Well done. Choppy waters have been a cruel lady to him. Time is running out for Poncedeleon. I hope he finds that elusive fountain of youth. I was half-expecting a channeling of your inner Hawk Harrelson...."(COSLEY) That is so bad. That is absolutely BRUTAL!" Hopefully DPdP can "discover" a new pi...

What was seemingly a perfect match between team & plyer, it's really unchartered waters now for DPdL after his release from the Mariners as he navigates his new found free agency and explores all his options. Hopefully he discovers a new landing spot soon. I wish him well on his journey.

Given my proclivity for taking cheap shots at the NY Metropolitans, I would be remiss if I did not take this opportunity to congratulate the Mets & their fans on their first no-hitter in franchise history. Although a combined no-hitter, it was a real, no-Adrian Johnson-blown-call-assisted no-hitter ...

While many have noted the Wizard of OZ as an allegory about monetary policy and the gold and silver standards as true "money," as opposed to fiat paper as money, the use of the Wizard of Oz as a metaphor for going to Las Vegas for NFBC drafts is perfectly symbolic as well. As we as a society become ...

I don't know what's possible with the system but here's another suggestion. Set it so that no matter the timer, someone can go to sleep at 11 PM ET and wake up at 7 AM PT. For example for a 2 hour DC the clock would pause at 1 AM ET until 8 AM ET for the first 30 rounds and once we reach round 31 t...

Yes, definitely need 8 hour pause, the only question for me is which times are best, which is worthy of further discussion. 12:00 AM - 8:00 AM EST seems like a happy medium but whatever accommodates the majority and the 3 time zones best but I definitely feel 8 hour pause is necessary.

I can't imagine the stress and frustration that you guys have endured over the past two years. Truly, one thing after another. Yet you persevere. Here's hoping that once this lockout is in the past, the next few years of business are thoroughly predictable and utterly boring. Well said & I endorse ...

Wear a mask if you want Coz or don't wear a mask. Come naked for all I care. I just want baseball so that we can HAVE FUN at the live events. The rest is all noise to me. I don’t wear a mask since I have been “immunized” with a very high IQ. Unfortunately, for the lower IQ herd-following normies, I...

I just talked to my contact at the Bellagio in Las Vegas and there is NO MASK MANDATE at the Bellagio as of today. Guests can wear a mask if they'd like, but they are no longer required to wear one. Plan accordingly and now let's fill up Las Vegas. NOW WE JUST NEED BASEBALL!!! :D Have we reached he...

Hallelujah, our long national nightmare of pretending pitchers can hit is over. In 2021, pitchers hit .110/.150/.142. They struck out in 44% of their plate appearances, and in nearly half the ones that didn’t end in a sacrifice bunt. They had nearly five times as many strikeouts as they did hits. ( ...

Like most of us, I joined the NFBC because I thought I knew the game and that I would be highly competitive in this format of fantasy baseball . However, it's not until you play in the NFBC against players like John Pausma do find out what competitive fantasy baseball really is. As a player that ha...

As we approach Thanksgiving, I would be remiss if I did not take this opportunity to congratulate and express my thankfulness for the sad-sack, sorry -excuse for an MLB franchise otherwise known as the N.Y. Metropolitans. Just for this year alone, let us show our gratitude for the following, not nec...

I made the push for the change for a couple of reasons, but one of them involved fairness. Nobody knows who is going to be in that play in game -- heck, this year it could have been the Yankees or the Red Sox or the Blue Jays or the Mariners or the Dodgers or the Giants -- and nobody knows if a gam...

It’s time to bump the $400 DC’s to $500 & make it a stand-alone league with all the prize money in the league & not lumped into toward the Overall with the 150s for those who want to compete for higher league prizes. So you would have 50s, 150s, 500s, & 1000s. If the $50 DCs have their own overall ...

That said, Coz's stubborn view of THIS league is unfounded. It's a unique concept and rule set that should not be tethered to the 1973 rotisserie chicken ruleset. To accept all the other changes but get hung up on one small element which fits this concept better - already having short time-frame co...

Scherzer would still have gotten the out I think, but that check swing strick call to end the came was HORRIBLE! Brutal. Have some situational awareness, Gabe. And to be walking off the field while making the call like his supper was getting cold was an even worse look optics-wise. Really a bad way...

P.S. If games suspended before the arbitrary August deadline are then resumed in September when stats then become “official,” will those September stats be applied nunc pro tunc back to that date or nah? Please advise. 8-) P.S. Ending the season in August is not arbitrary. It roughly coincides with...

Coz, if 2021 NFBC $50 DC Champion John Pausma signs his soon to be released book "Dominating kindergarten dodgeball and $50 DC's" for you, would that be enough? :lol: Tom That could help, as well as Ando & Giese agreeing to share some of their watermelon White Claw. In all seriousness, I refuse to ...

One minor tweak to the rules after further thought and discussion, the private pool will include an additional $200 per team entry along with draft slot bidding and player salaries. Thus, the absolute minimum a team could spend will be $1250 rather than $1050. This will give the weekly payout a hig...

• Season ends the final weekend in August Season ends in August? This is un-American & offends my all-games-count sensibilities & paraphrasing Billy Beane my shit doesn’t work for 5 months. I mean it doesn’t really work for 6 months either but I like to have September to delude myself into thinking...

Hi Greg, Just wanted to clear up a question I had based on the scoring for the hold em game. First time player of the game. For RD1, which sounds like the wild card games(but not 100% sure if they count scoring wise those games) For example, if I start with Chris Sale and he pitches in the wild car...
