Shtickless - Unless Being Dead Is A Shtick Topic

Handing out 50 thumbs is gonna be a full time job.  On the weekend, that may just be every single post in Shtickless (even DMurph!), plus trolling to see where else Anton and others have posted.

I don't know if we need actual anti-tanking rules so much as collusive behavior against said tanking teams.
I like where your head's at.

Nice $700 for new tires, tie rod end, and alignment. Had a blow out while taking the kid to the docs.
That's inappropriate to do with your kid in the car. Who was the dude who was driving you?

Hey, if Robusk says  talking to Moy is like talking to a 14-year old girl, I think only Nuge is qualified to challenge the point.
Cmon man...I keep everything legal...and robusk is just as much of a kidtoucher as I am
Unfortunately, this is true.  I have to quit going to all ages shows.

b0t and Cheez clearly know what they are talking about.

+ = A good play; one which an average defender wouldn't have made

- = A bad play; one which an average defender would have made

It's different from errors, because errors can be charged liberally. The +/- places direct notation on the number of positive or negative defensive plays someone makes.

A SS can get charged for an error when your 1B with no range can't make the stretch to get a throw. And the fact is that errors are much more random than + or - plays.

Isn't +/- a judgement call to? What makes an average player?

Even if the 1b gets the error and it was really the ss fault its still one team error.

My question was how do you rank team defense in the standing. +/- seems like more of an individual stat than a team stat just like in hockey.
1. It isn't a judgment call because the simulation is specially telling you who is making an exceptionally bad or good play. An average player is to HBD as you are to posting in Shtickless. Gin gets a + for his posts. Alcheez gets -.

2. The 1B never gets the error unless they mishandle the ball, and even then it's sometimes attributed to the throw. If your SS makes an acrobatic play and can get the ball towards first base in time, but your DH masquerading at 1B can't extend to get it, that error goes to your SS.

3. It can be considered a team stat when you see the cumulative good and bad plays that a team makes. A good defense makes a lot of plays that would otherwise be hits.
Don't bother.  bret's children are smarter than moy.

The conflation of +/- in HBD fielding with +/- in hockey is one of the most awesomely ignorant transpositions by someone who can actually dress themselves that I've ever seen.  Homophones must absolutely ******* rock your world.
I just spit tea.

Moy's mom probably kept smoking the cigars and drinking the scotch while she was pregnant.

If we institute any sort of rules, I'm out of $.  Not because I plan on tanking or support it, but because, as bot said....our ridicule should be enough.
It didnt work on dherz.
and yet, I'm strangely not often mocked about it.  Then again, I've been doing a ****** job at the "stockpiling elite prospects" part.
You did a good job with it in HR.

So how's bret rourking you? I assume it's the whole NJ thing, but I want to see the conversation.
True...I'll post it eventually.
Although the worst case scenario is just that I fleeced NLM out of 2.75 million...but I don't like abusing that resource unless I really need to.  I've got kind of a crop-rotation thing going on with a few owners...and this **** is ******* with it.
Don't sleep on some of the other untapped resources.  There are a few you aren't farming.
