WEEK 27: EZ Fantasy Baseball 2016

[G-Man]

I don't have the mid-week scores this week, but here's the selection chart.

IMPORTANT!!! Week 15 is a short week. The All-Star Game is next week, so each team only plays three games. I want everyone to know that so they don't waste a high-scoring team on a three-game week.

Get those picks in by noon (EST) on Sunday!

[S~V~S]

I am gonna pick the Twins.

[Tangrowth]

I'll take the Twins as well. Thanks!

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Week 15: Miami Marlins

[Sloonei]

I'll take the Dads for Week 15. San Diego Padres.

[Sloonei]

Since the All Star festivities will be taking place at their home field, I propose that all home runs hit in the Home Run Derby and all runs scored in the All Star game be counted toward the Padres run total this week. It is only fair.

[G-Man]

[Marmot]

I'll take the Milwaukee Brewers next week.

[G-Man]

I will go with the run-challenged Atlanta Braves. Everyone else looks to have at least two promising weeks left for me. Except the Yankees. They're benched.

[G-Man]

It's now a four-person race at the top of the pack, with Sloonei working his way into striking distance of both third and second place. Epignosis snagged his first weekly win, leaving just birtdwithteeth without a victory. I'll post a 'mid-week' score even though it will only consist of one game. Enjoy the All-Star Game and think about which teams you'll want the first week back into full-schedule action.

Scoring procedures remain the same as always but ranking has changed. Some folks just aren't participating, forcing me to randomize several picks each week. From here on out, if two or more players are tied for the week or overall, the players with the fewest randomized weekly picks gets placed higher.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Remember when I was good at this over the first five or six weeks?

Me neither.

[G-Man]

I was pretty pissed that I forgot to pick a team during the wedding weekend. I was extra pissed to randomize myself the otherwise hapless Twins. Part way into tonight's game, I'm willing to stop complaining for a day or two.

[G-Man]

Maybe I should let the randomizer pick my team every week.

[Marmot]

Maybe I should let the randomizer pick my team every week.

Wow, those Twins.

The Indians aren't doing too shabby this week, but their pitching has been abysmal. Oh well.

[Marmot]

I think Joey Votto has found his stroke.

16-game hitting streak since the All-Star Break, and he's batting .519 with a .625 OBP over that span.

[Sloonei]

Maybe I should let the randomizer pick my team every week.

The Twins and Tigers just came here and best up on the Sox and I felt bad, but now that they've left and are continuing to beat up everyone else I feel less bad.

[G-Man]

Hey all, I don't have an updated chart or mid-week scores. Sorry for falling short this week.

Regardless, please get your picks in for next week by noon (EST) on Sunday.

Thanks!

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Week 19: Oakland Athletics

[Sloonei]

Sticking with my bird theme, I'll take the St. Louis Cardinals.

[G-Man]

Baltimore.

[Marmot]

Texas Rangers please.

[S~V~S]

Thanks for the last few autopicks, G Man. Hopefully my wifi issues are resolved soon. My current landlord thought he would be closing sooner, so turned off the cable a tad too early, lol.
