Anybody watching this CLE NYY game? I don't like that "in the area" rule. Bird clearly threw a bad ball and it should have been replayed/overturned.

A's foul territory kid laid out and stopped a ball from going into the bullpen. Entire bully dapped him up for it. Take your victories where you can get them.

Congrats on getting your Hamels win today. I was pulling for you.Hamels AL splits are pretty bad and he has laid an egg in two Rangers starts. Guessing he adjusts well and is a #2 fantasy pitcher going forward, but I'm a littleespecially after they announced he's getting bumped back.
Way too many shares in this guy in keeper leagues, I do not need him to suck. Wish the Cubs or Doyers would have landed him.

When I was dumb enough to play H2H, it was a 20 week regular season to avoid overlapping with the football season. So playoffs started week 21

All fantasy baseball is pretty dumb if you think about it.

H2H is stupid (esp b/c I always lose in the playoffs) but at least you don't have all but 2-3 teams who know they are sunk after like a couple months.
They don't want to interfere with the easier fantasy sport of football.playoffs already? thats dumb
there is still like 25% of the season left

4 weeks of playoffs and the league voted to end the season early so as not to interfere with football. I voted against it.playoffs already? thats dumb

H2H playoffs the last two weeks of the regular season in baseball is stupid. The teams out of it are playing their kids and the vets who had been battling through various ailments get shut down. The teams that have already clinched are resting their core players. Then there's the variable of if a team clinches mid-week. Do you start those guys on your team or not? Roster expansion will have an impact either way, but much less so earlier in the month.
H2H finals make the most sense mid September and I think a 2 week final is the way to go.

yep another reason we end it early. Just like in football nobody plays a week 17 championship game.

Frenchy claimed off revocable waivers, and the Phils pulled him back. Awesome.

Hitting .343/.357/.657 since the break and now also a cromulent arm out of the bullpen.
He's a vital piece in the next Phillies dynasty.

Phillies have only scored 20 fewer runs than the Cardinals. They're practically a first-place team.

I dropped Corey Dickerson in both my keeper leagues for Charlie Blackmon last year.
I haven't regretted it in the slightest.

Fangraphs still giving SD a .8% of winning the division, given that LA and SF have dropped so many games. Still in it!
Most cotenders/league leaders around 8-10%: KC, NYY, TOR, STL, PIT, NYM. Except LAD, who Fangraphs' projection system loves, seemingly because of the top of their rotation.
Here are fangraphs' odds: http://www.fangraphs.com/coolstandings.aspx?type=2&lg=div&date=current
Here are the odds if every playoff matchup is treated like a coinflip: http://www.fangraphs.com/coolstandings.aspx?type=0&lg=div&date=current

I still have Dickerson, but he probably won't make my keeper cut next season. I tried to deal him before the deadline but couldn't give him away. If that's how low his value is going into next season, he's going to be a steal in the draft.Doctor Detroit said:I dropped Corey Dickerson in both my keeper leagues for Charlie Blackmon last year.

His value has bottomed out that much? I mean, I get this season being a lost cause due to his injury, but it should be healed by Spring Training.I still have Dickerson, but he probably won't make my keeper cut next season.

Yeah, it's not like he had surgical repairs or a hand or shoulder or oblique problem. It was plantar faciitis—which should be long gone by next spring—and a then some bad luck with the broken ribs. It's not like the guy forgot how to hit. I'm in first place playing to win, so I offered him to half a dozen teams, made multiple attempts to gauge his value (he's keeper-eligible through 2018!) and got zero interest. Couldn't even get Maybin in return. When that offer was rejected, I gave up.His value has bottomed out that much?

I'd love to keep him, but my keeper stock is ridiculous next season.

I have a feeling he'll be on every sleeper list out there though. I hope he stays under the radar so I can get him back.this year he went in the top 5 rounds.
