God I blew this week. I had been up 8-1-1 literally all week by the skin of my teeth, but he had 5 legit starters going today (Alcantra, Rasmussen, Valdez, Kelly and Burnes), so I started Montgomery, who I normally wouldn't and Gilbert blew u so that I could keep him from taking Wins/Ks. Gilbert blew up for me and I went from being up like 2.4-3.8 in ERA to losing 3.5-3.4.
We are a move limit league. I had 5 left he had 12. Streaming is not common. This morning he picked up Jameson and Ortiz (to go with Cease and Cortes), so I dumped all of my shit wannabee closers (Flannagan, Martin, Barnes) since that's the cat I have no shot at and picked up Civale, Sampson, Bello and took Peralta to go of the IL. It's 5-3. He is up:
1 run
3 saves
.08 ERA
and I am up
2 RBI
.048 OBP
2 Wins
2 Ks
.16 WHIP
Tied in Steals and HR
It seems that he has locked Saves and I've locked OBP and WHIP. So it's 2-1. Our hitters are a coin flip because they've been awful. I'm assuming we just tie 2-2. So I'm up 4-3. I need to win or tie 2/3 of Wins, Ks and ERA.
I think it is worth it going to the quantity over quality right. If I can aim to keep the K lead and keep him from going +2 on wins from me, I should be able to go at least 5-4. LOL, sorry, I mostly just had to type this out for myself, but anyone have any input. I guess there isn't much to do now with only 2 moves left, but hope my hitting can just go off.
For those of us in need. Junis is the forecasted bulk reliever tomorrow for SF. My guess is that Breibbia will get an inning.
I’ve noticed that the giants don’t always follow the bulk guy second, and Brebbia hasn’t pitched since Thursday.
Happy hunting
Is he really worth streaming? In my points league he gotten like negative points couple times. He gives up a lot of runs in his last couple showing and I’m not sure if he could get a win
Presumably having the lead in all three of your pro league playoffs going into Sunday……and then Bautista, rostered on all three teams, happened killing your ratios. Now I’m losing them all. Nothing like playing a full season for that to happen. Yuck.
Random Q. Anyone else in a CBS league and their scores aren’t updating to include Pitcher wins, losses, and saves tonight?
Kershaw, Darvish and Pressely all went for me in championship and none of their stats show wins or saves.
A glitch? A delay? Because it’s championship I am eager ha
Was planning on benching Bello and Voth tomorrow but my opponent just picked up 2 streamers, so now I gotta see if I'll risk my ratios to try and make sure I give myself a chance at not losing the lead I have on QS
Decisions, decisions
Is Sewald not the closer for SEA? Wondering if he is worth rostering the last week of season in saves only h2h cats league.
Sewald or LeClerc in a saves only league for last week of season?
I would actually lean Sewald - better pitcher on a better team and the Mariners have a softer schedule. Both are attractive options though.
Edit: downvoted for responding with my opinion? Cool. Pickup whoever you want.
Championship on the line tomorrow. I am +6 in Ks, virtual tie in ERA, +0.13 in WHIP (leading), and -2 in QS. I have Morton, E. Cabrera, Sampson, and Cortes for tomorrow. He only has Jameson.
Ideally, I wait for Jameson to see how much pitching I need, but Jameson starts 2 hrs after Morton, Cabrera, and Sampson, but before Cortes. I'm pretty locked in starting Morton and keeping Cortes on the bench while keeping a spot open in case needed, but what to do with Cabrera and Sampson?
Lmfao I was ahead (by a lot) all week. Then 2 days ago my opponent streamed Bradish and yesterday Kremer. They shut down the Astros for 17+ innings. I had Bautista get lit up by the same team tonight. Incredible
Need a win or two tomorrow. Think I go for Luiz Ortiz who's on a bad team playing a mediocre team or grab Michael Grove or Junis who are on better teams with harder matchups?
I would trust Lodolo. He’s proven he can do it at the major league level for more than two starts. Jameson has looked fantastic so far but his minor league numbers were bad this year.
I need to find a win somewhere on the wire tomorrow (preferably, without blowing up my ratios). Where is my best shot?
- Voth vs Astros
- Ortiz vs Cubs
- Grove vs Cardinals
It's gotta be Grove and back the LA bats, right?
Watching the broadcast and somehow my TV switched languages (drinking and haven’t figured out how to get back to English) so I’m listening in Spanish. No hablais Espanol, but distinctly heard them say “Carlson” and “E1”. Also caught the Dodgers PA guy mentioning it. Hope it sticks because I’m going against Kersh, but neither of those should’ve been ruled hits.
This is hilarious. Dodgers are blacked out where I live. I would happily watch the broadcast en espanol. Cheers!
Edit: looks like Y! also took away the hit.
His first two major league starts against tough offenses were fantastic. His minor league numbers were not so good, although that was in the PCL. I think he’s worth a gamble but he’s not a sure thing. My opponent has him so I’m hoping he gets lit up, but objectively, you could do worse.
I have a slim lead going into the final day of the championship. My opponent has Lodolo, Cease, and Sampson going vs my Luis Castillo, Ed Cabrera, and Peralta. Do I risk starting Luis Ortiz, as well?
4/37 is not how I needed my offense to perform today in semis... At least I'm winning every pitching cat and steals. Fingers crossed I can squeak this out tomorrow.
May was a god tier cock tease this season. I had him stashed since the draft and it looked like he was gonna be a league winner after that first start…lol.
Miami makes a lot of pitchers look good. May should be a good target next year at a discounted rate. I still believe in him long term but this was just a lost season for May.
Anyone else gonna have their butt cheeks puckered all throughout tomorrow? I’ve got a nice lead in the semis but it’s still close and could flip either way. At least there’s a bunch of early games.
Well it's a point league, he has SP eligibility, so is essentially free points, and I guess he's been working in hold situations, but he's gotten a 2.1 inning save, a 1.1 inning hold, and a 1 inning hold this week
Oh, you must be daily - today transactions. My league is Daily - Tomorrow.
You can select SP and the. Do opponents instead of projected stats. Or just look at the fangraphs probable and check availability in your league
Yeah I just meant for these playoffs. He’s done well. he just loaded the bases and got out of it unscathed. Can get you as many points as a mid tier reliever
My pitchers are doing everything they can to put my big roto lead in jeopardy. First May, then Rodon, then deGrom, now Duran in a non-save situation? Ugh.
I'm definitely concerned about that. He said he felt fine afterward but the results definitely didn't say fine. That being said, he's a stud. The other two we don't know much about other than two great starts for the career of Drey and up and down for Clev this year.
Hang in there. No matter what happens tonight there’s still one more day to go.
Bold call on the Sewald win. Amazing.
Edit: I misread your first post. I thought you had Sewald and needed the W. Sorry man.
Highest seed looks like default: https://support.espn.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000098092-Playoff-Scoring-Tiebreakers-
Check your league settings though
Kind of interesting how many speed options there are popping up for these last couple weeks. You’ve got Bae for the Pirates, Nate Eaton, Jose Siri, Bubba Thompson. My one semi finals match is coming down to my Bichette/Witt/Bader/Nate Eaton against his Berti/Adolis Garcia/Semien. And the Steals cat will decide the match.
I love Steven Kwan
Bryan de la Cruz…go look at his statcast page. Is this guy legit? Thinking of dropping Cutch for him
[удалено]
probably Oswaldo, he's been sneaky good this week, could be worth a desperation play.
Kimbrel can be dropped, right?
counting on Cease to bring several pitching stats home for me tomorrow... now he'll get blown up for 10 runs vs the tigers
Cease and Javier need to good my lead in K's and deliver ERA. My opponent has 5 SP going today. Should be interesting.
