Week 20

of course if raw had used all seven of his starts this week, it wouldn't matter.

Especially considering that the start he had left on his bench was his second highest scoring start of the week.

 

I'm certainly not trying to cheat (not that you accused me of cheating), but naturally with a tight playoff race we're both going to try to interpret any gray areas in our favor. I always thought when a player went on a major league DL you could replace him with a free agent or a player on your minor league roster. Then, once Norris was promoted to my major league roster, I believe that makes him fair game for using as one of my 7 starts. Am I right? I don't know. Tim thinks I am, you think I'm not. Once Juan sees this discussion he'll have to rule, and if he rules against me he can adjust the scoring; I won't complain if that's the case. But it certainly makes more sense to set my lineup this way than to assume I can't use him, leave him out of my lineup, and then find out later when it's too late that I could have used him.

I've had three starting pitchers go on the DL in the past two days. One of them (Harang) is out for the year with an emergency appendectomy. And he's been pitching well lately. Ouch! :x

I thought for sure Hammel would get lit up. With a big lead at the point, I went into prevent mode and tried to stay away from a huge negative start like he had last time he was in my lineup.

If I also went into prevent mode and stuck with 6 starts instead of seeing if I could get by with promoting Norris I would have won. I'm sure Adam won't let me forget that.

So Bukie and I keep trading first place back and forth each week. The good news is that with two weeks left, I'll have it for the playoffs. :)

Oh, and it would be hilarious if Juan decides to remove the points for Norris. :)

I'd be happy for that to happen. If he rules that Norris wasn't eligible that should stand regardless of the direction of the adjustment.

 

Speaking of Juan, do you know if he's on vacation or something? He hasn't posted here for nearly two weeks.

boy, someone does not want to face the red hot hand sanitizers in the championship. i'm surprised to see the nine-time champion sweating a third place team in the other division so much.

Just be glad you faced me during my WORST week of the year.

[abuck1220]

thank you for showing mercy on me, oh mighty one.

i'm not one to beg for compliments, but come on you guys, that was a choice cosby show reference.

Cosby was one of my favorite shows when it was on. I now own the series on DVD and am currently watching the 5th season.

I don't see any basis for it. I see Adam's point about not using the minors as an extended bench but if a player if hurt, you are free to replace him and get up to seven starts. I see no basis for replacing Gregg in the lineup.

 

It would be far easier if people would IM me or email me with these questions. I have not been on vacation but I do have a four year old, a newborn, and a 60 hour a week job right now!

Sounds like you NEED a vacation, then.
