Yes, that's true. But in that case, shouldn't we reward starters on better teams because they appear in many more meaningful games throughout the season? How many high-pressure starts has an SP on the Marlins or the Padres or (sob) the Mets made this year? After June, none.
-
It's an interesting debate but we don't actually get a choice on individual stats. There are a few different scoring formats but I think all of them use saves and holds.
-
i disagree b/c those scenarios require a certain type of pressure tested RP. Not everyone can do it and we'd be placing the same value on some that come in a 10-3 blowout and gets 3 outs in the 5th vs. someone who comes in when its 5-3 with bases loaded and he gets his team out of that jam with no runs scoring.
-
Our league was early on wins-are-useless. I wonder if we should ditch saves and holds, too. Why should a good relief pitcher earn fewer points just because he's on a bad team that's rarely ahead when he comes in? How is that different from a good starter on a bad team?

The Mets Are So Bad They Killed the Win: New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom may destroy decades of baseball convention and convince even the crustiest baseball purist that the win is useless. He might be the unluckiest pitcher in history... The 30-year-old right-hander has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his last 19 starts, a stretch dating back to April 16, yet the Mets have gone just 5-14 in those games. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-mets-are-so-bad-they-killed-the-win-1533654360

Let us know when it is, so I can take Janson Junk.

Niko Goodrum? Ryan Mountcastle? Keston Hiura? As commissioner I feel it is my duty to warn whoever started these auctions that Awesomeness of Name is not a scoring category in this league. Yet.

Very proud of my new acquisition, pitching sensation Dylan Covey. Today's line against the Rangers: 0 Ks, 8 hits, 3 walks, and 4 homers in 2.1 innings, for an awesome -61.73 points. Thanks, man!

Now that the trade has been vetoed, I want to make sure the league knows the offer came to me unsolicited. My Love is a Flower has a rationalization for it, and it wasn't to screw over Holm or anyone else. I hope to beat Holm the old fashioned and honorable way: with a sharp stick.
-
I’m sure My Love is a Flower has his reasons for the trade and that everything is on the up and up but I’m vetoing for balance of power reasons, there are definitely better packages available for the players he’s giving away...

How does Kershaw, Contreras, Buxton, and $90 in exchange for a bunch of journeymen make sense? Am I missing something?

If by "rolls in" you mean three years of mediocrity, okay.
-
It was a lovely five days but the party’s over now. As usual (except last year), Fagin rolls in to an established league where I’m generally doing alright and just totally puts me in my place.
-
Dan is too kind. My offense is good, but the past month has been insane. I’ll cool down eventually, and when I do, my atrocious pitching will become more apparent.
-
It was a lovely month but the party's over now. As usual (except last year), our choices come down to a) collusion, or b) suffering through another year of Holm. Option A looking good as long as there's no special counsel.

Wow he eclipsed the Jordan Zimmerman -58 in 0.2 IP for me last year

Dylan Bundy today: 0.0 IP, 4 HR, one pink slip
