I’ll quickly give you a list of streamers if you’re desperate for starters, followed by my annual recap. And with your newfound clarity, maybe give somebody a call and see if there’s anything you can do to help them out this week. Whatever you do, don’t turn the wheel frantically. If you encounter a hardship this week, just take your foot off the accelerator. You made it this far champ, and I’m still proud of you. But maybe your 3% of MLB is just performing worse than your opponent’s 3% of the league. You can’t control what happens in the fantasy baseball championships. You take your foot off the accelerator and don’t turn the wheel. Do you slam on the brakes, or turn the wheel in a frantic effort to regain traction? No. You’re driving along in the rain, and then you hydroplane. What you can control is your reaction as a manager.įor those of you that drive, you probably know what an over-correction is. I mean, they’re tired and torn and some of them are literally arranging off-season jobs and lodging right now because work ain’t guaranteed next year. You can’t control how the players perform. Whatever happens in the championship, just enjoy it. 94% of baseball performance is meaningless for you this week.Ĭongratulations, you are an insignificant speck in the cosmos. So, 6% of the universe of MLB players are matched up in your fantasy baseball championship this week. And your opponent in the championships manages another 3% of the league. Some of them had great stretches, and some of them had slumps. In MLB, there are some 750 active players migrating through the league on any given week. The truth is, is that you managed 25 (give or take) players at any given time on your team. You checked on your team every day, much to the displeasure of your elderly dad who simply wanted a call one time a month. You stayed up until 2 AM to make a waiver claim. You thought about every matchup and played the odds. You think you got to the championship through the meticulous control of your team. Or maybe - just maybe - you’re in the championship week of your fantasy baseball league. Maybe you’re in a chaotic airport - how do you keep your cool and have a fun flight when a bar tab costs $90? Or maybe you’re listening to a track in 5/4 - what do you do with that extra information? What you can control, is your response to stimulus. There’s a lesson to be learned here: It’s not the stimulus, but the response. I mean, I think airports are chaotic polyrhythms too. If you’re a Rush fan, consider it like YYZ. I suppose if we’re being alphabetical, this is week Y.
