Please let me know if your team is not in bold.

We’re 10, which would be perfect. Would you guys still prefer two divisions with 10 teams?

My two boys are The Killer Minors. They aren't good, but probably better than a ghost team:)

Forgot about that.

Two five-team divisions sounds good. Four teams to playoffs (division winners plus two wild cards). Prefer the one-week playoff rounds, just like regular-season matchups.

I don’t mind the 2 week playoff format, but I’m good either way. I’m 100% for us going to fewer playoff teams. When 75% of the teams make the playoffs (8 out of 12 in past years) it makes the regular season pretty pointless.

I identified my keepers and set up everything for auto draft. I'm busy with parental obligations tonight so I dont think I'll be able to do the live draft.

Any thoughts on this new ESPN interface? I think it's pretty awful. Don't understand why the need for the redesign. The old one was way more functional.

Seems like they are just trying to match all their leagues up. Basketball was like this too. You'll get used to it.

I hope so. And hopefully they'll tweak it and fix some of the glitches. The first day or two it showed all players as not in starting lineup, batter vs. pitcher stats arent working and I miss some things like the old player comparison pop up box. I do another league and we lost our trophy history dating back 10 years. We also have a pitch-start limit and the count display was eliminated. We're taking a look at Fantrax for next year. Just seems like ESPNtraded functionality for a fresher look. Or maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy.

Who would have thought that after a month, I’d have a far worse record than the Baltimore Orioles

And the worst part is... I’m actually trying to play! Injuries are absolutely killing me!

Based upon your weather predictions, I would have made that bet.

Finally got one over on prototype last week and this is the furthest into the season Ive been over .500 since I started playing fantasy baseball with you guys

Injuries are killing me

Anyone need a catcher or corner infielder? I've got some to spare and need some saves and maybe some more SP help.

I could use some infield help...make me an offer

I have Donaldson, Suarez, Escobar, and Swanson I'm willing to part with. As well as either Contreras or Sanchez at catcher. really just need some RP help. at this point. Would also be willing to part with some starting pitching if need be.

My whole team is on the market... Outside of Trout - everyone is available. Looking already to 2020. Willing to give to keepers for a solid one - if the situation is right.

Sent you one for osuna

I also have pollock and Hendricks on IL if anyone wants to trade for them. for future.

Hey Proto or anyone with a few minutes,

Any chance you could extrapolate the standings? According to my calculations, using the Proto method, Im 6-7 on the year (Im 57-67-6 using the actual ESPN calculation)

Well for the first time ever, I finished above .500 in Fantasy baseball, and narrowly missed the upset of the year in the first round of the playoffs, losing on a (IMHO) silly tiebreaker with Dellin Betances sitting on the bench.

Good luck to ATL MorningWood and Fincastle Fanatics for making it to the championship game!

With the braves clinched and a lot of my guys getting time off I think I'll be the underdog this week.

I’ve had by far the worst year I’ve ever had. Somehow, I’m in the finals.

I thought Julio was going to kill my pitching line. Then Jack Flaherty goes out and shoves to balance it out lol

Jbock out here back loading his pitching for friday Sat and Sunday with 7 starters. well played. Lets hope I can hit and steal one or two of the pitching lines. hopefully saves. To finish this one strong.
