How tight are your Cutline leagues early on? Everyone still bunched together or has someone jumped way ahead or behind?

It's still 1-1 as I type this, but it looks like the Braves are all over Clayton Kershaw today. Who'd have thunk it?

Ha! 30 seconds later, a strikeout and a double play ball. Bases loaded, no outs, becomes no runs scored in the 2nd.

Surprise, surprise, surprise...so far (yes, only so far) through five IP, Wisler has out pitched Kershaw!

Kershaw, Scherzer, and Price all give up first inning runs....
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

As this first month continues, my Main Event pitching staff makes me sick:

Greinke
Wainwright
Odorizzi
S. Miller
Iwakuma
Medlen
Miley

Drafting out of the 13 hole, I had to either jump in with Scherzer or wait until the end the pitcher run. My options at 3.13 were Greinke, Archer, and Felix. Needless to say, not much has gone right after that either. It's so disheartening to be out of even league contention just 3 weeks into the season.

BTW, my top 3 SPs last year were Wainwright, Zimmerman and Samardzija. You can probably guess how I did last year too.

Matt Wisler's Mom has him in her lineup today.
Yes, even Wisler's Mother smiled.

And how long have you been waiting to use that one! :lol:

Kershaw waived around and thrown out at the plate!

Ouch. Two more baserunners (but no more runs) in the second off Odor-ezy. On my Auction League team. Paid $12 for the pleasure...

I know it's been well documented, but it's amazing how bad "Ace" pitchers have been. It seems like every year something early stands out, but I didn't see this coming at all.

It is within my authority to trade Jim Johnson to any other franchise...any offers? One-legged hot dog vendor? Stray dog? Milli Vanilli album? Obama "Yes We Can" poster? Anything? :evil:

Even worse is that Cody Anderson is in because I didn't trust DeGrom to get a start or Graveman in Yankees stadium :oops:

If it makes you feel any better I had Matz and Jungmann give up FIFTEEN earned in less than 3 innings last week (followed by Jungman being blown up again later in that same week. For the record, I don't believe it means you're out of the league contention already.

Maybe. Up to 76 pitches already.

Speaking on behalf of the citizens of the U.S., we'll do a one-for-one swap for either of these "players" ...

Alright, we'll do a two-for-one. Hello President Jim Johnson!
