Fantasy RBI 2017 Game Thread

[Darky]

That has to be the most total runs given up. Also, without a doubt that was the most runs given up in a complete game. This thing is going 7!

World Series Game 4, EZ Leads 2-1

:fist pump:

Was watching this with Arie last night at bed time and trying to explain a Fantasy Baseball RBI league to a ten year old is way more difficult than you would think. 

"So there's a guy out in California who plays the games for you?"
"Oh, he just lets the computer do it and records it?"
"Why would he do that?"
"What's the point?"

Trying to justify all the questionable decisions/hobbies you make in your life to a child can be a real wake up call.

Son, daddy is a nerd

I saw that the game was posted right before school was letting out. I was watching on my phone while the kids were at their lockers. A few saw it and asked. Their general reaction wasn't too shocked, I think it's because of Twitch and streaming

Game 5, EZ @ CS, Series Tied 2-2

[Shooty]

Shit.  The bullpen really fucked up that quality start from Gooden.

[TempoGL]

😎 let's clinch it. GL, shooty

Game 6



EZ Listeners Lead, 3-2.

[TempoGL]

What a finish.  I was worried that we were gonna blow it after being a batter away from mercy ruling the Canadian Shooties on two separate occasions.  Fitting that Brookens drove in the game winning run after a disappointing season.

GGs, Shooty.  I'm looking forward to seeing a ten team version of this soon.

[nomaaa]

well done. congrats sir

[Shooty]

What a game.  Congrats Tempo!

Fucking Jack Clark hit ZERO home runs the entire playoffs.  The absolute worst!

[Reds]

Feels like I won that trade.  And as a result, the entire league. 

[Darky]

Congrats Tempo! What a way to win the whole damn thing on a throwing error! Cool also that you pulled this off in your rookie season as an owner and your draft strategy proved to workout.

[Darky]

Too bad you're winless against the might Empire!

[BeefMaster]

Holy shit, what a game.

Some sketchy pinch-hitter usage by the EZ Listeners, letting Stanley bat for himself in the bottom of the 8th only up 3 after doing basically the same thing with Gooden the previous game.  I'm gonna have to go back to that old post of Ultimate's and see how exactly that logic works.

Does the computer ever pinch hit for the pitcher when the team is ahead?  I don't remember seeing that happen.

[BeefMaster]

For whatever reason I was thinking it was basically the same logic as bringing in a relief pitcher, but I guess I could easily be mistaken about that.  Logically, you'd think it SHOULD be the same, given that it's pretty stupid to let a guy bat and then immediately take him out of the game anyway.
