NFBC Message Boards

Obviously Childs is behind this. He climbs to #2 overall with the change.

I was wondering who the other team was who is insanely still starting Matusz. Thanks, Glenn. I feel a little better now.

Have to agree. NFBC is about the only thing I use iPad for. It's lightweight, easy to hold, easy to see, and performs all the functions you will need for this game.

Originally posted by Cornhusker: Not a terrible idea. I would prefer old school once weekly moves on Monday but could live with this. However, probably not the best business move for Greg and Tom. When you add a component where daily moves need to be considered, my number of teams will go from 4 tot...

I first noticed stats from this game were not being added correctly in live scoring last night. They were not added to my team until shortly AFTER I read this post which was approximately 9am EST. The stats were not rectified simultaneously for all leagues. Perhaps they were corrected manually? Greg...

I realize you're just venting/having fun, but this list isn't that bad. Your only complete misses were Matusz and Lopez, and both were mid round picks. Most in the NFBC had Longoria over Gonzalez. The lack of elite 3B talent combined with questions surrounding A-Gon's shoulder had all but the savvie...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: 24. Ted Kluzewski enjoyed cutting off his sleeves to show off his massive arms. Especially for baseball cards. For four years, Klu did something on the field just as massive. He hit 171 home runs while striking out just 140 times during the same time frame. The unibom...

Originally posted by rkulaski: Yeah, I have him in 3 leagues. Without even looking at his starts individually, he is so frustrating to own.... he has been destroyed 2 or 3 times in the first inning this year. After the Venable lead-off homer, I had a horrible feeling. You hit the nail on the head. H...

Originally posted by Dirt Dogs: The non setting lineup. I actually find this argument somewhat interesting. So if a guy is behind you in RBI and has 3 DL players on his team you benefit!!! But if you need him to gain on another player your losing. But isnt that just the same as him building a compet...

Originally posted by Edwards Kings: Nice. Get an adverse reaction on what was probably a light hearted dig, find out a guy is hurting, then pile on. Real nice. Kent has never been a phone it in type, has always backed up his posts with all-in competitive spirit, so when something happens that is dif...

As an example of what Clemens could have done, look at McGwire. Sure, he's been demonized by the press for ultimately refusing to lie, but I always respected what he did. Sure, in a perfect world he would have had the courage and intergrity to tell the truth and admit to his usage, but he could have...

Roger Clemens "above board?" Really??? The Roger Clemens I know has been a disrespectful, arrogant, dishonest, condescending jerk with delusions of grandeur and an overwhelming sense of self entitlement. He has lied repeatedly, insulting the intelligence of everyone despite the fact that his persona...

This would be a very helpful add. I have found that when checking live scoring late in the day when games are all finished (say 1-2am EST), live scoring sometimes counts the live stats twice. This has happened to me a couple of times the past couple weeks. It was confusing at first but I figured out...

Droppable. In an extreme pitcher's year, Danks does not provide elite k totals and his ERA and WHIP are both average at best in the year of the pitcher II. Without wins he's only a few k's better than Buehrle. Is HE undroppable? The White Sox are a mess, their bullpen is a mess, their manager is a m...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: Maris was also a starter, as much for being an accomplished outfielder as well as a good hitter. Best pitcher of all-time for Koufax? Yes. My criteria being, that if my family would live or die depending on a pitchers ability to win a game against any given team, I wo...

Originally posted by Hells Satans: On a per AB basis, there's really not much difference between Bautista and Gonzalez's breakout years. Bautista always had decent power. From 2005 -2009, Bautista hit 1 HR every 28 ABs. In 2010, Bautista hit 1 HR every 10.5 ABs. From 1991-2000, Gonzalez hit 1 HR eve...
