Nipsey is really hurt by 2 losses to the dummy teams.

I can tabulate the number of games played agaisnt dummy teams is people want, but I need some excel help.

My score should be a 4.

ALSO

YOU GUYS SHOULD

CHECK OUT THE NEW LET'S GO DYNASTY LEAGUE

I'll even provide a link. Because I love you. Oh so much.

Let's Go: Football 2

It's a fantasy football dynasty league. Which, as you know, has never been done before.

Join now.

Seriously.

You guys must have missed this. Seriously.

I saw it, just seemed like a lot of reading for this hour. I'm interested though, but I don't know exactly what it is. (need to read it)

Yeah, you don't really need to read the whole thing to get the gist of it. Basically, I've commished the Let's Go dynasty league, and it's been a huge success aside from the unbalanced trades some people have performed, so now I'm starting vers. 2.0 in order to replicate the good part and eliminate the bad.

When would it start?

Initial veteran draft ASAP, rookie draft first week of May

I may be out of town for a while in May, not sure if I can do a draft then.

Well, the main draft is now anyway. I'm sure the May one (which is just five rounds) could be worked around for you.Only 7 spots left, fellas. Join up.

Sounds fun, I just don't think I have the time right now but thanks for the invite.

Alright, well keep it in mind if you get itching for fantasy football again.

Damn...I thought I had it correct. That means somebody is one point too high. I'm not going to go back and find my error though.

The most important thing to keep in mind though is that Nipsey has 2

losses to the dummy teams

Anybody know how to do the Pythagorian stuff on our stats so far?

 

[Funkley]

Another. Let's just play w/o him next time and be done with it.

Agree with Funkley and Spock's takes about larry_boy's use of Quantrill.That said, I also agree with Sammy -- there's no durned way that Quantrill is responsible for LB's team's record to date ... and what goes up must come down. How much difference could Quantrill really be making? I know he's statistically good so far, but still.

This is not meant to get Larry all mad, but just looking at his stats, can anyone explain how he is 8 games better than the rest of us?

No. I've simmed against him and simmed other league teams against him and he doesn't do well but in the league games he rolls. Doesn't make sense outside of Mathewson who is just damn good. Otherwise just ok.And I agree that if Quantrill is making a difference we're all in trouble. For me it's having a participant that knowingly bends the rule, gets hacked off when called on it and then ####'s in his own nest by trying to get the thread deleted. No thanks, not when we're paying for it.

 

[Koya]

If I had a reliever that was lights out (or a HoF starter that I dont know, could actually get guys out), it would mean at least 2, and up to 5 wins for me already this year.So, it can make a difference. You have one weak link in the pen with these hitters, it can mean doom.

Again, Id give my Lefty Grove for a Paul Quantrill.

So, so sad.

I agree with Koya, my pen is brutal. Reardon alone has 5 blown saves. Shantz is just horrible, and the rest of the guys are just filler. So the pen does matter.Having said that, Quantrill isn't responsible for his team being 8 games better than anyone else.

[Kraft...]

I agree with most of the recent posts, I don't think Quantrill should make a whole lot of difference in the big picture but agree that for the greater good Larry might want to skip season two. As far as reporting posts, I guess Larry forgot to ask the all important question "What would Jesus do". :shakeshead:

Perhaps WhatIsSports builds into it's system a slight preference for active players. It wouldn't be very good for business if people's favorite players are getting own3d by historical players some people may have never heard of. They're more likely to spend money again if the modern players they selected did well against the historical players. This is just specualation and theory of course, but any business is going to consider ways to get repeat business.

I think the Game Harrier and I played live(that is further down the schedule) is where you're missing the one point(and probably -1 for me as well since he smoked me in that game, LIVE GAMES NEVER AGAIN!)

It wasn't "a few whiners" that said you were cheating, Larry. It was every single person online and in the league at the time.You need to switch Quantrill to 2001. That's the bottom line.

you know that isn't how it works and the fact that you are trying to supercede what everyone thinks without really asking shows that you aren't doing this for the best of the league, 'cuz if you were, you'd have let everyone decided before you made ultimatums...

