Yes, it was not unlike a little league game, except the likely Cy Young winner was on the mound. And had to be one of Matt Wieter's worst innings behind the plate, ever. I couldn't bear it after that inning. The mania w/bullpen usage that seems to prevail in the playoffs doesn't help watchability.

Nearly five hours to play a 9-inning game??? No thanks, even from a guy that has followed baseball closely for 50 years now. Just ridiculous.

I have to admit, watching a combo of a walk, K/passed ball, CI, and HBP might be history, but it’s not fun for me to watch, especially when mixed with 7 trips to the mound.
-
That is all well and good, but if you saw the inning in which consecutive Cub batters reached on an intentional walk, a strikeout/passed ball, catcher's interference and a HBP, then you saw history.

My solution to shorten games - a manager is allowed two pitching changes per game within any inning. If a manager brings in a third pitcher within any inning during the game, the penalty is the first batter he faces is automatically awarded first base. If we have a Girardi vs. Madden world series, we might see our first 6 hour 9 inning game without this rule.....

I love this old game of baseball but never thought I would say a 9-8 elimination game was unwatchable and boring. At one point I flipped to the baseball game during the NFL two minute warning timeout which is 3 minutes plus. In that 3 minute span I got to watch one pitch from Quintana, a pitcher known for working quickly. I did get to see him step off the rubber twice, catcher go to mound twice, batter step out of box.

McD - that was a tough one. no one could have predicted! great competition all year. congrats Bombo!! no need to congratulate Thor - anything but first would be a failure for him.

Knebel gave me 9.58 points/inning this year, after I picked him up in March from AvJ in exchange for a relatively untested outfielder. Good trade, right? Sadly, the OF was Aaron Judge. Good season, all.
-
Boys, I think we are done for the year. I will tally the standings and try to send something out tomorrow morning. Congrats to Bombo and Sano for strong finishes and thank you all for participating this year.

Heyward and Zobrist went yard tonite. And I started them. Should go buy a lottery ticket.

Hey Mike, please put all $33 on Kershaw. Maybe we’ll have a chance to knock off the king next year.

I'll definitely stay on through arbitration, and will work with Niv to find a way to allocate all $33 to Anand.

I'd also ask the other (non-defecting) owners to let me know whether you will be able to stay in the league next year, so we can gauge where we are at. The league has been very competitive this year and at least 2 of the 3 top spots will be claimed by owners who were not in the money last year. And 3rd place is entirely up-in-the-air with 8 days to go in the season, which is unprecedented for us.

Well that's a bummer. To lose an original/founding owner is a big loss. We will miss your ridiculous team names as well. If there is anything we can do to persuade you let us know - I'm sure Anand would happily pay your league dues next year for you. One thing I'd ask Mike is if you would please agree to stay on through arbitration in the event we can't source a new owner before then.

Congrats to Thor and the others who will finish in the money this year. I am going to bow out of the league after fhe season, so want everyone to have notice and lots of time to find a new owner. Been a nice run and a great time, but I'm dialing back my fantasy time. Time for new adventures!

Hey guys, for those of you in the office tomorrow around 4:30, Bombo will be making a guest appearance. Would be great to see you, if you have time. Some friendly banter like the old days. Too bad Venkat's not around... I loved offering ridiculous trades to see if he'd bite.

Hopefully, Fangraphs will catch up. Mejia started for the Indians today, even though FG has a big red X next to his name. I started him and he's 1-2 so far, so playing. But, they show him as not available and zero points.

Honestly don't think I've ever seen so many players up for auction at one time. Henry and I saw Fister throw his 1-hitter last week in Cleveland - lead off home run by Lindor, then nothing. Never threw a pitch over 88-89. Complete game in 89 pitches.

Typical Cespedes, he gets hurt immediately after I nominate him! Likely done for the season. Incredible!
-
Wait, what? Apparently, it's not just Darno, Mike also has a love-hate relationship with Cespedes. 14 minutes after picking up... he gone! And that's after dropping him about a month ago!

Actually, 2-6 is only separated by about 240 points. It's wide-open heading in the last few weeks.

Guys in positions 2-5: what do you need to get over the hump and win some money? Trading deadline is approaching fast! I stand ready to deal!

... and he's one of the less frequently cut guys on my roster.

If my calculations are correct, Hopeless Stromantic has picked up and/or cut Travis D'Arnault approximately 37 times over the last few years.
