Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

From what I heard he looked pretty good today. I hope he stays healthy; used to love watching him pitch.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Well, now that we know that Scott is a lying sack of crap, consider it lesson learned. I think he just deceived us all so he can get a leg up right out of the gate. :D

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

I'm sorry about that, man. I just saw it, I was shocked.
I'm going to see if I can correct it on my end and see if I can set it right. When I talked to you last night you should have known you'd lose W's for not meeting the minimum innings pitched, I'd have beat you 10-8-2 instead of 9-9-2, correct? I never even looked at your innings pitched or I'd have rubbed your nose in it last night. :)

Apparently 5 guys didn't meet the minimum innings pitched.
It appears I can't make an adjustment for just this week, or change the team scores. If I change minimum innings pitched to zero, it'lll fix this week, but it says it'll take 24 hours to show up. When I change it back to 40, I expect it'll just change the scores back.

I am truly sorry, and I hope you'll all forgive me on this.

I went and searched the rules for future use...

Head-to-Head Leagues
In all Public Leagues, the active members of a pitching staff must throw at least seven (7) total innings each week. Should a staff fail to meet this requirement, that team will automatically lose all five of the pitching matchups.
Custom Leagues default to the Public League settings, but the limits are configurable.
The maximum and actual games played information for your team is available by clicking on The minimum innings pitched information for your team link in the table at the bottom of your team page.


If a manager chooses to add/drop pitchers on a daily basis in order to maximize their innings pitched totals, this does not represent a violation of league rules or fair play guidelines.
Head-to-Head leagues do, however, feature an innings pitched minimum. This total must be reached each week. Failure to accumulate the minimum number of innings will result in forfeiture of all pitching categories for the week.
If both teams fail to reach the minimum, both teams will receive ties in all pitching categories.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Which is fine, because 8-10-2 is a helluva lot better than 6-14. That's ok though, I've got all season to kick your skull in.:sl

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

I'm hoping the set/reset of minimum innings works. I'd think there'd be another way to adjust team scores, but I can't find it.
I'm going to make you co-commish so you can look. Maybe you'll find something I missed.
Edit:
I can't make you co-commish because your email is hidden. Dick.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Almost positive that you can't set something retroactively. Not that big of a deal. We've got twenty some weeks to compensate for this one.:tu
I got tired of you forwarding me all those links from Manhunt.:D

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

I'm afraid to even guess what manhunt is.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Just for clarification because I'm as dumb as a bag of hammers, forty innings pitched needs to be met in order to qualify for the pitching categories, correct?

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Sure Scott, act like you don't know. That'll fool'em.:r

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Yes.
They do lift the minimum innings pitched requirement sometimes on shortened weeks, like those around the all-star break. That's a Yahoo thing that they do. Usually there will be an announcement on the league page or something.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Today should be my good day with four pitchers going. It should boost my pitching numbers unless one of them gets shelled!

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

That's a good way to get a look at your guys, if nothing else. I like when it happens early in the week, then I can grab a couple pitchers from the FA if I need a little bump to grab a category.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Wow, Verlander was on his way to a complete game shut out...until I turned on the radio app to listen to the ninth inning!!!

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Go Rays!!!!

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

26 outs of shutout ball for Garza. One more out... Not sure how many complete game shutouts we'll see this season but it sucks to be so close to winning those two categories and yet so far away. Anyone in Chicago to herf with after I get done beating Cubs manager Dale Sveum with a bat? I mean, they had an 8 run lead, give the man a chance to finish off his shutout...

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

At least the Twins figured out how to hit the ball and put some runs on the board the last two days. They needed all 16 of them too!

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Not much smack talk going on here... My team is kickin' ass this week. I must say that this is the first time in fantasy baseball where I am happy to have the guy that's 0 for 2 with 3 walks in the lineup rather than the guy that's 3 for 5 with a HR. Walks I needed...

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Scott, you want to put a troop fiver on next week?

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Hells yeah. Now you're gonna make me get my entry in. :)

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

I'm back fellas. :) Scott it looks like a lot depends on what happens today brother!

