**Finless Memorial Gobbler - rodg12 Wins - Kyle Kendrick MVP (2 Viewers)

[Eephus]

Based on a one day sample size, it looks like hitters are going to grind out a few points per day. A game in the 5-10 point range will be pretty good production.

Pitchers will be more volatile. A start like Lohse's yesterday could be enough to win a week by himself but those should be relatively rare. Most Gobbler pitchers aren't opening day starter types so we'll know more in a few days.

 

[Annyong]

Our team is in shambles. Our first round pick changed his name to Melvin, then gets traded to the Padres where we will need a miracle for him to see the field.

MC Gas Money would be perfect for this.

3.05 - Kyle Kendrick, SP, COL

"Kendrick is fairly durable and has generally been a decent back-of-the-rotation starter, but his lack of strikeouts is a particularly poor fit for Coors Field and he served up 25 homers in 32 starts last year."

Sounds perfect.

-6.25 points

Who knew the worst Kyle day one would be Lohse? :(

 

[Frostillicus]

My team is terrible. They keep getting hits and stuff. Sam Fuld has 4 hits already! With 3 of my 6 pitchers on the DL to start I don't know if I can overcome this in week 1, and it's against TRE no less. At least Colby Lewis and Jordan Lyles kind of ####ed him over. Need Nolasco, Vargas, and Simon to come through and pitch terribly.

 

[Eephus]

CJ Wilson sucks at Gobbler

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Have my first two picks going today in Lyles and Lewis.

Up on frosty 9 - 1.5

Lol

 

[Frostillicus]

Big effort out of Nolasco today.

 

[E-Z Glider]

The Finless Memorial... home for incurable... tyrants and kings. (sorry, runs through my head every time this thread is bumped)

I'm glad Upton went because I don't think I could have resisted him here, but I didn't really want him because I want to have more fun. Even though I'm a Cub fan now I still live in Minnesota and as such I'll probably have to watch the Twins a lot. What could be more fun than watching them get shelled and know I'm killing it in fantasy?

1.04 SP Ricky Nolasco - that picture may as well be my team logo

He's both terrible and guaranteed to be in the rotation the entire season no matter what, plays for a horrible team so wins will be in short supply, and hates striking guys out.

First Clay Buchholz. Now Aaron Harang.

WTF

 

[Frostillicus]

Crushing TRE now 42.5-21 mostly thanks to Nolasco's awesome 23.75 points today. I still have Alfredo Simon coming up, and I feel good about him assuming he doesn't pitch until they play someone who isn't the Twins.

 

[Frostillicus]

Man one epic pitching outing is pretty huge in this.

 

[Kraft...]

PAID(Finally)

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Nolasco getting elbow looked at. It was a run.

 

[Kraft...]

I've only had one SP go so far, mostly 4-5's for me

 

[Frostillicus]

Nolasco getting elbow looked at. It was a run.

No!

Good for your Twins fandom, bad for gobbler.

My Gobbler pitchers are doing better than the pitchers in my real league

 

[Eephus]

My pitching line after 5 of my 6 pitchers' outings

35 2/3 IP

1.01 ERA

0.81 WHIP

4 Wins

29 Strikeouts

 

[Eephus]

Fantrax was scoring walks rather than walks allowed for pitchers. It has been corrected and week 1 scores adjusted accordingly. I'm still in negative numbers.

 

[the moops]

Twins pitchers are ####### gold in this thing

God everyone just shut up.

Behold my gobbling prowess

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Big Gobble weekend with some #4s and #5s going. Wheeeeeeeee

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

This 12 moves thing is going to bite me pretty early I think.

Maybe you should suck less at picking sucky players

I went too sucky. So sucky that they don't even get to prove how sucky they are.

 

[Eephus]

I might take a flyer on this Bumgarner guy

 

[Spartans Rule]

Six starts, six losses for my SP. A few of them actually pitched pretty decent and were tough-luck losers, but still a nice start.

 

[Kraft...]

Headley HR <_<

 

[Eephus]

Headley HR <_<

Kraft - RnR matchup is going down to the wire. A couple of strikeouts or a GIDP for Headley could swing the week.

 

[the moops]

Now this is the Buchholz I expected.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Teixeira and Moustakas tried to screw me, but the rest of the boys were just too awful.

Wtf is annyong doing btw?

 

[RnR]

Apparently I missed the deadline for transactions this week.

 

[RnR]

... and Headley grounds into a DP in B8 of a 14-4 game to give Kraft the win.

[Spartans Rule]

It wouldn't have affected my game, but I was terrified when I saw Leonys Martin almost hit a grand slam and super relieved when George Springer robbed him.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Stephen Drew PH grand slam was a real kick in the nads.

 

[Eephus]

Kris Bryant

holy #### eeph

He might as well change his jersey number to 643

What kind of anti gobbler potion has Teixera been drinking :wow:

Boo I say.

 

[Eephus]

Clutch 29 point Sunday start from Trevor Bauer (6 ER in 4 1/3 with a HR, WP and Hit Batsman) to narrowly win the week

 

[Annyong]

This league is hard

 

[the moops]

####### Aaron ####### Harang. WTF!
