Well, last week didn’t go so well. I mismanaged that Clayton Kershaw lineup decision when the since-dropped Carlos Villanueva’s poor pitching cost me two wins. If I fail to make the playoffs in that league by a close margin, I know I have that particular faux pas to thank for it….
I am a little disappointed about the White Sox and the Tigers being postponed since I have a few CWS — Quentin, Konerko, and today’s schedule starter — Johnny Danks. This got me thinking that fantasy owners are blindly allured by the premise that a “two start pitcher” in most cases, any “two start guy [...]
Happy Easter everyone!!! It’s been a very eventful week in Major League Baseball. First of all, many top tier pitchers have gotten off to terrible starts and/or injured — Cliff Lee, Brandon Webb, Cole Hamels, Roy Oswalt, CC Sabathia (rebounded with an excellent second start), etc. I am off to quite the inauspicious start myself. [...]
Yes, very sad indeed. I believe I have pretty good perspective usually, but I feel like a scumbag now for complaining about the bullpen blowing leads for my starting pitchers or that “my season’s over” after getting off to a slow start 4 days in! Obvious condolences to family and friends. At least he went [...]
Sad.
Talk about Lincecum going three innings….? How about our beloved Brandon Webb getting rocked in the opener…rocked thruout spring training….and now he has a “stiff shoulder” and will be evaluated today and tomorrow. God this sucks.
As a Webb owner I’m not accustomed to 6 runs in 4 innings. The sinker is high and his [...]
The Giants insist there’s nothing wrong with him, but definitely alarming that they took him out so early when they rode him so hard down the stretch in his successful Cy Young campaign. Even though I don’t own Lincecum in any leagues, let’s hope that he’s not injured and that the Giants are merely utilizing [...]
I know it’s Opening Day for SF, but he couldn’t get through 5 in a 4-3 game? He only threw 78 pitches? I am not watching the game, so I wonder if he’s hurt?
Yesterday was a bit underwhelming since two games got postponed because of bad weather. However, the five month wait for baseball to begin is finally over. Lots of good starting pitchers got bombed. Brandon Webb got smacked around for one and now has a “stiff shoulder” to go along with yesterday’s disappointing performance. While no [...]
I had a couple of drafts over the weekend. I want to recap them over the next couple of days, my strategy, and thought process, etc. I think I did quite well in both of the leagues, so I am pretty confident. I nabbed most of the players I wanted, sleepers, value picks, etc. Both [...]