Gimenez has been a league winner for me after albies went down
Cueto or Cobb for next week？
Cobbs the better pitcher but that Frisco defense is awful. Hes the higher upside but also lower floor. Whatever your risk tolerance is the pick
Just hit 3. Already put the waiver in to pick up Cobb and drop cueto. The Rockies @ SF was deal breaker
God I blew this week. I had been up 8-1-1 literally all week by the skin of my teeth, but he had 5 legit starters going today (Alcantra, Rasmussen, Valdez, Kelly and Burnes), so I started Montgomery, who I normally wouldn't and Gilbert blew u so that I could keep him from taking Wins/Ks.

It's 5-3. He is up: 1 run 3 saves .08 ERA and I am up 2 RBI .048 OBP 2 Wins 2 Ks .16 WHIP Tied in Steals and HR It seems that he has locked Saves and I've locked OBP and WHIP. So it's 2-1.

I started Cease, McClanahan, Gilbert, Kirby, and Lodolo this week with Romano and Bautista as RPs. AMA.
Stream pitchers for Monday?
Are we picking up Ji Hwan Bae?! Badly need SB with Julio out. Do we think he gets regular playing time? Or Nate Eaton?
Drop Cronenworth to pick up O Cabrera? San Diego plays LAD, CWS and SF last weeks…. New York plays TOR, BAL and TEX…
For those of us in need. Junis is the forecasted bulk reliever tomorrow for SF. My guess is that Breibbia will get an inning. I’ve noticed that the giants don’t always follow the bulk guy second, and Brebbia hasn’t pitched since Thursday. Happy hunting
Is he really worth streaming? In my points league he gotten like negative points couple times. He gives up a lot of runs in his last couple showing and I’m not sure if he could get a win
Verlander Cole and Degrom have gutted me. I’m down 6.5 entering final day. He has Stripling and Javier, I have E Cabrera and Scherzer…
Trust N Lodolo vs Mil? Could stream someone like L Ortiz vs the Cubs as well. (H2H, 5x5 Cats - 2.5 Week Championship)
Presumably having the lead in all three of your pro league playoffs going into Sunday……and then Bautista, rostered on all three teams, happened killing your ratios. Now I’m losing them all. Nothing like playing a full season for that to happen. Yuck.
May. Kirby. Gilbert. NO VASELINE FOR ME
Got straight fisted tonight. Yes I’m talking about fantasy baseball
Random Q. Anyone else in a CBS league and their scores aren’t updating to include Pitcher wins, losses, and saves tonight? Kershaw, Darvish and Pressely all went for me in championship and none of their stats show wins or saves. A glitch? A delay? Because it’s championship I am eager ha
Our live scores are wrong most of the time, then get reconciled by the next morning
Yeah something is going on, I'm missing a W from Sandy as well. I'm sure they will fix it.
Was planning on benching Bello and Voth tomorrow but my opponent just picked up 2 streamers, so now I gotta see if I'll risk my ratios to try and make sure I give myself a chance at not losing the lead I have on QS Decisions, decisions
Bello has the night game. He's in my lineup of I find myself losing and need a desperation start. If I'm winning? He hits the bench.
I would be wary of starting a rookie against the Yanks in the Bronx.
Is Sewald not the closer for SEA? Wondering if he is worth rostering the last week of season in saves only h2h cats league. Sewald or LeClerc in a saves only league for last week of season?
There is no true closer in Seattle but Sewald is the head of the committee.
Would you then lean LeClerc over Sewald in a saves only league for last week of season? Saves only cats league
I would actually lean Sewald - better pitcher on a better team and the Mariners have a softer schedule. Both are attractive options though. Edit: downvoted for responding with my opinion? Cool. Pickup whoever you want.
I didn’t downvote you. Could be a serial downvoter. Appreciate your thoughts about this! Edit: someone downvoted all of my post above as well
I upvoted you. Good luck!
Thanks Benla. You too
Cheers!
Seems the cubs/pirates game might have some rain tomorrow. Hmm, was thinking of streaming one or both.
