Round 2 Sound Off, 2017 Topic

The sac bunt philosophy debate is interesting. I always set my pitchers to 5 unless they are notably good hitters (above .250 with over 50 PAs). If they have under 50 PAs, their actual performance will be degraded from their real life average.

I've never studied the Sim results of bunts. Does anybody have any data? The one hole in my argument could be double plays if bunting is a good way to stay out of them.

Hurray!... My first "schwarze" in round 2.

And, yes that sounds weird...

Haven't had anything better than 3-3 since this last post. When will I ever learn?

It looks like the hardest league to figure out was the 100M Catchy Title Theme, while 80M The Chain and 255M D.E.A.L. Redux are playing the flattest (which likely make them the hardest the predict or count on the rest of the way).

My teams' win % in 1 run games is .455. In games decided by other than 1 run, my teams' win % is .546.
Very annoying.
Would be interested in seeing everyone else's numbers.

I'll update them in the Google Sheets dashboard over the weekend.

Well, my visit to 2nd place overall (at 1/29 am) was short-lived. A nice 0-6 pm cycle included 5 runs in the 8th to lose by 2, 7 runs in the 9th to lose by 3 and a more typical tie-game lost by 1 in 8th. At least the other three games weren't blowout losses.

I really wish you hadn't asked, as it caused me to dig deeper into my combined team's mediocrity:

one run games win % = .561 through 122 games
Other than... .483

I have one team, my "toss it together to stop accuring penalty points" Chain team, that is 10-22 in one runners, and 54-68 overall. I have been luckier than believed.

A nice 1-11 run for my six teams.

disco is making me nervous

**Chayne Mansfield playing well and still trying to dig out of overall last place (#144) in the STDEV rankings. If it comes down to leaning into the tape at the finish line for spot #143, you know who has the anatomical advantage!!

Man, this season can't end soon enough. 1-5, 3-3, 0-6 day yesterday. Currently 4 playoff teams, but every one of those spots is 3-4 games away from not making the playoffs.

At the moment (after 2/9 pm2 games), we have both #1 and #144 teams in the overall STDEV rankings. Probably won't last long (the #144 may, the #1 unlikely)

Up 3-1 in the LCS against Ozo. Blow game 5. Blow game 6. Lose game 7, 13-12.

We were down 12-3, rallied all the way back to 12-12 and then lost in the bottom of the 9th.

That one hurts.
