Bengals Board Fantasy Baseball (The Show)

[kevin]

I didn't score much in any of my Fantasy Leagues last week.

Hang in there Tecmo, often a low scoring week is followed by a high scoring week. It is the rollercoaster that Baseball Fantasy is every year. You are not out. If you string together some weeks of wins, you are right back up there. I look for your team to get hot.

I still lead everybody in points scored, but the problem is I lead everybody by a mile in points scored against me. I have not had a week where my opponent had trouble scoring. Every week I have about 450 to 500 points scored by my opponent. So I'm only one game over .500 in great part because nobody is close to me in points scored against them. Look at Standings Stats. Houdizzles now Mash Unit will also lay the points on me as always. I'm not crying, but it is hard to have a good record when you are way in front of everybody in points scored against you this season. Every team scores out the wazzo when they play me, every week of this season. All other teams have 5,000 points scored on them this season, I've had over 6,000 points scored against me. There is no Defense for that. Everybody gets Red Hot when they play me. If I don't score 500, I don't even have a chance, because each week I get 450 to 600 points put up by my opponents.

It was like two drunks stumbling through the parking lot each trying to find their car and keys before the other. At least both teams crested the 400 number.

On to Cincinatti!

I'm the Dizzles. I just changed it temporarily in jest when my pitchers and then my outfielders started dropping like flies at a bar-b-cue (me and you, stinky pinky, pew-pew-pew).

 Sorry, every time I hear or see the word bar-b-cue it reminds me of The Green Mile. Best of luck, Kevin.

Another day, another player to the IL for me. Nuts!

We are in a close one. My pitchers are struggling also. We could all use a batch of pitchers in free agency get hot, because we could all use more pitching.

Definitely, pitching is slim and none right now in free agency.

You got me this week.  See, I told you everybody scores points when they play me.  Nobody has 200 to 300 point weeks on me.  Everybody that plays me racks up 450 to 600 points.  That's a fact.  Not one low scoring week against me this season.  I lead the league in points scored against them by a mile.   

I'm still one of the leaders in points scored, if not the leader, but an off week for me this week.  My pitchers got clobbered this week.  It happens.  

So you got me this week.  Pointless to make moves for a big run Sunday.  It is end of month.  I grabbed best pitcher and hitter I could to start July.  Not an overhaul, but a couple changes to try to start July with best team I can have.  

So I go into July at .500 on the season.  For all the points I've scored this season, I should have more wins, but no team has had as many points scored against them as my team. not even close.  It's hard to win when every team has their hot weeks against you all season.  I told you that you would score points against me, everybody else does. 

I added Ortiz pitching OK for Pirates, and added Delong who was All-Star SS / 2nd for Cardinals now doing OK for White Sox. Not earth shaking moves. but maybe they fill some needs going forward.

I almost grabbed Eduardo Rodriguez for Arizona now a few weeks ago. Word was he would pitch in July. Now word is he may start rehab in late July maybe. That is how the injured pitchers are this season. Either out for the season, or they may come back try to pitch in August or September, which doesn't help much in Fantasy of shorter regular season. I've got old men Verlander and Kershsaw on my IL, but I don't look for them to come back and pitch much this season. One team I have Trout on IL, and he is another one who keeps having rehab setbacks and probably not much this season. After losing Bieber early, I put some hopes on a comeback by Verlander or Kershaw, but both look too over the hill to pitch anymore. As for now, they don't hurt me on my 2 IL spots, but I'm no longer hoping to get any points out of them.

Again, we could all use these MLB teams bringing up young bloods from the Minors second half of season, because these veteran Tommy John surgery pitchers just aren't cutting it. We could all use some Minor League players brought up and added to our Free Agent options.

I got lucky yesterday and my hitters went off. I was watching the Dodgers and Giants on FOX. Glasnow was screwing the pooch and was pulled after 3.1 innings. I was frustrated about it because I kept him over Elly. Which still pisses me off because immediately after our draft Tatis was listed as an OF. Going into the draft both Elly and Tatis were listed as SS. As much as I like Elly, I couldn't see keeping two SS's. Anyways, I digress. I logged in to see how bad Glasnow had screwed me and seen that my hitters had went off. 

Tecmo digging in for a much-needed W! Sid, viscous!

A nice big -21 by Sewald last night and another gem by Lance Lynn with a -42 pretty much cancelled Christmas for me this week.

[TecmoBengals]

My season is definitely over. The lone, hopefully bright spot, is that I have Skenes as a keeper in '25.

Hard pass. 

[coachmcneil71]

This Hinds kid is going nuclear!

[coachmcneil71]

Getting closer to the playoffs! Should be a good finish.

[coachmcneil71]

Playoffs! Hell of a first rd. I thought Kevin had DDs cooked going into Wednesday. Crazy! I managed to get by a tough Navarre team.
Tecmo had a rough year. From the Championship last season to the basement this year, ouch...lol You had some bad luck along the way this year losing Acuna.

Onto the DC round. Gonna be a tough finish!

Congrats to Ohio Knights winning World Series in a close on over Coach McNeil Houndizzles.

It was a good year of baseball. A good tough league. Season and Play-Offs showed that.

It's a long way from March Draft to last day of September. I think we all need a break now, but come March we will be fired up for Draft again.

Dune Dogs and Ohio Guz made Final Four. Navarre Redbirds and my Cincinnati Red Bengals were Wild Cards. Not having Grayson Rodriguez or Hunter Greene end of season hurt my Pitching big time.

Ohio Knights and Houndizzles played a close World Series with Ohio Knights winning the long, hard season.

See you all again in March. I have to think Aaron Judge will be a Keeper for me. Maybe also Elly De La Cruz. It was nice having both, made daily line-up pretty easy.
