We’re Twitter polling today.

Which is WORSE?

1. Occasional incorrect calls with live pace of play and ensuing drama from mistakes.
2. Correct calls, interrupted flow of play, crushed souls when your guy pops 1/4 inch off a base.
3. Filler.

I did it! I employed the ultimate tryhard lineup by using Sam Gaviglio. And while he didn’t do much (1.80 points), it was a net 3.40 point improvement on Aaron Sanchez (-1.60 points). Unfortunately, Lucas Giolito (13.85 points) was cheaper than Gaviglio and therefore the far better play. What’s worse, I dropped top performer James McCann from my lineup (for Jose Rondon) to cover the difference between the two pitchers. The total cost of using Gaviglio was a loss of 30.05 points.

So, in summary, I shouldn’t have done it. Or maybe this is just a case of a high risk, high reward play turning sour. And for what it’s worth, had I not tryharded all over my lineup, I still would have only finished fourth in the Invitational.

I was pretty pumped about the lineup I welded together yesterday. I managed to parlay Jacob deGrom and Hyun-Jin Ryu with seven of the top hitter plays and one patch (Brian Anderson). The pitching spiked, but so did a billion others. Worse, Anderson turned out to be my top bat with just eight points. C’est la vie.

Mallex Smith is one of my favorite players thus it saddened me to see him demoted yesterday. However, there’s a very good reason to give Smith a minor league tune up right now.
