Just curious if any of you have nicknames for players on your fantasy teams.
Ever since returning from his DL stint, I've been referring to the Tampa Bay second baseman as: 0-for-Forsythe.

Re: Player nicknames
Most of my batters have the same nickname..."Lazy Dumb Bastard". 
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Re: Player nicknames
I just tend to curse out any manager that brings one of my closers into a non-save situation (because it often ends poorly for my ratios) or leaves in a struggling starter for way too long (and then invariably brings in a really crappy reliever just to ensure that everyone on base becomes an earned run).

Re: Player nicknames
sure.. i got Triple F or FFF.....for Fat F#ck Fielder.... also known affectionately as Fatty if he happens to get a hit which is rare.
I hate andrew cashner's beard and frankly his pitching so i refer to him as White Trash Cash.
But in general... "Loser" is what most of my team goes by.

Re: Player nicknames
That was quite the blow to his head. I couldn't believe they let him stay in the game. I suppose they have smart people analyzing the situation. Hopefully he is ok.Deadheadz wrote:What's worse for Jameson Taillon?Bronx Yankees wrote:I just tend to curse out any manager that brings one of my closers into a non-save situation (because it often ends poorly for my ratios) or leaves in a struggling starter for way too long (and then invariably brings in a really crappy reliever just to ensure that everyone on base becomes an earned run).
