At the start of last year: wow, this year same as last year -- top 3 in almost every stat, bottom 3 in the pitcher rate stats― Neckbread (Will M.), Thursday, April 24, 2014 10:29 AM (1 year ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
Just so you all know that I am, if nothing else, consistent: first place in RBI, SLG, OBP, 2nd in XBH, top 4 in all other batting stats... and bottom half for all pitching cats except sv+hld.
HOW DO U PITCHER?
(also consistent with at least last year, and possibly the year before: my first-half lead followed by inexorable descent into high-mid table)

so, with Sano hitting really well i might not have room for Heyward (26) anymore. And with Lucroy stinking i might be interested in someone a year or two older than Jason (27/28). still not sure about this move, but if anyone is interested in swaying me, hit me up.

12 runs, 5 HR, and 12 RBI's yesterday (thx Gardner and Joey Bats) and I barely moved in the standings. Tough league.

p happy finishing 2nd tbh think if waino hadnt suffered his injury i coulda made a better run @ it
― johnny crunch, Monday, 5 October 2015 02:01 (eight years ago) link
Congrats Omar! this is championship #2?
having spent the fist half around 10/11th i'm pretty happy with a 4th (or possibly 3rd?!) place finish. i'm in a good spot for next year with Bryant Sano, Fernandez, Felix and other (maybe Quintana since i accidentally dropped Pineda).

Yep I won in '09 too! I thought for sure my team was sunk at one point, but I managed to plug some gaps and keep battling and you know it was a team effort, my hats off to the kids, they really played with a lot of heart and just knew how to win in the end.
― nomar, Monday, 5 October 2015 03:46 (eight years ago) link
btw I'm tentatively finished with fantasy, allowing myself the possibility to change my mind if my schedule gets better. So these guys I was debating on keeping may be out there for next season:

nooooooooooo..........

There's not a good time to do it, so may as well say I'm most likely out for bext season as well. It's lame but I got really into daily fantasy this year and although season long isn't as much work, it's too much to do both at the same time.
I have mookie, Addison Russell, Strasburg, Carlos Martinez, lance Lynn, and I think a couple other potential keepers.

well I may be back. the grind of 162 games really runs me down at age 40 but if Julio Franco can play real baseball at 48 I might have another season in me.

Congrats nomar! There were a lot of strong teams in the first half of the season but you crushed everyone in July and by mid-August there wasn't really any doubt about who would win.
It was a disappointing season for me, I had a good two month run where I was in the top three and even had a two day cup of coffee in first place, but it turned out that my offense was playing way over its head. I like my keeper options for next year though.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 12:24 (eight years ago) link
I think I've changed my mind on quitting already. I need at least one fantasy league to distract me.
I went into first place one day and I thought I'd be done bc there were several other scary rosters but cargo and ortiz kept hitting. pollock ended up being a great pick, I was going to use him as a reserve and he ended up the fourth best offensive player or something ridiculous like that.
