Welp, Verlander redeemed himself by throwing a 14K no-hitter. Scored 47(!!) points. And I STILL won the Championship by more than 100. ?? 2-time defending champ now. My 3rd win in 4 year. The league has been around since 2013. 2013 - 5th 2014 - 1st 2015 - 9th (LAST!) 2016 - 1st 2017 - 4th 2018 - 1st 2019 - 1st Prize is only $150, but we also award $25 per MVP/CY Young. So I might get another $25 from Yelich or Freeman.

Yea, but I doubt Thomas will be there for me at #9 in this keeper league because I have the 9th pick AFTER an entire round of keepers. Hell, Thomas might even be a keeper. Whoever I get at #9 will probably be someone that goes around 15+ in most drafts, that's why I'm looking to do a custom mock where I can remove the keeper selections

Does anyone by chance pay for any of those premium mock draft websites? I have the #9 pick in my 12 team league, and I'm just trying to figure out who I should be looking at taking at #9 and #16 based on what keepers will be gone. We only do 1 keeper and everyone HAS to take a keeper. So some of the top 9 picks in a regular mock will obviously be taken ready. Any "custom mock draft" sites I've seen that let you add in keepers require a subscription. Anyone know of a free one or have a subscription that can run a mock for me?

Oh shit, I was wondering why he got removed after like 5 1/3 and not even close to 100 pitches. Phew!

Verlander only earned him 13 points. He averages 20+. And Archie Bradley has 3 straight games with a save. Today he had a 4 GS advantage today over my 1 GS, and he still only gained 10 points on me. Things are looking better and better by the day, especially since he currently has injuries to Ketel Marte, Benintendi, Pence, and Gregorious. Everything is coming up Milhouse!

Wait, is this a thing? He changed his swing when he got sent back down? I have been extremely busy with the new house and haven't been following the minors or this website as much as I normally do recently.

I'm in my Championship right now. It's 2 weeks long. We are on the 8th day and I currently have a 63 point lead. He's got a 1 start advantage assuming we both use our remaining transactions on streaming SPs. I'm feeling pretty good as long as my guys just hit their average PPG and I don't have any massive pitcher blow ups. What scares me is that he has 2 Verlander starts left this week. That could be 50+ points right there.

I bought Charlotte Knights playoff game tickets for September 4th. We are sitting 2nd row behind the Knight's dugout. I'm very excited to see Robert and Madrigal up close.

Just got my AirBNB for Ashville next weekend. Now I just need to get our place in Charlotte for the days leading up to it. Anyone know any areas specifically to avoid in Charlotte? I am tempted to just get a place right across from the ballpark. EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention I got tickets for the Knights first playoff game on September 4th. 2nd row behind the dugout. ?

#LoseForCrews? That's too damn easy.

Eduardo Escobar is my guess

Anyone have any good info on Asheville, NC and Charlotte, NC? The girlfriend and I will be going to Asheville for a wedding the first week of September. We're looking to get our AirBNBs right now. I'll be taking my car, so I'm also interested how parking is in those cities, as well as safe/fun areas to stay. I've read online that West Asheville is a pretty hip area where I'm sure my girlfriend will make me take 100 dumb photos in front of cute "Insta worthy" shit.

The MLB average is 3.92 Pit/PA. I am terrible with Baseball-Reference's website so I can't figure out how to see what Madrigal's Pit/PA was in AA and A+, but considering he's well below the MLB average and would be the lowest on the Sox, how does that make the statement that he swings at everything in the strikezone to be untrue?

The interesting thing about people putting Madrigal at lead off is that the guy swings at everything in the strike zone. He's not going to draw out long ABs. Not typically what you want from your lead off hitter. And Madrigal batting 2nd after Robert may actually force Madrigal to take a couple of pitches to let Robert try to steal a bag. And even if Madrigal goes down 0-2 in the count giving Robert a chance to steal, he's the guy who is going to strike out less than anyone else in baseball, so you can bet on him to at least advance Robert over to 3B if he does give him that chance to steal 2B.

1) Robert - Elite speed and XBH abilities 2) Madrigal - Elite contact skills to move Robert over when he leads off with either a 2B or a single/walk + SB. Basically the Pods/Iguchi tandem, if Pods could hit 30+ bombs a year and Iguchi had well above average speed.

Just bought 5 blinds from SelectBlinds.com. $660. Woof. But to be fair we have a giant living room window that we got a motorized smart lift for. That alone was about $400. We are definitely in about $10-12K on renovations for this new house that my girlfriend originally agreed was "move in ready". Apparently not.

I accept these results.

I probably would have started with "Hey, can you guys cut out the racist and anti-semetic shit around me?". And if they say no, then drop em. But before that, I would give them a chance to see how much they want to be your friend. The "r word" is nails on a chalkboard to me. My closest friends know that I have special needs family members, but for those who don't know or don't realize, I ignore it until unless it become excessive, then I just say "Hey, not trying to sound uptight, but I really can't stand the R word. I have family members with special needs and it just bugs me to hear it. Do you mind just using something else instead when you're around me?" And if they say no, or say yes but continue to do it, then I just distance myself from them.

I filled in "twat" before the page loaded.

How dare you steal my job!

"Making points" is being far too kind. But hey, at least he got to throw his "ball washer" insult in there.... ??

How does the money come out in this deal? Aren't the Hawks taking on more money after this swap?

Can someone help me understand how Victor Torres has signed, but also tweeted out this today....?? Is it possible that FutureSox and I are both following the wrong prep Puerto-Rican baseball player named Victor Torres?

Stiever, my darkhorse pick from the day he was drafted. Sheets, my darkhorse pick for 2019. ??
