Pains me to trade Melancon, as he's a Pirate and going to start getting a lot more points and saves as the Pirates bats have finally come around, but I really need SP and when Smyly comes back and is healthy is a solid addition to my team. I also loved having JD but I have a surplus of OF'er's that I needed to do something with

Pence with another home run
Teixeira with another 2 run homer and a 2 run double
So glad I traded CarGo for Pence :flex:

Loving my Mets 1-2 punch with Harvey and DeGrom

degrom goes 7.1 innings 9ks and mets blow a 3-0 lead in 4 pitches

I'll be waiting if you ever decided to trade one of them.

[QUOTE=7jacfire;9280332]I'll be waiting if you ever decided to trade one of them.[/QUOTE]

With both of them being 26 I highly doubt I move either one of them unless I'm trading up.

I need at least 50 points from Price and Kershaw tonight.

It would be sweet if I could build a huge lead against SMTG early, because he could come back at any time.

Reds win Reds win!!!!

Familia lookin like a boss. Sucks it's not a save opportunity.

I'm being an a$$ in that prospect rush thread haha. But if I got money in a product I'll let them know what's good

Kershaw going to throw a perfect game or a no-no tonight. You know where I feel it

-16 from Robertson tonight while only recording 1 out will definitely help you

[QUOTE=SaveMeTheGum;9280937]-16 from Robertson tonight while only recording 1 out will definitely help you[/QUOTE]

I told you that you should've traded him to me. :devil:

But seriously, that sucks. I'd much rather have him get the save and get you 10 points than to blow the game and lose points to make me win by more. Real life games are way more important.

Big trade just went down

Smokin Aces and South side have crazy good pitching staffs

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn

My OF is going to be pretty solid for the future:

Starling Marte
Andrew McCutchen
Lorenzo Cain
Wil Myers

[QUOTE=Firerunner4;9281164]Big trade just went down[/QUOTE]

Finally able to make this happen. After about 20 different tries!

17 points from Kyle Seager tonight, 2 HR's and 6 RBI's.... boooom

[QUOTE=enbambam6986;9281201]Smokin Aces and South side have crazy good pitching staffs[/QUOTE]

You're not kidding.

I have Kershaw/Price/Sale/Syndergaard/Rodon.
He has Hernandez/Bumgarner/Cueto/Fernandez/Pineda.

That's going to be a hell of a pitching duel for a long time.

My staff needs to bring the thunder tonight. I've got a big hole to dig out of.

Thanks Colby Lewis!

Sick pitching duel happening in Tampa Bay right now. Come on M's -- Felix only needs one run!

Damn it SMTG, you're catching up.

[QUOTE=SaveMeTheGum;9283391]Sick pitching duel happening in Tampa Bay right now. Come on M's -- Felix only needs one run![/QUOTE]

34 from Archer + more!

Duda is a beast. SAF has left like 30 points on his bench from Duda alone

Syndergaard got his first HR already

Damn. I only have Scherzer, Scherzer, and Scherzer because everyone else sucks.

Also, I'm willing to trade any of my starting pitchers except Scherzer for a top of the rotation guy.

[QUOTE=sam11;9283445]34 from Archer + more![/QUOTE]

Tough break -- they should have left Archer in. He was only at 95 pitches... Good for me though!

Ouch... 2 days, 2 blown saves for Roberston on Donaldson HR's. Fair to say he owns him.

Thank you Cruz! Started out -2 and after that moon shot he's given me +6!

[QUOTE=death2redemptions;9283642]Thank you Cruz! Started out -2 and after that moon shot he's given me +6![/QUOTE]

That also gave King Felix the Win, and the complete game shutout! BOOM STICK!

[QUOTE=SaveMeTheGum;9283609]Tough break -- they should have left Archer in. He was only at 95 pitches... Good for me though![/QUOTE]

I know I was watching in class. I was disappointed. Oh well:confused:Can't complain about 34 points though

Josh Donaldson has been better than all 6 of my starters who pitched so far this week combined. My team is basically surviving on hitting at this point.

