    I am definitely in the minority in mine, although I do have a fellow traveler in my youngest brother, which makes Thanksgiving a little easier.

    FWIW, in my 8-team historical OOTP league, I am quite deep in average to slight-above-average players but rather light towards the top, and I’ve been bouncing between third and sixth place.

    Oh, I’m pretty sure we’ll hear about it. 😁

    I would really like to know why they did let him go. Did they really think he was totally done at 29? Is he some sort of clubhouse cancer? Did they bow to pressure from fans and press? Did L’Ilitch decree he be gone? I wonder whether we’ll ever find out for sure.

    Well, as we all know by now, Jeimer Candelario is a notoriously streaky hitter whose streaks belie how bad he actually is. Why, if you remove all the games he didn't get hits, he's actually batting .000/.101/.000 in 69 plate appearances, which is way worse than even Maton. So, yeah, we're better off without him.

    Boo. That sucked.

    OK, down 6-4 through eight. We've done this before. Let's do it again! Foley W, Lange S!

    Looks like Baez is back to making desperate swings.

    Sorry, Jake, you get only one take in that spot. See ya. Got another run, though. Only two down now ... 😁

    I'm not sure why, on the sharp one-hopper to second, Maton waited to see whether the second baseman would field the ball before he committed going to third, where he was a dead duck.

    So, OK, we are within a slam, but also, we have guys who are still champing at the bit to be the instant hero who ties the game or puts us in the lead with one swing. But again, we are closer. That's something.

    The Dombrowski winners were all stars-and-scrubs teams, to your point. But also as you imply, we are a long way from having anything like nine average big league players.

    Also in all fairness, this issue is at hand for the Nationals right now and not the Tigers.

    Englert in. Interesting. He threw 21 pitches on Friday. I would have thought only Cisnero and Alexander since they were the only two bullpen guys who hadn't pitched yet this series.

    Bases loaded, no out, no score. Jumpin' Jeebus.

    One thing keeping me tuned in is remembering that these are the Washington Nationals, so on a list of all the teams that could choke up a five-run lead to lose a game, the ex-Expos is near the top of it.

    What should he have done instead?
  18. chasfh
    lol twelve hits given up in the first three innings? Not sure when I last saw that.

    Welp, Wentz couldn't get us out of the third. It will be up to Cisnero to work a bunch of innings. He hasn't thrown more than 31 pitches in an outing this decade. But he's probably going to throw more than that today.

    TORK! gets the run-scoring single after the very deflating GIDP by Riley. As a consolation prize, you could do worse.
  21. chasfh
    Looks like it's going to be Joey Wentz, Jose Cisnero, and maybe Tyler Alexander today.
  22. chasfh
    Joey Wentz, second inning, first pitch, home run.
  23. chasfh
    And now Baddoo with the walk. These may not be good or talented hitters in the big picture, but at least we're learning that they're able to make the most of the slight gifts they do have, which should make them fun to watch sometimes.
  24. chasfh
    Maton continuing to do the work laying off secondary pitches and getting on base any way possible.

    What a spectacular play by Javy, diving for an almost single juuuust missing turning it into a 6-3 double play.
