Neowin Fantasy Baseball Season 2007


Recommended Posts

Yeah, I got a bit lucky there lol. Then again, Mussina broke down again and Jones' closer status is in question. We both got a lot of question marks out of that trade.

Now it seems that Harden will be down for quite a while so I've pulled the plug on him.

I now need Carlos Zambrano to stay hot to make the deal worthwhile. The irony is that I was mostly interested in Rich Harden and I was taking Zambrano only as a wildcard.

I'm interested in moving Cincinnati closer David Weathers for a non-closer but this is exclusively based on the idea that Octavio Dotel will be traded and J. Soria will become the closer in K.C. If that doesn't happen then I'll probably regret any moves that I do make.

Edit: I may need to make another 2 for 1 trade. I have all three of my disabled guys coming off the DL sometime this week and I will again have roster space issues.

I'm thinking that Adamb10 is pretty happy that Gallardo was left inactive on the bench today.

Y. Gallardo (L, 4-2) IP:2.2 H:12 R:11 ER:11 BB:3 K:1 HR:2

Anytime that you give up more home runs than you get in strikeouts isn't going to be a good night.

I just noticed that Fred is doing what Virtual Madden did last year to be champ. That is, Fred adds/drops pitchers every other day so he can add up the number of wins and K's to win. Just this week, he added and dropped 7 pitchers and they tend to be the same ones, such as Bannister from KC and Kason Gabbard.

Ironically, I still beat him in every pitching category besides SV's even after he added and dropped 7 SP's.

Yeah, it didn't work. I probably would have done better by sticking to my core starters. I also lost Garza to someone else.

I still find that as a cheap way to try to win. Not saying you are being a cheater, but its not something many people do. You stick to your team and add/drop as you seem fit, not add/drop every day to accumulate stats to win.

Well, as I see it, we're supposed to be managers which means getting the last drop out of our roster as possible. It isn't an inherently superior approach, you risk losing players that you have interest in since you need to dangle them on the waiver wire. Starting a lot of mediocre players is no guarantee for success. For example, I picked up Randy Winn for one day because he had a doubleheader on Monday and he rewarded me by going 0 for 8.

If you wanted to limit it next year then we could consider adding one day to the waiver wait time. I personally think that it adds some fun. I'm okay with exploiting any loophole that we all have access to. For example, if you have a SP on the disabled list, you can activate him from the DL right up until the game actually starts. As soon as it does start you can place him back on the DL and pick up another player for the next few days. While that may seem like cheating, Yahoo allows it. I've never actually had the opportunity to do that but I wouldn't have problems with doing so (or someone else doing it against me). It's a quirk but it's a legal quirk.

There was a tie for 3rd place. I would have thought that the team with more wins would have got the higher spot but apparently not.

Edit:

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more players in a Head-to-Head League finish tied in the standings (based on a Games Behind calculation), the following system will be used to break the tie and determine playoff seedings:

1. Overall winning percentage.

2. Highest winning percentage in Week 22.

I assume that people aren't really trying to win anymore? I was losing earlier in the week but I have made countless moves to squeak whatever extra stats I can out of my team. Nobody else seemed to alter their squad for Monday, for example. Nobody has attempted to go after the guys that I have dropped.

Perhaps everyone is busy with school. At lot of my leads are currently only 1, 2 or 3 points so I'm still going to try to lock down a few more categories.

The 7th place game is going to go down to a final few key stats.

Runs, Hits and HR are only separated by 1 to 3 points each. The score is currently 6-5 for bangbang023.

Today is the last day of Neowin Baseball 2007.

I thought I was out of it for a while. Basically, I'm taking the batting and l3thal is taking the pitching.

Except that your group of lahrd-asses are losing the SB race 11 to 1. :p

p.s. cough, Matt Stairs, cough (sorry L3thal).

Oh well, haha. I didn't get into fantasy baseball as much as last year. Last year I had a ton of time to tweak my fantasy rosters, this year it's been a chore. Too much time devoted to Xbox 360, school, work, and relationships I guess. Good job everyone, I don't know if I'll sign up for fantasy baseball next season so it's been fun. (You bet I'll still try and kick some butt in basketball and football though)

    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
