Jesus f*ck cut Bartolo Colon already.

This loss is more than 1 loss. Disrupts a nice groove they had. Hopefully they can have a short memory and pretend this night didn't happen but if they start losing these following days it's 100% on Colon pitching tonight I have no doubt about it.

Deflates team morale when you automatically get rocked because you play some ******* who has an ERA of 9+

If I'm a Brave, why even try? Why bother? F*ck you Colon.

at this point the Astros may pick him up for a spot start... They have to score 8 runs a game to win right now, because the staff is decimated right now. That being said they can score 8 runs a game... I mean ****... the big 3 all have OPS' over 900, Reddick is approaching .900. Mccann has been great. Marwin Gonzalez also an OPS over 900. Bregman and Yuli over the past 30 days all have .820 plus OPS... Even Marisnick is hitting 440 foot home runs in the 9 spot.

The astros lead the league in slugging and the least amount of strike outs... its absurd.

Here it is boys.. my impeccable taste in closers so far this year

Grab colome when he's elite then he gives up multiple runs 3 or 4 times in a row
Grab kintzler, 2nd in saves in the al despite not being minesotta's closer to start the year

And he's not doing too hot tonight

I drafted Knebel and Justin Wilson very late. I did the same thing last year with Colome. Only a matter of time before Robertson is traded and Kanale (sp) is the closer in Chicago. Kela will be closing for the Ranger soon as well.

yea those are some nice pickups. knew knebel would be good. with as few picks as i had this yesr i couldnt think of closing until they were all gone

except for treinen, whom i grabbed and was named closer... but he sucked

Did the DBacks bump Randall Delgado back out of the rotation? Dude has been pitching good. Not sure if serious

They won't put Corbin in the pen even though he's been a train wreck since last season and doesn't have peripherals showing he's likely to turn it around either. Not sure what else he needs to do to get demoted to the pen he's been awful.

[SoutheastBeast1]

Finally Colon is DFA'd

Hey saalty is Andujar the next Yankee GOAT? After one game I'm pretty confident he will overtake Aaron Judge, tours over boyo.

Solid 3B, but no Freddie Freeman. Freeman the GOAT 3B now. Our Chipper replacement has arrived. Future HOF 3B and a big 3 of Newcomb aka Tommy Glavine, Soroka aka Greg Maddux, and Folty aka John Smoltz. Inciarte gold glove CF aka Andruw Jones. RIP MLB, history repeating itself all over starting 2018.

Friendly Freeman has been sick the last two seasons, the 1b/3b eligibility will be nice. Have always liked him, probably because of the Friendly Freeman commercials. Would have a beer with/10. He's a poor man's Jake Lamb at 3rd but not a bad consolation prize Can't believe I didn't see Lamb was available so late in the draft and took Sam god damn fukking Dyson the same round he went. Shoot me. Could have the GOAT MLB rbi combo right now.

I hope you guys take the NL West cause it will be a shame for you to be one and done if ATL ends up with the other WC instead of the East.

[Jyeatbvg]

it happens
same for the starters i grabbed. lance lynn and john lackey playing like garbage as soon as i get them

Maeda - converted to RP
Melancon - DL


LOL looks like all parties involved took a hit

I'll buy you a ticket to the Wild Card game in AZ if the Braves manage to get into it vs the Dbakes lol airfare is on you.

Can't make any promises on that

God dammit

I knew villar would do well. Had him in the last 2 days and he hasn't started. Kipnis had a 12 o'clock game and has been a lil hot the past few days and was starting. So stuck him in case villar didn't start

2 hr's from villar

Put him in in my other league though

[SteezeFactory]

Trea out with a broken wrist...




...lmao bacon might be flying out after all

Yeah but this is favorable for winning the NL East which means we wouldn't play you, we'd play the NL Central in the NLDS

[SoutheastBeast1]

Also tonight is a MUST win for Atlanta I have to say. Cannot afford to drop a series to the Padres. Thanks Colon

Just like sogard is better than villar right?

Villar almost totaled sogard's career in hr's tonight

But yea let's sit a 20 hr, 60 sb guy for a guy who's lucky to get it out of the infield..and also can't run

Kipnis has been bad but could turn out fine. Willing to hold onto, but I don't have to

Also I believe I distinctly remember questioning if Villar had a position. Don't think I said anything about one being better than the other, just that Sogard would cut into Villar's PT as he's been playing well this year.

Annnnnnnd technically Villar has pinch hit twice and started once since being back

Which of us has been right again

But hey.... I'll concede because....









Have fun with my scraps beneath me in the standings. I dropped Jones for you to pick up too lmao

one week in 2 years.. trout coming back soon..

[melanimal_old]

wow had a mid year performance review and not a single bad thing was said. Lead 2 major product launches at the same time and got them all out.

Going to the DR Sunday through Sunday. Company will probably close the deal officially next week.

You get any kind of raise? I'm happy for you man. I know you've struggled there.

Gotta feel bad for Dustin Fowler. His MLB debut didn't even last a full inning. Was excited to see what he had. Definitely an under rated Yankee prospect.

Saw that. Tough way to make your debut

[SoutheastBeast1]

It never fails that if I'm tied in HRs (sometimes ahead by 1 or 2 even) and similar averages to my opponent, I'm nearly always down a full .100 points in OPS

Is everyone else really hitting that many more doubles compared to me or something? It's mind blowing, I sh*t you not

This week no different. Tied at 7 HRs and both right at .300

Pro's OPS .970, mine .870... wtf?!?!?

Edit

He just homered so now it's even higher, lol. But the point still stands.

It's insane how I must be losing the doubles game at an extraordinary pace each week

[SoutheastBeast1]

Also I'm gonna drop all of my pitchers and just start streaming from now on

All my regular pitchers suck dick but every time I add someone they pitch great and pick up the rest of my sh*t regulars getting blasted

Eyes on you Cole. The ****ing Giants.... really bro???

No we did these because they are closing the ICP bonus because GE does theirs differently. We had some goals. They are going to pay %50 of our bonuses based on a yearly projection. Personal performance is only 20 percent of it. Probably will be like maybe a grand because off shore hasn't recovered yet.
