Rant and Housekeeping
I just wanted to point out that the Blue Jays are the first team in MLB history to get no hit and one hit within the first 7 games of the season. If it were not for Josh Hader hanging a slider right down the middle to Davis Schneider who can't hit a high fastball (I know it's Josh Hader but odd pitch selection when only one thing can hurt you), the Blue Jays would have been shut out all three games in Houston. Now they get the pleasure of heading to the Bronx to face the 6-1 Yankees and Aaron Judge hasn't woken up yet. Yikes. I am not saying abandon ship, they are 3-4, but this lineup looks even worse than last year's dismal lineup.
That's my rant.
Now for a couple housekeeping items. Thanks to everyone who submitted a mock draft for yesterday's Mock Me post. @Undisciplined was our winner but @Public_N_M_E and @BTC_Bellzer submitted impressive drafts as well. I hope to do another Mock post next week. Does anyone want to offer themselves and their team up to be mocked?
A few folks have already secured a winning week in the MLB survivor pool. Overall I expect we will not have many strikes issued this week but there could be a couple.
I will be doing a Final Four pick 'em post shortly for anyone that wants some Madness revenge.
Sats for all, GR
I'll volunteer for the next mock. The Raiders are in an interesting spot and I'd like to see what people do with it.

Haha Pub is gonna run a million simulations until Caleb Williams falls to 13, so he can take this one home.

Go full rams and say F them picks and trade the farm for the 1.01 šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
reply
you paid Jimmy G
True, but the guys who did that got fired and Jimmy voided a lot of his contract when he got caught with PEDs. We're also still paying Chandler Jones.

Woof that's, yikes... Don't worry though we let Danielle Hunter walk šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

Who is the team you root for?
Not a mock draft question

Chargers season ticket holder
I have never seen the Raiders in person. I always sell my seats when the Raiders are in Inglewood

Looking forward to the Harbaugh regime?

Cautiously optimistic
Finally a real head coach instead of a coordinator
Anything is an improvement from the Staley era
reply
We were very sad to see Staley go.
Playing the Chargers in LA is the only reliable home game for the Raiders every season, so thanks for helping out with that.

Even in San Diego
reply
Awesome. Ok next week we will do the Raiders. I think Wednesdays are good for the mocks. That way can get three more in before the draft.
reply
Spicy. I love this new weekly midweek mock draft segment your putting together.
reply
Are you offering yourself and the Vikings up for the week after next?
reply
You can't mock us, we're already a joke shop of despair and low expectations.
But yes, yes I am, let's do this!! Wooohooo!!
reply
Mariners need to take 2/3 from the Brewers in order for me to not get a strike. Definitely glad this isn't a one-and-done contest.
reply
Brewers are due to come back down to earth. Tough series for Mariners. They are getting good pitching but are hitting worse than the Jays, which is really saying something.