Smoltz was sim-fishing?? lolI can understand thinking Quantrill was not legit, but SMOLTZ?!?!

Smoltz is completely legit. His 2002 and 2004 seasons have a higher salary than his 2003 season because he pitched 17 and 18 more innings, but 2003 is clearly his best season. Completely legit, but you were either lucky and took him without knowing you would get that season, or you simfished and took him because you knew you would get that season. Personally I never even considered taking Smoltz because I filled my starting rotation early in the draft and didn't consider him to be one of the all-time great relief pitchers. Maybe eventually, but he's only done it for a few seasons. Again, I'm not saying he isn't a legit pick. He is. But I doubt anyone would say the season you are allowed to use is a good reflection of Smoltz. His stats that season are just awesome.

That's sick.

[Notorious T.R.E.]

OK - finally read through all of the posts and this is my analysis.Larry - In the beginning I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but now its official, I don't like you. Also, I'm pretty sure the sweet Lord doesn't like you either.:crosses LarryBoy of off Xmas card list:Also, LB, Eckersly was not a mediocre starter. He won 20 games once and was in the top 10 in Cy Young twice. But you know who is mediocre? That's right, Paul "don't confuse me with Don Aase" Quantrill.Finally, reporting to the mods regarding pr0n links is akin to those fanatic groups that send 1 million letters to the FCC to get radio stations fined for saying naughty words. Just don't listen to that station!!! You are know officially in that group.

Dude, Quantrill is one of the main reasons LB has had so much success. most of us are losing games late. Larry hasn't lost late at all. Quantrill has been unhittible. If you really want to continue using the "aw-shucks, I'm not doing anything wrong" defense Larry, I'm fine with it. You're not doing another league with us anyway and most of us recognize the rule dodging you've done in this one. Your result in this league will be tainted. Enjoy winning cheaply.

Now, personally Larry....I DID NOT post porn anywhere in this thread. If you want to post lies about me, you're a bigger **** than I though. I guess it's par for the course, given your history of cheating. If you want to report my posts for calling you a "gay, cheating whore" or a "gay, dirty whore", I guess that's fine too. Should I report the posts you call me somebody's "#####"?

Bottom line is, you're really not a good guy Larry. You sell out your "friends" and do whatever it takes to beat them. You lost a lot of respect last night, from MANY people (if that was possible).

BTW ERA isn't important in the sim, the most important stats are WHIP and OAV, so while 2003 is still his best year, it shouldn't be that much better than any other year. Quantrill and Wakefield haven't blown up yet, that's the main reason he's doing so well so far.

when I took Smoltz I intended on starting him...Then I realized that he's been a very good reliever for like 5 years or so, and that I could get a lot of good starters a little later (and could go with a 4-man rotation when I got Gooden), so I started Mathewson, Clemens, Gooden, & Glavine and used Smoltz as a reliever...

wasn't sim-fishing at all, just I had a reliever who was also a very, very good starter and needed the reliever part of his career more...

1. Smoltz, John 2002 Atlanta Braves R 81 3.26 3-2 55 1.04 .197 2.70 9.55 0.45 $4,446,003

Smoltz was sim-fishing?? lolI can understand thinking Quantrill was not legit, but SMOLTZ?!?!

for two, I'll just reverse the five of your votes the next time no one is on if all it takes is the people who are on the board at hte moment to make a decision...

you know that isn't how it works and the fact that you are trying to supercede what everyone thinks without really asking shows that you aren't doing this for the best of the league, 'cuz if you were, you'd have let everyone decided before you made ultimatums...

How can you look at that list and not say you simfished Smoltz? His "best" season: 3.26 ERA

His "2nd best" season: 2.75 ERA

His "3rd best" season, which you get: 1.12 ERA

That's sick.

In any case, you're full of it if you say that wasn't simfished. It wasn't illegal (unlike Quantrill) and you're not being asked to change it (unlike Quantrill) but it was most certainly simfished.

