NLD 41 - The Tradition Continues

Are you kidding me? We won 26-7 vs. Deep inj the gap. we scored more runs in that game than we usually score in 10 games.

I couldn't stand watching each inning unfold! You had 27 hits - more than both teams totaled in the next two games.

Joe, as always, thanks again for all the time and effort put into this league!!

On a side note, I would love to try the max injuries... Maybe its something we could discuss for season two? Maybe a larger cap with the ability for us to carry up to 28 like SOM allows?

Just random thoughts, either way, excited to get this lost season wrapped up and onto the next one lol

That's pretty crazy!

MG you're welcome. Glad you enjoy. As for the max injuries, I would REALLY not want to do this. The cards aren't priced for the injuries and, quite honestly, I haven't spent the time it would take to understand the impact, particularly on pitching. I don't think it is well thought out or tested by SOM either. Just one guy's opinion.

BTW, Chris Davis hit 4 HRs in one game against me tonight! http://365.strat-o-matic.com/game/430046/691

Kinda just a bump to get us back to page 1... All the work JTJ puts in this, we should never see page 2 !

But if anyone can figure my team out, please inform me, as I am so confounded by this squad, I stopped trying to figure anything out with it, or be surprised by 9-1 over 10 games, or upset at a 2-8 run.

Kinda like golfing for me, This is just fun, and no matter how poorly I am doing, its still not work.

Here are Spider's numbers, he was having problems formatting them. I haven't had a chance to analyze where and why were are different, but I wanted to put this out there for you guys to look at and comment on. Thoughts?

I haven't said much because I'm frustrated with my team as well. But yes, thx to Joe for the efforts he puts in.

The max injury is terrible! One league I played in I had three SPs with 60 game max injuries at one time.

BIG THANKS TO JOE for sorting through my scratchings.

Comments on my nums:

The "Injury" column numbers are a calculation of how much a teams hitting would improve, if they had no injuries.

As of last night, I am underestimating total runs scored by about 6%. My predictions for Runs Allowed are much worse than for Runs Scored - especially for Semper, BigA and my team.

Thanks guys,

I did some work on Luck factors today. Should get it out soon. Did that instead of analyzing the diffrences between Spider and me. I'll try to get to that too.

I echo the sentiments regarding the ratings Joe. Thanks Much.
This team is perplexing. I feel though not great , they should be playoff caliber. This league will end a streak of four consecutive titles across all leagues for me..


Thanks for your data as well Spider ! And to jtj for compiling.

Smoke,

You're team is just a little unbalanced right v left. Very good v LHP, not so much v RHP.

Also, your starters are pretty so-so and your pen is great. I'm guessing you just haven't come from behind too much.

Ok, luck factors for everyone

Really most teams are pretty balanced out except for Hawk how has been soooo good with one runners and with injuries. Dale and Semp have been somewhat lucky, both with unearned runs Semp also with the die rolls.

On the other side Big A has been the most unlucky with HR dif, one runs and win dif more than compensating for having a lot of rolls in his card. Jeep has also been a bit unlucky with HRs, one runners and unearned runs factoring bad and fewer injuries than expected to the good.

One thing that I thought was amazing was Smokey's luck in BP rolls. He's +14/15 in them!

Also, here is the fielding comparison. As you can see, the biggest difference is that Doug's fielding should be much better. The rest are pretty close.