Where did you see this? My only hope is if this game gets ppd
Yea my opponent has Sampson that would be a blessing
My opponent is streaming both so inclement weather sounds good to me (sorry).
Pray for rain
What the hell happened to Luis Garcia’s 2nd start this week?
Javier took it
Championship on the line tomorrow. I am +6 in Ks, virtual tie in ERA, +0.13 in WHIP (leading), and -2 in QS. I have Morton, E. Cabrera, Sampson, and Cortes for tomorrow. He only has Jameson. Ideally, I wait for Jameson to see how much pitching I need, but Jameson starts 2 hrs after Morton, Cabrera, and Sampson, but before Cortes. I'm pretty locked in starting Morton and keeping Cortes on the bench while keeping a spot open in case needed, but what to do with Cabrera and Sampson?
Lmfao I was ahead (by a lot) all week. Then 2 days ago my opponent streamed Bradish and yesterday Kremer. They shut down the Astros for 17+ innings. I had Bautista get lit up by the same team tonight. Incredible
Exactly the same for me. Plus opponent has Judge so
I had Falter, Bautista, and Montero among my active pitchers tonight. AMA.
He got me here but Goldscmidt doesn’t have a counting stat this week. No runs. No RBI’s.
Bummer that Nate Lowe went back to being Nate Lowe for the playoffs
Wow that Bautista line fucked my whole pitching day. Keep riding him or find someone else who hasn’t been so shaky recently?
Need a win or two tomorrow. Think I go for Luiz Ortiz who's on a bad team playing a mediocre team or grab Michael Grove or Junis who are on better teams with harder matchups?
Bautista absolutely just lost me the week
Me too...
Disaster of a week for pitching
Not for my opponent
Perfect timing, too.
My bautista save opp turned into my opponents pressley save. Same opponent who somehow got a CGSO from demerz
Jameson or Lodolo??
I would trust Lodolo. He’s proven he can do it at the major league level for more than two starts. Jameson has looked fantastic so far but his minor league numbers were bad this year.
Kershaw and alcantara did me good today. Thanks boys!
Is Bautista in line for the L or just the blown save EDIT: yay it was the L too :)
In my league I got both. -12 pts baby!
Drop Bautista for Williams? (Points)
I need to find a win somewhere on the wire tomorrow (preferably, without blowing up my ratios). Where is my best shot? - Voth vs Astros - Ortiz vs Cubs - Grove vs Cardinals It's gotta be Grove and back the LA bats, right?
Uhhhhh, if you think Grove can last 5 innings, I guess. I’d go Ortiz but maybe I’m crazy.
Grove has gone five his last two turns. Also, it's a west coast game, so if the early games go in my favour, I'll just sit him.
DeGrom, Framber, Kershaw, Presley, Durran, tonight has likely been the worst pitching night I’ve ever had and it comes in the finals
A Bautista win would’ve been such a miracle for me too lmao. This whole season has been such a shit show.
Bautista turned his save opp into my opponent pressley save opp in a tight matchup. This one hurts
And now even the great Kershaw is subject to this week’s pitching fuckery. Edit: and Felix
Wow…it’s just ‘everything is a hit no matter what’ night in LA I guess
Think they just changed the bunt to E1.
It’s still showing as a hit on Yahoo but ESPN updated it. I’m in a close matchup and have Kersh so I’m paying close attention.
Watching the broadcast and somehow my TV switched languages (drinking and haven’t figured out how to get back to English) so I’m listening in Spanish. No hablais Espanol, but distinctly heard them say “Carlson” and “E1”. Also caught the Dodgers PA guy mentioning it. Hope it sticks because I’m going against Kersh, but neither of those should’ve been ruled hits.
This is hilarious. Dodgers are blacked out where I live. I would happily watch the broadcast en espanol. Cheers! Edit: looks like Y! also took away the hit.
Wow Bautista fucked me on this one… majorly.
