Was hoping to gain some ground this week on the top three, but now see Srar and Be are on a tear this week

What can I say, my no-SS strategy is playing out perfectly!

Can I thank whoever dropped Lucroy? Because he's been killing it since I picked him up.

Oh, you know how I am with catchers.  Baseball players, too.

17.1 innings this week, ERA = 0.00. I don't think I'm ever winning in the strike out categories again but I'll take that.

Hey hey @Ms. Canadian Destroyer. Sorry.

This is what I always do when I think I should play fantasy baseball. I forget about it and lose miserably.

LNK smashes me due to every single one of my batters going into a slump.  This season reeks of a middle-of-the-pack finish.

No one had Ian Happ? YOINK.

I didn't think he would be staying up this long.

I'm doing bizarrely good but I'm up against the #1 team in the league this week so I expect that to stop. But still, holy shit, 3rd in the league is the best I've done in a week in like 3 years of doing fantasy baseball with EWB.

Anyone want to trade for Cargo? I was lucky enough to snatch The Judge so RF is tied up and I could use some more versatility in my Utility spot.

 

Unrelated but fuck man it is impossible to field a full healthy team this year huh?

[HC]

Completely forgot about this and checked in to surprisingly see I'm middle of the pack despite shit-tier pitching. Thank you Correa and Altuve!!

First week of fantasy playoffs.

Me and Srar are tied 6-6 on the last day.

Playoff tiebreak is head to head in the regular season

We tied both times.

Hrm...

[Berober]

Update: Mike Trout just did Mike Trout things, game over.

[The Lusophone]

Oh hey I didn't come last!

WORST TO FIRST BAYBAY

Even if I don't win the finals I'm happy where I ended up. After having so many abysmal years in EWB Fantasy Baseball, especially.

[Twist]

I'M STILL IN IT!

It took a few 10+ winning weeks at the end to make the playoffs but woooohoooo.

[Lowerdeck]

Bummed I lost out.

[thatshortguy]

It'll probably come down to Cloudy's pitching to determine if there's another upset in these here playoffs.  If last night's Nats/Braves game is any indication, Washington is done playing around and Gio should do alright.  Doesn't help that Srar left King Felix on the DL and will miss his start tonight.

Sadly, I think the luck's run out on the Team of Noobitude.  Pollock & Scooter have been solid, but with Kemp as well as Peralta being day-to-day, that'll probably allow KM to take most of - if not all - of the batting categories.

My predictions:
Sweeties over Streakbreakers
Mustache over Noobitude

Mustache over Sweeties

Mothers over Mustache in a Commish-in-the-Bank cash-in.

I've made a few changes to simply get people in the line up for the last few days. I'm not expecting any miracles though.
