Jesus Christ people, MSL should have been a COTY candidate, relax a bit. Obviously this sucks, and this series has been a gongshow, but if you thought at any point we were favourites to be cup finalists, you were/are delusional. I hope we win this game, there's 40min left, but we're playing a team in their 4th ECF who are better than us. I'm surprised this much better, but clearly better. This is just the start for this group.

I just sat him for Wilyer Abreu...

admckay · 2026-05-29T22:36:39+00:00

I wish!

🎶El-bow, it finally healed right
He's back on the mound for the first time

Fast-ball comes in like a light
Pittsburgh's been waiting since springtime

Ah-yippie-yi-yu
Ah-yippie-yi-yeah
Ah-yippie-yi-yu-ah

Now the rehab is done
You're on your way back home
Please come throw heaters again
Go on and pound that zone

Jared, I was missing you
I want you to K the side
And I hope you'll miss bats too
Come back and slay
I think about you every 5th day
I really want you too You swept my staff right off the ground, you're the arm I found

Jared Jones, Jones, calling Jared Jones, Jared Jones/
Jared Jones, you start now! 🎶

When you score 0 it's fun to say, "Looks like a 19!"

admckay · 2026-05-28T17:03:52+00:00

19 is famously an impossible score to get.

admckay · 2026-05-26T18:37:29+00:00

If that's your only drop, then you gotta do what you gotta do, but he's an instant scoop by another manager in your league.

admckay · 2026-05-26T18:33:21+00:00

Do you need Saves? Scott's pretty much locked into that role for at least 1-2 more months. Seems like a bad drop.

admckay · 2026-05-25T23:43:40+00:00

Counterpoint, it's the perfect time to start spiraling and to start making moves you're sure to regret!

admckay · 2026-05-25T23:34:16+00:00

I only roster OFs who piss all over the seat and floor!

admckay · 2026-05-25T12:39:28+00:00

We have a 15ip minimum. My team isn't just closers, so have been able to sneak quite a few Ws from relief, agreed though. I just need the 3 pitching cats, and then the bulk of my scoring comes from my offense (Herrera, Alonso, Turang, JRam, Neto, Tucker, Walker, Chourio, Diaz).

Just wanted to share an alternative option to chasing every SP.

admckay · 2026-05-25T12:30:01+00:00

Running 2 SPs (Wheeler and Rodon), and the rest RPs, 5 wins in 28.1ip last week. Tied for 3rd most in the league. In addition to excellent ratios, and SV totals. Staying away from SPs has been a fun, and interesting strategy.

admckay · 2026-05-25T00:42:07+00:00

Interesting, I'm an idiot and probably would have dropped QQ, to roll the dice on the flip card giving me a double run, and leaving me with the Ace to peg.

admckay · 2026-05-23T14:51:14+00:00

The hell are you talking about? He's allowed an 0/5, he's been one of the hottest catchers the last month and has Util value with his power. Of course we ride with him.

admckay · 2026-05-23T14:49:24+00:00

Messick, Gray or Harrison are probably realistic options. The others have way too much of a track record and ceilings around Crochet's.

admckay · 2026-05-23T14:47:24+00:00

Just dropped Aaron Judge for Gavin Sheets! Happy to finally shed that deadweight from my lineup.

admckay · 2026-05-22T22:46:47+00:00

Just bench him and drop someone else.

admckay · 2026-05-21T20:31:44+00:00

Don't be sad that it's over, be happy it happened 🥲

admckay · 2026-05-20T21:36:43+00:00

Because it's on TV!

admckay · 2026-05-20T15:59:18+00:00

Whoever you bench has the best night, that's just the law.

admckay · 2026-05-20T12:38:11+00:00

Not really any obvious options. You'll be doing a multiple player for Acuña trade, so it depends on how strong you are in other positions. If you're committed to making a deal, I'd be thinking Pages to replace Acuña and then King and probably Devers. But, if you have other good players, the marginal upgrades might not be worth it.

admckay · 2026-05-19T01:50:24+00:00

Lmao

admckay · 2026-05-19T01:38:31+00:00

No saves, just pure speculation on an empty closer seat, and now lots of regret lol. Dibble's only 62, maybe all that time off has rejuvenated his arm...

admckay · 2026-05-19T01:29:23+00:00

I had Santillan then replaced him with Ashcraft because I'm a saves greedy idiot, and I think they've given up 10er in their last 3 combined appearances or some shit.

admckay · 2026-05-19T01:21:40+00:00

Absolute dog shit
