A2k Fantasy Baseball - 2014 Version

Mine have been good and great and then totally clutzed and then good and good and then totally bereft.

All very trying, especially if I'm part of it with dumb decision (as against Tico, when I forgot two pitchers. Two pitchers, good grief.)

Let's all go after Pancho!!!!

My previous week was my best week, this last one was one of my worst. Hoping for a better one (heat that, Mr. Mxy?).

However, I still can't tell for sure when my SP are going to pitch their next start. Like yesterday, I made my picks, seemingly in time, only to be horrified to find them still on the bench. I don't know if (or why) my picks didn't get recorded...but the result was pitchers 2 stayed on the bench when I didn't want them there. Oddly these two faced one another. One SP sucked rocks, so I'm not hurt.

I am still clueless how to determine what day in the next week a SP will pitch after his last. I know I can guess at 4 or 5 days - but I'll bet everyone else knows in advance for certain (barring injury or last minute mgr change).

There is a ^ next to pitchers opponent team name indicating he will be starting that day. They are usually there 2-3 days ahead for planning purposes.

As an example, you have Harang pitching today, Lackey and Kazmir tomorrow.

Oh ... my ... gawd! Really? I am seriously shocked. I had no idea what that ^ meant. Nothing I ran into in the Yahoo Fantasy interface I'd seen showed that. I didn't know that last year, either. Of course, you do know I'm an illiterate.

No wonder I sucked at this game! Imagine the benefits if I actually could predict with certainty when my SP were slated! I can do this in advance too.

Oddly..my 2 SP that I had left on the bench BOTH got slammed.

Glad I could help!

Gee, and I said to myself: "Ragman is clever, he benched his pitchers because he expected them to have a bad start".

(The ^ sign also tells you that your batter is in the line-up)

Oh yes..I'm pretty clever, huh? Took me only 2 seasons to ask someone how to do it when I knew there had to be a better way.

I cleverly figured out that the ^ might also apply to batter-up, too.

I think I remember that the carot (is that what it's called? carat? sort of fat upside down V thingy) will show up about an hour before the applicable game starts - for the batters.

I believe it's caret.

Tanks for that info..

Gotcha, plus thanks re caret.

It's now official.
My beautiful silky team was ripped and turn into rags.
It had to be the Ragman, of course.

Thanks for the standings, George.

Desert dogs need some more training.

Interesting observation that a majority of us are over 50%. We either can be seen as very good or very mediocre. LOL!

We're all mediocre except for Johnboy, who is terrible.





Now, he'll unleash his hound to go after me.

Nobody moved more than one place up or down except Rags.
He jumped from sixth to third.
Impressive.

Hey, guys: The A2K World Cup 2014 Striker Game is on! :

The 'Necks are making a move!

I think that's more a function of jespah making a move, than the 'Necks making a move.