1. Quantrill isn't illegal, quit whining...2. it wasn't sim-fished, he was picked where he more than deserved to be picked... if anything he was picked lower than he deserved....

you can't sim-fish when a guy drops to you...

 

[Nipsey]

OK - finally read through all of the posts and this is my analysis.

Larry - In the beginning I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but now its official, I don't like you. Also, I'm pretty sure the sweet Lord doesn't like you either.

:crosses LarryBoy of off Xmas card list:

Also, LB, Eckersly was not a mediocre starter. He won 20 games once and was in the top 10 in Cy Young twice. But you know who is mediocre? That's right, Paul "don't confuse me with Don Aase" Quantrill.

Finally, reporting to the mods regarding pr0n links is akin to those fanatic groups that send 1 million letters to the FCC to get radio stations fined for saying naughty words. Just don't listen to that station!!! You are know officially in that group.

Another. Let's just play w/o him next time and be done with it.

Agree with Funkley and Spock's takes about larry_boy's use of Quantrill.That said, I also agree with Sammy -- there's no durned way that Quantrill is responsible for LB's team's record to date ... and what goes up must come down. How much difference could Quantrill really be making? I know he's statistically good so far, but still.

This is not meant to get Larry all mad, but just looking at his stats, can anyone explain how he is 8 games better than the rest of us?

I don't know either...and Cappy (and everyone else)...

since everyone is here today...

if the whole league thinks I should change Quantrill and cheated, I will change him... I just refuse to change it 'cuz a small handful of guys think I did who've been whining since we started that I was winning...

BTW ERA isn't important in the sim, the most important stats are WHIP and OAV, so while 2003 is still his best year, it shouldn't be that much better than any other year. Quantrill and Wakefield haven't blown up yet, that's the main reason he's doing so well so far.

ERA and WHIP both matter in the sim. His WHIP in the "3rd" year was .87, the others were 1.07 and 1.07. So I'd say a 20% difference is pretty big.

Dude, Quantrill is one of the main reasons LB has had so much success. most of us are losing games late. Larry hasn't lost late at all. Quantrill has been unhittible. If you really want to continue using the "aw-shucks, I'm not doing anything wrong" defense Larry, I'm fine with it. You're not doing another league with us anyway and most of us recognize the rule dodging you've done in this one. Your result in this league will be tainted. Enjoy winning cheaply.

Now, personally Larry....I DID NOT post porn anywhere in this thread. If you want to post lies about me, you're a bigger **** than I though. I guess it's par for the course, given your history of cheating. If you want to report my posts for calling you a "gay, cheating whore" or a "gay, dirty whore", I guess that's fine too. Should I report the posts you call me somebody's "#####"?

Bottom line is, you're really not a good guy Larry. You sell out your "friends" and do whatever it takes to beat them. You lost a lot of respect last night, from MANY people (if that was possible).

woah there, Nipsey... for one I said I thought it was you... I didn't say it was you...someone did post legit porn in here...

second, I didn't sell out anyone, and I didn't cheat... The only people cheating are the ones deciding to change the rules now without everyone's approval....

half the people in the league haven't said anything about this yet, and most of the people who have said things had previously vocalized that they plain don't like me a long time ago...

but, yeah, those opinions aren't tainted...

I think your mis-reading what we're saying. I agree that the Quantrill thing is a bit sketchy to say the least, it's just that Quantrill isn't the sole reason he's doing so well. He's certainly part of the reason, but not the whole reason. I know what your saying though, my bullpen has cost me at least 7 games.If we do this again, we need to rethink how we do RP. It's too important to these games to be as half-assed as we did it. Maybe we need just one closer and then fill in the rest of your roster, but it does need to be reworked.

because an understood rule that wasn't known by all isn't a rule...no one ever stated that you HAD to use the third best reliever season, therefore we didn't have to do it...

WHO CARES ABOUT QUANTRILL.Why the hell would anyone report activity in here when they are a part of the draft?????THIS is inexcusable. I can forgive a bending of the rules. I can not forgive breaching the trust of 15 other guys.

ERA doesn't matter in the SIM since it looks at each at-bat separately. WHIP and OAV are what it looks at.

