***2017 Cakeleeg Leeg Thread*** - let's just call it a day (1 Viewer)

[Capella]

I know it's whining after the fact.  Just takes a lot of fun out of it for me personally, as I usually go light on starting pitching during the draft and then stream.  This makes it much more a pain in the ###.

I get it but just plan a day ahead. And if it can be fixed like you say then it won't be a problem. 

 

[trogg78]

You'll also want to make sure you put a waiver for more than one player if you want to stream.  There are no guarantees you get the player.  If you miss you have to wait another day to try again.  Free Agency was nice because you knew you could get someone to fill a hole the next day.

Baseball HQ podcast and Ron Shandler himself basically said this was an amateur format based on the WW/FAAB/FCFS system we employ.  Pie did this last year and somehow we followed, so pieleeg>>>>cakeleeg at the end of the day.

Nice job Shuke, this is all your fault for letting it slip away.  @RnR got the best of you, damn dude.  

Late to this party, but Pie Leeg isn't jacked up like this league. We can can use players same day they're added. @shuke is a visionary, you guys just failed the Yahoo settings test. I feel for him.

 

[Capella]

Cappy takes something called Yangervis Solarte and I don't know what he plays or for whom.  But there you go.

This guy is a stud  

 

[Capella]

why don't we just put it to a vote?

the BHP shtick is pretty funny coming from a guy rolling with the Phillies 7th inning man at GABP.

Joaquin Benoit will close games for now.

ool

 

[Peyton Marino]

yea good luck with that

 

[Capella]

Guy had solid ratios last year with a nice K/9. Add some saves to that and you have a valuable piece. Should I have drafted a international league player instead?

you keep talking about K/9 like walks don't exist.  is 1.27 WHIP good for a reliever? lmk

the saves are nice.  let's see if he can hang on to the job.

1.27 is not great but won't hurt you either.

Philadelphia will use benoit till the deadline and flip him.  no reason to use neris now.

 Marino trashing your pick during the draft pretty much guarantees a breakout year. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

So let me break it down.

Buster Posey to the DL at 3 pm EST.

I lose today's catcher eligibility, because they announced it late.

I put in a waiver claim in Cake, and I'll get a player tomorrow.  Maybe.

But that player isn't eligible tomorrow, I have to wait until Thursday. 

This is like a ####### kindergarten fantasy baseball league now, we are kowtowing to the 4 ####### ######s that can't keep up with the game.  No reason to have another season of this league IMO, it's basically an 8 team fantasy football league now.  gllllllllllllllllllll

Quit yer #####ing, you sound ridiculous. 

 

[Capella]

If we did weekly waivers you wouldn't be able to get a catcher till next week. Maybe next time speak up when it's discussed during the draft. 

 

[Capella]

My only regret is I didn't see that post earlier and put in a waiver claim for a catcher to block Dr D. 

 

[Chemical X]

I prefer annual waivers.......1 massive claim at the AS break.  this gives those without phones, CompuServe, computers, devices, pencils, etc. a fair chance to claim players.

I agree. Love faab. Good chat to have during the draft. We'll bring it up next January.

You keep saying this like all of the details were fully laid out.

How's the weather down there?

I don't know.....

YOU TELL ME!!!!!  BOOM!  ROASTED!

Not being able to simply drop a player immediately so you can activate a guy coming off the DL and use him is really dumb.

have you tried the DL swap?  Since 1/2 my team is usually DLd, I do this often.

Isn't that a yahoo thing? 

 

[Peyton Marino]

Lots of industry chatter lately about leagues adding an extra DL spot or two with the shift in the way teams are handling this 10 day DL. not sure if we can change at this point, but something to chew on.

In a rare twist, both my guys are coming off the DL today.

 

[General Malaise]

I guess so.  Whomever's 'thing' it is, it is head-spinningly stupid.  I am not making a waiver claim, I'm just ####-canning a guy from my roster.  That can't be done instantaneously?

It's always been next.  I'm just surprised it's now not a 3 day wait under Cappy's regime.

Yeah gonna have to add one next year with the short benches.

In Pie you can drop a player and move another from DL into the starting lineup on the day of games.

 

[shuke]

I may have misread this initially.  Are you saying you couldn't drop someone and move another guy out of a DL spot the same day?

WTF, Capella?

I have the same amount of access and control to the commish panels as you do, shukemigo.

X told me to trade for Cespedes in Dynasty, next day he's on the DL.  Not shtick.

Not true - you axed my opinion on an offer you received knowing full well that if I liked the deal the players(s) you acquired were likely to die.  It didn't have to be Cespedes.  Anyone would have died.  Remember, I once spent 3 weeks concocting a deal for victor cruz only to see him play 1 quarter for me in total.  This year I drafted eaton, smyly, cespedes, Donaldson, happ, semien.  if you had avoided my guys, you profit!

Benoit update?

 

[Capella]

Didn't get a save last night because of the waiver rules. Is this where I whine and get upset at cappy for not changing a rule he has no control over? @shuke

 

[Chemical X]

i am looking to deal a SP for a closer.  inquire within.

 

[cheese]

Interested thanks to Cappy's stupid SP format
