NFBC Message Boards

I certainly do not want to turn the thread into the typical political pissing match but lets be honest, people like Ann Coulter gets attacked on a personal level primarily because those attacking her cannot win a debate on the merits of her real points. Does she at times cross the line and say thing...

As we say in the USA, if you cannot outline how and why something is a "load of old bollocks mate" the comment holds little water. Some of what she said about soccer (which is painful to watch and soccer fans can spare me the "you aren't sophisticated enough to appreciate soccer" nonsense) and socc...

I had Cargo last year and obviously he was having a great season prior to the mysterious finger injury. I was shocked that he didn't have any kind of corrective surgery in the offseason for it. Having said that, my pitching staff of Jose Fernandez, Pineda, Ventura not looking so good now!

:geek: I'm never "excited" about any player getting injured whether it's TJS or just a cramp. I've got Miggy on a few teams so I'm not even a little happy about it. Players I avoided this season: Fernandez Harper Cargo Sale C Lee Gio Sabbathia Verlander Braun R Zimmerman Arenado Machado Wieters Bel...

This is why I love the NFBC/NFFC. Class act guys. great fantasy gaming culture. I appreciate it.

I believe I saw a post in the past that outlined a way we can see "games started" on the free agent list. Obviously making it easier to filter starters from relievers. I am not as skilled with the website as many here are. Any tips?

As I said before. I think we as serious fantasy players understand guys get hurt all the time. We understand injuries are part of the game and the team/roster management that comes with it is part of the game. What cannot be denied is that it is kind of shocking that 2 high level professional baseba...

I don't think there are many (if any) idiots here. I think most here are some of the best fantasy baseball/football players in the world. I think we all get hammered with bad luck from time to time. I think when the stakes are this high it can be mildly therapeutic to vent about our bad luck in a se...

I do not believe anyone could have predicted these guys (Harper and Hamilton) would both tear thumb ligaments diving head first into bases. It is still a pretty bad break no matter what their history was. Would have been nice if the initial reports on Harper were not that the injury was minor so pe...

Edward Kings,

Great post. I made mine above before reading yours. It isn't that there were injuries. It was the TYPE of injuries they got. Huge downer for anyone having both of those guys on a high stakes team regardless of their injury history.

Let me clarify a few points. I certainly will manage the hell out of my team and do all I can to make it and keep it competitive. I was just venting irritation and frustration about the almost unthinkable way 2 star players could get hurt in that way. I always get a kick out of some how people talk ...

Nothing like spending $1600 and having both Harper and Josh Hamilton on the team and watch the season end before April because two professional baseball players can't slide into a base without crippling themselves. Sickening.

Can we take a 76th entry? lol I just got the chance to check this out and it is sold out!

Love the changes. One request that I have seen from others. If it has been done forgive me. Can we have the link to bring up the old faab format be at the top of the page rather than the bottom? That way for those who want to use the old format for now while working to get comfortable with the new o...

Maybe someone can update us on the issue. I do like to take the quick peek at live scoring using it. I also can make sudden lineup changes if not in front of a computer.

I am using this app some and am finding the live scoring function is not working. Is this the case for everyone? I deleted my app and uploaded it twice and same thing is happening.

I am not overly computer savvy so I immediately revert to the old faab format. The stakes are too high to be messing with something that visually is so different. The fear is a mistake could be made that is costly. I would love it if the original version had a drag/drop option. I also hope the origi...

Though I took Harper I think I agree that it may have been better to let someone like this prove he can produce on that level (and stay healthy) at least once before investing a first round pick on him.

What is the general consensus on him? I have very mixed feelings. Obviously he has the tools on paper. Can hit, can run, etc. He also has never put together a dynamic season in his brief career. I am curious to know what others expect from him this year and if he is worthy of a late 1st round select...
