I've had a horrible fantasy baseball season this past season. It was a daishippai (大失敗 ) (miserable fail)That is all.
Seriously, almost everything that could go wrong went wrong.
I traded the best pitcher in the game (Clayton Kershaw) for an injury-prone center fielder (Carloz Gomez) at the beginning of the season.
Stephen Strasburg was hurt for me the whole season, or pitched horribly when he wasn't hurt, until I traded him for Johnny Cueto who sucked as soon as I got him and Strasburg did great down the stretch in August and September in crucial fantasy playoff weeks racking up multiple double-digit strikeout games.
Everybody laughed at me in my fantasy baseball league.
The myth I tried to perpetuate that "I was special" was dispelled. (btw, did you know that "dispel" is spelled that way and not "dispell?" A horribly ironic word for kids to spell wrong in a spelling bee, IMO, which has actually happened in spelling bee history. Truly 大失敗.
My only really good hitter all year was Buster Posey.....until I traded him.
I traded Manny Machado even after 2 months in which he was showing signs of a true breakout season......and he subsequently kept going off for a 34 homer, 20 steal season.
May that never happen again to me in fantasy baseball.
Fantasize on,
Robert Yan
