[mlb] Fake Playoffs Now. Real Playoffs Soon.

Maximum

Spring has finally started, so It's time to say farewell to this handsome fella




Meanwhile, Yasiel Puig is RUINING THE GAME with his antics




This guy is hiding out in Tijuana until 2015




And Hank the Dog is the best dog

Angry

You missed one.

Raijin Quickfoot

Miguel Cabrera hit a home run. Guess I won't cut him.

FortyTwo

Well my boys have gotten off to a rough start.

Oh well.

Nirya

Mark Trumbo is basically my entire offense at this point.

Hjorvarthr

my pitching has been pretty good this week!

and my offense has been decent?

Goose!

I am having a pretty great offensive week (except in OBP) but a lousy pitching week. Shit happens.

Goose!

Oh and a rain delay fucked me out of a win.

When do we get to replace win as a stat?

PizzleStixx

Guys! Evan Gattis finally did things!!!

Raijin Quickfoot

Well... Tanaka is a hack.

Goose!

He did better than Yu's first inning in the MLB: http://www.baseball-reference.com/play-index/share.cgi?id=vKYMS

As soon as you propose a replacement stat and we vote on it next year.

I was all for QS, but that got pooped on rather quickly, if I remember correctly.

I'm fine with keeping wins though, it's historically been a fantasy stat and there's nothing that's all that much better anyway.

Jasconius

i like QS too personally and think it would be way better than W

Raijin Quickfoot

I don't remember what I said in the past but I'd be ok with QS now. A pitcher could still earn a point for a fantastic performance if a relief pitcher blows it for them.

Makes more sense than wins.

Angry

Goose still wouldn't have gotten a QS from Sanchez so..

Maximum

Tanaka is killing me.

Angry

I'm all for QS but if your pitcher pitches 4 innings and then there's a delay, tough shit.

Raijin Quickfoot

I lost out on a start because of rain too. You don't hear me bellyaching.

Raijin Quickfoot

Texieraieira left the game with a hamstring injury. AKA the Jose Reyes

Goose!

Quality start is an even dumber stat than wins, though.

Its like grading a home run based on how far it was hit.

Raijin Quickfoot

That...doesn't make sense.

Goose!

Exactly.

Raijin Quickfoot

No, comparing quality starts to home run distance doesn't make sense.

Zen Vulgarity

Quality starts just doesn't punish your pitcher for being on a team with a shitty bullpen and focuses mainly on independent stats

Zen Vulgarity

The Felix Hernandez Stat

I think QS would be a good stat for fantasy, superior to wins - though it pretty much kills wins from RP.

Raijin Quickfoot

Wins from RP are pretty cheap and impossible to predict anyway

PizzleStixx

And we are really pumping up RPs anyway with net saves and holds (which don't mistake, I'm a fan of).

Angry

If your reliever is getting a win it's most likely because he's blown a hold/save.

Schide

Good game, Pirates.

Raijin Quickfoot

Or a late

Yeah so it's almost like rewarding failure.

Maximum

I was wondering why the A's game was cancelled last night, since it stopped raining out here around 5pm.

It seems like they forgot to tarp the field the night before, and the infield was underwater....

Hurry up and move the team to San Jose already.

FortyTwo

Tex is on the 15 Day DL with a hamstring strain.

It begins.

FortyTwo

I think the thing that should be really scary about the Tex injury is the fact that he seems to have injured himself doing regular baseball activities.

Raijin Quickfoot

Pretty sure Tex can injure himself making a cup of coffee at this point.

Jasconius

Diamond Dynasty in the The Show is cool as hell but the motherfucker crashes on me constantly.

There's a 100% chance of a total system freeze if I attempt to throw a runner out at 2nd before the ball hits the catchers glove

FortyTwo

God Perkins has absolutely killed me this week.

My bullpen will be going through some changes. I already made one move, but I am looking for pen help - Official call for pen help.

Butters

Hope other teams out there had a "Happy Bro-pening Day" as well

Does the fantasy week end today or tomorrow?

Angry
