Pitching matchups this week

#1 Post by CubFan »

12 team AL only 5x5 H2H keeper league using W+QS and H+S. Flexen has 2 starts (against Philly @ home and @ Mets), Blackburn has 2 starts (@ Det and at home against LAA). Flexen has been getting QS while Blackburn has been 5 and dive but has 3 wins. I have Kikuchi on the bench. He threw great against the Yankees but gets them again. As we talked last week he changed his mechanics and pitch types. As not stands now I have 7 starts. My opponent has 9 starts (3 are going twice).

So, stick with my current setup of 7 starts or go with Kikuchi and 6 starts? I could add Kikuchi and drop a RP. My RPs are Loasiaga, Duran, Foster and J Barlow. My opponents RPs are Diekman, Pressly and Sewald. If I max out SP I may be risking ratios and don't necessarily win W+QS and Ks. And if I go with fewer starts I still could lose ratios given I'm playing the Mets, LAA and Yankees.

I'm providing daily and weekly subscriber content for this intended purpose. To respect those with the in-season service, I'm not comfortable continuing to address questions of this nature, especially since the reply will almost always be whatever is best for your matchup.

Understood. But am left wondering why you have "Team Management Advice" listed as a valid discussion board for anyone to ask player questions on. Or am I not understanding what can and can't be asked?

Questions can be asked, but my promised response applies to the subscriber section. I am offering a new subscriber feature this year with expanded weekly and daily rankings and have decided to respect those continuing to subscribe in-season and not give away content for which others are paying.

OK, but you have a contradiction in what you list as being valid questions to ask under this section "Get advice specific to your team. This can be opinions on trades, free agent or waiver pickups, who to start or even just "rate my team". It is helpful if you provide sufficient details regarding your league format and team composition." I've been a long time paying subscriber to your services and have much appreciated your timely answers to my many questions. This year I opted not to pay for the Platinum due to the unknown if/when MLB would have a season and went with the Gold. I do understand your reasoning so maybe you could change the wording of what you'll allow so as not to confuse anyone. Thanks.
