going 2 games.  F/A is void of good 2 game pitchers this week.  I did the next best thing and saw I was one true RP short, so I grabbed the Closer for the NY Mets the rest of the season.  Saves and Holds score points also.  Anyway, I'm back to having 4 RP that put up Saves and Holds.

You are in Tecmo, and if you get HOT this week, you move on to the leagues World Series next week.  I do not under estimate you.  You have won in football, and you are 2 weeks away from winning in baseball.  Forget the season records, it's all about who gets HOT or LUCKY this week.   My pitching isn't as good as what I drafted, a lot of injuries that I had to drop, and fill in.  That hurts me because I drafted pitching heavy and started season with worst hitting team in league.   I think I improved my hitters over the season, but did I improve them enough for Play-Off Championships ?   

It is all set up for a tough battle with you Tecmo.  I wish I had good starting pitchers to go 2 games this week, but the dice didn't roll that way,.  I scraped the bottom of the barrel to come up with 2 or 3 to pitch the first 2 days, but questionable if they give me any points. I'm in for a hard week with you Tecmo.

my team Cincy Red Bengals that finished first in their division had a great season record.  Then a bye week in pay-offs.  my Cincy Red Bengals did put up points, around 770, which is a lot in one week.  However Tecmo put up around 870 which is one of hottest weeks ever, and you aren't going to beat that.  I can at least say my team scored a ton of points also.

That said, in The World Series both teams start at zero, so it's whoever gets HOT.  So good luck to both.

I love Fantasy Baseball because at age 68, I'm not sitting around talking about guys that played 100 years ago like a lot of people my age.  It keeps me in the Now, which Seniors need to try to do to.  So hopefully I'm asked back next March.  

I'm sure next March the pitching stat error corrected, and pitchers go back to also getting hit with negative points,  The LM said he hit the wrong button and too many points per inning pitched, but once season started, too late to change it.  So Tecmo, that is why so many pitching points, I know you wondered, but normally this league pitching can be negative points and more risky.  Pre season LM honest erroor created a ton of pitching points, but that will go back to normal next season.  Still, I enjoyed playing again, and hope to be in March draft again.  

Congrats to Houndizzles and Tecmo Bengals in World Series.

Any plans to edit league settings?

I'm looking forward to the fun.

I may not keep anybody.  If everybody keeps a player, that would make me the only one with a 1st round draft pick, and there might be one heck of a player to grab.  I considered Valdez and Clase as my Keepers, but I think I should go with no keepers and see who is there in Rounds 1 and 2 and on.  Even with 2 keepers, other teams will have to put good players back in free agency as draft picks.  I like Valdez and Clase, but getting some hitting would be nice also. 

In baseball, you can add good players as season goes.  Fantasy Football is almost completely about the Draft and does your team stay healthy, there is not much free agent help.

We opened the league on ESPN over a month ago. I just spoke with Dier a couple days ago. Have to see who is in and who is out for the season. Ts, we will ramp up for FBB and get things rolling! I'm in a hell of a tight as far as keepers go. Tough decisions to make for my squad.

On a side note, our Reds are looking hungry this so far this Spring.
