Fantasy Baseball 2012 : Othor Games

Anyone spare a picther? Look at my team (try not to laugh) and see if anything interests you....thanks

I like Pence, but I'm stacked with 3 of the best pitchers and then it falls off dramatically. I don't have that middle guy to trade for him. :/

Well, here we go! (The real) Opening Day at last!

» Tue May 15, 2012 12:24 am

I can't wait for things to actually get rolling.

I tried to find a cool Opening Day video, but I couldn't. So, enjoy this instead!

That infographic has some lofty expectations there at the end. Chipper and Vlad the Impaler might hit 50 homeruns, and Tim Hudson could win 19 games? :laugh:

I don't think they mean it's going to happen, just that they're close. But yeah...it ain't happening.

They implied. :tongue:

I also just remembered you beat me in the first round, and went on to win the championship. I hate you.

» Tue May 15, 2012 12:15 am

Yea. I would like to see Halladay get 200 wins though.

» Tue May 15, 2012 9:40 am

Ah, so excited. Opener in 40 minutes baby!

I'm happy with the way my roster came out (after a few free-agent additions). There are only 6 of us in the league, so we all have All-Star teams either way :tongue:

. I wish I had another closer, but I wasn't willing to give up either of my 100K relievers in favor of a 30 save guy who'd only get 50 Ks. I've got Valverde, Walden, and Jansen, all of whom will get me saves, though the latter will probably only net me around 20.

Watching the Red Sox game, monitoring my fantasy team. This is awesome.

» Tue May 15, 2012 6:35 am

Roy Halladay, 8 IP, 0ER. :thumbsup:

(Dominates first start of season)

Valverde 1 IP, 2 ER :down:

(Blows first save of season)

Very happy with my pitching today, and as expected, my offense was completely underwhelming. :facepalm:

» Tue May 15, 2012 9:21 am

Watching the Dodgers-Padres... Through 3 innings I was cursing myself for not grabbing Volquez (who I really like this year) in the draft. After the fourth, I don't feel so bad.

» Tue May 15, 2012 5:40 am

Really liking what my staff gave me today. Hopefully I start getting some offense tomorrow and on into the weekend with everyone playing.

» Tue May 15, 2012 3:57 am

Pujols going to take his first swings as an Angel tonight!

» Tue May 15, 2012 7:51 am

Pujols going to take his first swings as an Angel tonight!

That turned out well!

I'm finally starting to get some offense. Keep rollin' Gauchos!

» Tue May 15, 2012 7:22 am

Me too, it's exciting not seeing so many 0's!

On top of that, my pitching staff is on fire. Lincecum unfortunately had a bad game last night, but I'm sure he'll turn that around, and if I keep putting up these numbers I'm going to be really happy.

Edit.

Yeah, my pitching is on fire. I didn't get to say that at all last year, it's a nice change.

Yoenis Cespedes :wub:

What a close match-up we have going Siv. We are tied at 5-5 and except for SBs (you) and HRs (me) every catagory is almost tied. I was pissed when I saw what happened to Scherzer today until I realized you had started Bucholz.

Can't wait for a full week without the silliness of 3 or 4 different "Opening Days"

You're killing me in HR, but I figure that's how it'll be all year for me. I just don't have a whole lot of power. Buchholz though, 7 ERs in 4 innings, horrible. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to find out how Arod stole a base. :eek:

Scherzer's era is over 23.

» Tue May 15, 2012 10:37 am

Scherzer's era is over 23.

I saw that, but I didn't check to see he had 7 ERs in 2.2 innings. :yuck:
