You run into a tough luck facing an extremely hot team the first week. Season is still young. Never played with so few players...but I stacked my pitching, and they did not do well. Long season. We will see. At least I didn't compromise my dignity and pick up any dirty Mets players. Braves 2021! My team depends on it. That strategy used to work when starting pitchers used to go deeper into the game. I went to the final during my 2nd year play when I stacked the team with great starting pitcher with lots of strikeouts. Much harder just win by pitchers now that most pitchers don't go past the 6th inning.
Braves will be fine. Acuna, amazing last night in a tough loss.

I wonder how the suspended Mets-Marlins game will counted. The results in two of the matches can change if the game counted as last week's. Somehow I think it will be counted as the week the game continues.

Yahoo still hasn't updated standings, stats, waiver order, etc. They are "aware" of the problems.
How about they just do what they did every other year.

I just noticed they finally updated the standing. Their sit/start suggestions suck. They keep wanting me to replace Grandal, my catcher, with Bohm.

That's like Rotoworld. Back when I played fantasy football every year, Rotoworld would swear up and down that stupid Michael Floyd was going to be the #1 receiver in football because of his footwork, or because Carson Palmer's wife loves him, or because the moon was full, and every year they were wrong.

Or how about notifications like "Postponed game alert: so and so is in your starting lineup"
Up yours, I can only set my lineup for next week.

Still a long way to go in the selection assistance AI feature.
Back when I used to love to go to video rental store about 10 years ago before they all closed down, they have these selection feature in recommending me movies. I rented lots of classics and foreign film, but for some reason the list recommended me Baby Geniuses, and anything after 1990. I still haven't seen Baby Geniuses. Doesn't appeal to me. I don't think these recommendation feature has improved much on the internet since, like on Netflix.

I have the App on my phone called Fantasy Alarm which gives me the line up for the day when available. It helps me when I am away from my computer, so I can update my line up on the phone using the Yahoo Fantasy App.

Yeah, although the youtube algorithm is solid. I get a pretty strong bunch of recommended travel, food, exercise and general amusement videos that are mostly worthwhile. I mean, some of it is garbage but by and large they are pretty consistent and I am constantly being introduced to new channels.

Talk about YouTube, I don't know why suddenly I get a human like robot videos recommendation this past week. I did check them out, and I enjoyed and intrigued by them them a lot. A bit creepy though, like this one.

I have been quite lucky so far with injuries in the IMDb league. Except for a couple very early injuries. Not that bad. I can't say the same with my other league. Cueto has just gone into IL.

Welp, I only have 7 of the top 23. I have 3, which is about right for my 8 team league. Your scoring will differ.

Pitchers definitely appear watered down with our scoring.

Just saw this today, or else I'd have probably made a team.