How come you're the only one that couldn't figure it out? Capella already posted the note that that talked about how relievers were to be handled. I guess we should have written a manifesto regarding specific rule language, had it notarized and then send each owner a copy......yours in crayon.Give it a break. NO ONE else has spoken up about this not being clear to them.

 

[Bogart]

I have to bench my first position player due to fatigue, damnit!! Thankfully, its against D,A and L. Maybe I should just bench my entire starting lineup just for grins.Anyone else having to actually manage playing time yet??

 

[10993]

Another problem comes in to play with players who were both SP and RP.

Dennis Eckersley's lights out 1990 season, complete with 0.61 ERA and 73/4 K/BB ratio, is salaried much lower than a bunch of mediocre starting pitching seasons. Clearly that was his best career season and one that shouldn't be allowed in our game.

this is the big problem..say for some reason that ruth's 3rd-best season was one where he was a SP..obviously you'd want him as an OF (I'm sure this isn't the case, just saying)..that presents a problem.

wish we had thought of this beforehand.

maybe we can work something out where players who served dual-roles in their career, and the sim doesn't allow for it, we could have it be their 3rd-best year at that position the draftor requests? say for eck, his 3rd-best year as a RP, and for Babe, his 3rd-best year as an OF?

make sense?

I think this makes sense only with the pitching roles. So SP/RP, OF/SP, etc.Otherwise, people already made, or didn't make, draft choices based on the positional (C/1B/2B/SS/3B/OF) eligbility of players, and it wouldn't be fair to change it at this point.

well yeah, I agree..

Larry, I don't know what you're reading in this, but as Spartans pointed out, the rule interpretation was made specifically to prevent people from stealing Eck's best season, or Quantrill's best season, if it was salaried lower than starting seasons. The solution presented is to use 3rd-best RP seasons for relievers--which you have circumvented, and therefore must fix. If anyone else, like Oso, was fond to have intentionally or unintentionally cheated, they would fix their team as well.

This is what I quoted to you, Larry. The relevant part is the response to Spartans' concern that someone would try to pull the s**t that you pulled here, getting a guy's best year as a reliever by stacking other years in front of it. SPECIFICALLY what you did is what is outlawed here. If your obvious lack of intelligence doesn't allow you to comprehend that fact, you could at least shut the f**k up about us not posting the rule as it was stated.

 

[Sammy3469]

Larry in all seriousness...How can you use Smoltz's 3rd best RP season and then argue that you can use Quantrill's 3rd best season overall. It makes absolutely No Sense, and that's being kind.That's the reason everyone is so pissed. Please change it

I've sat down Cobb and Howard because their fatigue dipped into the low 90's. Matter of fact, Cobb and Howard have hovered around mid 90 since we started. No one else has been below a 100.

Yes, it was clearly stated that if you wanted to use a guy who was both a SP and a RP as a RP, which is what you have done, that you would use his 3rd year as a RP, which you have not done. It's in the post I quoted above.

Oh!!!! You said you think it was me posting porn? Ahhhh! My fault. I was unaware that you thought.Larry, you are cheating. If I could use Eck's best reliever season, I'd have 6-8 more wins. That's a fact. The rule was put in place to AVOID what you're doing now. You're using a relief pitcher's BEST season as a reliever. YOU ARE CHEATING.

It's really no matter. Last time you do one of these with us and whatever result you end up with here will not be recognized. I'm assuming if you don't make the change, your team will be locked from you accessing it. And to be honest, even if you DO make the change, you should be tossed from this thread, tossed from the league and tossed from the planet.

Yes ... Alan Trammell's third season is one in which he had only 504 at-bats. Most of my other guys are above 570 or so (except my two catchers).What this has meant is that Trammell has a perpetual fatigue rating around 94-97 depending on what he did the game before (whereas the otehr gusy are always at 100). I can still play him at those levels -- and he still does well -- but I do have to rest him sooner or later to get him back to 100.

AT THE VERY LEAST we should remove Larry from the FFA vote, the OOTP sims, and all other venues. That's the price for both cheating and narcing.
