Is this the year for the GLADIATORS?

Yeah, I had a couple of good nights, but it will be tough to catch the Edgewood Eagles, as long as he starts two pitchers every night.

Obviously if he runs out of innings early, he will be caught.

Maybe he doesn't know about the innings limit? He's +68 already!

I did well last night, but Badabings did even better!

I emailed him today just to make sure he knows about the limit JR

Good idea. He's obviously a good, active player, so we don't want him to be upset when he finds out he's out of innings.

I remember you told me that each excess inning amounted to two points, was it?

I once did some math and figured that, on average, every inning pitched was about 1.5 to 2 points. Obviously on the average.

He does do exclusively head to head leagues ordinarily, so he may have overlooked the innings thing. On the other hand, as you said his past Yahoo activity is outstanding, so he is pretty bright. It would surprise me if he didn't know, but you never know.

Hey JR - you were right, I wrote him and he was somewhat fuzzy on how innings limits work in a full season league.

In a weekly head to head league innings are irrelevant. You just put everyone in that you can, then it resets after a week.

I advised him to just put 5 SPs in, and leave it unless an injury or sucking occurs. 5 starting pitchers for a full season would add up to less than 1500 innings. So if he does that his +68 will gradually go down and down.

Good thing you contacted him, then.

Hey, I got a CGSO from Martin Perez this afternoon!

Personally, I think yahoo is doing a terrible job showing who is the starting pitcher that day quick enough. I have 3 starting pitchers on the bench because none were shown to be starting this morning.

I had that problem last year. Made me mad to miss starts. They should be up at least a day in advance.

Uh-oh. I looked today, and saw that Yer Out Tito is closing in on me!

Strasburg started today, but I had him on the bench b/c he wasn't listed last night, and they are playing now

25 points I can't get back!

I hate that too. It happens though.

Basically, I am very reluctant to ever move my top starters out of the SP position, even if they aren't pitching. Try to use your lower guys to go to the bench.
