I've always wondered why one of these new age managers haven't had a punching bag installed at the end of the dugouts so players don't punch coolers , punch brick walls, throw bats on field etc..You could even paint the likeness of an umpire ( joe west ) on one . Ynoa out two months...

MAY 16, 2:07 pm: Fortunately, Seager will not require surgery, Roberts announced this afternoon (via Fabian Ardaya of the Athletic). His specific timetable for a potential return remains unclear, although he will miss at least a month, per Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times.

Seager only out four weeks
-
He is heading for the glue factory Henry
-
Well if anyone in the arms race thinks Blackmon has some bouncecback, make me an offer.
-
Wow judge trout bellinger added in one day
-
Got ourselves a good ole arms race
-
Charles had to act today ,as Cole starts tomorrow vs Texas and I'm sure he wanted those points
-
I feel like Robert Johnson, I went to the crossroads
-
Nice trade…but Fred weren’t you going to trade me those guys?

Now maybe he’ll get enough starts at SS to be eligible next year.

I really lucked out there. Especially considering that McKinstry is the kind of player I'm always trying to acquire.
-
Well Henry , he has so far not had a plate appearence for me while Austin Riley has got you points and you flipped Riley Greene for Vaughn and I can't get Riley Greene back now as Mikey is very fond of him.
-
And they were right. The injuries began to pile up, as they do, and McKinstry stepped in wonderfully. In his second game, he hit an inside-the-park homer, cracked three hits and a sac fly in his second start, played whatever position the team needed respectably, and the Dodgers went 13-4 in the 17 games he appeared in.
The Dodgers are 4-13 in the 17 games played since he got injured.
-
Nice Zach McKinstry mention in The Athletic:
McKinstry became the last person the Dodgers brought West after spring training. He wasn’t supposed to play a huge role on this team that some people were calling potentially the best in baseball history, but they thought he could fill in admirably in either corner outfield spot, at second base, or even at third base if the team was in a pinch.
-
And of course no milb last year . On another note Cubs and sox get to go to 60 % attendance may 24
-
I was stymied in that regard with milb starting May 1, and the few I had are still largely unknowns no hype about them yet
-
It's a contradiction somewhat
-
Lesson learned, have deep amount of cheap contracts even when going for it, as trade currency
-
Yes, you should.

I should trade pat Bellinger and Cole now lol
-
Regarding white sox, I had no idea their pitching would be this good
-
Make Kevin sweat that his record is in jeopardy
-
Some of the best trading I've seen in my 4 years here . Kudos to Pat . Two huge hauls of top points getters
-
I hope that’s not a Fred-prediction kiss-of-death (he hasn’t killed the White Sox yet, so maybe there’s hope). Chuck still has >500 points on me, and I’ve still got mostly the same old pitching staff. Though maybe someone with a top-tier SP is interested in a keepable top-tier SS?

Pat is on a nice run, but the top teams still have plenty of surplus to buy loans with. Finding the loans is going to get harder though, as there are two less sellers now.
-
Time to back up the truck lol
-
I declare Pat champion , and may eclipse Kevin's magic season . Complete new team 🙌
-
I too am a pitching skeptic, but year in and year out my Chaim Bloom pitching staffs don't do enough.
-
As for Chuck’s rotation... foundations can’t be built on sand. (MLB arms are sand. Here today; gone tomorrow)
-
Main thing I take away from all the messages this afternoon is that Fred is, and somehow remains more optimistic about Dustin May’s career than Dustin’s mother is. Must have quite a thing for curly redheads
-
Taris in covid il for 10 days, the hits keep coming . Bellinger has been out over a month and no points yet from McKinstry who I went after to cover points for bellinger
-
Trades work for Charles
-
He traded for everyone of them except Eflin.
-
It's amazing how Charles has been able to acquire a full staff of aces
-
To get even a 5.0 ppi SP that takes the ball every 5 days is costly as hell via trade unless it's some aged vet with high contract you rent for a year
-
The impossible dream is impact SP . I've forever been 2 quality sp short and it's near impossible to prospect them . Though I had my snell/buehler with May . That injury Sent me into depression
-
Since I started I wanted to outscore Kevin's massive point total and also win back to backs
-
I get that, but I'd love to have a healthy ( key word this year) loaded team of young cheap players , where I would only have to make tinkering trades not overhauls . Probably fantasy island 🏝 there
-
The extra rules in Capped are there to promote dynasty style play and protect teams from having to sell all their assets to win. I think it would be more rewarding to build a dynasty here (does 1st-3rd-1st count?), but Capped it set up to make it easier.
-
I needed big years from.may and cease and a few surprise break out hitters. Not folding my hand but realistically 3rd is best outcome
-
I'm the capped league im.more pragmatic and use that as go for it every year . Not as attached to guys . This league is ,to me, more my dynasty league
-
600 points is a lot to run down. And Fred and Charles have lot's of bullets, should they choose to fire them.
-
I wouldn't anoint Pat champion either ,lot if season left , despite his huge splash today
-
And I traded an $18 J-Ram in 2018 to fend off a surging Hitch. So, yeah, I'd trade a $16 Tatis Jr if I thought it would win me the Ship.
-
I want the ultimate prize , the Kevin dynasty
-
Even when I was just in this league, I've never been an empire builder. I want to win or rebuild. Rebuilding is fun.