I'm a little bit nervous at how I'll compete with some of the other SP staffs out there in the future. I have Sonny Gray who will be a stud, but after that it's more murky. Both Colin McHugh and Trevor Bauer have shown they have the stuff to be aces, but both have concerns (McHugh started amazingly well but now has fallen back to earth again, and Bauer started with 3 straight 20+ wins, then had 3 straight games of less than 10 points including 2 negative nights, and now he's back to 3 straight 20+ point games). Yordano is a good pitcher too, but super inconsistent this year and we know he's a head case. I know Phil Hughes can pitch better than he is, but the start of this year worries me. I haven't yet decided if I plan to use keeper slots on anyone other than those 5 yet (not entirely sure about Yordano yet too).

My longish term projected rotation:

Sonny Gray
Colin McHugh
Trevor Bauer
Phil Hughes
Yordano Ventura (?)

Beyond that, I'm not really sure. It would help my rotation a lot if Tanner Roark works his way back into the starting rotation, be it with the Nats or another team. I'm also hoping Dylan Bundy can make a significant impact in the MLB in the future too

Also, the Twins are in first place!!!

I am putting Edwin Encarnacion on the trade block if anyone is interested. Feel free to send an offer for him. I'd like another 1st baseman in return for him.

Colby Lewis helping me out with -25 for Highroller. Hughes with a win, but only 14 points. Still, it looks like he might be putting things back together finally, so I'll take it

Still open to trading Nick Gordon if anyone is interested in a top SS in the future

Miggy might be on the move...again

Speaking of McHugh coming back down to earth... Currently has 4.1 IP, 7 H and 4, ER, sitting at just 1 point so far tonight

Very excited about tonight's Angels game as I have Garrett Richards on the mound and my current opponent Firerunner will have Cashner on the mound. This could be a very significant game of our series.

McHugh somehow got up to 6 points on the night before exiting the game, and now the Astros have tied the game so he'll no longer be liable for a loss- Nice!

Poor Cashner, he lost his last 5 starts........the Padres have scored 5 runs for him in those starts....COMBINED. The dude has terrible luck. Not expecting tonight to be any different for him :mad:

Made another big trade offer to Homerun. Every time I say I'm going to stop making offers, my pitchers make me want to get rid of them and make even more trades.

Another hr for harper

Brad Boxberger killing me the last two days

Joakim Soria was easily my best pickup of the year. Currently the top fantasy RP with 15 saves and a few wins

Well we've got a tied game 1-1.

There are your runs Firerunner!

Mets are going to a 6 man rotation. No more double starts :(

[QUOTE=death2redemptions;9285793]Well we've got a tied game 1-1.[/QUOTE]

Garrett's given up 5, only 3 earned though and Cash has given up 3, pretty even outing by both!

Yeah but the +5 you will get for the win and the -5 I will get for a loss will really give you the edge. You won this round :)

Will Venable just made an INSANE superman catch in center field

Im just hoping the Padres bullpen can hold it, they haven't been that good so far :(

Built a 60 point lead after 4 days of the matchup, both of us have used 4 starts. Feeling good so far!

SMTG got 160 points yesterday but is only winning by 26.

This is going to be a really close matchup. I can feel it.

After putting up a total of 33 points the first 2 days, I put up 160 yesterday! Probably won't see that ever again. Went from 85 down to 26 up.

After the first few days I've got a 58 point lead but I've blown bigger leads before so I'm far from safe. Also Firerunner has a pitcher going today and I do not.

160 points!?! I've only put up 100 points a few times and never over 120. Those are crazy high points.

You must be loving the White Sox points so far. This is going to come down to Sunday night! Could be a postseason preview!

Even my negative points are due to Sale...

Brad Ziegler -12

Pitchers are really hurting me this week

Chris Sale. Holy crap.

7.2 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 12 K and 31 points so far (he could get up to 36 if the Sox win).

That's the type of performance that I was willing to trade Gray + Samardzija for.

Way to go, Chris! :)

Too bad for you they didn't keep him in the entire game...a CG shutout gets you 10 extra points.

... And 5 of those K's were my guys, so that's like 5 bonus points.

.... and and Robertson wasn't available for the save because he threw up on himself two games in a row

What a boring fantasy day. I have 6 possible players in action- 4 batters and 2 RPs
