Wouldnt it be cool in HBD if batters and pitchers had (+) plays and (-) plays as an easy way to keep track of their performance?

And another HBD Question. Tried to find this in the database and chats but I got confused.

If I have to guys on long relief, and I want one to pitch if both are rested and the other to pitch if 1st is tired does making first A and second B do that?

No. New Orleans is at home and are the #1 seed in the NFC. Dallas was playing a hot hand and returned to being the turds they were.

I'm not sure how/why batters/pitchers would have +/- plays.

As I understand it, A pitchers will come in first if the game is close and B pitchers will come in first if the score has a wider margin. This applies to LR, SU and CL. Not exactly sure what the cut-off is for close/wide.

Is this thread still going on?

It appears that it is.

What did I miss?

A lot.

Do the Mets have any idea what they're doing?

It appears that they do not. Sadly, they are beginning to remind me of the Yankees from the 80s. "I DON'T CARE WHO YOU GET, JUST GET SOMEBODY!!!"

Is it true that the ONLY way to rebuild a really bad HBD team is through IFA?

To answer that question, I'll direct you to this thread.

You may or may not notice that there are no IFA on either WS winning roster. I'll add that I didn't dig into the IFA market until season 10 when I had turned that turd into an established winner.

did a post of mine dissapear from this thread?

Do you think that a female school teacher having relations with a male student is as bad as a male teacher having relations with a female student?

If it was not a question, Threadmaster Sergie dropped a redline on your ***.

Once you get past the "I'd have nailed Miss Smith, my 7th grade English teacher, if given half the chance" BS, it's an authority figure doing it with an underling who also happens to be a minor. That's not a situation that produces good results.

Why can't Canadians spell words like "color" and "favorite" correctly?
