FYI… I changed two things on the schedule. First, moved the Trade Deadline back from August 6th to the 13th. It resets every year, because of the Keeper/Draft Pick aspect we’ve always pushed back.
I also pushed the playoffs up a week. We’ll end the season a week earlier so the championship isn’t played with too many call-ups and players getting rest and starts getting skipped or shortened.
Sorry for lack of a league vote, but season starts tomorrow and pulled commish-4-life powers for what I think are pretty non-controversial changes.
Nice drafts for many of you, quite a few of you stole my picks! My team… not looking too hot, will be selling by Flag Day.

I thought draft was tonight. Ugh
Sorry dude… although if it’s any consolation you were the person I was cursing most for stealing my picks… Kirby, Alcantara, Pepiot, and Marsee were on my radar or in my queue when you took them, and I think you got a steal on Yellich that late.
I think I auto drafted Stewart while picking my wife up. Didn’t realize I had him so picked another 1B eligible with my next pick and them I’m like hun why is this dude in utility. LOL
Hope those work out. Otherwise, I think I like my team? It can’t be much worse than last year I figure.
Though you all grabbed the closers I had queued up one round before I was going to take a 2nd one, guess I’ll be scrounging the wire for saves againt this year.
On an annoying note, the Yankees open the season the earliest of any team but can’t be bothered to put 2 pitchers they’ve known will be on the IL since before spring to start the season on you know the IL?

I HATE the IL games they all play!
As we break into May, a tip of the hat to YankeeTripper for having 6 of the top 9 MVPs according to Yahoo! and an impressive first month!
Most of my long shots have all come in. Rice and Stewart in particular and Trout’s healthy resurgence - knock on wood. Stewart was dumb luck on my part but I’ll take it.
Tough break for Skubal Snacks - which btw is an awesome name for the team.

I told her she had Crochet and Skubal as keepers and the first pick… she was golden. The jinx card is heavy with me.

My other league I was set to draft Skubal and Skenes back to back on the 10/11 turn but Skubal went with the 9th pick so I only got Skenes. Think my other pick was Tucker which has been a disappointment so far.

She just told me her other team is ‘Honey Nut Chourios’ and he, likewise, has not had the healthiest season. Good start last night, but little late for a season debut.
I have 4 starting pitchers going today and they are throwing against each other in the 2 games. What are the odds?
Well, you got your 2 wins at least (not great ERA though).
Hoping it will remain a good matchup the rest of the week!
I really can’t complain. My team has overperformed so far. Just waiting on the inevitable crash and burn.
