March 22, 20232 yr Author Hi All. Friendly reminder that our draft is this Sunday, the 26th, at noon. If you are going to auto-draft, set your rankings, or don't. I'm sure the default ESPN rankings and auto-draft logic will get you an awesome team. @jwill2420 @Shepard Wong @downundermike @RPeeteRules @Iggles25 @toolg @mikemack8 @mr_hunt @The Blackfish @BirdsFanBill

Missed it, spent the day at Longwood Gardens with my 2 year old and the in laws. Somewhat happy with my roster though. Best I could have hoped for.

Best I could have hoped for. I think that's the choice of a reasonable adult and father. Are you sure you belong here with the rest of us lunatics?

I have been a part of the EMB since I was in high school. I have somehow turned into a reasonable 33 year old adult and father despite this. Imagine how successful I would have been though if I never joined at all. Probably would be a billionaire by now.
March 27, 20232 yr To all you F-sticks that drafted a bunch of pitching in the first 2 rounds, I just wanna say F YOU, and I hope all your pitchers blow out their shoulders on opening day (except for Nola) How in the F is Kevin Gausman the best pitcher available by pick 22? Anyway - end rant - and good luck to you all!

Anyway - end rant - and good luck to you all! 9 SPs went in the first two rounds this year. If you take a look at last year's draft, exactly 9 SPs went in the first two rounds that year too. I did what you did last year and didn't love my choices for the top of my rotation, which is why I took one with my first two picks this year. You just needed to be a big enough dork that you took time to review last year's draft in prep for this year's, like me...
March 27, 20232 yr My issue, which I've expressed in here before, is more about how heavily weighted pitchers are in points leagues. I get it - they only pitch once a week. It's just annoying to me I can't bring myself to go pitching heavy, ever

March 28, 20232 yr I actually quite like my pitching staff when I consider how good my offense should be - just starting the smack talk here now
March 28, 20232 yr 17 hours ago, mr_hunt said: yeah...he could have my pitching. Don't be so hard on yourself. You got Hader, Pressly, and Holmes in the bullpen, so you have a good chance to lead the fantasy league in Saves. It's like having the best fantasy football kicker who kicks a lot of XPs... It's worth something, but not that much.
March 29, 20232 yr Pitching heavy is the way to go. The way this league offsets the pitching scores is that there’s a limit of starts for pitchers. I think I went pitching with my first 7 picks.
March 29, 20232 yr If you look at the champs from the first two seasons of this league, they both had a good balance of offense and defense.
