Even though week 20 technically isn’t on the books as of writing this, it is almost a mathematical impossibility that PGH Best 1 has a comeback to take us down. That would require Brandon Crawford having about 9 home runs and 23 RBI. Basically, we’re safe. We almost need to send Yoenis Cespedes a nice […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 19
Can you say division win? Well now you can! Because it just happened. This week‘s win over MadBumss created separation putting them 2 games behind us. Unfortunately, Basher, the division leader, and Murphy10, tied with us in second place, also won. So nothing changed in the standings there. Team OTBR is still behind Murphy10 in […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 17
Don’t call it a comeback! OK, we really need to call a spade a spade and address the amazing Sunday comeback for Team OTBR. Looking at the score and remaining games left on Sunday morning, we would have thought we were cooked. We looked like we had close to no hope of winning Week 17, […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 15
MLB All-Star Game week. Short week. Let’s analyze with an analogy: Casinos want some people to win. People go to casinos for the excitement. For the chance to win a big jackpot. If people thought there was no chance of winning, casinos would be completely empty. Casinos win over the long run. Math is on […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 13
After a brush with greatness for one week, Team OTBR has dropped back into a tie for 3rd in our division. 2 games behind the leader, Basher. Remember, the top two teams in each division make it to the playoffs, so there’s still time, and we are easily in the hunt. We’re going to give Justin […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 12
Has anyone forfeited in the history of CBS Sports Fantasy Baseball? Well, OTBR just learned that making a mistake before the games start on Monday can screw you for the entire week. We apparently had too many reserve players and correcting the problem didn’t actually correct the problem. Unfortunately, we took a loss and get […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 11
This week brought us back to reality. We got smoked. We had the second lowest points, and Matrix had the most points for the week. Good old fashion ass whoopin’. Our pitchers stunk it up, except for John Lackey, and our hitters were generally pretty average. Basher is again all alone in first, and we’re […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 10
Guess what just happened? OTBR became tied for first place with a win in Week 10 of the MLB Pride league of CBS Sports Fantasy Baseball! Thanks to Papa stacking his team with Kansas City Royals players and the game getting rained out last night. Plus our last minute pickup of Jorge de la Rosa […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 9
Great win for Team OTBR! That puts us alone in second place, which is a nice comeback from where we started in the cellar. Our team is starting to perform, and everyone (except Justin Verlander) is healthy. All despite sitting Nolan Arenado in favor of Kyle Seager because he had one less game this week. […]
Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 7
Week 7 of the MLB Pride league on CBS Sports Fantasy Baseball is in the books. Team OTBR had a great come from behind win in the MLB Pride league. We were way down coming into Sunday, but a huge day by Nolan Arenado and solid pitching by Gio Gonzalez and James Shields helped us […]
