 Lets see about this one. <img alt=" " src="http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/0wp__bEmk6K/Los+Angeles+Dodgers+v+San+Francisco+Giants/d0VPZUHHq9R/Clayton+Kershaw" style="max-width: 100%;"> I cant open the site cause its blocked at work but looks like this is what you posted. This is not an img file, if it was it would end with a .jpg, .gif or something of that sort.
And therein lies MY problem. I know the above is computer-ease, but, I have no idea what those things mean or do or anything. And, I would probably be a lost cause shoould someone try to teach me...... |

After starting the season 12-20, the Pirates have gone 35-23 over the last two months or so. Very impressive. And, it is as if they have traded records and fortunes with the Marlins, who started hot, then have been fading ever since. |

The Brian Stow case has been settled, and the verdict will be released any minute now. I very much want him to be paid, but, will only be really happy if it comes directly from the pocket of Frank McCourt, which is very unlikely I know.

Vazquez in the lineup tonight, that was quick.

If your fantasy league allows a player to be eligible after only one start, then after tonight Brock Holt will be eligible at every position except catcher and pitcher.

I have yet to play in one of those leagues, but, I know they exist. And, the last time I thought about this really was now maybe 10 years ago, when the Giants put Pedro Feliz behind the plate for an inning. |

Vazquez in the lineup tonight, that was quick. A little on the job MLB training, with David Ross going to carry the bulk of the catching load from here on out. Or, unless they get a new C in trade. |

I could use a catcher in 1 league. I drafted Mauer but just traded him for Kemp and Zunino. Also have Vogt from the A's...This trade just went down so I gotta make some moves like decide on 1 catcher lol

He has some good pop, so his homer numbers will help you. All of the others, not so much. However, what he will do is play, and, play pretty much everyday. Unlike Vogt, who is # 3 for playing time of the A's 3 headed catcher situation. He has been hitting great when he plays, but, I don't think his playing time will increase at all going forward, barring an injury of course. |

HRs and RBI are what I need...His avg tho...Ouchie |

It's unfortunate that fans on both sides have taken the on field rivalry to such drastic violence off of the field.

HRs and RBI are what I need...His avg tho...Ouchie Sometimes you have to make a 2nd move to balance out the first. I have had Brian Dozier all year. And, for the first 2 months, he was fine. Now, however, he is slipping. So, to counter him, I dropped an underperforming OF guy ( Matt Holliday ), and picked up Scooter Gennett instead. So, now I have all of the scoring cats covered from the 2B spot, with daily matchup info deciding for me who to start. As such, it is too bad you could not keep both of those catchers, as you would have the same situation I do. If not, you can still balance the scales, by looking for a high avg guy who steals bases to offset Zunino and his all or nothing game. |

Keuchel and Cobb...Can I start either guy tonight? I would say no. And, that is with me starting Keuchel myself. For me, I have both he and Darvish on the same team, so, A win looks likely one way or another. Otherwise, he has been very average to below his last few starts. The same with Cobb. The difference is that Cobb is pitching bad and winning. That, and going against a Royals team without Alex Gordon is tempting, but I still think no. |

Yep Gordon is hurt, and likely will not play again until after the A.S break. Too bad, as he deserved a spot there.
And, if you have been hanging on to C.J Wilson this year hoping for a turn around, stop. In fact, you are now about a month past his "sell by" date. While it is always hard to just flat dump an otherwise stud from your team, now that we are past the halfway point of the season, you know what player you have for this year, and, you make decisions accordingly.
I know what I did with him.......

Cobb is harder to give up on since I actually drafted him and fairly high. He's gonna be consistently good, eventually...imo Also looking at 3B. I have Harrison from the Pirates who's been fine, just need more pop from 3B I'll ask everyone I guess, these available guys, who you like: Freese, Moose Tacos, Uribe, Headley? |

It was bound to happen sooner or later. I just got the old lifetime ban from Hoopla.
Oh well.

That said, there will be outrage, to be sure. However, there really should not be, as so many starters end up beggin off once they get selected, based on when they have just pitched or will pitch again after the break. And, knowing that after the guys who actually start the game, pretty much everyone else is used like a releiver would be anyway... |

As am I. The guys from my hardcore fantasy league made up of Hoopla guys are asking about my situation, and may now decide to come here and join in after all.
