Re: Next Year is Coming Fast

Bumping due to unanswered question. Greg, if you refuse to answer because you feel the answer is obvious then I’ll accept that. I just hope that when you refer to “optimal scoring” it’s for the overall team not just Ohtani being shoehorned into Hitter or Pitcher based solely on which position gained...

Re: NFC App Is Now Available: Play NFC

Apple Canada doesn’t have the app.

Not sure if you have enough users up north to make it worthwhile to get it added there.

Re: Next Year is Coming Fast

Deadheadz: It's optimal scoring lineup for the Cutline. He will go where your team scores the most points with him. If he's worth 20 pitching points and that's among your highest scoring pitchers for the week he will go there. If he scores 10 hitting points and he's your highest scoring DH, where d...

Re: Next Year is Coming Fast

I’ll ask again: Greg/Tom/Darik Please explain how this will work for Ohtani in the Cutline game. Will it simply be he plays wherever he has the most points? Or will he be used where his points benefit the owner the most? If another hitter has 1 point fewer than Ohtani, his benefit might be more as a...

Re: Next Year is Coming Fast

This would be a better fit for Cutline too. Just sayin'....... :D In roto you decide each week if you want him to be a P or DH? Remember how the Angels seemed to pitch him usually on Sundays? Makes you decide Monday about his Sunday start. In Cutline what happens? We don’t set lineups in Cutline.

Re: Next Year is Coming Fast

Yes, we have said how we're going to handle Ohtani, which is the basis of this thread!! We are programming Ohtani to be one player, a P/DH, and owners can use him as either position at the start of each week. Brendan McKay could qualify in the same role and if anyone else is worthy it would be the ...

Last one? Nooooooooooo! Are you sure? Maybe when MLB uses 28 man rosters in September for future seasons this contest can go deeper into the season. I understand why 40-man makes things too chaotic. Question: is there any way to see the results of these contests if you weren’t one of the participant...

So the Japan games will be played around St. Patty's Day? Or are they not being played in 2020? Good Lord, they'll have to start spring training the day after the Super Bowl. Even so, they could still pull off a really early Opening Day from a weather standpoint. There are 14 teams that play either...

Re: Bellinger July 14 - Scoring Change?

It’s been over a week. MLB says 3AB but NFBC says 4AB. Does this happen a lot? I noticed this only because Bellinger is on one of my teams. There’s a lot of players I don’t track so this may not be an isolated incident. What will happen when someone misses the cut Aug 4 by one point but he’s got Bel...

Re: Bellinger July 14 - Scoring Change?

We'll have to wait to see what the official scoring actually is on that last AB, actual error or interference error. It’s not that anyone is requesting a scoring change but more pointing out that MLB shows 3AB for Bellinger that day while NFBC shows 4AB. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it make the dif...

Will the Bellinger stat line from July 14 get updated automatically overnight tonight or does it need to be requested to be re-run?

Re: Next Year is Coming Fast

I am not for daily changes. We've never had players like this before. Equating their use to Multi-position players, good hitting pitchers, or daily changes does not serve them well at all. We have not had players like this in baseball before. Equating them to something in the past is wrong. But equ...

Re: Next Year is Coming Fast

In football, if a running back throws a 60 yard pass for a touchdown, it counts! He's not a quarterback, but he did it. We saw it. It counts! In Football if any offensive player throws a pass for an interception that also counts. Negative points! You’re making a good argument for counting offensive...

Re: Next Year is Coming Fast

Thanks Dan for bringing this up well in advance. I’m sure many of us have wondered the same.

Even if the IT solution is found, my question is whether (as per current rules) we will have to wait for Ohtani to gain pitcher eligibility as he won’t likely appear on the mound at all in 2019.

All NFBC contests?

How will this work in Cutline? Will final league standings change when/if Fiers gets the extra 6 points for the win?

What the hell is going on? Sept 6 is a bit late to be revising Cutline history.

Re: setting lineup for Friday-sunday

It would normally default to the next period but since Thursday Mar 28 was also a lineup deadline day it didn’t change until after midnight Central time.

On future weeks we should see the period advance by Wednesday morning at the latest.
