I don’t necessarily disagree with this at all. But by the end of the season, when your 10 keepers are set and you’re just horrible, you give up and quit trying. I’m not talking about week 3 giving up. I’m talking about week 18.

I think teams in the playoff hunt get frustrated when they see a team they're fighting for a spot with is playing someone that's lost interest and leaves points on the bench or doesn't even fill their starters.  It could make the difference of who makes the playoffs.  Last year we had an owner who had two players in his starting line-up for half the year that weren't even in baseball, lol.

Good luck everyone that made the “A” bracket. Just 10 points away from the A’s and I’d be with you. Two seasons in a row it came down to the final day. The North was tough this year.

We still doing 1st pick goes to the consolation bracket winner?

Sorry, his pick up of Fowler and Ottavino coming in late got the win.

And yes, winner of the consolation bracket gets the first pick.

“The number one draft position will be determined by the winner of the consultation round consisting of non-playoff teams.  The top four scoring teams regardless of match-ups from round 1 will move onto round 2. Number 1 scoring team plays number 4, number 2 plays number 3.  Winners move onto the championship round where the winner will be rewarded the number one draft position.”

Damn Todd, you are definitely catching me on the right week. Literally half of my rotation has hit the IL in the last week. Such bad timing!

I thought top 4 scoring teams moved on in conciliation round despite win or loss? I believe the matchups are incorrect. Can someone verify.

Thx
