Re: The RealTSM Chat MLB Fantasy League

Looks good. Also maybe change the minimum IP from 7 IP to 18-20. This ensures teams don't roll with 8 RPs and dominate as we suffered with in the past.

He also suggested swapping out Batting Average as a category for On Base Percentage.

Not OBP but OPS (On Base + Slugging Pct.)

Suggestion: Require four starting pitchers in the line up. Two seems awfully low.

Re: The RealTSM Chat MLB Fantasy League

Are we doing daily line up changes? It looks like that's how the league is set up. Could have sworn we were just doing weekly changes.

Also reminder that there is that annoying Australia two game series this weekend between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks that will count.

Re: The RealTSM Chat MLB Fantasy League

It's supposed to be weekly. If it's not set that way then it's HQ's fault and we'll fix it.

Re: The RealTSM Chat MLB Fantasy League

Settings say it's set to weekly on Monday just like it should be. It could be that it's letting us change as much as we want because the season hasn't officially started yet.

Re: The RealTSM Chat MLB Fantasy League

If anyone is interested in Swisher or any of my other bench batter's I need some pitching help.

Damn if I had just one more home run would have won it by a tiebreak. Also Alex Wood being a late scratch today cost me a possible win.
