i’m not too disappointed in this lineup. would rather see flew in the 2-hole with pablo hitting sixth and ochoa seventh, but it’s definitely something.

by cornball on Aug 20, 2008 6:25 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I actually don’t have serious complaints about this lineup. I mean, Ochoa as a #2 hitter is kind of sad, but there aren’t a lot of options there, and Molina was off yesterday, so I can’t complain about him playing all the damn time. So, yeah.

Fantasy BB

do you play multiple pitchers each day? I don’t get how this thing works.

by bondslegend on Aug 20, 2008 7:14 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

in a regular, run of the mill league, you have several spots for pitchers – by default, 2 SP slots, 2 RP slots, and 3 generic P slots, where you can put in relievers or starters. Any pitchers who are in those slots on a given day count – a pitcher in a bench spot doesn’t. That way you don’t get screwed if four of your starting pitchers are all throwing on the same day.

by jcb9 on Aug 20, 2008 7:15 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Ahhh I see

thanks for that. I just got into fantasy last year, but only football. BB seems like too much work

Semi-OT: Omar

I was watching the the Angels/Rays game earlier and the announcers mentioned that the Angels were in the market for a solid defensive SS. Then, much to my surprise, they mentioned Omar as their primary candidate. I’m sure there is no actual validity to this but it was at least worth a laugh so I thought I would share.

Can we just hire Kruk and Kuip as our manager?

They really can’t be any worse than Bochy. Or Alou. Or even Dusty. And for an added bonus I think they should still announce the games and we can hear them swear and grunt when the Giants fuck up. How could that not make for good ratings?

because then whenever there is a base open, we will pitch around a guy.
