I set eight lineups in a rush last night, and I got what was coming to me: a single $12.50 cash on a $60 investment. That brings my bankroll down to $1,408.61. It wasn't that I didn't like the players or pitchers I used - I had Clayton Kershaw in three, Raisel Iglesias in two and Aaron Nola in one - it was my impatience to put together anything that fit. The problem - if you can call it that - was I had to head out to Heather's aunt's house in Malibu, and I didn't get there until 3:20 PT (45 minutes before lineup lock) and occasionally had to speak to everyone (including my three-and-a-half year old, Sasha, who was earnestly showing me her artwork as though it were the seminal masterpiece of our era) while I was finalizing my choices. There are worse reasons to screw up your lineups, so I'm not especially upset about it.
Today, I had some time on my hands, and set four lineups:
Pos | $5 Rally | $ | $5 Rally | $ | $5 Rally | $ | $5 Rally | $ |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
P | Severino | 5300 | Severino | 5300 | Severino | 5300 | Happ | 6900 |
C | Norris | 3000 | Cervelli | 2700 | McCann | 3400 | McCann | 3400 |
1B | Goldschmidt | 4600 | Abreu | 4100 | Goldschmidt | 4600 | Howard | 3400 |
2B | Gyorko | 2600 | Gyorko | 2600 | Gyorko | 2600 | Dozier | 3200 |
3B | Machado | 3900 | Ramirez | 2800 | Machado | 3900 | Sano | 4500 |
SS | Kang | 3500 | Kang | 3500 | Gregorius | 2200 | Kang | 3500 |
OF | Kemp | 3900 | McCutchen | 5000 | Ellsbury | 3300 | Altherr | 2700 |
OF | Upton | 4000 | Harper | 5000 | McCutchen | 5000 | Brown | 2400 |
OF | Jones | 3500 | Upton | 4000 | Pollock | 4500 | McCutchen | 5000 |
Total | 34300 | Total | 35000 | Total | 34800 | Total | 35000 |
Three of them have a cheap Luis Severino, with various pieces of Yankees, Padres, Diamondbacks and Pirates stacks. I set a fourth just now at the last minute with a Phillies/Twins/Pirates stack, but couldn't spend all the money, so I subbed in J.A. Happ for Severino.
Commonly owned players include: Severino (3), Jedd Gyorko (3), Jung-Ho Kang (3) and Andrew McCutchen (3).
