Given what is happening with St. Louis today I bet we don't even get to 200.

Sadly, this is a shitshow.

Another issue.

Live Scoring, Standings.

WHIP on a team level is not correct; almost everyone's season WHIP in every league is lower than 1.

Team Stats page 1. Strikeouts are zero everywhere 2. Where are pitcher walks and hits? 3. Team WHIP is not being calculated for actives or reserves Michael, Team Stats defaults to League Stats, which shows your counting stats. For more stats like walks and hits, pull down to MLB Stats.

How was this a Florida man when they supposedly went out to a club in Atlanta?

STRIP club, ahem.

They live in Florida don't they?

July 23 - July 27, 2020

It was fun while it lasted.

This may have posted elsewhere but...

...what is the status with lineup changes after Thursdays games heading into the weekend?

Can we make hitter changes after the Thursday games?

And are the four days of games next week the same period for pitchers, similar to the All Star week in past years?

You’re not understanding it, I get it. With only 60 games, the chances of needing a tie breaker this year are significantly higher. Are you still opposed to stats from these games counting toward regular season totals? Nothing’s changed. No owner should get any extra, unscheduled bonus games worth ...

The perception is irrelevant. The reality is it’s part of the 162 game schedule.

You’re not understanding it, I get it.

Greg, If we have to scrap(gulp) the season and this would ostensibly damage(end?) the NFBC, can we not compromise and somehow split the baby? I for one would be ok with a refund for all my leagues minus your margin, we all get back 70-80%(whatever the number is) and you can live to play another day...

Has a minimum number of MLB games played for NFBC to move forward been discussed? If 82, are we good to go? If 50 is everything canceled? I apologize if this was already discussed, let's hope tomorrow they all come to there senses and announce a 114 game season. :) This has not been openly decided,...

What if...

About 15% of players including many stars, decide not to play this year.

Is it fair to have the DCs (and the other drafts) play given that fact?

You can tell an owner "well he always injured you should not have drafted him" you cannot say "well you should have known that DeGrom you paid $40 for is now gonna throw the same innings and get the same wins as........Rich Hill lmao". i only drafted 3 leagues this offseason, my lowest number by fa...

Owners are voting on a proposal to present to the players today. This sure looks more concrete than any plan we've seen so far and it would consist of an 82-game season because there is the fear of a second wave in the Fall that could make it tough to complete the post-season: https://www.usatoday....

No, not yet. No one tried to exploit that, though it could have been more a function of the particular pool than not thinking to conjure a plan. Most of the top relievers of the era tossed a lot more innings than nowadays, so even those focusing less on W/K totaled over 1000. Most had around 1500-1...

We're doing 1990 Monday night, starting at either 7 or 8 PM ET. The draft tracker/standings/roster sheet is publicly viewable https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1u95cv6Q_JchaiQ4vD8ofw55_WSiJbUvXO4l9m2OhXkQ/edit?usp=sharing I'll verify the time when we firm it up. The group also hangs out in a Z...

This basically becomes an optimization problem. It’s just who can solve it best.

I’d have interest.

Greg/Tom, Looks like we’ll have some sort of a season which is great. I have a question which I’m hoping you guys can assist with. What happens if they start the season and then have to suspend it, or even end it prematurely? I know you don’t like dealing with hypotheticals but this is something I ...

I wish we’d know more as to what is happening behind the scenes but maybe it’s all wait-and-see.

I’m annoyed with all of the May/June talk. I’d rather they get this right, take their time than rush ahead.

If we have a season, have it from July-November (5 months) with December playoffs.

Greg, What is the plan for the following given a shortened schedule (apologies if this was covered elsewhere): 1. minimum number of IP 2. minimum plate appearances to get positional eligibility My suggestion would be to simply take the % of the season and apply, rounding down. Thanks Chris I don't ...

The wisdom of crowds...

And yes, bowling is a sport. In fact, if they really want to show bowling as a sport they should show Shawn Childs' league bowling live on TV. He has a 200+ average in one league bowling right-handed and a 200+ average in another league bowling left-hand. NOW THAT'S A SPORT!!! AND THAT'S AN ATHLETE...

I’d like to participate in that!

What is the absolute latest date we can have a season-long contest? What if this lasts until June or July?

It only takes a few owners to be skittish that a draft/auction can’t occur. I think it is more likely than not Opening Day will be pushed. Given that, we should delay all live events until we know what is what. My guess is that is what happens. We can always do these things online. And if the seaso...
