Some shifting but Yaz is still smokin. I had to use the 5th column for RP for the first time. Too bad it was Nathan, Cordero and Krod for a combined 1 point for three of those spots. Pased on Beckett and Peavy, took Johan. Too bad I decided to start Peavy at the last minute in B101, initially I was just gonna go Beckett. Another great day for hitters due largely to Mauer who I picked up for the weekend. Will he be the best catcher in Ball the way he is supposed to be from here on out? |

My streak continues. Berkman yesterday for nothing. No Berkman today so he hits a HR. I'm just going to push all my planned moves back by a day from now on.

But I did get the hot Soriano for that great matchup vs Hirsh and have -4pts so far. I'd say Soriano should be a great buy tomorrow.

Looking at the schedule for tomorrow I can safely say that Soriano won't score negative points anyway ;)

re: 47
Haha, Soriano is off tomorrow. Don't know if you meant it that way, but he's guaranteed to score "more" tomorrow then he did today!
I had Zambrano and Berkman. Also had Hart and Braun, who didn't do much. Here's hoping Berkman hits a homer in the top of an inning, followed by a Hart triple and Braun homer in the bottom of the inning.
Since I'm an Astros fan, the Berkman homer should be a 3-run shot so the Astros still get the win:-)

I'm getting the feeling that Griffey has a cap of $25. He's been out every time I checked today, but always $25.

re:50
I'm disapointed that RH put a cap on any player. What's the use of going for big FV if they take away the advantage of having it?

I was thinking the same thing, but that seems to be an exceptionally low cap. Definitely hasn't been inflation from $25 despite being sold out quite a while.
Still, Griffey hasn't been below $10.84 all year and plenty of guys who were priced below Griffey were able to climb higher then $25 (examples: Delmon Young started at $2 and climbed up to $31.67, Howie Kendrick started at $1 and climbed up to $26.70, John Maine went as low as $3.94 and made it up to $41.84). This doesn't make sense since intuitively a players "cap price" would be tied to his starting price.
I'm generally against the idea of a cap in this game, but if there is a cap, it should be the same for all players. This seems to be true since Pujols and ARod both are capped at $90 (except an apparent glitch where Pujols briefly made it above $90, but his season range indicates that $90 was his high point).

More cap venting : RH expects me to purchace the premium package yet there is no advantage in having it at this point in the season.
My team has a FV of about 2200. No need to monitor prices closely when I know how the move anyway...

Wang and Unit are good for about -30 so far.
Not the right day to lose track of Gregg and fill in an SP slot w/ misc.
I was going to start Unit anyway, so I guess the real swing is from Gregg to Wang - still hurts.

Wow, over 100 from my 8 hitters tonight (powered by Utley, Sheff, Berkman, and Dunn). Feels like quite a while since I had a night like that. No SP and only 1 save (with Mariano pending).

New York was leading 8-6 in the top of the eighth when the game was halted for the last time. Play will be resumed at the point it was stopped when the Yankees return to Camden Yards on July 27.
This could be interesting. Maybe some of these scenarios can play out now that we've been talking about, like one player being traded to the other team before the game is 'resumed'.

Guru - about those missing 6 points from the other day.....now I am only missing 5.70 points. somehow I gained back .30 points overnight, but I have no idea how or why. still missing the 5.70 points, and even went back again this morning and rechecked ALL the daily scores all the way back to April 1st, and still no changes there.
I have emailed them twice about this, but still haven't gotten any response from customer service. I'm sure they are pretty busy with their "upgrade" project, but would be nice to hear something back.
did you gain the .30 points overnight also, or are you still 6 points short ?

Similar situation to MrBig...After what seems like weeks since I've even managed a day of 7 pts/game from my hitters, I got 132 points out of 7 hitters yesterday (2 got rained out) along with a save from Gregg. Going to have to wait a couple months to see if I got a save from Rivera too.

donk[63] - I also gained the .3, which I assume means they did not allocate ARod's -0.30 last night. They also didn't charge the GP for ARod. Those may be deferred until after the suspend game is completed.

Decided to sit Santana - oh well. And I swapped out Mauer for VMart since I figured Verlander might dominate the Twins...great timing.
At least my relievers of Mariano, Capps and Wagner look like they are doing well.
I picked up Holliday but forgot to move him up which looks like a good mistake so far.

A horrible day for my roster and C-losers!
I didn't have Rivera or Capps, though I did anticipate reasonably close games.
I also skipped KRod and that looked great until Chris Ray decided to pitch like Chris Ray.
It seems like my good hitting day will be duplicated both by popular hitting choices as well as by bad closer choices.

Snell here. pitched well, but no run support, thus no win. Capps was the winner (who I didn't have).
now that we all spilled the beans, who did you have Species...Chris Young maybe ?

I had Young, Paps, Wagner, and F-Rod. Solid night if Young holds on for the win. Also had Berkman again (go Lance!) and Barry. If Young holds on for the win, it will be a pretty solid night:-)

A rare 4 save day (Wagner, Putz, Pap, KRod). Unfortunately, for efficency's sacke, Wagner had an extra inning and Putz had an extra 2/3. I have yet to pick up an uber-efficient 1/3 IP save. With the state of the game in 2007 there aren't that many of those anyway.

I'm surprised you would start Gregg since he pitched 3 innings in the last 2 days. I went with Hennessey instead so of course he gave up the winning HR and took the loss.

I goofed with that one.
I was compensating for skipping him yesterday. Then, of course, my choice for the last "P" slot tonight came down to Young, Hoffman, or Putz.
I took the least efficient of the 3 choices b/c I had already backed myself in the corner by giving away the "SP" slot earlier.
So yeah, i'm surprised I would do that too, grrrr!

Re: 81
I have Hennessey in my regular roto league, and have been suffering through his outings as well. He really shouldn't be a closer, they just have no one else. Then again, neither should Borowski or Todd Jones, and they have jobs.
Ok, that must be about my 5th hammering of those two (and I use the term loosely), "pitchers" this month. Maybe I should lay off.....naaaah.

Ah, I suddenly remember my logic from earlier in the day.
If Gregg got the save earlier, I was definitely going to start Young.
He didn't get the save, but as game time approached I felt I couldn't pass up the chance that Young would have a monster night.

I have Hennessey in two leagues and definitely dissapointed. He does really well except when the game is on the line he gives up a solo HR. At least he goes after the guys. I think the bigger problem with him is that the Giants stink and the chances to actually save a game are few and far between. Even last night wasn't a save opp as they had already blown the lead earlier and then tied it back up.

I am also a less than enthusiastic Hennessey owner. I have him in a H2H league and he's been a waste of a roster spot. I'm having a hard time simply dropping him, but he sure isn't worth much.

Re: 87
The one day I played Braun this year he got me about -6 points, but had big games the day before and the day after. So I kicked a Braun field goal of sorts.
time for the poll - Sabathia or Beckett ?
very tough call. Thought about going with them both, but ended up just playing Beckett. Plus there is the Peavy/Penny matchup later.

I'm negative today. Had Beckett but my hitters just stink as usual.
Anyone watching the Braves/Marlins game. A couple bad calls go against the Marlins including one in this inning and then on top of that an obstruction call which was suspect as well. So now 3 runs are in. Don't have any dogs in this fight, just feel bad for the Marlins.

I went with Beckett :( I had a bad feeling about Sabathia after 2 CG. I skipped Peavy and Penny because I didn't know who to pick. I did go with Hoff and Saito though.
No Braun here, but I'll crow about having Beltran. It's a good thing too because if it weren't for he and Fielder I'd have nothing to show for the day.
