LaFellaStrangiato Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Anyone here play fantasy? Long time fantasy player here. My first season was 1989, when stats were computed with paper, pencil, and the league numbers on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from USA Today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I love the A's as much as I love Rush. I will never give up and my team. But yeah its not looking good. Still its only April. I try not to shoot my wad too early:/The A's have a way of getting hot towards the end of the year.Last year's collapse was epic in nature.

My first season was 1989, when stats were computed with paper, pencil, and the league numbers on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from USA Today. Im in a very competitve 16 team keeper league. It makes fantasy football look like childs play. My team is off to a good start- will likely be 3-1 after this week. And in June, guess who is coming back on my roster http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Jose-Fernandez.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FountainOfSyrinx Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 M's swept by Astros. Four-game series, too. Astros have won 10 straight. Don't think that'll hold because that team won't win if it isn't hitting homers, but it does look like my Mariners might not be as good as advertised coming in. Too many outs near the bottom of the lineup. Don't get on base often enough to score consistently. Heavy, heavy sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingAllTheTime Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Cardiac Cards defeat Pirates 3-2 in 14! I almost feel bad for the Pirates. Three extra inning walk-off losses to your key rival has got to sting. But, again, I only almost feel bad for them. These are the kinds of things (going into a series 3.5 back to only end it 6.5 back - knowing you pitched well and had the rival in a corner the whole series) that make for great mind games. As much as I think the Cubs are going to be in Wild Card contention in September, I think the Pirates are the bigger threat for the division and this series could be a huge factor the rest of the season.

And their closer has a unique way of closing that I think will be effective over time...having the hitters hit lined shots at their defenders.

Right handed pull hitters at home, though..... Well, yes. But even this weekend, it was insanity. It was like watching those guys play on a beer league softball diamond. Anything off the bat carried, and carried a long, long way. If that happens all year, they might not lose again at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another high quality sports report from the folks at Fox and msnbc. Why let facts get in your way. You've got a base to support and an angle to spin!

I always worry about my team's bullpen - it can kill you. Real, though, your guys' relievers held together pretty well this past series. Yeah, three extra inning walk offs looks bad, but the fact of the matter is the bullpen got them into the extra innings to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, three extra inning walk offs looks bad, but the fact of the matter is the bullpen got them into the extra innings to begin with. This is true, theyve been pretty good. I dont think our bullpen is necessarily bad, its just that the last 3 years weve been spoiled with such a good bullpen. Melancon's velocity is way down, I dont see him holding on to the closer job much longer, I think Watson will take over. Bats will heat up, McCutchen is fighting a knee thing right now. My guess is we go on a tear in July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
