/in both

Ninetails, how complicated it is depends on your knowledge of baseball or statistics. If you are good at one of the two, it should be easy to pick up. Otherwise, yes it can be intimidating.

[Kmd4390]

Awesome!

[Kmd4390]

Thats ok, we've got plenty of people who can help out

[Kmd4390]

I'll be sure to set rankings in advance.

[Kmd4390]

Its in two weeks. Someone will help you get there when it's time.

[Kmd4390]

Ok screw it I just suck it up and draft lol. Draft is in less than three hours and I haven't been to bed yet because I was at work. I would normally be getting up in six hours to go back. So I'm drafting right in middle of my "night" then going back to work til 7am. But Yahoo is so far off from my own rankings this year and I don't trust it even with my own rankings.

[Kmd4390]

Id rather play two people a fourth time than play someone five

[Kmd4390]

4 on the IL for me

[Kmd4390]

Yeah that surprised me this morning

[Kmd4390]

My only preference is a firm decision soon.

[Kmd4390]

Holy Giolito!

Nero you currently lead me in ERA

D3f 13-20-3 9.5 GB (1-2)

Categories haven't changed anyone's placement, just the gaps in standings.

[Kmd4390]

Um why wasn't yesterday scored at all?

[Kmd4390]

Yeah they fixed it

[Kmd4390]

Nero 30-14-4 (3-1)

Joe 30-25-5 7 GB (3-2)
Kilga 30-27-3 8 GB (3-2)
Rhinox 25-33-2 13.5 GB (1-4)

Ninetales 21-38-1 11 GB (1-4)

Ouch lol

[Kmd4390]

Yeah but I missed out by forgetting to check or not waking up in time like three times that week so it's even lol

Boyd having his start postponed on Sunday was gonna make me mad if I lost more pitching stats.

[Kmd4390]

It definitely was.

[Kmd4390]

Ducking auto correct

[Kmd4390]

Hey now this isn't the place for pics of your big duck

[Kmd4390]

Nero 48-19-5 (5-1)
Joe 37-30-5 11 GB (4-2)
Kilga 36-32-4 12.5 GB (4-2)
Rhinox 26-44-2 23.5 GB (1-5)

Kmd 37-28-7 (5-1)
Sharon 35 32-5 3 GB (2-4)
D3f 30-37-5 8 GB (2-4)
Ninetales 22-49-1 18 GB (1-5)

All is right in the world again lol. The order is the same, just the gaps are weird. Nero and I are both 5-1 but he was a massive lead over the 4-2 teams in his division while the 2-4 teams are right on my back. Joe and Kilga (both 4-2) do hold a narrow lead over Sharon (2-4) for the Wild Cards though, so again, the same but with a weird gap.

[Kmd4390]

It's been a rough week for that already. I'm playing short due to my 7th IL spot being used and having no adds left. And it rained all along the east coast today. Luckily the Yankees and Blue Jays have a double header today but the seven inning doubleheaders mean we're robbed of four innings and 1-2 AB from those hitters. And it does weird things to pitching. So yeah still sucks.

[Kmd4390]

Nero 56-22-6 (6-1)
Joe 47-32-5 9.5 GB (5-2)
Kilga 39-41-4 18 GB (4-3)
Rhinox 35-47-2 23 GB (2-5)

Sharon 44 35-5 (3-4)
Kmd 40-36-8 2.5 GB (5-2)
D3f 32-47-5 12 GB (2-5)
Ninetales 25-58-1 21 GB (1-6)

My 5-2 record isn't good enough to top 3-4.

[Kmd4390]

Nero 63-25-8 (7-1)
Joe 50-39-7 13.5 GB (5-3)
Kilga 43-47-6 21 GB (4-4)
Rhinox 41-51-4 24 GB (3-5)

Kmd 51-37-8 (6-2)
Sharon 52 39-5 0.5 GB (4-4)
D3f 33-58-5 19.5 GB (2-6)
Ninetales 29-66-1 25.5 GB (1-7)

Category based standings have Sharon (4-4) right on my (6-2) tail and 8.5 games up on Kilga (4-4) for the last playoff spot. That appears to be the only major difference. If the season ended today, it would effectively act as a tiebreaker.

