Why waste my money

Had my best team so far and was 71-46. Then for unknown reasons gone 7-19 and now dropped out of playoff. Thanks for nothing.

Nothing!? You're 13 games over .500 with 18 games to play. Obviously you've put together a nice team. If others have built better teams, kudos to them.

The two best teams are in my division. I was in first place but now 8 games back of second with 21 to go. I am not blaming them. I had winning records against them but lost 10 of 12

I play against some heavy weights in keeper leagues. I have noticed that near the end of the season they must do some tweaking of their teams because they always seem to take it up a notch. Terry101 always finishes strong for one.

Because of the salary penalty, many owners do not add/drop players, especially once the 5% penalty increase.
I find that in leagues where the ballparks are weighted extreme (either in terms of power/small ball/righty/lefty and/or dominance of righty-lefty hitters and pitchers, it sometimes pays to make adjustments when those factors become crystal clear).

It doesn't always work, but I had one team that I made changes to about 1/3 into the season, which was 10 games under .500, to coming back and winning the division and the championship. The league was heavily RH both in terms of pitching and power hitters, and I was in a small ball lefty park and was getting creamed. I switched out two starting pitchers that were LH, replacing them with two RH pitchers that gave few BP HRs to RH hitters, and added two RH hitters that featured strong natural HRs against RH.
And the team literally took off.

I thought this would be a thread about whisky and women.....


too many people think they are a waste of money....

I was going with beer but that isn't a waste because it gives you a bigger waist.
