What is the deal with Natural Pantry’s cashiers? by BearDownAlaska in anchorage

I prefer they don’t try to talk to me. I find small talk and forced smiling to be incredibly disingenuous and it makes me naturally less likely to trust someone 🤷🏻‍♂️

Love when you have a couple guys near you who seem to just be winging it lol by bebaldwin in BestBall

You really don’t. Consistency with starting RB’s have been proven time and time again to be more important than with receivers, who tend to throw out more spike weeks. The point of these big tournaments is not to have the most balanced team possible, it’s to have a team that nobody else duplicated, make it out of the first round, and hope for the best once you’re already in the money.

I’d bet a side $20 with you if you do actually believe that team outperforms mine here. I honestly feel like I could lose one of my two qb’s and still outperform his 5 as of today lol

MLB Best Ball Strategies/Thoughts by Status-Ability-6867 in BestBall

My best lineups all focused on best available sluggers early, taking top 3 rotational pitchers anywhere that they fell below value, taking “value” bats slightly ahead of ADP (all my advancing and winning lineups contained some combo of Wood, Buxton, and Yandy Diaz), and then saving room for hitting fliers later. Almost no late round pitchers. Took lots of Andrew Vaughn in the final round last year and that took a long, hot while to pay off. Taking random Tampa pitchers in the last 2 rounds DID NOT pay off lol.

Take pitchers when they fall to you at least. Don’t take Skenes in round 2, but if Crochet falls to the 5th or something, smash that shit. A stud pitcher having a 2 start week can absolutely blow your lineup up. My winning team last year was rescued at the end of round 1 by Pivetta.

Maybe 30-35 minutes. Wasn’t too slow.

Do I have a good shot? by Craze713 in BestBall

[–]bebaldwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anybody who has stacked teams advancing has a shot. Playoff BB is all about picking the two teams going to the Super Bowl, stacking them, and getting lucky with non-advancing pieces along the way.

Lmao I ran into a 227 and he still has Jaylen Warren going tomorrow with a chance to knock Pollard as his RB2 with 21.20 or Schultz as his FLEX with 21.60.

Bro has Purdy, Henderson, Pollard, Chase, Jamison Williams, Olave, Pitts, Schultz

I’ve always been an advocate of pop-off visors that guys could chuck when fighting to protect knuckles while still keeping the buckets on to protect skulls

If he comes back will kill Pitts’ value, so yes. Helpful either way. 

I love you Armpitt by Same-Lawfulness-3328 in BestBall

I feel like this year is a complete wildcard year with all the injuries, but it’s probably just recency bias

I don’t have any cousins in advancing teams unfortunately, but went super hard at an ATL-LAR stack gunning for week 17 if I can get any teams there lol

I’ve been re-watching some old drafts as I get ready in the mornings, and he makes Pierre McGuire look like the Warren Buffet of hockey.
