Any eliminations coming this week?
reply
Yes CJE unless he wants to buy back in but not sure that makes any sense considering how far he is behind in the tiebreaker standings. I will leave it up to him to decide. I am pretty sure everyone else is safe. Should be an exciting final week. DBacks have you on the move but I think your horse waited too late in the homestretch.
reply
We'll see. The Brewers might just smoke everyone next week. Wasn't I at -18 last week?
reply
Indeed. Certainly not out of the realm of possibility. A big day from the Dbacks today will help you out and then you just need a monster week from the Brewers and some other teams to falter. It’s not likely but certainly possible we could have a 40 point swing week. The fact that you are currently the only one with the Brewers helps your case.

Did everyone else take them already? They had a relatively easy schedule this week.
reply
A lot of people have used them.

I can only laugh I guess that all my strikes were because I forgot picks.... smh
reply
Ya coulda been a contender.

RIP to me being in August Recess after a chaotic end to July threw me for a loop but there is always next year!
reply
Anyone have no strikes? I have a feeling @grayruby doesn't but does anyone else lol?
reply
Yes, me, turd, and wumbo all have no strikes.
reply
Dang so it was much better around this time! Goes to show how the beginning of the year was odd!
reply
I think overall stackers performed better this pool but it didn't look like that was going to be the case after the first couple weeks. We added the 3rd strike buy in because so many people were getting strikes but then went on a streak of weeks where no one got strikes. Go figure.
BTW I will be rolling out the NFL pool at the end of this week if you are interested.
reply
It was pretty wild that once we added that everyone all of a sudden did fine!
I assume it will be structured where you pick the winners of all the games for the week and points/score of the Monday night game?
reply
No NFL pool will be a standard survivor pool. Pick one team per week. If they win you move on if they lose you are eliminated. Last year we did one rebuy.
reply
Turd actually passed me for a brief moment on Thursday but the Brewers won Friday by 8 and Saturday by 4 to put me back on top.
reply
Gonna need either a "Strike" or a crazy differential to catch you. Who did you take week 7? I may need to switch up if we took the same team haha
reply
I have yet to choose. I could just copy your pick but what's the fun in that. I will probably go for the most fun choice and pick the Red Sox as they have a rare 8 game week which could be really good or really bad for me but I want to see how today's games play out.
reply
Congratulations @grayruby! You're gonna be a sure winner!
reply
Turd already passed me once this week. The team I picked just had a couple big games. We will see after today's games where it all stands.
reply
he picked Giants this week? that was a gutsy pick
edit: I looked at the Giants record, 66-65, I assumed they were bad because of their division standing, everyone must be feasting on Colorado
edit: https://www.espn.com/mlb/standings/_/view/vs-division Don't use LHP vs the Dodgers Use LHP vs Red Sox and Yankees
reply
Giants aren’t bad. They don’t score a lot of runs though, so hard to pick up a lot on run differential.
reply
I don't know about that. A lot can change in a week.
