Re: Andujarday
good blog today.
Ohtani is a unicorn and he isnt talked about enough in the casual sports world. diehard baseball guys get it. His talent level is enough to be either a fulltime hitter and win the MVP or fulltime pitcher and be a CY candidate. He does both is merely at the bottom of the top tier in both.
I also like the cardinal play this year where the guy ran through 2nd instead of sliding into 2nd on the front end of the double play to beat the force and got himself into a pickle for a tag out, letting the runner at 3rd score.
Also, dugout shenanigans, Bobby Valentine getting thrown out of the game and coming back in disguise is hilarious.
I love it when you hate me.... in fake baseball games... not in real life... what are you my mother?
Simple Rules:
1. Winning the world series in a half unowned league is not worthy of your time.
2. If you are trading an elite item like a no1 overall pick or an elite player, then don't take the first offer you get. Advertise your availability to the league to maximize your return. Your trade partner is not going to protect you from underselling yourself.
3. Quoted from a thread about Monopoly gameplay: "This strategy will end up killing you in the long run. You WANT to make deals. You WANT to be easy to do business with. If players get the impression that you're always going to ask for unreasonable demands, they'll trade with other players, leaving you out of those trades, meaning you get nothing of value while they benefit. Remember, your goal in a trade should not be to screw your trading partner, but to screw anyone who isn't your trading partner. Then people will catch on and realize that if they're not going to give you fair rates, they're going to be left out in the cold, which means that you shouldn't be dealing with people who play that way either."
4. Win how you want to win in this game. A lot of us try to define what is the best way or the worst way. Take the easy road and take the easy wins. Then, later, when you realize how boring that can be, find the hard ways to win. Then, show others.
