Official RBI Fantasy Draft VI - Comment Thread

[Re-Peat]

Had to pick based on who did well, and your pitching staff killed it last season.  Since that's the only season I've seen I had to go with what I know.

You took my Barret  

Nah, I was going to take him earlier, but Doran was too good to pass up---for what was left at the time. Barret will get you some big hits if he starts.

Should be an interesting and fun season.

Our IF is kind of weak.  I think Herr will provide good value, and Lombardozzi did well last season and I'm hoping he continues the good work.  If either isn't working out though having Barrett available to shake things up will be nice.

Well, you'll be in a lot of tight games and you do have a superior SP staff. They'll have some off days, but they'll be on a lot. You're gonna be a grinder type team. If your 7-8 and holes can have a good and productive year, you'll be in good shape. If either one of them tanks or both, you'll won't be in the best shape.

Bear in mind that last year I didn't have the best 7-8 hole, and I had to make a couple of trades and I got lucky with that. I needed more pop to match up with the Sally Cunts since they had a really good offense and good pitching. I don't think I would have won last year without getting Gibson and O.Smith via trades. Then again, the Sally Cunts also traded to upgrade their offense. So you do have a good shot this year for the playoffs since you have the pitching. Our division is not going to have the most pop. Right now, it looks wide open.

Also RePeat, I put together a rom with the players on the Artichokes, turd's team, and your team so far. We are 3-0 against you, 1-1 against the Artichokes (blew them out and lost 2-1 in the other game), and I just beat Turd's team 9-6. So 5-1 in some scrimmages. Buckner and Doran are battling it out for a starting spot---fierce. There is a lot of pressure on us to win and our loyal fans only expect a championship since the standard is so high right now.

[Re-Peat]

Ha!  Let Barton work his magic on the lineup and you wont be 3-0 vs the Alliance.  You probably made Wilson a starter and leadoff hitter.

[Darky]

True....I'm still juggling my lineup around and all the players aren't set. Doesn't mean much really. I'm guessing Trammel will be your lead off uh hahaha.

[TβG]

McLane and Gantry are up in the draft.

haha, it was a 9 inning game...crazy. I just took a quick of two/thee from the Poopydicks and mercy ruled them one game. They did mercy rule us in the first game.

I'll try out your lineup on the rom. I'll have you play the Alliance, then the Poopydicks while I watch the hockey game.

[Darky]

Yeah Brad, you lost 9-4 against the Alliance, and then you beat the Poopydicks 26-20.

[Re-Peat]

I love this RBI watch game fantasy stuff.

But I've gotta say it's 3x more fun with a co-owner.  It's awesome to have someone to talk strategy with between rounds. 

[Darky]

Any chance you guys can make a pick soon, Gantry/McLane?

[TβG]

courtesy text sent to TBT.  i'm not sure what he's up to today.

[TβG]

he texted back.  i would expect a pick before 1pm dee-nee time.  just an educated guess. 

Turd, be on the lookout.

[TβG]

text sent.

[Darky]

I hope this draft gets done today. I really want to finish up the rom and run some scrimmages with the actual players.

[Nacho]

Don't do scrimmages.  Just start the season.

[Darky]

Don't do scrimmages.  Just start the season.

The season will begin more than likely on Wednesday or Thursday....maybe sooner if all the lineups come in promptly.

TBT won't need to be texted later. His next pick is Nolan Ryan since he needs a SP.

[Re-Peat]

Personally I like having time to run our own scrimmages so we can work out batting orders.

[Darky]

Scrimmage action in the last three games...

[TβG]

what's the name of the rom, so i can go do the preseason lineup and download it for myself?
