The fantasy football season has wound down to a close for most of you out there. After a grueling thirteen week regular season of setting rosters http://www.jaguarscheapstore.com/quincy-williams-ii-jersey-cheap , adding and dropping free agents, and negotiating trade deals with your friends and family, the playoff teams have been set. If you are not lucky enough to have been included in the fantasy post-season, the time is now to begin blaming your substandard players. After all, it is their fault for not delivering the statistically projected production on a regular basis.Injuries, offensive game plans, and opposing defensive strengths can all have a negative effect on a player’s fantasy production. In some cases, the decline in production represents a short term regression and the player will return to full production next season once the issue has corrected itself. In others, the lack of production comes as a result of a decline in overall player quality, a much more alarming trend that should lead you to stay away from these players in the future. The time is now to determine which of these apply to your respective players to ensure that you do not make the same mistake next season.Hopefully if you missed the playoffs Ryquell Armstead Jersey , you were lucky enough to avoid the shame and embarrassment of finishing in last place. Some leagues carry a heavy penalty for finishing in last such as surrendering your social media accounts to the league winner, getting a tattoo of the winner’s choice, or other embarrassing penalties that encourage success. However, if you were not lucky enough to avoid such shame, you can still commiserate by placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of your team.

SAN FRANCISCO — Two teams that looked a bit more like they hoped to look all season Thursday night will go head-to-head for the second straight game when the San Diego Padres take on the San Francisco Giants on Friday.

On the same night when the Padres were able to put Wil Myers and Eric Hosmer in the lineup together for just the ninth time this season, the Giants had their 1-2 pitching combination of Madison Bumgarner and Mark Melancon going strong in a 3-0 victory in the opener of a four-game series.

The Giants’ third straight victory was more than just a streak-extender, catcher Buster Posey insisted afterward.

“Bum is such a presence,” he said of the left-handed ace. “Even when he’s not pitching that night, he’s lurking. The other team knows he’s there. It’s a nice advantage for us to have.”

Bumgarner recorded his first win of the season Thursday in the same game in which Melancon notched his first save of the year.

The duo, who were viewed as a potential high-powered tag-team act when Melancon was signed as a free agent before the start of the 2017 season http://www.jaguarscheapstore.com/gardner-minshew-ii-jersey-cheap , worked the win/save thing for the first time as teammates.

Melancon was pressed into ninth-inning duties because of the broken finger sustained by closer Hunter Strickland earlier in the week.

If all goes well, the Giants might be afforded the luxury of moving Strickland back to a set-up role when he returns in August, presuming Melancon can continue to display the stuff that overpowered the top of the San Diego order on just 13 pitches to complete Thursday’s shutout.

Among the guys Melancon set down were Myers, who grounded out, and Hosmer, who struck out.

They combined to go 0-for-7 in their new setting — atop the San Diego order.

Myers, who suffered arm and oblique injuries in spring training and the first month of the season, was playing Thursday for the first time since April 28.

“They’re our guys,” Padres manager Andy Green assured. “Every single team has a couple guys you look to rely on offensively to anchor you. They’re our guys. They are the two guys that we expect to anchor us, and when you’re missing part of that anchor it can be tough.”

The anchor looked a bit rusty against Bumgarner Nick Bosa Jersey , who worked eight three-hit innings, but they will get a shot at Giants right-hander Chris Stratton (8-4, 4.22 ERA) in the second game of the series.

With Myers out of the lineup, Stratton threw seven shutout innings, allowing just one hit, in a 7-0 win over the Padres in April. It improved his career numbers to 2-1 with a 3.21 ERA against them in three games, including two starts.

Stratton enters the game on a nice roll, having lost just once in his last seven starts dating back to May 9.

He will be opposed by Padres left-hander Clayton Richard (6-6, 4.31), who has won three in a row Dwayne Haskins Jersey , allowing just six earned runs in 20 innings.

But the 34-year-old has struggled in his career against the Giants, going 6-8 with a 4.58 ERA in 22 games, including 19 starts.

He has pitched 13 times (10 starts) in San Francisco, going 4-4 with a 5.75 ERA.

Among those who have teed off on Richard are Posey, who has gone 12-for-32 (.375) with two home runs, and Andrew McCutchen, who also has homered twice in just 12 at-bats.
