Thanks. I had lost two matchups this season by less than 10 points each so it was nice to have the luck on my side this time!

[chittychitty844]

Hollywood is so insanely lucky this year, my goodness.

[Hollywood42]

Not really. Since my quoted post below, I've lost a matchup scoring 3rd most points in the week, won a matchup scoring 9th most, and had 1 go as it should, so I'm still pretty even overall. And I'm in 3rd place in points scored this year with a sizeable margin over 4th. Things have been pretty even for me overall

I lost week 2 putting up third most points that week, but then in week 4 I won only scoring ninth in points so that balanced out right away. Since then I've won 2 matchups while being eighth in points on the week but other than that everything has gone as you'd expect

[88UDKidGriff]

Hollywood and I have made a deal. I'm trading Adam Wainwright to him for Jordan Balazovic (SP). To make room for Balazovic, I'm promoting Max Kranick from my minors squad to the majors roster. I'll add him once Waino is off my roster.

[Hollywood42]

Confirmed. We apparently can't make single player trade offers in ESPN anymore so I'll be pushing the deal through with my LM powers

[Hollywood42]

And a second trade: Sending Kirilloff, Castillo, CJ Abrams, and Noelvi Marte to Eck for Darvish and Plesac

We're going for it

I’ve scored more points than you yet you have 3 more wins than me. You’ve also had the fewest points scored against of anyone in the league. Therefore you are lucky.

[Hollywood42]

Luckier than you maybe but I still think I'm about even overall. You're right that I have the fewest points against so I guess it's fair to say in that sense I've gotten lucky, but if you look closer, it generally wouldn't matter much even if my matchups did score more against me. For example, I've had weeks in which my opponent only scored 250, 115, 250, and 225 points which has really helped drive my points against down. But in those same matchups, I scored 450, 470, 390, and 400 points respectively, most in the league for the first 3 matchups and 3rd most for the last. So sure, I didn't get much scored against me those weeks, but even if I did have worse luck, it probably still wouldn't have mattered that week. I only have 3 wins and 2 losses by less than 30 points, so the majority of my matchups aren't close regardless if I win or lose

We're about even in points scored overall since my bad weeks are really bad- I've either finished top 3 in scoring each week (10 times), or bottom 4 (5 times), absolutely no in between. On the other hand, your squad is really good at consistently putting up like 350-375 points each week. I see just twice that you didn't at least get to 350, and even then you're in the 330s, so you really haven't had any bad weeks at all. But at the same time your team only gets to the next tier of 400+ points occasionally, meaning you're hanging around the middle ground (the weekly average across the league has been a little less than 350 points) a lot, which leaves yourself open to close losses on most weeks plus makes it hard to have a high +/-

Hopefully this doesn't come across as offensive or competitive, I just really like the numbers

Hollywood saw he was playing me this week and had to make all these trades to have a chance at a win and avoid moving out of first place .

[Hollywood42]

Incidentally our first matchup early in the year was my first lucky close win, I won like 300-285 with 8th most points that week, pretty poor weeks from both of us. Hopefully a better quality matchup this time around! Thankfully for me it looks like I'm avoiding 2 start weeks from all your big SPs, granted I don't get any of my own either

I had like 4 SPs with double starts last week, only Matt Manning this week. Will be a key matchup here, as our teams are essentially battling for that BYE week at this point. A win for you will give you a 2 win lead in the division and you will get some leeway in that regard, while a win for me would tie our records and I'd take the lead in the division because I have more points.

These divisions really need to go away I want my BYE week.

Especially with the word on Strasburg going down for the year and already way out of it, I'm looking to move these guys and get younger and go into full rebuild mode.
