Yes, the title says it all. Prior to football season kicking off I was mired in second place in one of my most competitive rotisserie leagues. What was billed as a good two team race quickly turned into a one pony show as I was more than 10 points behind with less than 30 games to play.
But today I stand in a tie in first place. How did I do it? Two pickups helped me bridge the gap in home runs and RBI’s. They were James Loney and Edwin Encarnacion. This league also uses the holds category. Since I had a lock on Wins, I traded in some starters for good set up men and closed the gap there too. But, the main reason I think I caught up was the start of football season. I play in a football league with these same guys, and they are all full force locked into football.
My point here is to say that you can gain a lot of ground late in the season in a rotisserie league. Focus on the categories you can climb the ladder quickly and focus on categories where you gain ground and the guy ahead of you loses it. Plus reminding your baseball league about football happenings can only help take their minds off you trying to catch up.
