Yeah, not sure. I know Yahoo's numbers are kind of weird, they keep up preseason rankings (which themselves are just guesses) in weird places for some reason, too. I doubt they're league-specific, either.

That said, they can definitely do some pretty straightforward math on how much a player contributed relative to a) their position and b) the league as a whole that year, which I think is what the Player Rater does.

Congrats PW. Another great season boys.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball 2021 - Regular Season
 

Well crap. Last week, it seemed like my team might wake up and pull me up into third place. Alas, they went dormant in the final week, and I sank to 5th. Pretty sure I called that exact placing at the start of the season...

Looks like 12/13 years for Yoda as a top 3 finisher. That's bat**** insane.

Unrelated I suppose but I got my team name for Fantasy Basketball league and figured I'd share it:

Shut Up and Take Your Shot

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball 2021 - Regular Season
 

Congrats, and ggs everyone.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball 2021 - Regular Season
 

Great year and game everyone! Think I had the worst start I can remember. Was all the way down to 45 points at one point. Came all the way back to get number 4! Now I too... need one for my thumb!

So, if the Astros win the world series this year. What are all the folks gonna say that accused them of cheating I wonder? Is all forgotten?



Can't believe how long I've been complaining about umpires and the need to delete them from the game. Didn't actually see the check swing but I don't need to. That is not a call a guy 90 feet away should making. Baseball's refusal to enter the modern age just continues to cost itself new fans and old ones alike.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball 2021 - Regular Season
 

If the Astros win the World Series I'll still dislike them for cheating. It would complicate things for silly people who thought "they only ever won because they cheated" was ever a reasonable take, but for anyone comfortable with the nuance of "they were a good team that also cheated," no big deal.

It’s a shame that they cheated, because they didn’t need to. They were talented enough. And it’s a shame because I always rooted for them during those title runs.
That said, I’m still rooting for them over Boston, so the Dodgers can, perhaps, have a chance for revenge in the WS.
Imagine the story line for that!
And imagine the insane level of heckling that would await Houston each time they traveled to LA.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball 2021 - Regular Season
 

Yeah, it's clear cheating has no real correlation with skill. Just with competitiveness. The older I get the more I think of hyper competitive people as just fundamentally and tragically unhappy.

They were one of my favorite teams, as well, before the scandal broke.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball 2021 - Regular Season
 

This just in! The Astros are once again being accused of cheating! Color me whatever color shocked is.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball 2021 - Regular Season
 

I'm the only one popping in for a comment on the Braves' win last night? And you call yourself baseball fans!!

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball 2021 - Regular Season
 

Meh. This is what happens when I don't really like any of the teams.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball 2021 - Regular Season
 

I watched very little of the Series this year, maybe a few innings. For whatever reason this year didn't interest me.

I didn’t watch it much, but that was because I expected the Astros to win.
.

other league threads thattaway -->

but yeah, I assumed the Astros would win too. I didn't watch any of it, but would check the scores and was surprised. Having just started watching baseball a few months back with the Astros, I was kind of sad to see the loss, but the Braves are only a few hours away and across a state line so that's not too bad I suppose.

My parents took me to a home game once when I was little ( < 5yo ) that I barely remember. I might have gone a second time in high school with a marching band field trip or something. The only thing I remember from that one was one of the younger kids blowing his money on stupid paraphernalia, then having nothing left for the rest of the trip. I'll be honest. I'm not even sure it was a Brave's game. Might not have even been a baseball game, but I'm going to assume it was.

This is what happens when I wake up after having little sleep…..

*sheep. little sheep.


(couldn't help myself)

Thought you said it was a goat? Ah ha!

it IS. but sheep was all i could come with on short notice.

Don’t give Yn any ideas….

Well, it was inevitable. Baseball is on lockdown. Thankfully, there’s still plenty of time before the season begins for them to work things out.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball 2021 - Regular Season
 

Excited for this! I agree with Tongo. I initially considered Ryan Yarbrough in the draft but I exchanged him for Josh Fleming. Far from what critics say, the 25 year old has developed into a valuable starter for the Rays, posting a 4.12 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 87.1 innings the last season. With these stats and his consistency, I am certain that my decision is correct.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball 2021 - Regular Season
 

We playing again this year I presume?

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball 2021 - Regular Season
 

That's up to MLB, but if they have some kind of season we will too, yeah.

It’ll probably be similar to two seasons ago, hopefully with more than 60 games.

Unless both sides can’t come to an agreement and they cancel the whole season.

I haven't really payed any attention in regards to any of that. I'm sure they won't want to lose too much revenue.