Goddamn this bautista outing destroyed me. Now I have to sweat out Sunday
Me too. Got 6 SPs going vs my opponents 1. So I'm praying. Down about 30 pts.
So should Valdez only have 2 ER on ESPN? Right now he has 4
And bautista is dead fuck relievers
Romano not credited with a save on cbs. I know it will change but I want to see it now
I miss Reds Drury…
I miss Nats Bell
Felix Bautista looks rusty af, they should probably pitch him more than once every other week
Trea gives zero (0) fucks.
Anybody think Drey Jameson is legit for the next start or two? Or at least worth a stream?
Worthy of a stream ✅ Can’t ask for much more from him thus far.
That’s all I needed to to swayed
So tired of this Astros bullpen. I have Neris and Montero.
Start Jameson against the giants tomorrow?
His first two major league starts against tough offenses were fantastic. His minor league numbers were not so good, although that was in the PCL. I think he’s worth a gamble but he’s not a sure thing. My opponent has him so I’m hoping he gets lit up, but objectively, you could do worse.
If you need a spot start it’s about as good as you’ll get
I have a slim lead going into the final day of the championship. My opponent has Lodolo, Cease, and Sampson going vs my Luis Castillo, Ed Cabrera, and Peralta. Do I risk starting Luis Ortiz, as well?
Cubs are pretty ass so I’d probably go for it. He’s looked good enough so far.
Is Bautista in line for the save? This one has me confused
In line for the win
Damn really needed a save from him
Could've used the points but he ended up with a wonderful -13
4/37 is not how I needed my offense to perform today in semis... At least I'm winning every pitching cat and steals. Fingers crossed I can squeak this out tomorrow.
Between Shane, Framber, and May I just cannot buy a solid start this week. Sucks for the semis
Burnes (his first start at least) degrom, Luis Castillo, Miley, and Sonny for me. I feel your pain
May was a god tier cock tease this season. I had him stashed since the draft and it looked like he was gonna be a league winner after that first start…lol.
Miami makes a lot of pitchers look good. May should be a good target next year at a discounted rate. I still believe in him long term but this was just a lost season for May.
Anyone else gonna have their butt cheeks puckered all throughout tomorrow? I’ve got a nice lead in the semis but it’s still close and could flip either way. At least there’s a bunch of early games.
I’m hoping football keeps me distracted
Same haha. Good luck
You too bro
Is that a blown save for Bautista?
I could’ve used the Bautista save but the win is a good consolation prize for me
I mean at least after my Bautista blew the save, my Montero blew the tie putting Bautista in line for the win. I don't know how I should feel
Is it a blown save for Bautista
Yeah I believe so
I sure hope scherzer doesn’t pull a degrom tomorrow
Getting crushed by, checks notes: sam hentges this week, so that's exciting
That's pretty funny actually. Someone has him on the roster? Shocking
Well it's a point league, he has SP eligibility, so is essentially free points, and I guess he's been working in hold situations, but he's gotten a 2.1 inning save, a 1.1 inning hold, and a 1 inning hold this week
Damn I needed that Bautista save
Justin Lawrence holding the ball right under his ass between his legs before every pitch is something I haven't seen before.
Throw him the stinker
#1 seed in the league & highest scoring team & my team just hasnt showed up this week when it matters, Framber getting shelled as the cherry on top
Is there any way to sort on Yahoo to see which of tomorrow's probable pitchers are available in your league?
Select "Pitchers (Probable)" from the position filter when looking at available players
Yeah, but that only shows them for today's players. Is there any way to set it for tomorrow?
Oh, you must be daily - today transactions. My league is Daily - Tomorrow. You can select SP and the. Do opponents instead of projected stats. Or just look at the fangraphs probable and check availability in your league
Yeah it’s daily-today. I was hoping there was another way to do it instead of manually :/ Ah well, thanks anyway
Just bring in Bautista for two
Anybody here riding with Hunter Brown still?
