    Hmm. Just redid my pitcher rankings, and Feller was not a good pick. Oh well.

In the letters drafts we have the artificial limit of three deadball pitchers, but we don't in this draft, and still nobody ever takes more than one or two. So there's a whole bunch of the second-tier ones left over at the end. I figure if I just take all of those, I can dump saves and still end up with a really good pitching staff.
      FYI the 1870's and 1880's count as a single decade in Decades drafts. So it's effectively a super stacked "decade" with only 1 pick per team.

          Did you guys watch the Pats - Chiefs game? How amazing is Tony Romo at calling a game? The guy just absolutely nailed every single call down the stretch. It was crazy!

            It's hard to tell these days with the longer log out timeout.

              So you're saying the rest of us have a chance?

                I have Feller ranked ahead of Vance (by a pretty good margin, too) but I am just not clever enough to handle guys with ratios like Feller's. Honestly, I'm probably fucked just having picked Vance and Grove.


                Speaking of which, there are 15 decades total. Two are combined for pitchers, leaving 14. We only have to pick 12, so two decades of our choice will not get used for pitching. I have that right, right?

                  Killebrew was the other guy I was considering with my last pick.
                  In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

                    He's really great. Not quite Collinsworth level but not far off. Maybe he can give Witten some tips.

                          For some reason I thought this meant JA went after Ken. I need to get my shit together. Pick up in an Irish few.

                              Sea of Thieves is popping right now. Enjoying watching the Twitch streams. Not sure if it's a game I'll play though.

                              I'm a variety streamer(kind of). Been streaming since 2012(ish). I'm 100% better than you at shooting and puzzle games. I tweet when I go live @summit1g on Twitter.