[Kmd4390]

Nero 67-32-9 (7-2)
Joe 56-45-7 12 GB (5-3-1)
Kilga 53-49-6 15.5 GB (5-4)
Rhinox 46-58-4 23.5 GB (3-6)

Sharon 59 43-6 (5-4)
Kmd 57-43-8 1 GB (6-2-1)
D3f 30-63-5 19.5 GB (3-6)
Ninetales 31-76-1 30.5 GB (1-8)

Division 1, Kilga put himself right back in the playoff picture this week which is true regardless of standings format. He's right behind Joe in both category standings and weekly results.

In Division 2, Sharon reclaimed the lead by one game in category based standings despite being tied for the fourth best record and me having the second best record in the league.

[Kmd4390]

My IL is already full. If Joey Gallo needs time on the IL, he'll be my 11th.

[Kmd4390]

Nero 76-35-9 (8-2)
Joe 62-50-8 14.5 GB (6-3-1)
Kilga 58-55-7 19 GB (5-5)
Rhinox 49-67-4 29.5 GB (3-7)

Sharon 67 46-7 (6-4)
Kmd 62-49-9 4 GB (6-3-1)
D3f 43-71-6 24.5 GB (3-7)
Ninetales 37-81-2 32.5 GB (2-8)

With a 6-5 loss, Kilga did himself more favors in category standings than he would have in a simple win/loss format. He's still just outside the Wild Card (4.5 GB of Joe instead of 1 GB of Sharon).

I took a big loss. but still trail Sharon in category standings despite a better record. I play Sharon this week so that's a fun one to follow.

[Kmd4390]

Nero 78-45-9 (8-3)
Joe 72-52-8 6.5 GB (7-3-1)
Kilga 68-57-7 11 GB (6-5)
Rhinox 51-77-4 29.5 GB (3-8)

Sharon 77-48-7 (7-4)
Kmd 64-59-9 12 GB (6-4-1)
D3f 49-76-7 28 GB (4-7)
Ninetales 42-87-3 37 GB (2-9)

Big shakeup this week with Nero and I both getting killed by Kilga and Sharon. Kilga has passed me in the playoff race (although Im a half game better in matchup based standings) and tightened up the race for Division 1. Sharon has taken over complete command of Division 2.

Interesting note, Kilga and I play each other this week as the last team in and first team out of the playoffs.

[Kmd4390]

I activated Muncy from IL but with Civale and Fried going on, I'm up to 11 again

[Kmd4390]

Nero 81-52-11 (8-4)
Joe 79-56-9 3 GB (8-3-1)
Kilga 75-62-7 8 GB (7-5)
Rhinox 57-83-4 27.5 GB (3-8-1)

Sharon 83-54-7 (7-4-1)
Kmd 69-66-9 13 GB (6-5-1)
D3f 56-79-9 26 GB (5-7)
Ninetales 46-94-4 38.5 GB (2-10)

Division 1 tightens up even more. And it's Joe who would be most hurt by categories if that's what we do. He'd be second in the division with the best record in the entire league. Kilga would have the final wild card either way

In Division 2, Sharon has control but I'm not far behind.

[Kmd4390]

Nero 86-59-11 (8-5)
Joe 86-61-9 1 GB (9-3-1)
Kilga 83-66-7 5 GB (8-5)
Rhinox 61-91-4 28.5 GB (3-9-1)

Sharon 93-56-7 (8-4-1)
Kmd 75-72-9 17 GB (6-5-2)
D3f 62-85-9 30 GB (5-7-1)
Ninetales 48-104-4 46.5 GB (2-11)

Division 1 continues to tighten up. Joe is now 1.5 games better but trails Nero by 1 category. Kilga also closes the gap a little more this week. Division 2 looks to be all Sharon's for now.

[Kmd4390]

Joe 96-61-11 (10-3-1)
Nero 91-65-12 4.5 GB (8-6)
Kilga 85-76-7 13 GB (8-6)
Rhinox 64-99-5 35 GB (3-10-1)

Sharon 101-59-8 (9-4-1)
Kmd 85-74-9 15.5 GB (7-5-2)
D3f 68-90-10 32 GB (6-7-1)
Ninetales 48-114-4 54 GB (2-12)

Joe now leads Division 1 regardless of format.

I moved back into the 4 seed.

Don't forget it's a long week with the All Star Break.

