I opened my fantasy league by forgetting to set my lineup. I'll never criticize a GM or manager again

Didn't Joe Maddon screw up a lineup card recently? It happens

don't tell this to our audience, but life is richer once you give up on fantasy baseball, HankLloydWright.

wait, i said the soft part loud.

You're a quitter, Jay?

I quit fantasy baseball after winning my league in 2011. When my now-19 moth old daughter needs help with her draft list, I'll come out of retirement, but until then, aw hell naw

I'm so excited you guys are here!
What games are you watching?

Bouncing around a bit, but PHI/ATL right now.

I'm watching the Yankees-Blue Jays, with a charging iPad on Rangers-Astros at my feet (cord isn't long enough)

I've considered quitting ... but I still enjoy it

I went from fantasy to Scoresheet, where the drafts take a month and are a special kind of hell.
5:21
I always found that in March, when everybody else was drafting, I had too much writing and previewing to do to focus on my own teams. I'm just a selfless guy that way, i guess. Also, not all that good at it, the league win notwithstanding.

I play in simleague baseball. Special kind of nerd.

Fantasy is the gateway for fans of a team to become fans of the sport.
AvatarJay Jaffe

I think that's a fair point. I'm not discouraging anybody from doing it, just noting that it's hard to do if you're in this professionally and need to keep up with the actual games as a top priority.
5:23
writing fantasy stuff (Fantasy Baseball Index, primarily) provided a good portion of my income once i made the jump to full-time writing. I'm grateful for that, for sure.

Nobody watching BOS-TB? Sale is dealin'
Travis Sawchik
5:24
I take Chris Sale for granted ... I just assume he'll go seven with double-digit Ks. So filthy
What's most amazing about Sale is he's stayed healthy. We know nothing.

What do you think of Teheran Eric?
Eric A Longenhagen
5:25
Never been a fan. Actually did that thing I do sometimes where I write up a big leaguer so you can see what the pitch grades translate to as far as role/WAR are concerned: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/scouting-julio-teheran-major-league-st...

Donaldson's shoulder ...
Those throws are looking rough
rkn
5:27
Donaldson's arm is hurt
Travis Sawchik
5:27
Donaldson's throwing looks painful
Nic

So sevy just gave up his first hit of the game.Could he be a under the radar Cy Young contender this year?
AvatarJay Jaffe
5:28
I picked him to win the AL Cy, so pray for him to survive the season intact.
Oddball Herrera

Wow, that Donaldson video looks like vintage Ryan Zimmerman
Travis Sawchik
5:30
Yeah, not great
JD

Archer throwing a good changeup this afternoon. Is that his missing piece?
Travis Sawchik
5:31
I've seen a few. Good fade
5:32
STANTON ALERT
Six Ten
5:32
Danny Duffy is such a strange pitcher. Looks just unhittable much of the time, and then will throw in an inning where he doesn't just get hit but looks like someone with no business being on a major league roster.
Travis Sawchik
5:33
When Duffy his right he's pretty damn good ... but he's not right very often

Travis Sawchik

He's OK

Stanton RBI double. This Yankees lineup is going to score 8,000 runs.