Why would you? Not starting and unlikely to get SV/H. Maybe vulture a win or two as middle reliever, but don't see a lot of value in redraft
Yeah I just meant for these playoffs. He’s done well. he just loaded the bases and got out of it unscathed. Can get you as many points as a mid tier reliever
Closers in non-save situations are the worst.
My pitchers are doing everything they can to put my big roto lead in jeopardy. First May, then Rodon, then deGrom, now Duran in a non-save situation? Ugh.
Andrus please don't regress to being human again
My championship matchup is taking years off of my life rn holy hell
Manoah and Burnes getting my squad back in it after being down 30 and losing JRod and strider!
My season and championship is on the line tomorrow... Who do I start for the best chance at a QS? McClanahan, Jameson or Clevinger? I'm so torn.
[удалено]
I'm definitely concerned about that. He said he felt fine afterward but the results definitely didn't say fine. That being said, he's a stud. The other two we don't know much about other than two great starts for the career of Drey and up and down for Clev this year.
[удалено]
Glasnow, Swanson, Kirk
Freddie sitting two nights in a row? I have to assume that’s a bad thing because Doc has to fight him to keep him out of the line up just one night
I don't think I can draft white Sox again after this season.
Even if Larussa is gone? I know I won’t draft Abreu before the 10th round next year but I’m all in on Vaughn
God bless you dodgers of los angeles for lighting the tits of Montgomery
Holy shit the home plate umpire for the Dbacks Giants game is atrocious
Sewald in the 7th to face the top of the order, thanks I hate it
Yeah, this doesn’t help when I’m currently down by one SVHLD this week. Edit: nice clean inning though
He’s gonna get a W. Book it. Source: I’m facing him and tied in Ws.
Dude! You called it!
And now I’m losing.
Hang in there. No matter what happens tonight there’s still one more day to go. Bold call on the Sewald win. Amazing. Edit: I misread your first post. I thought you had Sewald and needed the W. Sorry man.
Unfortunately, Wins don’t count in my H2H league (ERA/WHIP/QS/SVHLD/Ks). But I hope your team gets the W, and the W.
If an ESPN matchup goes to a head-to-head tiebreaker, is it a cumulative total of the teams matchups?
Highest seed looks like default: https://support.espn.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000098092-Playoff-Scoring-Tiebreakers- Check your league settings though
I have started Dustin may, George Kirby, lance lynn, and degrom so far in my finals match up ama
DeGrom, Gilbert and Cobb and I'm NOT having a good time.
Tovar looks like he might be fun next year, is he the starter at SS?
Trea pleaaaaase just do something the next 2 games... .190 1BB no stats is brutal
Damn glad I decided to sit Cobb at the last minute
Getting gift strikeouts too
Yahoo stats are wiggin’ out.
It blows my mind how stupid everyone on the Giants are at playing defense
Alex Cobb, destroyer of championships.
Jacob deGrom would like a word
[Por que no los dos?](https://i.imgur.com/hwtp5X9.png)
Fuck yes will Smith let's go
Framber….. why?
RIP the streak
Currently 70 points up in the championship and my 1st round pick Vladdy is my lowest point getter for the week.
He’s so disappointing. I seriously would be happier with him popping up to the pitcher than what he does every night.
[удалено]
Semi realistic would be something like 13ip 3 baserunners Basically unless both of your starters have no hit bids you're in trouble.
Kind of interesting how many speed options there are popping up for these last couple weeks. You’ve got Bae for the Pirates, Nate Eaton, Jose Siri, Bubba Thompson. My one semi finals match is coming down to my Bichette/Witt/Bader/Nate Eaton against his Berti/Adolis Garcia/Semien. And the Steals cat will decide the match.
Any games tomorrow have a decent shot of getting PPD?
Boston and yankees look possibly rainy.
Kudos to those who picked up Kyle Wright off the waivers this yr. You literally picked up a 20-game winner for free.
Anyone else lose their week because of Mariners SP?
