The real answer is none as it's been a week and 4-5 good gms next week COMPLETELY changes things. I realize we can't just say wait-wait-wait on everything early on, but we have to acknowledge that 6 games is *nothing* in the context of a season and just bc these are the first 6 gms doesn't give them more weight or point to any inherent troubles just bc the numbers are bad.

This is why I stress that churning your last 2 spots in 10 and 12 teamers *will* burn you at times bc you'll cut a LoMo for Davidson and they'll go opposite ways immediately, but that's why you just keep churning. You either commit to patience with your guys or churn and take on the risk of jumping off too soon but also having a better shot to find this year's Justin Smoak or whomever

Sporer chats are some of the best chats.

Ty ty, I really appreciate that!

Whats the best way to go about getting better cards/players on Diamond Dynasty? Was always just a RTTS player, never really got into DD much until this year

Paul Sporer

4:01

Play Conquest first. It's v. the CPU and gets you some nice cards. After you get some cards, try the Event, too (it ends on the 10th, though, so time is ticking there). Ppl have been getting 9 and 12 wins with some regularity which gets you a gold at 9 and diamond at 12

Is Bour for Kingery an overpay?

Paul Sporer

4:01

No, not if you're a Kingery believer

4 innings of bullpen make endgames drag on and on ... bad for the fans

Paul Sporer

4:02

Completely fair. Pitching changes can really lengthen games.

I like the mound visit limitations and I think policing length of replay would help a lot. Can't say you only get X changes bc then you're putting players at risk, but I agree it can be tedious and annoying af

Daniel

4:02

Do you not prefer OOTP to The Show?

Paul Sporer

4:03

Don't have a preference. I get different things from both. OOTP is a full on sim managing an entire organization and The Show is on field play. Pretty into both of em

Moltar

4:03

Yo shouts to fantrax tho. We got proxy FAAB bids (ebay style, you only pay as much as the next highest bid was) this season which is pretty great. Gonna have to ask my commish about game score in the offseason.

Paul Sporer

4:04

They're really good. And their service is so sharp. If you have things you want, they do all they can to accommodate and quickly, too.

Supe fun would be Meg Rowley on the podcast I bet, make it happen!

Paul Sporer

4:04

I'm just gonna pretend this is Meg under an fake handle lol

PaperBoi

Drop Wacha in favor of someone like Folty or Triggs? Or hold to see if the velo recovers??

Paul Sporer

4:04

Boooo repeat question asker boooooooo

Joe

4:04

Lester change your mind at all yesterday?

Paul Sporer

4:05

Nah, he's gonna have some great starts. You can't put up a full season 4.33 (his ERA last yr) without em, but I think he's pretty blah overall

Teamwins

4:06

New stat for pitchers: team wins start.

Paul Sporer

4:06

ya that could work. we already rely on pens and lineups anyway, why not just go all the way

Erli

4:06

Can Julio Teheran bounce back? new ballpark and worse command year by year

Paul Sporer

4:07

He's not THIS bad, but he's pretty meh so I'm fine moving on in 10 and 12-teamers for sure. Not even an auto-hold in 15-teamers (and this is from a one-time big back of Teheran)

Trade Raisel Iglesias for Luis Castillo in 12-tm roto 5x5, even if my other closers are Soria and Kela? Thinking I can get saves later on this season with trades.

Paul Sporer

4:07

yes I'd do that

Turgid

4:08

Wait, I don't understand this Twitch thing. You're going to play baseball video games from 6pm to 6am and people are going to watch you play???? That's a thing?

Paul Sporer

4:08

"and what's with these people on my lawn? GET OFF MY LAWN!!"

4:09

How is it different than coming in here and asking questions and reading my answers to other people's questions? With Twitch you get the added bonus of hearing my annoying voice, seeing my dumb face, and watching some MLB The Show action!

Henry Rowengartner

Quintana for Benintendi fair? 12 teamer H2H Points.

Paul Sporer

4:09

Si!

Slamboni

4:09

Paul quick I need trade help! AL only, Faria and Matt Chapman for Hanley, Betances and Miggy! (and should I ask for Hanley or Derek Fisher or Soler)?

Paul Sporer

4:09

Totally fair. I lean side B

4:09

We are a long way from a different Davidson but us fantasy baseballers don’t have time to wait! Over-react season is in full swing

Paul Sporer

4:10

No, I get that you have to react quicker these days. But you buy Davidson acknowledging that nothing is really different at this pt. Goes back to the point about churning and losing sometimes

DDS

4:10

When Calhoun comes up, do I lose playing time returning from injury?

Paul Sporer

4:10

No, I don't think DeShields loses his time to injury

4:10

MVP 05 compared to The Show?

Paul Sporer

4:11

C'mon. MVP 05 was amazing, but it's 13 yrs old. Every iteration of The Show on PS4 murders MVP by a lot. The nostalgia is great and the game was ELITE, but we've advanced a ton