[Kmd4390]

My IL Is still at 10 lol

[Kmd4390]

Joe 105-64-11 (11-3-1)
Nero 99-67-14 4.5 GB (9-6)
Kilga 88-85-7 19 GB (8-7)
Rhinox 66-107-7 41 GB (3-11-1)

Sharon 103-68-9 (9-5-1)
Kmd 93-77-10 9.5 GB (8-5-2)
D3f 77-92-11 25 GB (7-7-1)
Ninetales 51-122-7 53 GB (2-13)

After 15 weeks, category standings keep Nero close in Division 1 at 4.5 games back (2.5 GB in head to head standings) and give him a comfortable lead over Kilga despite being just one game ahead H2h.

In Division 2, Sharon has a 9.5 category lead and only 0.5 games H2h. She's still benefiting from categories, but only slightly now.

In the Wild Card race, I pulled ahead in either format, but it's still close.

The top two teams face off this week. Sharon vs Joe. Nero has an opportunity to get back into the top two overall, maybe even taking the division lead back in category based standings as he faces Ninetails. I'll be looking to close the gap in Division 2 with my matchup vs Rhinox.

[Kmd4390]

Joe 107-74-11 (11-4-1)
Nero 103-74-15 2 GB (9-7)
Kilga 94-89-9 14 GB (9-7)
Rhinox 66-119-7 43 GB (3-12-1)

Sharon 113-70-9 (10-5-1)
Kmd 105-77-10 7.5 GB (9-5-2)
D3f 81-98-13 30 GB (7-8-1)
Ninetales 58-126-8 55.5 GB (3-13)

So things got interesting if we go by records. Kilga tied Nero for the 4 seed. And I pulled within half a game for Division 2.

If we go categories, Sharon took over first place overall.

I really lost to a player that isn't even playing?

But gained ground in your division in categories.

[Kmd4390]

Joe 116-76-12 (12-4-1)
Nero 105-84-15 9.5 GB (9-8)
Kilga 103-92-9 14.5 GB (10-7)
Rhinox 73-123-8 45 GB (4-12-1)

Sharon 123-72-9 (11-5-1)
Kmd 107-86-11 15 GB (9-6-2)
D3f 85-105-14 35.5 GB (7-9-1)
Ninetales 61-135-8 62.5 GB (3-14)

So we have a crazy week of results here if we go with H2H records, Kilga has passed Nero for the 4 seed and is basically tied with me for the 3. If we decide to keep categories, he's still 5 back. On top of that, Kilga plays Nero this week while I face Sharon.

[Kmd4390]

Last week's update:

Joe 128-76-12 (13-4-1)
Kilga 112-95-9 17.5 GB (11-7)
Nero 108-93-15 18.5 GB (9-9)
Rhinox 73-135-8 57 GB (4-13-1)

Sharon 126-80-10 (11-6-1)
Kmd 115-89-12 10 GB (10-6-2)
D3f 90-111-15 33.5 GB (7-10-1)
Ninetales 67-140-9 59.5 GB (4-14)

Forgot to do this last week. This does not reflect tonight ending the new week yet.

Kilga now has control over the final Wild Card over Nero. Categories actually make it closer (1 category back, but two games back in record).

My win over Sharon helped me close the gap for our division.

[Kmd4390]

Yahoo: Jack Flaherty is back on IL.
Me: Dammit, I just got him back too and my IL was finally down to 6 players. Oh well I'll just add Triston McKenzie so I'm at least not missing that start this week
Yahoo later that day: Lol he's on IL now too. And you're out of adds for the week.

[Kmd4390]

Joe 135-81-12 (14-4-1)
Kilga 116-103-9 20.5 GB (11-8)
Nero 110-102-16 23 GB (9-10)
Rhinox 77-143-8 60 GB (4-14-1)

D3f 95-118-15 36.5 GB (7-11-1)
Ninetales 75-144-9 59.5 GB (5-14)

[Kmd4390]

Good luck kilga

[Kmd4390]

Coming into the last day tied. This is gonna be crazy

[Kmd4390]

Honestly I think you just got unlucky with some end of season craziness. Lopez is getting one start coming off of IL which costs Rogers a game. The Mets are going Syndergard coming back from his injury instead of Stroman before his free agency. And the Brewers are giving Anderson a chance to show he belongs on the playoff roster instead of starting Peralta today.

[Kmd4390]

Congrats kilga. Great season. Was fun watching you come all the way back in the standings. Come back next year please.
