Need Griffin to continue his roll, Latos to put in a good one and hoping for help from E-Ram in my deep dynasty for a spot start

Also pulling for Griffen tonight!

Finally cut bait with Aviles and picked up Ciriaco. I'm concerned how healthy Longoria is going forward. I chose to keep Adam Eaton over Carlos Beltran, let's see if that comes back to haunt me or hurt me, or both. The guy I'm playing picked up Beltran.

Streaming Homer tonight, ended up taking it right in the pooper last time I did against a team he dominates over his career. Going up against Kennedy, Weaver and Hamels and need all the help I can get. Streaming Estrada tomorrow as well.

Edit: He's already got two saves, will likely be sitting Ax and some other RPs if he continues to dominate in that category. Lucky douche

6/41 with 5 Ks was exactly how I wanted to start my playoff matchup.

[benb18a]

You're tellin' me. Five runs, four RBI, zero homers so far after hitting 13 taters last week. Down in a massive hole in homers, RBI, average, saves and strikeouts at this point, Homer's great start tonight the only thing keeping my team afloat.

[Izenhart]

Not doing great but I am somehow winning 11-2-5. Mauer, Reddick and Gomez had multiple hit games and Gomez/Eaton stole me bases. Bumgarner's win on Monday helps and a Grill hold, Putz save and only 1 k against for my hitting has me competing in all categories across the board.

It helps that my opponent is hitting .097 with a .248 OPS, and a 4.85/1.85 era/whip. He's also got Stanton hurting and no backup.

[Izenhart]

I wish I had picked up Homer Bailey on more than one team, his schedule has been @HOU, HOU, PIT, @CHI and hes 2-0 with a 1.55 ERA and 26k's in those games.

Today I have Estrada and Sale vs. Zimmerman and Cain. We are tied in Wins, K's and BB's and ERA and WHIP is very close.

I have to bench two relievers to get them in, need to decide between Frieri, Putz, Grilli, Neshek, Clippard and Jansen. Jansen and Clippard are in double headers but they are facing each other I'm winning holds but losing saves. Leaning toward benching Frieri and Grilli.

Sale prediction: 8 IP, 1 ER, 13 K, W. 4 hits allowed no walks.

Cool, three days in, and still sitting at zero home runs. Getting trounced by a .500 team who is batting .387 right now with a 1.xx era and 0.xx whip :|
