Stock Fantasy Stats/Standings

[Mr. Blubbo]

Stock I want you to switch my lineup and move up Nokes to the #2 spot, Baines to the #9 spot and move everyone else up one top make room for Baines.

I'll show all of you!

[Gantry]

Local radio stations are calling for Coach Rack's head.  Fans are complaining about his perplexing decision to go with Baines #2, despite the fact that he blows goats.  And lest we forget Matt Nokes in the second round...

I'd hate to live in Rackville

You usually don't want your worst 2 hitters hitting #1 and #2.

[Attezz]

I believe the request was to have Baines hitting in the #9 spot.

[BDawk]

Rack is starting to remind me of Rich Kotite

[Stock]

My bad....  I still expect Stock's apology about Pettis on my desk before the end of the business day...

If he has anymore multi HR games, I may have no choice.
I may have to change MO to Coleman (or nokes...)

Excellent.

Also, maybe we should start piling on Coleman some for being a truly horrible draft choice?

Yes, Coleman is the official worst draft pick!  He is truly brutal.  I have never seen so many infield pip-ups in my life.  Simply pathetic.  Also, he has just enough power to hit a fast groundball so he can be thrown out, but can't even get a pop-up out of the infield.

Also, Pettis' last game, he was a single short of the cycle.
Fucking Pettis.

[WeatherMatt]

To add even MORE fuel to the fire, and assuming the stats are correct, Dave Bergman (Rack's current 9 hitter) has only one home run, good enough for second to last in the league.

Seriously, how in the world did he beat Slim?

[Gantry]

How the fuck is the Burly Sac hitting over .820? 

[OctoFranco]

Seriously, how in the world did he beat Slim?

It's like TB vs NYY.  Those Ractacular turds just slaughtered my 2nd place Generalisimos now.  What the fuck.

Seems that the rest of Rack's team (other than 1-2) is good enough to win games.  Coleman/Baines went 9/14 with 2 tripples against Slim.  Unfortunately for most games this year, you get a gauranteed 0-spot every time through the lineup, when you have bergmn, coleman, baines w/ consecutive abs.
I think his line-up will be much stronger when Baines gets dropped in the order.

[Shooty]

How did my team have the best hitting ranking yet I am 9th in SLG?  Stock, you better step it up.

[Mr. Blubbo]

The Racktacular Nation gets its second win in a row.  Keep it up Stock.  Show all these non-believing mofo's that the Racktacular Nation is for real!

Secondly, in defense of:

1) Baines hitting #2, I was hoping that Coleman would get on more giving Baines the lefty hit which would improve on his play and make him more likely to get a hit in which MAC could come up and clear the bases with a HR.  But if Coleman isn't getting on then Baines sucks at the #2 hole.

2) Coleman not getting on base is a skill.  Some have it, some don't...  Oh and I recall 2-4 other teams say that they thought Coleman would slip to them and that they wanted Coleman. 

So try to hit the ball to the gap between 3rd and SS and Coleman is on base every time.  Not sure why he is hitting so low v.s. the PC.  Makes no sense other than he keeps popping up which he shouldn't do.


Either way just keep winning!

[Gantry]

How the fuck does Santiago have a higher SLG than potatoes? 

[Shooty]

Everyone should do a review of there team so far.  Here's a quick synopsis of the SkullFuckers:

Franco: 0.553 AVG, 4 HR: about what I expected and his 4 HRs are a nice plus for a guy with a power rating in the low 740's.

Wilfng: 0.591 AVG, 5 HR: OK

Leonard: 0.644 AVG, 9 HR: nice production from the fourth round pick

Bell: 0.698, 8 HR: disappointed with this #1 pick's lack of power. 

EDavis: 0.634 AVG, 5 HR: disappointing.  SLG is lower than Wilfong's and he's not showing his power (5HR) or speed (no triples)

DwEvans: 0.690 AVG, 12 HR: MVP of the SkullFuckers.  No complaints

Gedman: 0.564 AVG, 6 HR: surprising as Gedman is killing the ball in fighton's Fantasy league.  Since his average is lower here, I can only draw the conclusion that Stock < Computer

Grich: 0.700 AVG, 6 HR: wicked.  Makes me rethink my Grich-benching strategy in RBI alltogether.

Youngblood: 0.650 AVG, 4 HR: good production from the 9th pick.  However, he is a horrible pitcher.
