anybody else benching greinke today? (1 Viewer)

[pollardsvision]

i'm excited about him as my 6th starter for the year and i was planning on starting him against the D (with my eyes closed), but on the heels of bannister shutting them out, i don't think i have the stones to do it.

starting greinke today would be tantamount to betting on:

1. the royals sweeping the tigers on the road

2. the tigers offense stinking for 2 straight days

3. the tigers offense going 3 straight games without a real offensive explosion

i'm having a hard time envisioning anything but greinke getting shelled today.

it feels set up too perfectly. greinke's got all the hype coming in. meche weaves through trouble all day. somehow bannister shuts them out. now greinke gets to come in let the law of averages take effect.

anybody else on the "no balls train" with me?

 

[Regular Crust Pizza]

No.

 

[dirtyhalos]

i got im in the lineup, fingers crossed

 

[Bobcat10]

Starting in my category H2H.

Benched in my points only league where I'm limited to 1250 innings.

I hope he blows up on your a## like a 6 month old hemorrhoid.

with the royals on a 162-0 pace, I wouldn't bench him.

Planet Zach should be primed up for 5 positive innings.

 

[dirtyhalos]

dammit, i was hlding off posting for no jinx, but now that inge killed his scoreless effort, so far so good

 

[Kevin Ashcraft]

Hell no you don't bench Greinke.........

I LOVE IT!! KC SWEEPS DETROIT!

 

[Redwes25]

Glad I started him. Hopefully, he can keep this up.

Started him

Kid's good

 

[pollardsvision]

after i posted this, i ended up putting him in anyway.

i didn't want to mess with a kid like zack's confidence by not showing faith in him on his 1st start of the season.

I have to assume you drafted greinke, unless you're in a very very shallow league. Why would you start guys from the WW, over a guy you drafted....why not draft somebody else if you're not going to start him?

hes the last guy on my starting slot, its a weekly lineup league, i am a fan of playing that last slot for 2 start decent matchups

Do yourself a favor and dont bench Grienke for the rest of the year. He is a stud

Filthy #s....only one guy got past 1B tonight.

He and Bannister are a helluva 1-2 right now.

for the rest of the year.

Greinke owners last year were all thinking the same thing at this point.

Glad I drafted him in my keeper league. I was scoffed at by one idiot for taking him over Lester
