should come put now and say that's not happening, start in July or forget it, playing a 1/3 of the season is ridiculous.

"...nor if they decide to play what happens if a lot of (already well-paid) stars decide to sit this season out." Yeah, can you imagine Kershaw saying screw it, I'm not playing a 50-game schedule? Or if the White Sox get hit with the virus and many of those young stars everyone is reaching for (such...

Has a minimum number of MLB games played for NFBC to move forward been discussed? If 82, are we good to go? If 50 is everything canceled? I apologize if this was already discussed, let's hope tomorrow they all come to there senses and announce a 114 game season.

My teams usually start off fast then fade at the end, I wouldn't mind an 80-game schedule!

“Looking more and more like there will be no Baseball season?” Not sure I agree with that. I have to believe owners and players will work it out, rather than the alternative...NOTHING and risk jeopardizing a % of the fan base for next year. As for me, I’m very much looking forward to the season and...

Hopefully no news is good news and they are working behind closed doors to get a deal done, sick of the constant leaks and negotiations through the media.

Maybe I'm crazy but I think in reality there's tens of millions of people that have this around the World and the death rate is in reality like 0.1%. Once they realize that they'll just decide to reopen everything and live with it like the flu. Yeah, you're crazy! :) Seeing that there is no vaccine...

I don’t think anyone has any idea when this will be over. Unless this virus is totally eliminated, I mean 100%, isn’t there a strong likelihood it stays around for a while? The virus isn't going away, it is part of the world now just like other flu viruses. If the country waits until it is 100% era...

Wow, Bryant in the 6th rd? He's dropping like crazy, seems like great value there.

Still not working, why not just remove the feature? Seems unnecessary anyway.

I guess it can be useful to see how the other teams are doing without having to click on the teams, assuming it's actually working...otherwise, it is useless!

Sounds good, thanks Darik.

So it shows in Live Scoring, YTD 7905, Change up 54pts, but it also shows to the right I'm up 64pts, so should I actually have 7915pts? Not sure why the numbers can't be correct for live scoring, pretty frustrating.

Honestly, we don’t need live scoring at this part of the year. If this helps FAAB, maybe we can just go one day without live scoring going forward to help? I'm not in any leagues that have FAAB, only Cutline and DC leagues, so I disagree with your idea! lol Honestly, one shouldn't affect the other,...
