Everything does not look good now.



At the end of the night we had 94 points, now we have less.



Something appears to be off still. I'll ask STATS to look at your team John.

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: Greg - the twice-a-week hitter moves could have solved the thome issue. Maybe it wouldn't. But the point is that it would have been my decision to go with a banged up thome or a healthy player on my bench. Since you said 2 hitter moves a week isn't a possibility, o...

League standings look good now. Just waiting on overall to be re-run. Thanks for being on top of it, Greg. STATS says they should be done soon. Thanks for your patience today on this one.

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: Just 2 weeks ago I experienced almost the same exact situation as this, so I feel your pain. Let's be accurate here, GG. Two weeks ago your Jim Thome got hurt in a Monday night game, sat out several games and then got hurt on his first swing in a Friday night game....

STATS is rerunning the standings this morning. Obviously there was a glitch in the pitching results. They will be fixed shortly and standings will be rerun. Sorry for the glitch.

Originally posted by UFS: LOL... Wouldn't this be down Daily Moves again?? I'm not against any of this, it makes sense, but there would be some lineup moves that would occur based on the results of Monday, (like protecting a SP Win on MON by benching a guy like Padilla for a guy like Neshak), and th...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: Can someone explain the thinking behind having all lineups frozen 5 minutes before the first game of the week. For example, this week all lineups will be frozen at 12:30, even though only one game is being played this afternoon. In the NFFC, lineups are frozen for ...

Originally posted by mdz129: Perry, Does this mean he will be removed from NL rosters or kept on NL rosters but can't be activated only reserved? He will not be removed from NL rosters as each owner can decide whether to hold him or not. But it's unlikely that he will be traded to the NL at this poi...

You can not have an illegal lineup, thus we'll have to rescind this move and put your second catcher back on your team. STATS will see if anyone else had a bid on Doumit and we'll act accordingly. We'll take care of this right away.

Originally posted by mdz129: will the bids for langerhans be canceled, now that he's back in the NL? Yes, I've asked STATS to take Langerhans out of the AL. This is no different than a minor-leaguer getting called up during the week and then being sent back down before the FAAB deadline. We remove t...

Originally posted by mother: I accidentally chose the wrong guy I wanted to activate since Phil Hughes has gone on the DL, but the system won't seem to let me change it again. Any help? Correct. Once you make that lineup change you obviously can't replace a non-DL guy from your starting lineup with ...

Just an FYI that Philip Hughes is on the NFBC's DL list and can be moved out of your starting lineup this week. The red DL tag next to his name may not show up today, but if you try to make the move you will be cleared to do so. Sorry about the tough injury as he would have probably had two starts t...

Originally posted by Brilee's Brigade: Going back and looking at the message boards, I am correct. Butler was originally ( maybe in error) listed as a 3B in this league format. The posts from April 12th questioning this confirms it. IMO, even though it was in error, Butler should not have had 3B tak...

Originally posted by sportsbettingman: I feel like I've been kicked in the groin AGAIN due to my stupid drafting at this years main event. I can handle all the slumping...but how poorly I drafted closers makes me want to puke. I sooooo wish I could re-draft. If I weren't the competitor I am...I'd al...

Originally posted by Terry Haney: Greg, I lost interest in this thread when it regressed to talking about Seinfield episodes, but in your last post you mention "We're batting .500 with you on rule changes", so as I can avoid reading the entire thread could you explain what you mean by that? George s...

Originally posted by Brilee's Brigade: Greg, Good job my friend. Last night, prior to posting i did my homework to verify my thinking so i did not send any wrong info. I checked different leagues and saw in CHI 2 that PACO TYME had drafted Butler and he was a 3B. It looks like since then he has been...

Wow, do we have this now? Good news as I had sent on the request to STATS and didn't even know they finished this. I didn't log onto Live Scoring last night, so I'm glad to hear this. John, I'm happy for your Ducks, but REEEEAAAALLL sad about Hughes' injury last night. We needed him in AL LABR! :(

Originally posted by Brilee's Brigade: Not questioning what he should be or should not be. I am saying is that if someone in LV4 drafted him as a 3B because that is what he was listed at, then he would need to stay there. i.e. Round 25 you draft Butler and are told he is a 3B. You then dont concentr...

Originally posted by TheKing: It appears as though the NFBC scoring system has Cabrera giving up 5 ER last night. Mlb.com and other sites have him with only 4. Can someone look into this? From STATS: That was a correction that was made this morning already and will appear when scoring runs again ove...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: quote:Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: As for Thome, he got hurt in FRIDAY'S game. Even under your scenario, you couldn't have taken him out of last week's lineup. thome hasn't had an AB since April 23rd. he was hurt on MONDAY AFTER lineups were due. that's wha...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko: quote:Originally posted by Greg Ambrosius: there is no question in my mind that my customers would do fewer NFBC leagues and enjoy the experience less with more in-season roster management.
