Also, with fantasy baseball fresh on our minds, please feel free to let me know if you have any proposed rule changes. They can be put in here or emailed to me at tdxxvkc@gmail.com at any time.

We already have a couple proposals out there.

2027 Rule Proposals

Wins vs. QS
AVG vs. OBP vs. OPS

I will try to see if the season can get ended a week earlier. Maybe this year, I should try to directly message one of the ESPN fantasy baseball personalities vs. just messaging support. This is my annual pursuit.

Hopefully, this league will be fired up in normal time with no lockout. Regardless, we will be back as soon as baseball is.

I just sent you an email with the payout amounts and confirming your Venmo. Please reply and confirm it is correct, so I can send you your money. Thanks!

Feel like these four teams are in the top of the standings most years.

Yeah, I don't blame you at all - everyone knew the rules going in. I don't think ESPN can do a true 1400 IP hard cap, so the final day (in theory) is unlimited innings. The problem it can create is where you have multiple teams at 1399 going into Sunday, and then everyone splurges on 30 innings and the whole season comes down to a bunch of bottom-end SP's.. Half of which are already mentally in Cancun and the other half getting pulled early to get ready for MLB playoffs.

It's just such a fickle day on the MLB calendar and it has way too much sway on the final standings imo..

The rule kind of stinks, but it is basically up to 1,399 innings pitched + unlimited on the last day.

I guess it sort of creates a hard cap around 1,430 IP though is one way to look at it.

Yeah, same. The better pitching I acquired as well had some duds. Mariners starters, yikes.

But yeah, trying to steal every point I can.

I didn’t need the FAAB and was trying to buy speed even if I overpaid.

Can I accept in a couple days? His next start is not until Monday, July 27th.

My bats have been so sick. Now, I just need to add speed and starting pitching without losing that edge somehow lol.

Damn, I wish you accepted my trade for Miz lol. He’s the best pitcher in baseball.

Sent you an offer for Miz (you previously sent it to me).

Also, does anyone want to stash Dylan Crews?

Reverting to wins has been a close vote in the past. Happy to revisit that in the 2027 preseason. Gives a little more value to relievers also.

I think I enjoy OPS, but I get how it overpowers the sluggers. I should write these down in the second post of the thread to remember next March.
