yeah i think 6 starters and 2 closers is ok

you can be selective on when you have your starters go

say if they are pitching against the yanks u might want to sit them for that start....

[dunkin deeznuts 655,464]

ps ryan braun is an animal....

and i highly underestimated Heyward's talent....

[lestat 139,017]

heyward... same guy who picked him up in my league, picked up mauer last season off waivers too... cant win no more... hoping for 2nd place to win back my $

just noticed... ur league got 6 OF postions??

imo... with just 2 closers, u're pretty much just giving up on the saves category... its hard to win when u give up categories... unless u #1 in all the others... even then it'll be tight...

[islandboi8204 56,539]

damn mauer off waivers? that's nuts. and yeah, idk what settings my friend chose when creating the league. i think i could pick up matt capps off waivers, but i've been eyeing brad penny or jonathan sanchez since happ will probably be DL'd. i'm far back in the k/bb and whip categories.

[jack napier 65,804]

got heyward of waivers in my pool

foolish cats...

also, dude who owned jiminez had him on the bench for the no-no. in my league, wins are worth 5 pts, and perfect games like 40. lolol.

[islandboi8204 56,539]

um dumb question, but do you guys start a hitter if they're matched up against one of your pitchers on a particular day?

[dunkin deeznuts 655,464]

I start my best hitters no matter what...doesnt matter to me if they are going against my pitchers...

I also sometimes start my pitchers when they are going against one another...hopefully both will pitch well and one will get the win, that didnt happen the other day when i had greinke vs. marcum though...both pitched well but neither got the win...

and if you need 1b, texas just called up Smoak, supposed to be pretty good.....

[islandboi8204 56,539]

just saw that move... too bad i've got a joey votto, adam dunn and billy butler log jam at first. dunn has been trash so far, and i really want to trade butler but no one wants him. :/

Kendry Morales hit a walk-off homerun and injured himself when he jumped on home plate. Fractured lower part of his leg/ankle.

Armando Galarraga's perfect game ruined by a bad call...

they gotta start allowing instant replays for those plays...

[chantheman 1,816,835]

but where do you stop. then every bang bang play will need to be replayed and games will be even longer. its a double edge sword. baseball is damned if they do and damned if they dont

[dunkin deeznuts 655,464]

do it like football

each team gets 1 or 2 challenge flags a game

9th inning, any close plays get reviewed

[Goldfish 684]

2 in one month deserves a WTF

How about 3? I'm counting it. Fuck Jim Joyce.

[chantheman 1,816,835]

strasburg was about as legit as it gets tonight

[notesee 34,538]

Missed the game, but just caught the highlights and some analysis. Third best debut in MLB history behind JR Richard in '71 for the Astros and Karl Spooner in '54 for the Dodgers, they both had 15K's.

[Goldfish 684]

strasburg was about as legit as it gets tonight

I think ESPN said that the last Nationals/Expos pitcher to win his MLB debut against the Pirates was Randy Johnson. Coincidence?

I hope this new guy for the Orioles doesn't show up tomorrow night against the Yankees, I got some decent cash on the Yankees to straight up win this game.

[smittybat 256,242]

braves lose despite kawakami

Another go round with KK tomorrow night. That guy has the worst luck this year. It will be interesting to see what happens when Jurrjens come off the DL since Medlen's been pitching great.

[e_train 21,095]

I hope yesterday is a sign of Jason Bay getting hot...

[evisu 2000 1,358,645]

is anyone watching what just happened in this dodgers game

haha

[dunkin deeznuts 655,464]

dick-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[icandunkonu 466,725]

papelbon blowing saves makes my penis hard

[lestat 139,017]

fuck aj and fuck wood... killing my era and whip

[smittybat 256,242]

I'm heading over to the stadium soon to see Hudson vs. Strasburg. See if Strasburg is the real deal...Hudson ain't so bad either. I predict a Braves win.

[evisu 2000 1,358,645]

garzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[dfaus 92,591]

I have Garza on my fantasy baseball team.

Forgot to set my lineup for this week.

FUCK
