BOLD Predictions

The first pitch of the season was hit for a home run by Chicago Cubs Ian Happ.
The final pitch of the season will be hit for a walkoff home run in the World Series by Ian Happ.

Your turn...

First pitch a HR by Happ?

He’s on pace for

Did Greg’s response get redacted?

An interesting read. Both previous posts. I think the solution is more options for those who want clocks of 30-90 minutes. Plus perhaps DC drafts with the overnight pause based on the Pacific time zone too. Drafters who are taking their first stab at an NFBC slow draft seem to want the slower pace a...

Here’s a puzzler for you:

If we have a hitter whose team is off Friday in an active roster spot, can he be replaced Saturday with another player whose team did not play Friday?

That’d be a first, I think

Really glad I stuck 20 players in my queue. I wasn’t aware of this message from NFBC (I’m sure at least half those in my league don’t even read the forums) so I was surprised to see the clock running at 05:45 CT today. Only a couple of rounds had gone thru since I went to sleep earlier. I wasn’t on ...

The wheel pick just did a double timeout.
He got Honeywell’d.

I’ve heard Alex Cobb will be optioned to the minors to get prepared to join the Orioles rotation.
This means he’s available in today’s FAAB but if not called up before next Sunday he won’t be biddable in leagues where he’s a free agent.
Is that correct?

Our DC is still in round 34. When I asked in Chat if we could pick up the pace please, one manager said: “maybe slow drafts aren’t for you”. Any slow draft that’s still got a clock longer than 1 hour and more than 10 rounds to go should be throttled up today. We need to get these done before opening...

You could call him lucky.
But imagine how lucky he is if he took Bumgarner at pick 31 in every league.

Luck is relative.

this is why all main event leagues should be blind bidding on your draft slot. we apportion free agents that way. should be the same process for draft slots. we don't assign free agents "randomly". if someone can explain how having some owners/partners receiving multiple #1 main event picks this ye...

Random?

13, 7, 3, 2, 3, 3, 6, 2, 2, ?
After 8 tries KDS 1&15 seem to elude me despite being my top two choices

Or you could just use Auto? Idk just a thought? Sure. But it’s some of the same people who asked for the overnight pause who say “there’s no way in hell I’m going on auto when there’s more than 3 picks ahead of me”. I guess rather than getting the players they want they’re a slave to ADP and don’t ...

Seems like some people think the DC draft rooms are down.
No one makes picks during the clock pause and more than one owner times-out during the daytime.

Round 15 of a 2-hr Draft Champions league.

We’ll need to adjust the clock to 1-hr sooner or later, so why not sooner?

It just takes one owner who works a job where phones aren’t allowed to cause a speed bump during daytime draft hours. I know at least one guy in our current DC who is west coast. They want to keep the clock running later. Would it improve the situation if there were a choice of leagues based on cloc...

Just became apparent at least one owner in my league was under the impression you can’t make picks while the clock is paused overnight. If there’s a misunderstanding of the clock pause by 1 or more in every league it explains a lot. How can NFBC get the word out to newbies to let them know to keep m...

If managers keep pulling SP after 3rd time thru the lineup, QS will dwindle and disappear except for a few workhorses. In a game with no ties, there will always be a Win. Always 2,430 wins in a season give or take a few rainouts/snowouts etc. Finding them is part of the challenge. Do any of the NFBC...

Not sure about other leagues but in my last 2 there have been nearly half who are totally new to NFBC. It’s probably got a lot to do with the casual attitude toward making prompt picks. The overnight pause seems to bring the idea “if it’s after 8pm and I’m not on deck there’s no reason to log in til...

Cutline 4-hr draft: day 6 now round 18
This is TEN teams!!

We’ll be lucky to finish by Opening Day

I dunno if the NFBC forgot to spring forward or what but our 4-hour clock just changed to a 5-hour clock after the last pick

Cut line started 3 days ago. We are on pick 72. I'm done with these leagues. I just can't understand why you sign up to draft and then literally don't pay any attention to the draft. It's bullshit. Just like the MLB wants to capture the casual fan, NFBC wants to capture the casual drafter. I think ...

If the slow poke logs in right now and grabs the SP just signed by the Twins, you’ll have your smoking gun

Cutline 4-hr started 108 hours ago, we’re waiting for pick 124.
Two or three owners are setting their Auto-1 frequently so it’s the rest who average more than an hour per pick.

Ridiculous.

NFBC Brass, Just getting our spreadsheets setup and was curious how the first Cutline scoring period will look. Is it going to be one scoring period for Thurs-Sunday when the season starts or will that 4 day stretch be combined with the first full week to make an 11 day scoring period? Also, for rot...
