2021 TalkSox Fantasy Baseball League-Mike Grace Memorial League

[mvp 78]

I'm not gonna lie. I lost some interest in baseball last year due to pandemic and other things happening in life during it, and I was incredibly lost in the later rounds. I plan on being active in the league obviously, especially on waivers, but my friend was hating on my team saying all my picks were reaches. I think only picks he liked value wise were Andrew Vaughn and Gary Sanchez lol.

 

Its also really hard to tell who was actually declining last year, who had a bad season due to covid/injuries and who had fluke seasons... but I guess that'll be sorted out soon.

 

100%.

How was that set up? I would have jumped on if I had known.

 

If you were drafting on a laptop or desktop, there was a video chat tab on the bottom left corner of the screen. It also popped up on screen automatically for me when I joined. Maybe by time you joined, a700 had already closed it down

I was just drafting on the app on my phone. If I had known about the video chat, I would have probably grabbed the laptop. Would have made the 2 hours go by faster.

If you're interested to know who the good players are this season, just take a look at my team

When is Soroka coming back?

When is Soroka coming back?

 

Around the beginning of May. Supposedly.

I was going to put him in my queue but couldn't find information quick enough about what the timetable would be.

Which team are you?

It took me way too long to figure out how to switch my timezone in yahoo from PST to EST.

Care to enlighten the rest of us?

Are you stuck on LA time too?

[Thunder]

Are you stuck on LA time too?

 

No, I just asked to be an annoying little twerp.

 

Yes, I am stuck on PST, but only on my laptop. The time in the app on my phone is correct. Throws me off all the time, since they are different

I’ll check tomorrow when I’m on my work laptop.

I figured it out. Feel like an idiot

I couldn't play Nelson Cruz all weekend because he was in a NL park. Today he's finally in the starting lineup at Detroit. 2nd AB he hits a grand slam. Woah Nelly

Well, my #1 pick hasn't even played in a game yet due to no fault of his own.

Who'd you take, Soto?

 

Kyle Schwarber has been sitting on my bench for a week.

Kyle Schwarber has been sitting on my bench for a week.

 

Yup, so I had to dump a pitcher to grab a bench bat (Dahl). I'm sure Dahl will be on the IL in the next few weeks, so I'll just replace him with a pitcher then.

Kyle Schwarber has been sitting on my bench for a week.

 

Schwarber is now on COVID IL with Josh Bell, Lester and other Nationals.

I have Yan Gomes as my backup catcher. I wouldn't have been starting Schwarber so I'm not even going to bother picking up 2 extra players.

Depending on how long the Sox and Twins are sidelined here, iortiz got really lucky. Facing me without Cruz and Vazquez available, two of my hottest hitters thus far.

I defended the honor of Sox fans by easily taking down one of the Yankee fans in the first week.

The result of my matchup shouldn't surprise you either. I believe I can still count the number of losses I have taken in this league on two hands. Not sure on that math though

Like the actual Red Sox, your team will fall down to earth soon enough

If only walks were a stat we measured. My team would be a modern Kevin Youkilis - the Greek god of walks. I count 12 so far today issued to my players

We have on base percentage as a stat, so it counts somewhat.

[Thunder]

My offense is slumping so bad that Nick Solak was my top performer last week
