NFBC Message Boards

Sorry, re-read my post, I kinda ran points 2-3 together. # 3 would be his effectiveness after the delivery change. He is possibly between a rock and a hard place. If he doesn't change his delivery his health/longevity is sorely in question. If he does change he risks ineffectiveness either thru comm...

I would break down Hanson's issues into 2 issues, both are obvious, but there's a third nobody is addressing and I will be momentarily.... 1)Health. Is the minor tear in his rotator cuff fixed, or at a minimum, pitch-all-season worthy? I saw Kerry Wood in person in the start in 98' right before he s...

It's set for today at 1245 pacific and it's full. I will do one tomorrow night at 7 eastern if anyone wants to join, I will call it "NFBC practice"

Beat this...a hitter worse than Adam Dunn right now. I've been watching baseball for 40 years, never seen anyone worse from at bat to at bat

To pile on to the other complaint/pissing and moaning topics, here goes...in the past week I have lost Kendricks Liriano Soriano Kubel Garza Venable Oh, and btw, on my two teams I have Pujols, Dunn, Nelson Cruz, Ubaldo, Danks, Neftali Feliz, Mauer, and Kung fu Panda. I have made good pickups(Eric Yo...

I have a main event team and a super team. My first round picks in those two leagues were Pujols and Votto. At this point combined they have not hit a home run in their last 144 at -bats.

Bring back the roids!

Wright and the Mets are getting a second opinion on his back as it's feared that he's suffered a stress fracture, Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com reports. Wright had been dealing with a neck/shoulder injury, but this absence comes completely out of the blue. Willie Harris starts Monday and the Mets wi...

I was at that game yesterday, Lyon was in the 86-88mph range. Out of the 6-8 mpitchers both teams ran out there yesterday, he clearly was the worst pitcher of both groups stuff-wise. Having said that, the hits the reds got weren't exactly cannon shots, Bruce is the only one that really hit the ball ...

After 5 NFBC seasons, I finally get to pick first after never picking higher than 9th! Yeeha! I decide to pair up Pujols with Adam Dunn, ostensibly giving me two of the most consistent hitters at what they do well in MLB history.OK, homers, check. RBI's, check. Runs, check. Average, well I can take ...

BTW, I was in Texas Stadium last week, saw him coming out of the women's bathroom

How bout' Nelson Cruz?

Pujols

Dunn

Ubaldo

Wells

Saito

That's one team.

The other?

Mauer

Morneau

Morgan

Feliz

Liriano skipping a start(what don't we know?)

Saito

Kuo

Fun, ain't it?

The best part is, not one player was injured going into the season on either team. Every day another player goes down

Did you watch him pitch the last start before everyone dropped him? I have never seen so many cock-high 2-1 fastballs. I picked him in the 25th+ round, and I just refuse to take another 3.2 inning, 11 hits, 8 earned-run start no matter what he does positive. the risk reward is too great. whoever get...

I agree with team z. I am sure there's an element of the "good old days" in listening to him, and I am sure he prepares like nobody else(that's clear in his in-depth observations), but I agree he never stops talking! I was watching the Dodgers the other night, there was never more than 5-7 seconds o...

oop, forgot Randy wells and maggs(no surprise there!)

I'm not happy about the three wins the white sux bullpen has lost for my starters...

i'm also not happy with my main event team

pujols

dunn

bruce :rolleyes:

ubaldo

last, but not least,

figgins

I would never condone what he and Barry and Mcgwire and how many other countless players have done re PEDS, but the other side of the coin is we are now fighting over frickin' Sam Fuld and Willie Bloomquist.... :rolleyes:

I've got Dunn, wells and ubaldo!

I had a list of potential backups of closers I didn't trust(fuentes was easy, Kuo, Bard etc) it got to the 27th-28th round and he wasthe one left standing. I also got kuo in one league and fuentes in the other. I can't remember a year where there are so many iffy closers, even the tops ones have som...

I've got Saito in both my leagues too early to gloat, but it wouldn't shock me if axford doesn't hold the job. Saito is reeeeeeeally old, though

At the risk of redundancy, Greg or Tom could you pls post only the rule changes from 2010 to 2011? would keep me from having to pick thru every rule just to find the differences. I think I get them, just want to be clear

thanks!

For my money, it's Marty Brenneman...My first memories of listening to baseball games on radio were of the big red machine in 1975 as a ten-year old. For all I knew he had been there for 20 years, little did I know he was only in his second year and I have had a lifetime of listening to him and Joe ...

How bout' the supers?

I am disappointed we are holding all this up for 6 people who havent signed up yet
