Re: Week 1

[shnsajax]

Shane, if you see this in time, you may want to get another pitcher in place of bedard for tomorrow since he's been pushed back to Tuesday. I'd hate to see something like that decide the great game we've got going on.

 

Thanks tim. It has been a great matchup, everyday has been tight. Hopefully cliff lee can find 2006 again today.

[BigbadB]

Since everyone loves to hear me talk, I'll take this opportunity to do just that.

 

Week 1: Lots of great matchups. Several games won't be decided until late today. Very cool.

 

Pitcher's Scoring: I like the new changes, Juan.

 

I really didn't plan on promoting Cueto this week, but Pedro's injury and RJ being pushed back a week pretty much forced it. But now that he's here, he's here to stay.

 

MLB needs to get their head out of their ass on scheduling. Global warming is real, but geez. Why on Earth is Arizona starting in Colorado? Why is Tampa in New York? I could go on and on with the stupid matchups in week #1, but I won't.

[abuck1220]

it seemed like every game that was effected by the weather would have been fine if they had just been playing at the visiting team's park.

 

also, as i mentioned in the japan games thread, will someone please do something about buddiga's scoring?

[Quakers]

Juan,

 

After careful consideration, I've come to the conclusion that we're being too restrictive on keepers. We should go back to the 1500 point limit after this offseason. :D

 

Agree. Consider it done.

Heck, let's make it around 1300-1400. I'll match up:

 

Pujols

ARod

J Upton

Hamilton

Hermida

Verlander

Gallardo

Hughes

Chamberlain

Parra

 

against what everyone else can keep at that point level! 8-)

 

Zambrano

Beckett

Buchholz

Blackburn

Jerrjens

Slowey

Votto

Kendrick

Reynolds

Maybin

[Chris]

This week gets the award for one of the more enjoyable matches I've been in. Beckett gets charged for 5 ER and this one is close.

No offense, but...I hope Z causes you to lose.

[Guest]

And shane gets screwed as both Bedard and Glavine get pushed out at the last minute. Looks like I should be able to cruise to the victory from here.

Definitely strong pitching, but I'd take the balance I have with offense & defense.

[tadowdaddy]

I'd like being able to keep this at the 1400 point level.

 

Hanley

Granderson

Halladay

Howard

Markakis

Gordon

Garza

Weaver

Papelbon

You are cruising. I need a no-hitter from Lee it looks like. On the bright side I did win $500 today and the Roadkill NCAA bracket challenge, so I can't complain.

[Quakers]

Howard still exempt?

I really don't think you'll fit Halladay, Howard, Granderson & Papelbon underneath a 1400 point limit.

Nope.

[abuck1220]

you guys keep winning imaginary championships four years from now, and i'll continue winning the championship for the current season.

 

anyway, i'm looking pretty solid for 2014. i've done mock drafts for the next six seasons, and i'm stacked.

[Quakers]

WTF ... I take a nap and wake up to find Beckett sucked... Lohse is out pitching Beckett and Zambrano??????

 

Arg......What is it with Cardinal pitching?

According to gamecenter, you didn't get Lee into the lineup in time for his points to count today.

Here's mine:

 

Weiters

Lee

Utley

Fuku

Billy Butler (hopefully he will gain some eligibility somewhere other than DH this season)

 

Bedard

DiceK

Kuroda

Owings ( who know might get moved to the infield ;-) )

Price

[Quakers]

Hopefully Soriano won't throw away points after a gem from Lohse

Don't worry...I'm pretty stacked for 2008, too.

You wouldn't get Lee, Utley & Bedard under 1400 points.

[Chris]

Soriano gets the save but it was ugly.

[Quakers]

A nice start to the season. This one is close. Furcal is still in action for you and Reynolds for me. :D

[Chris]

This is going to be a rough loss for one of us. Nothing like scoring the 4th highest for the week in a losing effort.

[BigbadB]

My bats aren't real lively, but with a 1400 point limit I could still have a nice staff to start the season with:

 

Brandon Webb

Matt Cain

James Shields

Johnny Cueto

Carlos Marmol

 

Matt Holliday

Stephen Drew

Geovany Soto

Jacoby Ellsbury

Andy LaRoche
