Obviously, I could go on and on and on and on.

However , I'll keep it short and sweet. I'll keep it under 10 words.

Joe Ross. Of course I benched him this week.

You had enough healthy players you could leave one benched?

Yeah...me too. I picked up a couple of two start cheap streamers and after Oakland took Ross to the woodshed last week the thought of pitching against Baltimore gave me the willies....shows what I know!

I'll go even further. Between two crappy starts, rumors that Ross would be sent down, and having benches full of players on the DL, I cut Ross on two big teams (which decision obviously was responsible for his great start. You're welcome.).

If you told me you were going to do that, I would have left him IN!

I have to do more homework.
I thought Joe Ross was that guy from 'Car 54, Where Are You?'

Now you're just dating yourself.

(Actually, I wish it was the same guy, because then I never would have used up precious FAAB to roster him for one good and two crappy starts before dropping him.). Sigh.

My biggest frustrations this year were pitchers. I liked Greg Holland and grabbed him on a couple teams early, but then became inexplicably fascinated with other closers like Cam Bedrosian and his porcelain nards. Jose Berrios is the another regret. I owned him on practically every team last year. I try not to hold grudges, but he got smashed so badly last season, I assumed he was more than a year away from fantasy relevance so I don't own him at all this year. It's hard not wince as he turns in one gem after another. Pretty much the same thing with Luis Severino.

Understandable mistake. We are talking about Joe A. Ross, not Joe E. Ross (aka Patrolman Gunther Toody).



Ooooh....Oooh!

had kluber on bench for his first start back from the dl
had keuchel on bench for his first start back (in lineup for his last start that got dl'ed)
Needed a 2nd baseman to replace brad miller while on Dl (picked up Scooter gennett)
He has me a .194 batting average with his 36 at bats/ Whats this Brad miller is healthy again . I couldnt cut scooter fast enough. I drop him he hits 4 home runs and Brad miller goes back on the dl the same day .
it gets worse but I will stop there
