Anybody else got Scott Baker going against the Yankees tonight and are a little sick to your stomach about it? I keep hoping every year I grab him he turns into the #2 Pitcher I think he can be and then he goes out and throws BP for about 2 -3 starts until I put him on my bench. As soon as I put him on my bench he decides to turn into Cy Young... 2011 is your year Scotty!!!
My Emotional Roller Coaster looks like this with him...

I too have a man crush on Scott Baker. I have him going in 2 of 3 leagues. Prefer to use him at home and when not at AL East, but ....

I started him in both - Yanks bats are hot - so yes, I have the antacid ready. We drafted him - got take our lumps if they are coming : ) I liked his chances of getting a W going against Nova tonight, that's why I stuck with him.

I'm sitting Pavano vs Yanks, but I'm letting Liriano go.
I have nova tonight!

Baker can not even escape the 1st inning. An A-Bomb form ARod.

Damnit, I thought I had taken him out of my Super lineup. Right now I'm praying for a 2 hour rain delay so he gets pulled before he gives up 9 runs

Agree. He looked good after the first 2 innings.

So I feel reeaalll smart today, after sitting Pavano with expectations that he would get smacked around by the Yanks on Wed.
Instead, mother nature rains on his parade and they push him to Oakland and he pitches a gem.
Those stats would have been nice for my teams with ERAs over 6.00!!

Thats the world of fantasy baseball Atlas! I had Jason Vargas go against the lowly Indiana last night and he added over a point to my era in a league!
