In no way do I speak on behalf of Noto at all, we might communicate every few months, if that. Here is my two cents on this sort of non issue.

I’m not going to go through all of his lineups. I’m just going to look at his Thunderdome lineup for 5.3K entry. Safe to say he cares about that one right?

His lineup is
DJ
Francesco
Grillo
Laird
Lowry
Varner

Noto was a guest on GrindersLive on Tuesday filling in for Devo. Right off the bat he mentioned he was going to play Dustin Johnson. Boom first check. When Justin quizzed him on the mid 7K options he only spoke of two names. Grillo and Laird, who he picked to win, (check and check). I brought up Lowry being a great wind player, we were all in agreement there, (check). When asked to bring up a low 6K player that had not already been spoken about Noto went into detail about Varner (check). So you put those 5 players together you only have 9.2K left.

Francesco was 9.2. Noto mentions that Wesley Bryan was a no go. We all passed on Perez and Bello. Leaving Glover the next best option that Noto liked, he was $600 under the cap. So the choice with 5.3K on the line was between the 118th player in the world or the 34th ranked player in the world. He went Francesco, as it was the smarter play.

I’ve never felt Noto has tried to mislead anyone in his articles.

DJ, Rahm, Power, Laird, Harman, Hagy…. just outside the cash line right now but should easily be inside by days end

I have Rahm with Molinari, Gmac, Glover, Berger and then I have friggin Cink to possibly ruin a good LU

Just an FYI, the now ex-member has had multiple accounts banned in the past for attacking RG hosts and having conspiracy theories about them. He’s gone now, so I wouldn’t worry, take his posts with a grain of salt.

impossible plug.

Good to hear

….and Judge…and Thames

It’s at the point where you have to play a lineup with them even if you don’t like them or aren’t stacking their teams.

On the golf side – we have a ton of the same guys besides your Scott and GMac (sadly we both have Lowry), so good luck and let’s have a comeback from Sugar Shane and a nice Top 5 from Laird.

Well if Bryan and Mickelson keep sucking this is shaping up to be a nightmare week…
Also pissed I bothered throwing in some Mullinax as a 1/2 punt instead of just using Murray in those spots…oh well…

Aaron Judge is an auto plug every night, and he is criminally under priced and the Yankees are dumb for not moving him up to 3 or 4 in the order

LOL, I just checked, I will be in last place in Group C by the end of today. Hopefully my (weather) girls sends me some magic.

On a different note my Pig would be winning money in just about every contest I looked at. Thursday is good, you still can live in denial.

Power gonna either win me all the money this week, or break my heart

Rahm 27 foot par putts…damn he is good

Strange afternoon wave, minus three players they are all between -2 and +2… not the implosion, as of yet, many were hoping for..I know it’s early and there is the am round tomorrow for some bad scores.

LOL, I think we are all safe, I think disdain would be the general opinion.

Grayson Murray finally put his cell phon3 down long enough to practice golf, look out he is -2

I want to weigh in on this.

If you are reading pieces from the experts and just picking the names from their article/ pod/ video, you have the finger that is pushing the pick button, guys like Noto are not doing that for you. Pretty chicken shit to blame a writer when it doesn’t go well for you. What you think are recommendations, are really suggestions. It has gotten to where (seen this on other sites) writers have to have a disclaimer at the end of their piece stating they may not play the names in their article for various reasons. I’m never picking players just because they turn up in an article, they are references and nothing more. I hardly research my golf picks. I use the first look article and identify odds/ salary difference to get the values as an example. Many ways to build lineups, blindly following names off an article is not always a recipe for success.

Rahm/Casey taking a break near the beer cart.

Edit: ST Troll – #rahmgoat

Power draining 18 footers…. LET’S WIN THAT MONEY!!!

That is NOT his cash lineup. I’m playing against his cash lineup and it is:

Kisner E
Laird -1
Lowry +3
McGirt +3
Scott -1
Simpson +1
(scores are atm)

So get your facts straight or just get out.

Jon Rahm n shit

Cink- ouch buddy.

Par. :(

Live look at Phil Mickelson:

Yay!!

Does anybody notice how Sam Saunders figured out how to golf only after his grandfather passed?
