Secondly, if those pre 1900 pitcher salaries are high only because of innings pitched, does that mean if you start them every fourth day will they be even better? Some of thos guys have WHIP's under .5! If that's the case I'm filling out my roster with dead ball era guys and everyone who took the Seavers and Koufaxes and Larsens and Browns are simply dead in the sim. DEAD. Waste of $10 for you because I won't lose a game.

My $10 says that it's not going to play out that way.

I don't follow your reasoning. If a guy has an ERA near one and a whip under .5 AND never gets tired because he's pitched 600 innings in a season, you're saying that's not an incredible advantage? You could pitch some of those guys who are STILL available every other day and destroy Carlton on Sunday, then Seaver on Tuesday (WITH THE SAME GUY).

But what will a .5 whip in 1886 equate to in the sim? Perhaps that was a good but not great average back then. When they equalize, he might get shelled. Just like some of todays numbers will be hurt in the sim.

The sim doesn't equalize. Guys with more HR cost more beause they give you more HR--period.There are adjustments that the same makes, but taking the WHIP from the deadball era and blowing it up is not one of them--things are normalized, but they are not adjusted like that.

Do you know this for a fact? Because if what you say is true, the sim = worthless and there are far better sims out there. I am fairly confident the sim adjusts not just by era, but year to year. Otherwise why not just pick all 1885 pitchers and all modern hitters and ruth.

When I played around with the Sim Matchup feature, I did a little test for era adjustment.Had 2003 Pedro and a rather mediocre deadballer, Charlie Buffinton of the 1885 Boston Beaneaters, take turns pitching on the road against the same teams in the same stadiums. I kept track of stats for a few games. With era adjustment, they would have been miles apart. Without it, they would have been close.They were close. ERAs basically proportional to their real-life ERAs.I suppose its possible that the sim leagues are a little different since they cost $$$. And after all it isn't necessary to adjust stats at all between eras to determine a head-to-head matchup like it is with teams drafted from all different eras. But you'd think if they had the capability to sim better, they'd do so even in the free game.

This is how the sim works. This is reality. If you don't like it, that doesn't change the reality.

 

[Koya]

By the way, who is up? This is still a draft to build the best team. After the draft we will:(1) All Proclaim we have the best team(2) All Proclaim victory in all sims for personality type A (the type that say the will win no matter what) All proclaim certain doom in all or certain sims for personality B (the type that, even when they know their team rules, goes Lou Holtz on everyone declaring they have no chance. Probably someone with no deadballers)(3) Try to WIS Sim. Try this other sim FFA vote Possible Baseball Board voteNow, lets ####### draft.

 

[Bogart]

2.) I plan on starting 4 or 5 pitchers in the sim. Keefe will pitch just as much as Bobby Witt for me.

We'll see whether that holds true if you meet me in the playoffs. I'll feel perfectly comfortable throwing a Pete/Mordecai relief situation like the DBacks did with Randy/Curt against the Yankees. Will you?

OK, now I'm confused. You complain that I am going to pitch Keefe every day or every other day, I say I not. So you come back saying you are going to run Brown/Alexander out there as your rotation, doing exactly what you are complaing that I am going to do.If you want to play that way, I will take Keefe/Joss against Brown/Pete everytime, but I don't plan on playing that way.

What are you confused about? I'm saying I have no moral qualms about pitching my starters the same way that the DBacks pitched Randy and Curt (not every day alternating, as your post suggests--or did you even follow that series? or real baseball at all?), because that's a perfectly reasonable thing for a baseball team to do, and seeing as my guys were acquired at the beginning of the draft because they were EXCEPTIONS to the rule in their ability to do that, I have no moral qualms about doing it.You, on the other hand, went the underhanded route and snuck Keefe in. So first you say you won't pitch him in relief, and no you say you'll do it if another owner does (though pitching a starter in relief is a perfectly normal thing in the playoffs). So which is it? Do you let the IP cheat for you, or do you hold back? Do you go just one inning of relief? Just 3 innings?

Look, I am going to start Keefe every fourth day, end of discussion. Except when I play your team, then he gets benched for being "too damn good to play against Larry Jones."

 

[Mr. Pickles]

God.. what a pathetic display this has turned into.Nice job, losers.

 

[Capella]

quick story about the sim..about 2, 2 1/2 years ago, I signed up to do it..wanted to build around pitching. Bought Koufax and a dead-baller (forget who, late 1800s, early 1900s)..big salary guy. Thought I was set.Dude got absolutely wrecked. I mean, every game was 12-2ish. Eventually had to bench him after 15 starts or so and run out there my cheap 1994 Dwight Gooden who I had only to round out my pitching staff. And Dwight was BETTER. There's more to it than the raw numbers. And it's not worth #####ing about.

