Yep, that's my bad - didn't even think of the Home/away splits. Will cut them in half and see where we're at...

If I just simply cut total runs scored in half and divide by IP played at home:

sfords team has an adjusted R/9 of 3.87.
my team has an adjusted R/9 of 3.86.

If I divide total Runs by total ERs, and then multiple ER at home by that number, I get an estimated runs at home which would then allow me to divide by th park factor to give sford an adjusted home R/9 of 3.31 and my team an adjusted R/9 of 3.89.

Math isn't my strong suit so idk if these are the best way to calculate - but think it gives a good estimation

I use to be a 6th grade teacher. (Math and other subjects). You guys are way over my head!

Not that it matters but my team won the world series in 6 games

Just won the WS with a rotation of 1914 Russ Ford, 2010 Trevor Cahill, 1904 Barney Wolfe, 1906 Beany Jacobson, and 1981 Vern Ruhle.

Wolfe costs $3.6M for 173 RL innings. Jacobson costs $3.5M for 165 RL innings. Ruhle costs $3.5M for 151 RL innings.

In the regular season, Wolfe went 17-5, 3.43, 1.38 WHIP. Jacobson went 15-4, 2.92, 1.23 WHIP. Ruhle did not fare quite as well: 9-13, 5.42, 1.40 WHIP, though that's least partially tainted by 2 games where I left him in to throw a zillion pitches and he got killed.

For those who think deadballers like Wolfe and Jacobson will get hammered by unearned runs, I will point out that they gave up 4 and 5 unearned runs, respectively, all season.

In the postseason I went with Ford-Cahill-Jacobson, and ol' Beany was even better: 2-0, 0.64 ERA, 3 total runs allowed in 28 1/3 innings.

There are good value SP under $4M out there, but more importantly, you can absolutely win in SLB without trotting out the same cookie pitchers time and again.

Deadballers are no different than modern pitchers imo, in that, if you don’t draft for/plan for their weaknesses, it can be extremely hurtful imo.

I’ve found some great success with deadballers, but also have had horrible teams when I didn’t draft with their weaknesses in mind. Deadballers also don’t get as many pitches typically because of lower K/9 rates, so I typically have to draft more innings with deadballers. At least in my experience

In TWISL we found that performance and cost wise they are about the same...
