I don't think you know what "choke" means.

yes, i'll do it some time today.

hopefully this will eliminate a lot of the disputes and arguments that have been going on. given how this season has gone, however, i'm sure a few things will still come up. and the bottom line is this...if you break the rules (knowingly or unknowingly), points will be docked...especially if you gain an advantage over your opponent (which you almost always will). and frankly a lot of the time that means the result will be a loss. and that's how it should be. it's not a judgment on you as a human being or an accusation that you are engaging in an elaborate cheating scheme. it's just how it works. you don't get out of a speeding ticket if you didn't realize you were speeding. if you want to play in a league where you get to have an advantage over your opponent, you're free to leave and try and find a league with rules that specifically state that you, and only you, get to have an extra bench spot/extra DL spot/25 free points a week. it boggles my mind that anyone would legitimately gripe about getting dealt a loss in a week where they had an undeniable illegal advantage over their opponent. so anyway, sub your little hearts out. guy is cold? bench him. guy's team has a day off? bench him. don't like your hitter's chances against a given starting pithcer? bench him. guy is black and you're a racist? hey bench that guy too. go nuts.

plan accordingly

effective immediately. sick of the arguments.

enough of this [expletive]. you can't bench a RP mid week because he loses his closer job. that doesn't mean a) it's a good rule or that b) it's been etched in a stone tablet and ratified on a mountaintop by the league elders. that also doesnt mean the "benching" exception for hitters is a good rule. but it is, indisputably, the rule. it won't be for long because this is getting changed to a daily league. otherwise I'm going to end up murdering all of you. participating in this league is just brutal right now.

so me not allowing you to have a two man roster advantage over your opponent is "abuse."

quit being a baby and tell me how you think your scoring for last week should be handled. i want to hear your opinion on what should be done.

and to answer your question, yes you are going to lose. OF [expletive] COURSE YOU ARE. is this a serious question? should your opponent have to lose because you had a 21 man roster?? I'm just gonna pick up the ten best available free agents and stuff them on my minor league roster. then I'm gonna pick up a few more and put them on the DL. and then be like "WHAT I'M GONNA LOSE THIS WEEK THAT'S NOT FAIR." and ps you had TWO starters illegally on your minor league roster.

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.

no

more rare than a 4 hr game.

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.
