Daily Fantasy Baseball Tips: Don't Believe Chat
by RotoPicks.com Staff
Daily fantasy sports is the best thing since sliced bread. Researching players, reading stats, entering salary cap leagues, snake drafts and chatting. Wait a second! Chatting? Maybe this should be left off of this batting order of euphoric happenings during your day.
For those of us who are fantasy diehards, have passion for the game as well as respect for the game, fantasy chatrooms can be frustrating to say the least.
Just seconds ago I was at a popular daily fantasy site and there was some clown on there touting that Albert Pujols pulled a hamstring in warmups and was out. Needless to say, this CLOWN was just blowing steam and trying to get a rise out of people. People that do this are in the same mindset/frame of mind as the aholes that create computer viruses. Worthless Morons.
Such a comment can strike fear into a daily fantasy newbie. Joe fantasy player sees this and runs to his lineup to make a change as fast as he can in order to avoid taking a zero for that roster spot.

Even the most seasoned fantasy players will drop what their doing to make sure that the player in question isn't indeed out.
With that being said, the cornhole that spewed this ugliness has created absolute havoc on a number of people and for what purpose?
Memo to cornholes who do this... Please stop. It's such a juveniile move on your part. Don't burn bridges cornhole dude. You just may be in need of some quick info down the road and pop into chat looking for a legit answer and get a fat spoonful of your own medicine. People take the game seriously. Take your 3rd grade B.S. elsewhere. There's games called duck-duck-goose and hide and seek for people with your level of maturity.
Lying about false injuries in fantasy baseball chat is ugly and it creates jaded site members that may no longer take part in chat or even worse, not come back to the site. Try doing something nice like helping somebody out. You'll feel better about yourself, you'll be helping build a community (that you may need a favor from someday) and you'll be acting as a productive member of the planet.