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Welcome back, punk!!! :tu
Yes, it's a turning point day. My guys hit for sh1t all week. The only way I can catch up is through a couple pitching categories. I rotated some garbagemen in to see how they do, but it looks like a .500 week when it washes out. I'll be happy to take that as bad as my hitting line was.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Thanks man!

We both had a rough couple of days to start this week. I think we were both sub .200 BAVG at some point.

I agree it will most likely be a .500 week when it is all said and done. Want to trade me Buster Posey? :)

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Are ya ready to part with Michael Young yet? :)

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Haha, I don't think I would be able to part with him. He's probably my MVP since he can play 3 different positions and is good for H, AVG., Runs, 1B, 2B, and RBI's.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

I'm full aware of what he's worth, you stole him off of me in the draft, ya rotten bastage. He's the only guy I missed that I cursed about. :D
How bout Posey and Ramirez for Young and busted down Carl Crawford?
Or I'd go Napoli for Young. That one's pretty heavily in your favor, although Young's had a good start and Napoli hasn't.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Who drafted Matt Kemp? He is pretty much carrying my team right now.
Not putting up the SB numbers but with everything else he is killing it.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Mark has him. Kemp is tearing it up.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Yep, Kemp rocks. I hope my guys saved some juice for the rest of the season. Why steal a bag when you get the 4 for 1 special? haha

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Jarrod, trade accepted.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Awesome! First blockbuster trade! :)

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Ham sammich for a bag 'o chips?

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

My order of Cremosas finally arrived so I will have my wager sticks out tomorrow. Sorry for the delay

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

I'll update who has their entry sticks in and who doesn't. I got Stephen's and Coach's. I still haven't pulled mine, I should have my ass kicked. I'm just plain too busy. I'll get it asap. I hate to hurry when I do it cause I always screw up, ya know?
My apologies!!!

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

I have the sticks I want to send sitting in my vault at burn and keep forgetting to grab them when I go in. I'll get them to you soon Scott. Sorry for the delay.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Just go ahead and send them to me, cut out the middle man. :gary

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Oh ;s I didn't realize you were in first place! LOL!

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

How does it effect your team when your A list starters start twice in a week?
I mean if you are winning a category already and they just add to it then that's all it does right? You'll definitely hit your forty inning a week minimum!

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

:r, I would be in first if not for the "you will only sacrifice wins if you don't meet the minimum innings pitched the first week" misinformation from shilala.

If it's one of your stud pitchers and you need more K's, innings, whatever go ahead and start him, usually pretty safe. If you are ahead in ERA and WHIP and don't need more K's and innings to win those categories you can bench him so as to not risk a bad outing pushing up the ERA, WHIP and L categories.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

I smell abet coming on week 5...

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

I have some new information. Fear me.
The Juggernaut is nearly complete.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Quite literally shaking in my boots right now. :r

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

We were 9-9 when games started today. This is the same position I was in this time last week. Generally it doesn't work out the same two weeks in a row.
Regardless, it'll be a nice chunk of sticks for the troops. (Coming out of your stash.)

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Okay, so I made up the keeping track thing. You guys check it out when you get a chance and let me know if I've made any mistakes. I suppose I better make a league pm about entry smokes and reporting bets for logging. I'll do that later, I need to get to work.
You'll notice there's a 5 stick discrepancy between "entries" and "sticks left to bet". I've taken off the 5 entry fee sticks and reflected them as thus.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Looks like pitching stats are pretty much tied, but you're going to need a big day offensively tomorrow to win this one. 9-5 right now in my favor with 4 tied offensive categories.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Scott, I think I sent a box for troop sticks a couple of weeks before the season started, just need to get the entry in.

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Just missed it. Uh oh, Scott back to back losing weeks.. whatcha gonna now? :D

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

Big thanks to Scott for his generous donation of 5 sticks for the troops!!:r:r:noon

Re: 2012 Fantasy Baseball For Stakes And The Troops
 

What a beatin I took. I'm all for letting guys get a slow start, but I've just got too many. Reyes and Cabrera are not helping a bit.
I was within an inch of doubling up the bet. Whew. :)
Congratulations, Mark. Now to move onto this week's exercise in futility. :D
