So this trade almost went thru, until I made other teams aware of it. Nick Markakis and Michael Pineda FOR Max Scherzer and Max Kepler. Money is involved. First place would have gotten Scherzer. First place is the commish. Team he was trading with is his brother and is in last. Also pitcher stats are very over powered. Scherzer was #2 overall pic in league. The commish says the collusion is me for not letting the trade go thru. Also 7 out of 10 teams needed to veto trade which thank god happened.

Should I?

Since we're at the All-Star Break I wanted to do some analysis on pitchers that were "lucky" or "unlucky" based on BABIP, LOB%, GB%, HR/FB and the difference between ERA and xFIP.

Straight Cheese - Lucky/Unlucky

Cubs fan here. Was skeptical about drafting Bryant this year, yet still just couldnt help myself. Im trying not to over react to this horrible start, but his power seems to be gone and he cant even hit shitty pitching. I catch at least a few innings of most cubs games, and he just looks lost at the plate. Anyone know if any advanced stats show in his favor?? Someone talk me off the ledge here lol

So I’m not sure how long I want to wait on Dallas Keuchel to sign a contract for this season. Walker Buehler is available in my league and I really need another pitcher. Should I drop Keuchel and pick up Buehler?

My OF is loaded--Springer, haniger, d Peralta, castellanos, piscotty, d Smith jr. I'm adding another pitcher from the free agents. Would you drop Smith jr. or Piscotty? No one in my league will trade any pitcher of value right now. 16 team league.

Who has the higher upside?

I just got offered this. Really don't know what to do and if my vision is blurred by being a Yankee fan.

My offense is stacked. But unbalanced. Can’t figure out who to drop but Cruz seems like he lost something this year. I was to drop him for Tatis but his history has me second guessing myself. Any advice?

Sooo my friends and I wanted to try something off the beaten path to choose our draft order this year. So being that my friend just got a new puppy I said “let’s use the dog”. Kind of a joke at first but we rolled with it. Stuffed paper, with respective team names on them, with dog treats. Then one by one released her to get a name. Worked out great and was funny as hell!

I reactivated my league over the weekend and discovered that ESPN no longer allows commissioners to process trades for teams.

We hate snake drafts so I would manually trade picks around to have it in the order we want. And we’ve had guys with issues at the trade deadline so I used the tool to make the trade go through. No that power is eliminated.

If anyone can tell me I’m insane and point me in the right direction of how to do this, that’d be great!! I contacted ESPN and got a form letter response saying they don’t have that feature, despite it being there 3 months ago for football. Hopefully not too many people are impacted by this.
