Maybe we could have a combined category for wins and QS.

 

Or maybe go to a 6x6 league and add both W and HR?

Are you opposed to the idea of a combined category?

Not at all. Does Yahoo have one for wins and quality starts? I’ve never been in a league with one…

[bkzwhitestrican]

I think it's too late to change categories. I drafted my team based on the categories that exist (as I'm sure other did), so to change now would be poor form.

I assumed they were talking about next year. I did the same thing…

[a700hitter]

I was discussing changing the categories next season.

People draft based on categories?

If wins is a category, then pitchers on the back end of good teams, like, say, Tony Gonsolin might be more valuable than an ace on a tanking team like Frankie Montas.

 

And with no HR category, I went a lot heavier on leadoff and #2 hitters thinking it would be better for OBP, R, TB and SB. I liked high OBP guys like Brandon Nimmo and Kyle Schwarber who are not as valuable in BA leagues…

My pitchers haven’t pitched but I do have stats counted. Why?

It looks like you had Means, McKenzie and McGee pitch.

I think there was a delay compadre. All good!

 

Your team is destroying me badly lol

Are you in an ESP(n) league?

Better to have a delay during the week than after they've finalized the stats at the end of the week.

Mmm ESPN league? Nope lol

Yeah! Totally.

Holy crap iortiz. 5 pitchers on IL and 6 players postponed!

Not looking good for me this week vs the Yankee fan…

[bkzwhitestrican]

Not looking good for me this week vs the Yankee fan…

 

It just reflects the reality of Yanks vs Sox this season

[bkzwhitestrican]

Also it's weird that I'm going up against the same team two weeks in a row. The schedule in general seems kinda odd, I play some teams 3 times this season and others only once.

[mvp 78]

My team usually starts off a little slow, but yuck...

Too many Boston bats?

It's taken awhile, but I've finally claimed my rightful spot in first place

You’re tied. And I own the tiebreaker.

 

You’re only listed first because it’s alphabetical. If I want to pass you up, all I need to do is put a “C” in front of my team name…

What's the tiebreaker? I assume you're Gashouse Gorillas, and we're 1-1 against each other. And if you go by the fabricated division record that it shows, mine is better than yours.

LOL!

 

This have been a tough season for my team. Hopefully I can improve it.

Not sure about this league, but head-to-head fantasy tie breakers usually go for the points within the matchups. (Of course, in many leagues that’s your “record” vs a player.)

 

If that’s the case, I’m up 12-8 on you. But I don’t think it will matter, since I don’t plan on being tied with you all year…

Still tied. If you don't plan on staying tied with me then you should lose a week

[a700hitter]

This is the worst season that I have had in this league. I should fire myself.
