  1. Yeah, I play franchise and DD. I am not enjoying moments this year, but I like that they tried something new.
  2. The old 21 for 1.
  3. I am not on the fire Pierce bandwagon, but he needs to be held accountable for this collapse. I can understand that our talent is young, and maybe not worth anything, but you cannot just 180 a season like this.
  4. I think only on the espn.com webpage, not via the app.
  5. Yep. We will be very streaky and there are some serious concerns. The starting staff has not been great. The pen has done a good job, but I expect plenty of blowups from them. Overall, the talent is just not great for our pitching group. A few guys who can shine, but will have many rough patches. The other issue is what do you do with our streaky hitters? We almost have to play Jose Martinez, but his glove is just not good. O’Neil cannot be kept at Memphis for too long. We are at a point where we need to define what we are looking for behind our pitchers. We have some good defensive guys, who lack with the bat. And we have other guys who are good within the bat, but form liabilities in the field. I do expect for Carp and Goldy to heat up soon, which will help a bit.
  6. I think some of it is just the struggle for roster composition. I am not sure that I have ever seen a trade offer that was not 2 for 1, 3 for 1 etc. As you stated, this is not directed at anyone in particular. I always find these type of trades hard to work with because it always ends up feeling like I am dropping people to make room for people that are comparable to the player(s) I am receiving. When that happens, it feels like a 1 for 1 trade where value can be lost. Not saying that is every trade, but a lot of offers end up that way in my opinion. I try to find a good counter, but I always run into blocks where I do not see a path forward. Also, there is the factor with needs based issues that prevent me from even entertaining multiple people on teams.
  7. Good showing for Miles last night.
  8. Nomaaa, is Hicks off the table? I just threw out that offer kicking tires but figured it would be a no.
  9. I need to go back through a few from yesterday to see if any counter offers can be worked out.
  10. For those with offers still out there, give me a bit to review. I need to figure out some corresponding moves before moving forward.
  11. OF and SP for sure.
  12. Altuve is running out of at-bats on my squad. Shoot me offers if interested.
  13. Luckily for me, my Cub fan friends have not said a word. I think they realize that neither team is great this year. Good, not great.
  14. We are simply leaving too many men on base right now. I like how the offense looks legit, but we need to push more guys across. Obviously, our pitching is still worrisome. I have to think back over 10 years to remember having little to no faith in our staff. I still think Ponce de Leon deserves to be in the mix. Huge series starting today.
  15. So, what does our recruiting look like? There is clearly little to no talent on the team right now, so is potential help on the way?
  16. Lulz
  17. I managed to go 3/34 yesterday. At least one was a homerun, I guess.

    Days Gone

    Anyone playing this? I am not sure why, but I keep almost pulling the trigger on buying this game. The feedback seems all over place, score wise, so I think that is what is holding me back.
  19. This team flat out sucks.
  20. Grass isn’t always greener?
  21. I’ll be damned.
  22. Is that the same Gentry that was a UT QB commit? Sorry if this has already been discussed. Something sounded familiar with him.
  23. I am lost. It could be the Vodka, but I do not think that is the reason.
  24. I think that they needed to move a bit faster with character, gun and map releases. Map release could just be changing a few things up. It sounds funny saying that since the game just came out, but the characters and their specialties are what separates the game from the rest. Honestly, I kind of grew tired of the bigger characters having higher hit boxes, and fixing me to play with just a few characters. That and some of the specialties and alts are just worthless.
  25. Derka, I threw out an offer expecting it to be a starting point, or not, whatevs. Does anybody need a 1B?
