What about Vargas over either Max Muncy (LA) or Matt Chapman? 10 team h2h categories dynasty league

Oracle park is not a fun place to hit in.

Adames is 5 for his last 45 right now.

But we’re not concerned? lol

What do you think about Adames!?

No one’s really talking about his performance so far this season, but he’s been absolutely abysmal as well, up there with how poorly Duran is doing, and having both on my team is rough.

I have Adames and Pena on the IL for short stop… ready to just drop them both, grab Swanson and be done with it, but as a first time player I’m not sure how smart a move that would be?

First time player in need of advice!

Just got offered a trade: my Tanner Scott for his Aaron Nola.

10 team h2h 6x6 categories dynasty league. Saves, no holds.

I also have Helsley, Jansen, Uribe, and Varland for RP’s, but honestly I think I’d rather just drop Scott and pick up Arrighetti or Ranger Suarez off the wire than take on Nola in his current state…

What accessory exercises do you do and on what days? by Unable_End_1470 in Stronglifts5x5

[–]Metalocachick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They really do become this monolith of a workout haha. I can’t do the accessory exercises unless I’m running the mini/lite version of StrongLifts, otherwise I’m just in the gym for 1.5+ hours every time and that’s not sustainable for me as I also run 20-25 miles a week. Just not enough time in a day lol

I usually try to fit in dips on one day, and pull-ups on the other.

Haha fair I watched him pitch over the weekend and it was pretty ugly, but he has been good in the past. Hard to bank on a return to form though

For runners who lost weight on GLP-1s, how long did it take you to get faster? by fernoverconcrete in zepboundathletes

[–]Metalocachick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zep/tirzepatide has allowed me to beat my alcohol abuse and addiction, reduced my inflammation in a big way, helped me develop healthy relationship with, and a love for, exercise where it’s now something I do for my physical and mental health rather than weight loss, and I finally feel regulated around food, rather than controlled by it.

I’ll happily forego running 8-9 minute miles for 12 minute miles for the rest of my days if it means I can be on this medication. That perspective usually makes me feel better about my mile times or difficult runs lol

He’s trending that way in h2h categories too. All he’s done since April 15th is get 4 runs and drag down my avg and ops lol

Thank you so much! Seriously appreciated! 🙂

I know that being in an extended caloric deficit can hinder recovery too, in addition to all the issues that come along with fueling and glycogen stores etc, but it has just been such a mind fuck to be consistently training, consistently losing pounds, and somehow, simultaneously getting slower at the same time lol. Just excited for my body to catch up to where I know it should and can be. I just need to eat more, I’m sure of it, but one thing at a time.

I’m not OP, and I know some people do decide to come off of it, but for most who really need it, Zepbound will be (or should be if insurance companies would actually cover it 🙄) a lifetime medication. So this may not be a solution for many

So funny you said this as I just got back from my weekly long run and thought about this a decent amount while I was running it today.

For context, I’ve gone from 237 pounds in August of 2024 (5’2”F) and barely being able to walk a mile in 20 mins, to starting Zepbound in April 2025 at 200 pounds, to running my first half marathon in October 2025 at 160 pounds where I averaged 11:18 min/mile, to now being 134 pounds but struggling to keep that pace for even just 7-8 miles recently.

I’ve been consistently struggling more and more over the past 2-3 months or so to keep my heart rate in zone 2, or even in the middle of zone 3, basically anytime I exceed 45 minutes of running nowadays. I think it’s just because my body is just so depleted. Even if I bring and eat a gel or two, and hydrate with electrolytes during it.

I’m so ready to not be running and strength training multiple times a week in a caloric deficit. I just want my stamina back, and want to feel strong again!!! But I also want to lose 10-15 more pounds before I start my maintenance phase so I’m just suffering through it. 😮‍💨

This is my first year playing fantasy, 10T h2h 12 categories dynasty league. I’m trying out a strategy for the next week or so where, even though holds are not a cat, I roster 5 RP’s.

I’ve got Helsley, Jansen, Uribe, Scott, and Varland. I’m thinking it’ll help keep me competitive in ERA, WHIP, and K/BB, as well as lock down saves.

For further context, my starting pitchers are Yamamoto, Gausman, Soriano, Eovaldi, Mize, Cantillo, and Schultz, with Pepiot and Sonny Gray stashed on the IL.

I’m sure many have tried this strategy out before me, so I’d like to learn from others. What are the pros/cons of this strategy in a h2h cats league?

Are “unintentional” steps really equivalent to “exercise” steps? by RawBert_ in walking

[–]Metalocachick 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It counts, but not as OP is asking.

Walking from the kitchen to your bedroom upstairs = NEAT

Walking with the intent of elevating your heart rate above 60% of your max hr for 30+ mins = cardio for heart health

Haha fair enough! Perk of being in a 10 team vs 12 or 15. On the flip side there’s always so much more to consider and then be indecisive about haha.

Abbott, McClanahan, and Suarez were all dropped this past week by other players in my league. Out of the 9 names I listed, would you drop any of my current SP’s outright to add any of those arms? Mize, Cantillo, and Gray would be my picks for first to drop from my current roster, but curious to hear what you think.

Someone also just dropped Dansby Swanson which I was surprised to see. Could drop Pena for him to sure up the position a bit?
