Making it "fantasy sports" instead of "fantasy baseball" means I'll boycott. Probably.

saturday morning: matchup now 9-9 as I fall behind in ERA, WHIP, k/BB, and tie in walks.
The weaver no-hitter is effectively nullified and I will be staying in last place unless Hellickson saves the day today.
I would post about my fantasy baseball team, but I feel this is the wrong thread....
I'm going against a guy with Max Scherzer and Jason effing Hammel today and I'm getting my ass kicked.
My team is 1/18 so far today. My lead in Avg/OBP completely gone. I also had Worley starting. :mad:
to start or sit Josh Johnson against HOU tomorrow? Thoughts?
I'm going to start him, but I don't feel good about it. If he gets rocked again it prolly will be welcome to dumpsville for him. Some guys just never turn it around ( Dunn from last year) no matter what their history is. At some point you have to move on especially in smaller leagues when there are better options on the waiver wire.
dropped Josh Johnson in the only league I had him.
Tonight I went against my better judgement and started David Price at Yankee Stadium. That didn't work out. I think I am done starting anyone against the Yankee, Tiger, or Ranger offenses - even the Verlanders, Prices, etc of the world.
premature. he wasn't bad last night and it's early.Quote:

David Price, career vs. Yankees: 5-2, 3.96 ERA, 86 innings, not amazing but a serviceable fantasy starter.
A day after starting Niemann against the Yanks, I think Colon vs Det. No problem... Oops!! But I believe only 1 run should be earned. One site has it as 1 but ESPN has it at 8ER. Im not sure on the rules there was an error. I'm hoping for a stat correction.
Looks like only 1 run should be unearned (Fielder, who reached on an error). MLB.com has it like that (8 R, 7 ER).Quote:

For Sunday I have Arroyo vs. Wash & Parker Vs. Det. I like the match up vs. Wash for Arroyo. This league uses k/BB and Arroyo has been decent. The Parker match-up is scary. After the Colon incident i'm nervous about an A's pitcher vs DET & he's facing Verlander, But I like having the option on a 4' o clock Sunday game in a h2h league. If I need him I can start him if not I can bench him.Quote:

I keep getting just awful trade offers in my H2H league. I think these guys think I'm dumb.
Unless Eric Wedge does something stupid, Hughes probably won't do to well against the Mariners. You'll probably get a win since Hector Noesi is pitching but I'm thinking the ERA, WHIP, ect will be bad.Quote:

Somehow no offense in any of my 3 leagues today, but decent steal numbers in all 3...rarity for me. Cuddyer with 2?!?
not starting Weaver against Texas: brilliant
im going to sit my aces (and all other starters) against Texas and NYY all year
And Kevin Millwood goes out and allows 1 run in 7 vs. the Yankees.Quote:

I hate super shallow leagues. 19 man roster and I need to activate Lance Berkman from the DL and I don't know who to drop.
Got Jesus Montero, McCann, Hosmer, Encarnacion, Zobrist, ARod, Bonafacio, Dee Gordon, Alex Gordon, Joyce, Victorino as my hitters and Cain, Bumgarner, Hellickson, Matt Moore, Axford and David Robertson as my pitchers. I'm leaning towards dropping either D. Gordon or Bonafacio but I guess the best thing to do is try and trade one of the catchers.
even if you trade a catcher for another player you want...you still have no spot to put berkman. try trading a catcher + SS for ONE player, then you have a spot for berkman
start dempster vs the cards?
the answer was: no
so glad I sat Hunter Pence today, 3-for-5 with 2 homers is no good for me, THANKS YAHOO MATCHUP RATINGS
I made the right call on Dempster before the result, thanks though, you clodQuote:

Anyone having troubles setting your lineups in Yahoo fantasy using Firefox? I can move players around but it won't let me save. When I hit the save button, it just hangs and nothing happens. Also I can't open the breaking news popup next to their names. But it all works on Chrome.
I was having this issue yesterday with ChromeQuote:

Prince Fielder- 1B
Edwin Encarnacion- 1B, 3B, DH
Ryan Zimmerman- 3B
David Ortiz- DH
Albert Pujols- 1B
Anyone have any advice on what to do? My OF is pretty weak (Beltran and Hunter aren't playing and Bonafacio just got hurt along with Cespedes being hurt). I had a small temptation to offer Pujols in order to acquire Josh Hamilton.
EDIT: Figured I'd add pictures of my team
Your team doesn't look too bad. If you could package pujols and Lahair for Hamilton I would do it in a heartbeat. That being said you already suffered through the worst with Pujols so I wouldn't take much of a discount on him. You could trade Fielder if you wanted for OF help as well. I think E5 is legit and wouldn't trade him because you'd get less return. Is Ibanez or Moreland available in FA. They could help your OF. McCarthy is hurt so I wouldn't waste a DL spot him. You could drop him.Quote:

Matt F'n Garza. And why the heck does Motte get charged with a blown save?
Because Motte allowed Guzman's hit that gave the Padres the lead. Even though it wasn't his runners, since the save was blown when he was pitching, he is charged with it. At least he got a win though.Quote:
