Considering my team played the third hardest schedule with 3rd moist points against, I'm pretty proud of my child.
Tampa Bay, Cleveland and Colorado. That's a hell of a team. Pitching, major hitting...you gonna win this year imo.
I'm guessing that after lucking into the finals after sneaking into the playoffs as an under .500 6th seed, we will go back to 4 playoff teams next year?
That's man! I honestly got nervous on Saturday when you cut the lead down to like 30-40ish points... And that's funny @rpr52121 I don't think your wildcard run will affect this league's settings much. If anything it brings hope to those middle tier drafters. Nice work and buena suerte bro!!
Congrats, @FLASH21 ! And thanks for the reminder about my pre-season pick 1st place (Flash) picks: 8, 13, 25 2nd place (rpr) picks: 10, 11, 21 3rd place (Nippy): 4, 13, 26 Looks like you can win in any draft position (basically).. just don't completely whiff on your 1st pick like I did with the Giants! lol
Fuuuuck the Cubs. 1st pick in the entire draft and everyone on the team regressed except Rizzo and the closer. I played more Royals than Cubs in my everyday lineup. The only thing that saved me from last place were the Yanks, the surprise team. Congrats @FLASH21 People who play the entire year are gold. Even the commish quit, like he does every baseball league except 1.
To be fair, about the last third of the season, I realized how much the point values are skewed towards just having your pitchers start more games, especially towards outcomes that are sort of out of the pitcher's control in wins and saves. I think the same thing is true for power/home run hitters than BA/lead off hitters to a less a extent.
Congrats guys. Sorry for not being very involved this year, and I think I even missed setting my lineup for the playoff match. So terrible. Real life issues taking up too much time. Anyway, thanks to everyone for participating and I look forward to next year!
I'll do it if it happens again. I wonder if there are scoring tweaks that could improve it. I don't have a specific suggestion because I haven't spent time thinking, but maybe the group does.
I'm down to dominate again, only to fall short of winning it all. I guess I should draft the Braves at some point, haha!
