TEAM MARGOT 429
ATLANTIC CITY SHARKS 352
OF all the weeks of all the days of summer in all the ballparks why oh why must you implode in freaking Milwaukee in September oh rocket man Rosenthal!
Pitching staff sunk the ship. Five players blew up for a combined -59 points and the staff overall posted a disastrous 130 total points. King Felix was mediocre with 10 points and though my starter picks weren't awful, 9 of 14 posted 10+ starts, 4 of those 15+ but Adam Conley's 20 point start was the high water mark and a misstep midweek involving Cody Anderson (dropped him accidentally before his start - missed out on 17 points) lead to a panicked decision to start Ryan Weber the following day. Boom, -23.
19 total points. The bullpen, the vaunted bullpen, was indeed damaged beyond repair. I completely missed it. Unsurprisingly, Glen Perkins -11 and John Axeford +1, were terrible and bad. Kinda surprising, both Ken Giles +4 and Jeurys Familia +6 blew saves and finished the week with mediocre totals. Shocking possibly roster design shaking Trevor Rosenthal posts back to back losses AGAINST MILWAUKEE and finishes the week with a -20.
The line up performed like champions, posting a total of 222 points with the waiver wire pickups netting a +9 despite the bungled the midweek swap of Martinez for Desheilds, (dropping Martinez too early and missing out on 5 points.) Starling Marte lead the way with 32 points, while 7 of other 13 regulars had 17+ point weeks.
And I might have had a shot if Team Margot doesn't go 11-1. Lineup posts 213. Gotta tip the cap sometimes.
