first of all, i think 15 points a week seems like kind of a lot. secondly, there actually is a perfect way to determine who the better team is...it's total points. is that really so crazy? if team A scores more points than team B over the course of a season, team A is better. really couldn't be much clearer. and i don't really know what throwing out the 2 highest and 2 lowest weeks would prove. I agree 15 is a lot but 1.7 isn't and should not be enough to consider 1 team better than the other. yeah, it is. it's like the very definition of one team being better than the other. yes. because that team has more points. yes, it is quite true. again, by definition.
-
one more thing...while i like the h2h format, it's not really your players against his players. i can't control (and neither can my players) what my opponents' players do. that's why this different than real sports. if the cubs beat the cardinals 8 times out of 10 and they end up tied, then yeah, maybe the cubs should get it because the cardinals had their chance to face the cubs team vs. team and lost. it's not the same in fantasy sports. it's not my team's "fault" the other guy had a good week.

but then again, lots of stuff seems like common sense to me in this league and everyone thinks i'm a maniac. so either i'm insane or this board represents a tiny pocket of my own personal twilight zone.
-
If we went by who had the best team and scored the most overall points, I'd have a lot more than one championship. Downside of a head to head league. obviously. i have no problem with the h2h format, and i realize the playoffs are, like real sports, a bit of a crap shoot. my biggest gripe with the format is using h2h or, even worse, division record as a tie breaker. if two teams have the same record, the better team (the team with more points) should get in. the inferior team who happened to get lucky the two weeks the teams faced each other shouldn't get in just based on those two random weeks. seems like common sense to me.
-
and one of us is going to be left out despite being in the top 3 in the entire league in points.
-
i keep forgetting you're the guy that thinks every 27 year old having a good season at AAA would be a productive major leaguer.
-
You actually gained yesterday and have a 2 start advantage on me with two very risky starts left. Go Sox! yeah, i was not anticipating 30 pts out of lincecum after his 27 pitch, 3 bb first inning. ogando is almost a guarantee for negative points tonight...he doesn't have the benefit of facing pawtucket like wilson did on monday.
-
8 hr and a 1.58 era and i'm getting my ass kicked. fun.
-
gonna be hard to catch up when your pitchers don't give up any runs.
-
lol, so much for tough matchups. kershaw, wilson and beckett give up a combined ONE run to three of the best offenses in baseball. [expletive] sucking mother [expletive] ONE. i kinda expect stauffer to give up -4 runs tonight to the shitty giants.
-
i would also enjoy kershaw facing a holliday-less cardinal lineup due to a moth flying in holliday's ear last night.
-
losing two starts from kennedy because of a [expletive] earthquake would be a fitting end to my season.
-
I'm not thrilled about it due to the pitching matchups you'd have next week vs me and the fact that you've beaten me twice already this year. kershaw is going to score 6 million points next week. i should have pretty good matchups next week if i somehow win this week.
-
was not expecting a 30 point start by wilson against the red sox, that's for sure. not looking forward to kershaw's start tonight. i think my offense is better (hasn't shown it so far), especially with youk out, so it's going to have to make up some ground for me. can't believe i have the best offense in the league...doesn't seem like it's all that great.
-
not looking good for me. that unbalanced schedule looks like it's going to [expletive] me.
-
Is this really necessary? is this? calm down, wasn't trying to start a riot.
-
it all comes down to this. rollins to the DL apparently. where's brian to add like four more DL spots to the roster....
-
Jed Lowrie is going to have the week of his life. You've even got Vogelsong against Houston @ home. Depending on how Nolasco looks tomorrow, I may go with Ted Lilly in a home game instead of Nolasco against Philly. It's really a tough call. Hopefully Uggla hits a couple bombs off Dempster tonight to get things started off right. vogelsong, lincecum and kennedy (x2) have decent matchups. what a clusterf the rest of it is though...wolf v. cubs, dempster with 2 tough matchups, ogando v. boston. could bring up minor to face either the cubs or the mets. hanson and jj being hurt just torpedoed my season.
-
yeah, your pitching matchups are the only thing giving me hope. that and youkilis' injury. i have pretty good matchups with kennedy and lincecum, but the rest of them aren't so hot. kind of a mess actually.
-
and someone take brent morel off raw's team. he hasn't been minor league eligible for a long time.
-
so does tootie clinch a playoff spot? if so, he owes raw a BIG TIME [expletive] thank you. which is super [expletive] annoying.
-
yep, it is extremely difficult to combat a disaster start. lost close games the last 2 weeks, and i had a -22 start in one week and a -19 start in the other.
-
Whoa...says who that my team is not actively managed...I think I WILL beat RWD this week :) yes, i take that back and apologize. you managed your team like an undercover sniper. raw, on the other hand...
-
i don't really think this week matters that much to me (unless RWD or tootie get beat this week). win or lose, my matchup vs. RWD next week will determine who gets in between those 2 teams.
