I thought about the Mets too.G-Man wrote:My brain is telling me the Giants but my heart is telling me the Mets.
Let's go Mets go.
Same with the Red Sox! They only scored 1 run (in a win) on Monday, but 11 yesterday and 9 today.G-Man wrote:This blind squirrel finally found his acorn. The Pirates are going nuts this week!
I just realized how much separation there is between the top 10 and the bottom 3. That's insane!G-Man wrote:That's been my secret strategy so far too but I keep picking the wrong max-games teams. The Brewers did pretty well for me though. At this rate, I need everyone ahead of me to have two bad weeks in a row for me to catch up.Metalmarsh89 wrote:Also, one of my strategies for picking thus far has been to pick teams that play 7 games during the week rather than having Thursday off. Fortunately, Boston falls into this category this week.
I think so too. I noticed that they play the lowly Braves, as well as the Yankees next week.Sloonei wrote:Well picked.Metalmarsh89 wrote:I'll take the Boston Red Sox this week.
The Cubs are also an incredibly talented team. :Pbirdwithteeth11 wrote:Also, I think I'm just going to start picking teams that play the Reds every week. The Cubs series made me realize just how bad this team could potentially be this year.
The Braves need to win a few games at some point though. We need to start getting competitive for the #1 pick for next year at some point!
Not really. The Reds had a stellar Week 1, but they're having an incredibly rough Week 2.G-Man wrote:Alright you baseball people- is it even worth looking at stats yet in helping me pick? Is ERA a even useful this early in the season? I've made two missteps now and I'd like to avoid a three-peat.
I must have been seeing things. Everything is as it should be.G-Man wrote:I don't know what you're talking about.Metalmarsh89 wrote:What does "FOLLOW ALONG WITH UP EZ FANTASY BASEBALL!" mean?
But maybe I'll wait to get too excited until after this weekend series against the Pirates.
Ow! I felt that one.G-Man wrote:I'm kind of annoyed that I picked a West Coast team for this first week. I keep wanting to see how the A's are doing but they don't start playing until I'm all but in bed.
*kicks Pacific Time Zone*
It helps that the Reds play the Phillies to open things up. They do play the Pirates next, but at least we get their 4th and 5th pitchers before their rotation flips.S~V~S wrote:The people who had the Reds are doing well, too bad noone picked San Fran, they have 12 as of today.
Maybe a Thursday? Since most teams play 3-game series to start the week, Thursdays after those games have happened would split the week better.G-Man wrote:I'll probably do a mid-week update. Would you rather that occur on a Wednesday or a Thursday?birdwithteeth11 wrote:How frequently are you going to update this? Will you ever do it in the middle of the week, or will you wait until the end of each week to post any changes in the standings?
This is correct.birdwithteeth11 wrote:Spring Training is historically a very poor indicator of how a team will fare during the regular season. At least, that's what I hear from the baseball people I know who I like and are smarter about these things than I am.G-Man wrote:Is the pre-season really a good indicator of how they'll do early on in the season? I mean, does it make sense to go with a team that was strong in the pre-season for Week 1 or should I go for a team playing against teams that sucked in the pre-season during Week 1? I know nothing about this stuff.Metalmarsh89 wrote:I'm going to do the same thing. If there is a point in the season where they are likely to score a ton of runs, I think it will be the first week. Their offense has been clicking more than I expected this spring training.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Cincinnati Reds week one please.
Just getting them out of the way.
Cincinnati Reds for me.
Also G-Man, I don't know if this is too much of a hassle. I would suggest you update the Week in the thread title similar to how mafia games are updated each day/night phase. But only do it if you think it will help you. I don't mean to tell you what to do. :P
So what the hell do I know?:P

Too true.birdwithteeth11 wrote:So basically, the exact opposite of our team? :PMetalmarsh89 wrote:My my, this bullpen is loaded with talent already.
