Fantasy Baseball: Mark Bellhorn Memorial League & RM League

[washing machine]

So, now that I have a team, I'm wondering how we play. Baseball season is coming up, and I'd like to be as prepared as possible.

Go on every day and set your lineup. You don't want to find out later that your best pitcher was on the bench the day he started.

Well yeah, but I'm having trouble coming up with the more nuanced aspects of the game that I can't really know without seeing my players play in their home stadiums. For instance, I've been stuck on what to use for BJ Upton's walk-up music for four days now. Any tips?

[numbers]

Yeah I'm gonna keep 3. CarGo, Strasburg, and Weaver.

[numbers]

btw, I've been mildly excited for this draft all day.

[Norah]

I fugging love my team in the real league, this might be the best draft I've ever had.

[Norah]

That draft sucked.

[numbers]

yeah I got like logged out for a second against my will just as it was my turn one time.
