    Ugh, I just need to vent. Last week I benched Tim Anderson while he went off. This week I benched Meadows who's of course going off. The only reason I benched him is because since my league foolishly switched our pick-ups to Monday nights, he had a 5-game week and had been sitting vs LHPs. GRRRRRRRR
    If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

      Convince your league to do daily moves but I do feel your pain.

            I think we need to revive those "vent" threads. it's kind of a 'safe space' for this

              Yea this was intended just for that.

                If it makes you feel better, I left Yonder Alonso on my bench (we have lineup changes twice a week) in favor of Rowdy Tellez, who didn’t start tonight.

                    We should have separate vent threads for mixed, only, daily, and weekly leagues. We could make it into a case study by seeing which types of leagues cause more misery. I'm only half joking.

                      It happens to everybody. Can't tell you many times I either left a player on the bench who produced or started a player who i should have left on the bench. Left Burnes 1st start on the bench with those 12 Ks and Gausman first start also on the bench.

                            The Yankees are skipping Domingo German's start this weekend. So, i leave him on my bench. Today he pitched 2 perfect innings in relief with 4 k's and the win. Crap.
