Ortiz catches McCann good last night.

. Don't submit my kid to additional radiation AND have us pay for it (triple digits per X-ray) because you'd like to take the easy way out. When I told him we are going to "pass" on the X-rays, he looked at me like a deer in headlights. Like he never heard no before from a patient. He said they'd m...

listen - the 'country' as we knew it, is done. doesn't matter who is president. just rearranging deck chairs on the titanic. ***medical industry is robbing all of us blind ***colleges are ensuring our youth are financial slaves ***pensions will NEVER pay out what they promise (if lucky, maybe 50%)....

I watched the same game.

Odd that this hasn't been an issue to this point, unless he has, indeed, changed his swing.

Was McCann closer than usual??
Doubt it.

USA Today Fantasy reporting that Snell goes back down after this start.

That's a lot of entry fees.

Has anyone looked at the "On Pace" in player profiles??
Especially pitchers?

Mychal Givens is on pace for 324 games as well as 324 IP.
Helluva season.

Marlins and Nationals not playing today??

I can't remember a Friday when the entire league was not in play.

There must be a reason for this.

Not one drafter has come close to a time out.
I think this is a keeper.

I'm curious...did the teams make much use of the auto 1?
Or was everyone pretty much around each time they came up?

I know this has been suggested in earlier incarnations of this topic, but it might be of help if we had similar times zones drafting together. I did a DC last year that took 3 hours for the first pick. THE FIRST PICK! The #1 said he got confused as to the time zone we were posted in. It might also h...

SNY reported this morning that Jeurys Familia is in a recording studio writing and recording his own 9th inning entrance music.
Really?

Todd

Tyler Lyons and Alex Reyes are sporting back-to-back ADPs.

Are they really a coin toss?

I played my first league using the original Rotisserie rules in 1985. One thing about the way the Founding Father's laid it out, it was so much more about the pretending to own a team. They had logos for their teams and backstories. They had a history and an alternative universe. It's why LABR is t...

Any thought to adding a persons avg time to make a draft pick? Maybe add it to their profile or some way we can click on the persons name and get this info? I've been in drafts in the past and this info is handy. It actually made problem drafters pick up the pace once they know they are being track...

AJ Pollock's full name is Allen Lorenz Pollock. Go figure. It makes sense, like his name makes sense. Fickle in a way, but what you can you expect from a fella who's initials don't match his own initials. FWIW..his father's name is also Allen. It's not unusual to shorten Allen Jr to AJ, or Ralph Jr...

What's the thought process in deducting/penalizing a batter for an at bat? Am I correct that a walk or HBP will not result in the -1? So someone who didn't make an appearnace at all would be more favorable than someone who went 0-3, correct? The negative point for an AB is needed to reward/penalize...

Bumping - since I know someone anxious for the scoring system to be finalized since they have some work to do once it's done... Yup, we are sticking with what is listed. Here you go: For Hitters For Hitters Home Run: 6 points Stolen Base: 5 points Hit: 4 points Run: 2 points RBI: 2 points At-bat: -...

Quick drafts every night, limited FAAB, optimal scoring setup, DFS points style, and prizes within league and overall.

Okay...I guess this is what confused me.

I'm missing something and its obviously just me...

If we're doing daily drafts...why is there a FAAB period?

I'm confused.

Let's say MLB decides to go best of 3.

How do split home/away?

1-1-1?
That's going to stretch out your overall timetable for the playoffs.

Best record gets 2-1? 1-2?

Dropped Milone this week in favor of Hughes 2-start week.

Hughes a late scratch. Milone fills in and gets the win.

I'm 1/2 point back. I need this?

I was watching the Reds suspended game (I think it was suspended Friday and completed on Saturday) last week and realized that I sat Chapman that week in favor of another starter. What would be the league's interpretation for a suspended game that was completed over a different scoring period? That ...

Trout??

Have you taken a look at Ellsbury??

"In 36 games for his new team, Cespedes has 14 home runs, 36 RBIs and a 1.032 OPS. In that time, he's third in the NL in both home runs and RBIs, 11th in OPS."
