[Miggs]

I want to bite my tongue because I don't want to seem overly critical of either team but they're really pretty poorly constructed.

 

[Miggs]

Each team only has one LH pitcher. No LH starters on either team. Awful.

 

[Hekate]

Congrats to WC for drafting one of only 2 baseball players I know. In my mind, you have won this one.

 

[Beer]

Outside of like 3 guys LH'ers are *******.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

It was an oversight. Noticed it as I was setting my lineup. Lol

 

[Miggs]

Outside of like 3 guys LH'ers are *******.

Uh no.

 

[Miggs]

I only have 1 LH starter (Mad Bum) but my closer is a lefty (Aroldis).

I was referring to the two teams in this contest.

 

[Miggs]

I went with WC. I like his hitters and pitchers each a tiny bit more. Plus Thee couldn’t even spell a couple of his own player’s names right.
