H2H, you shouldn't have anyone on the bench for offense.

just my opinion

Usually my go to set up as well and go pitching bench heavy.

funny thing is i do the opposite. just stream pitchers taking on weak offenses.

Good looking out. I have a few guys on the bench for Pitching and hitting. It is so early I will be making some moves here soon. I have Sabathia and Drew Smyly on my bench for pitchers.

i draft the minimum amount of pitcher spots and stream. How is that not the opposite when you draft the minimum batters? You take an elite pitcher (my case Clayton) and then use your final spots on pitching and find talent, like Archie Bradley, Clay Bucholz, etc

and Pat what are you laughing at goof?

[Cnasty]

What's this "stream" term being thrown around today by you?

Is that what the cool kids are calling something thats been around a while?

I am laughing at the AJ and nick rivalry. He loves to hate you and you love to antagonize him. Win/win for the viewers!

well i learned it from a guy with grey hair so no not quite.

It means you pick up pitchers daily and have a spot to drop them and pick up based on matchup. so day 1 was Bucholz vs Philly, then u had Bauer vs houston, shit like that. "weaker" pitching talent taking on bum offenses so youre not wasting a valuable pick on someone who plays once every 5 days

I see where that would work but most leagues I've been a part of have move limits and this wouldnt work unless it was nearing the end of the season with left over moves still available to you.

I was just going to post this. In this league I am in you can make 25 moves for the whole season.

A stream is a smaller version of a creek.

That's a really tight number for a H2H league. Be careful and use them wisely.

I will prob make 5-10 moves all season. I don't make many moves in fantasy sports, don't do enough research. Its prob why i finish in the bottom third all the time.

[ReignOnU]

Seems perfectly normal...

[DRiccio21]

no joke, that's exactly how i pitched.

i didn't land but the exact same motion.
