blind_synergy Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 On a side note, am I right to understand that a girl's won this league two years in a row? Edit: I registered under the team name "Cunning Linguists". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yes, Janny has won both years!! And she always does amazingly! Playoffs were intense last year, everyone had good teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind_synergy Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Some of the stat choices you made are interesting. What's the reasoning behind them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnb88 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I'm in I've gotta say- some of the rankings yahoo has are quite... interesting. Took me a little while to sort through who all I want on my team to maximze the points etc. You guys are all going down. Just sayin' On a different note, I noticed TO won today! Lol- the only time I cheer for a Toronto team is in baseball:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Some of the stat choices you made are interesting. What's the reasoning behind them? You mean the ones we're looking at? Some of them are obvious, but I'll explain the oddball ones: Grand Slam - doesn't happen often, but could be a game changer if it happens during a close contest! H/9 - it used to be just "hits" but when that was the case, people who played starting pitchers (who were amazing pitchers!) would do poorly sometimes, simply because their pitchers played more innings and got more hits against them. This protects against people just playing short-relievers. Pickoffs - don't happen often, but again, just spices things up a bit and can change things up in close matches! cnb88 is another gal who kicked a lot of ass last year!!!

Going for the trifecta this year! Then maybe I'll hang up my hat and let someone else win next year But in all seriousness, last year was intense! Almost as intense as Snider's new 'stache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonekid Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 If I knew anything substantial about baseball, I'd enter. But really, I'd just be a waste of space. lol I'll cheer from the sideline instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just use WHIP instead of H/9 and BB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supafield Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I entered the 8 team playoff as the #1 seed and finished 8th.... ugh.. Josh Johnson getting hurt was the end of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Why not just use WHIP instead of H/9 and BB? Eh, was going to do that... but it's worked in the past with the same categories we've had and I'm writing my thesis right now so didn't have much time to think about things before doing it. Also, I like having a bit of variability, people have to balance using starting and relief pitchers this way a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I entered the 8 team playoff as the #1 seed and finished 8th.... ugh.. Josh Johnson getting hurt was the end of me. I got so lucky, I BARELY squeaked into the playoffs... it was seriously a nail biter, then somehow managed to get into the semi finals because I got lucky vs supa! It was so close, every single week between everyone, especially late in the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind_synergy Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Btw, nice Arcade Fire reference. I only bought the Suburbs after they won the Grammy (had listened to most of the songs on it before, though). Still, listening to the album as a whole completely blows away listening to any of the songs individually. One of the few remaining bands you can say that about, really. Sprawl II came out of nowhere and blew me away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
