truffle what do you think the penalty should be for you having essentially a four man bench for most of the week and a five man bench on sunday? I'd like to hear a suggestion as to why you should just get to have extra players on your roster.
-
you're seriously bitching about this truffle? would you prefer I just take miller and Teheran off your roster? you just want to be able to shuffle two major leaguers onto your minor league roster all year? i think i'm just going to start sending hamels down between starts. maybe david wright on off days. since you claim to not know the rule (even though its actually clearly stated in the rules thread) at what point were you going to stop assuming miller/Teheran were eligible for your minor league roster? 2016? even more amazing than all this failing to follow the rules is this disbelief over being punished for breaking the rules. there are going to be wholesale rule changes next year or I'm done. Unfuckingreal that you're whining about this.
-
this is what was agreed upon, so truffle loses highest scoring SP for each day for the last two weeks or whatever, right? no [expletive] way i'm spending the time to figure all that out. i'll probably just do what GR suggested on the previous page. that will give me two straight wins from my opponent having a mess of a roster. just playing by the rules is like 80% of being successful in this disaster of a league.
-
obviously if the guy is actually in the minors, he can be in your minors. come on.
-
looks like truffle's roster was illegal every day last week with either teheran or miller (or both, lol) in his minor league system every day.
-
you guys figure the [expletive] out what i'm supposed to do about truffle's [expletive] storm of a roster since i played him last week. so sick of this league.
-
for [expletive]'s sake people. commissionering you dumbasses is EXHAUSTING.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-10-13

hold on now is ryan sweeney eligible? -
don't blame me, i've made it clear i want a lineup-alooza where you can do whatever the hell you want mid-week. it is clearly the best solution. you know how many arguments/debates/disagreements/exceptions we'd have if there were no mid-week lineup rules? zero. literally zero. sure tim would gain a slight advantage by swapping 18 guys in and out of his lineup every week to get 7 more at bats than his opponent, but who cares.
-
yeah that's fine.
-
yeah, you can't just bench someone mid-week because they suck.
-
"If he grows into nate mclouth that'd be great."
-
that's not as bad as salvador perez' 10 day mourning for his grandma.
-
yeah, it's a piece of [expletive] system from cbs + willful ignorance.
-
not that it matters since you can just play tulo there and machado at U. boy that sure worked out well for you.
-
geez. way to be on the honor system. tim, move machado from ss immediately.
-
adorable try though. gausman for braun looking like a steal for sneaky!

because we continue to have problems with people having too many players on their roster/bench, a rule needs to be implemented. taking away all points for an illegal roster is a little harsh. what i've done the last two weeks (to raw and brian) is to take away points scored by a SP during the time when the roster is illegal. of course, this will be an issue in the future if the illegal team didn't use any starts on the illegal day(s) or if the starts used that day were negative. here's what we're doing going forward: if you have too many players on your roster/bench, you will lose the highest of: a) any points scored by the highest scoring SP on your roster that day(s) b) any points scored by the "extra" guy who was illegally on your roster c) 5% of your points for the week (since having 20 players is essentially a 5% advantage over teams having 19 players)
-
usually i would just hand out justice swiftly and harshly with no concern for anyone else's opinions or feelings, but since this instance involves my matchup i figured i better check in with everyone. brian used 9 starts this week. i took away his two highest scoring starts (gomez' first start and gee's miracle in yankee stadium as it has come to be known). however, he had a 20 man roster on 5/27 and 5/28. that lyons guy from the cardinals was on his major league roster on monday (5/27) and tues (5/28). he dropped him on 5/28, possibly when he realized his roster was overstuffed. when raw did a similar thing in week 7, here is what i did... in this case, this would mean taking away leake's start from 5/27 (25.5 points). this would flip the outcome of our matchup. please weigh in with what you think should be done here.
-
that was obviously a perfect situation to bring villanueva in for his first relief appearance. let him handle the 6th and 7th, russell in the 8th.
-
i don't really care who got dumped between two crummy pitchers. the biggest issue was sveum's comical mismanaging of the bullpen last night. whether it was bowden or camp who took over for the guy who is by far the team's best reliever after one batter, it was a horrendous decision.
-
ok, here's what i'm going to do for raw's week 7. all the points he had taken away for an illegal roster were put back by the system. these points should not have been put back. he had four reserves from 5/15-5/17. for right now, i'm just going to take away strasburg's start since we know he got those points when he had four reserves. i do not feel like scrolling through 3 [expletive] days of box scores for all of his offensive players. so, i'll just take away strasburg's points and if raw's point total is a factor at the end of the season i guess i will take a couple hours out of my day to scroll through the box scores of all his hitters from 5/15-5/17 to figure out how many points he should lose. so, in conclusion...a) for the love of all that is holy, please pay attention to your rosters and b) raw, either make the playoffs or miss the playoffs without your point total being a tiebreaker.
-
i'll add your points back, but remember you used two starts on monday (cueto and corbin). thus, you cannot go over five starts the rest of the week. if you go over five starts this week, the highest start(s) will be removed.
