None. You’ve probably rejected a dozen offers from me. You also have the fewest moves in the league, which usually results in being a bottom feeder. Well done.

Probably why he’s doing better.

This still strikes me as a curious amount of shade when the few worthwhile players on your roster came via trades with me. Devers has been raking for a month. Kershaw, Berrios & Wacha are all in the top 200. Yelich is top 50, but you’ve mysteriously chosen to leave him in your starting roster when he’s been DTD for three days in a row… leaving Hoerner on your bench when he went yard today.

Sorry you’re in 11th place, but the [shirt]ty players on your roster didn’t come from me.

Devers has been good lately, I’ll give you that. But he kinda sucked right after the deal. Remember, you tried to sell me in that he will hit for a higher avg than Olson. I was skeptical. Right now, Olson is actually better in that category. I’ll take Devers’ power numbers though.

Yelich, I normally have started him every game, but it’s been a busy week, ff football has started and once you're buried, it kind of makes you check out a little bit. Nico hasn’t done too much over the past month, so a HR got benched. It happens.

I also gave you good players in return, the players you wanted. You got Witt, who is top 10. I had to negotiate for Wacha and Berrios. Your initial offers didn’t include them. You wanted to trade me Wilmer Flores. Out there right now, no takers.

Maybe ima doesn’t feel like going back and forth?

Look, it’s all good, but I just think you’re super persistent and some of the time, I feel like the justifications you make are off base a little bit. For instance, at one point you said FP’s suggestions are trash, but then you used that same site to try to justify a trade to me.

Someone also mentioned talking trash, so I thought I’d accommodate. What else do I have to play for.

Next year, assuming you’ll have me back after this exchange, I think we should increase the innings limit. It’s not like there are a lot of great pitchers out here people can stream.

I was much further down than you are and have gained 27 points in the past 6 weeks or so. “Checking out” is a cop out.

This is why I lowered the limit from last season - only 3 managers reached it last year, and those that did found themselves streaming a lot of not “great” pitchers.

[Quincy Varnish]

I wonder how many inactive pitchers ARCY will have on his active roster by season’s end.

The count is currently 5. Six, if you count the mysterious presence of Andre Pallante.

And Springer… a top 20 player overall hitting .391 with 6 HR since coming off the IL… still sitting in the IL spot with Carlos Narvaez playing in a UTIL spot.

Bugs me when people just bail like this. Lazy.

Eovaldi - IL
Vasquez - NA
Heaney - NA
Halvorsen - IL
Senga - NA
Buehler - NA

Pallante gets the ball again today, and Springer (ranked #4 in the last 30) remains on his IL.

Lazy AF. Kind of insulting because he’s active and knows he hasn’t touched it.

Maybe not insulting, but it does have an impact on the point totals in the upper ranks.

I feel like the justifications you make are off base a little bit. For instance, at one point you said FP’s suggestions are trash, but then you used that same site to try to justify a trade.

I’m sorry about your feelings. FP is trash in many ways, but their projections can be useful if they’re based on three year averages. There are distinctions one must independently make in this game - e.g. if it’s a good idea to roster useless players with names you recognize (Patrick Corbin, Giancarlo Stanton). FP would be helpful to those who need to shed players from their roster that offer little value (Jake Cronenworth, Addison Barger).

Where FP and all projections fail is in evaluating young players, or identifying players with emerging value - namely those who have inherited closers’ roles, or are on the verge of doing so. I think you’ll find that my position on this has been very consistent, if the distinctions are recognized.

I would say FP is generally useful, but it has short comings when it comes to evaluating the value of players emerging during the season.

Has FP projected you anywhere but #1 all season?

It consistently said I had the best roster in the league. That's somewhat being borne out as we come down to the end here.

It said the same for the majority of last year, you know.

Losing my 1-1 pick of Acuna early in the season kind of did me in last year.

Losing my 2nd (Yordan) and 3rd (Ragans) round picks made my year tough sledding.

Yeah, I still have 11 of my top 13 picks (having traded McLain and Chapman). Picking up Goodman (subsequently traded) and Abbott (subsequently traded and gotten back) in March and Horton in July were key finds.

I only really lost Sale for two months, which I've been able to overcome so far.

Dude, I’ve been setting my lineup every day all season. as I said, this week was busy which prevented me from checking it as much as I normally do.

Not using it as an excuse overall, but normally I would be more persistent.

That Robbie Ray trade might work out? I gave you a lot, but see Xander already got hurt.

You’re the one that mentioned feelings. Your remark suggested that my trades are damaging to other teams. It’s basically the same tune sdaltons was singing last year, as he wallowed in the lower standings. I found your remark surprising, particularly because the trades we’ve made this year have been to your benefit.

Sure, but that’s just an expression. Clearly you have feelings too right? You seem offended.

The trades have benefitted you too, so don’t act like you were doing me a favor.

I was honestly just having some fun. I don’t think you are trying to rip people off, but your hard-head negotiating and persistence can be a little much. I think in every trade we’ve made, you’ve gotten who you wanted from the get go. For the deal to benefit me, often times I have had to go back and forth with you. That’s all I’m saying. Don’t like my opinion, fair enough.

The FP thing, I guess, but that isn’t context your provided before.

Well it’s a negotiation… you’ve described how most negotiations transpire. Back and forth.

There hasn’t been a back-and-forth w/ Imadangman. If there had been, he might have a closer or two and be in first instead of fourth. He’s rejected everything without counteroffers.

I’m not offended.