1.) I didn't go first. Young and Nichols were drafted before Keefe.

Young's relevant year is post-1900. As far as Nichols goes, I'm assuming Pickles read my criticism, decided it didn't matter to him, and got over it. Clearly he was a lot more secure and mature in responding to it than others have been. What's funnier is that Cappy feels compelled to respond on behalf of others to this effect, though he has no deadball pitchers himself.

I don't understand grouping Young with the other pitchers people have named. Young was picked 5th overall.....I think if the 1880s pitchers were all picked in the 1st and 2nd rounds the people against it would be more accepting. It's the fact that people MAY (not sure how the sim works exactly) be able to pick comparable pitchers to Young in the 12-15 rounds that is the problem.

:revolt:haha. Heck, I will do more sims, other sims. The states intent of the draft was to get the best players. We did the sim as some objective way to judge. if the objective measure we thought was best is f'd up, then maybe there are better ones out there. Im game for anything. I committed to this sim, so work or not Im in. But I am open to other ways to judge our teams. People do need to relax a little.. it is a freaking on line draft.

I agree, Young is first round material, and I don't see Keefe nearly as good as him. But I do see Keefe as seventh round value for both the vote and the sim. If I pitch him like every other pitcher in my staff, his "value" should be right where he was drafted.

Ok, just did a sim game where the 1887 Braves (w/ Radbourn's 4.55 ERA) vs the 1986 Detroit Tigers (w/Jack Morris). Braves won 4-3, Radbourn pitched a CG with only 3 ER.Next, I did a sim with the same 87 Braves vs the 2004 Red Sox w/ Pedro at the mound. Red Sox won 7-5, but Radbourn only allows 4 runs (3 unearned) vs Pedro's 4 runs.Then, I did a sim with those 87 Braves vs the '34 Yankees w/ Lefty Gomez. Radbourn gets murdered for 13 runs to Gomez's 3.Finally, I did a sim with the 87 Braves facing the 75 Reds w/ Don Gullet. Radbourn allows 4 runs again. Won't say how Gullet because he hasn't been drafted yet.So in conclusion, the sim is fair.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Heck, I will do more sims, other sims.

I'm strongly considering picking up Strat-O-Matic's computer game and all-time disk and seeing what it has to say.If there's one sim I KNOW is good, it's Strat.

Spartans, I live next to the town where Strat is HQ. My friends played it all the time when we were young (I was playing stickball and never got into strat). We are talking small town on long island, so if you want, I might be able to pick one up for you and send it. I am sure they ship direct, probably not too expensive either but if it is more that way, I can get one.

All that this shows is that guys will pitch at the ERA they are drafted. So expect KEefe to blow the world out of the water. This proves my point, Capella, not disproves.Sort of sad that you guys didn't notice that, but I don't really mind having to explain it.

All that this shows is that guys will pitch at the ERA they are drafted. So expect KEefe to blow the world out of the water. This proves my point, Capella, not disproves.Sort of sad that you guys didn't notice that, but I don't really mind having to explain it.

Just pitched Tim Keefe against the '99 DBacks and Randy Johnson.His box score

Tim Keefe (L) 9.00 14 6 5 4 13 0 171 ----

14 hits, 5 earned runs. Outstanding.:stillers:Can we drop it now?

Just pitched Keefe against the absolutely horrific '99 Devil Rays.8 hits, 4 earned.I imagine he's going to face better hitters than that DRays squad here in the sim.Look what I got for ya... and one of these:and a variety pack of Shut up about it already.

I was going to take one of those dead ball era guys, but I just don't have the heart to do it.

Game 1: 85 Giants (w/ Keefe) vs 86 TigersResult: Keefe allows 3 ER in 11 IP (WTF?! ) Giants lose.Game 2: 85 Giants vs 04 Red SoxResult: Keefe allows 5 ER in 9 IP. Giants lose.Game 3: 85 Giants vs 35 YankeesResult: Keefe allows 4 ER in 9 IP (I'm starting to notice a trend here). Giants lose.P.S. Babe Ruth went 0-3 with 2 BB's. Giants lose.Game 4: 85 Giants vs 75 RedsResult: Keefe allows 1 ER in 9 IP. Giants win.So in conclusion, Keefe is indeed human. He's a good pitcher, but human nontheless.
