  1. Right around now is when the draft should be happening... pro days are all done, so I don't see why a whole extra month needs to elapse. But no, instead it's several more weeks of talking heads repeating the same shit. And stupid disinformation campaigns.

    On second thought, maybe the extra time for overthinking/S2 shenanigans is why we landed Stroud...

  2. The only pick I ran out of time on was Machado in the third. I queued him as a backup but wanted to find a different position that was worth it because I already had Devers. Oh well, maybe it'll still work out... as long as the idiot doesn't do more damage to his leg failing to break a bat over it.
    Knucklehead homered as I was typing this lol

  4. I think the only way to avoid the Korea series stats from counting league-wide is to finish the draft on a different day:

    "Any league which finishes their draft after all of Week 1's action has completed will begin their season with 2024's second scoring period (Week 2), which runs from April 1-7." https://www.espn.com/fantasy/baseball/story/_/id/39435790/espn-fantasy-baseball-mlb-seoul-series-faq-2024

    But it's going to be near impossible to agree on a new draft time this late, so I say we just plow ahead.

  5. Is that not a good time for people?


    I'm good with that time, but was just remembering this:

    i just set a draft date and time but that’s not the real date/time, i’ll set that up once we’ve all agreed on a draft date.

    It's insane that a reigning (and two time!), healthy, and 31 year old Cy Young winner still isn't signed 10 days before opening day. I think a significant reason for it is the impact of analytics, which has Snell rarely pitch deep into the 3rd time through the lineup and also has teams prize the draft picks they would lose by signing a free agent like him. If I'm right, it's just the latest piece of evidence that MLBPA screwed up on the current collective bargaining agreement.

    Can surly lawyer mafia explain this? There's an incredibly small number of color trademarks (Texas burnt orange is actually one of them, along with Tiffany blue, UPS brown, and T-Mobile magenta) and I don't remember the Houston Oilers blue being on that list. And no actual consumer (football fan) is actually gonna confuse the Houston Texans with the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans when the teams hate each other and play against each other twice a year. Why can't we just tell the Titans to pound sand if they try to stop us from using a particular color? Is the NFL being overprotective?
  8. Feels like we're setting up to draft a WR somewhere in the first 4 rounds. It's an extremely deep class. I would literally just let CJ watch film and name the guys he would want and strategize from there. 
    Just bring them all in and let CJ throw to them. That's how the bromance with Tank started--at a pre-draft event where CJ was throwing to Tank.

  9. Was that a product of the pitch? England looked truly lost batting in that second innings.
    The pitch was not ideal for batting, but it wouldn't explain the extent of England's collapse. I think a lot of it also had to do with India's spin dominance and England's lack of experience playing in such conditions. It got away from England at the end of Day 2 when they couldn't make their dominant position count.

  10. The talk in here about Yordan batting leadoff is giving me flashbacks to all of the handwringing and hairpulling in here about Springer/Altuve batting leadoff. Yeah we maximize plate appearances, but every solo homer is another 50 message board posts about it.
