Commish Notes

  • Hello everyone. I hope you are doing well.

    Far be it from me to give advice to seasoned pros like your all but I have noticed that some of you have been struggling with making your pitching minimums so far. If I may offer some advice....

    We need to make at least 45 IPs (Innings Pitched) each week or your forfeit all your pitching stats (it's a big bummer). From your "My Team" page, click on the gray "Opponents" button. That will show you who you are playing for the next couple of days. Players that have a green dot on the sides indicate that they are playing. A red dot means that they are not playing. this is important for both hitters and pitchers. A green dot by a starting pitcher indicates that he is targeted to pitch that day. I think the pitching is projected out 5 days so you can plan to pick up guys if you think you will be short.

    To help you understand how pitching SPs (Starting Pitchers) and RP (Relief Pitchers) work let me share some thoughts. On average, each starting pitcher pitches about once a week and averages 5 or 6 innings per outing. Each relief pitcher pitches about twice a week and averages 1 inning pitched per outing. To make your minimum innings, the quick math says that each team needs 6 or 7 starting pitchers (6+6+6+5.5+5.5+5+5=39 innings) and 3 relief pitchers (2+2+2=6 innings) to make their 45 IP's (39+6). The less SP's you have, the more RP's you need...

    Good hunting, everyone...

  • Monkeys in our barrel,

    There are two games, one this morning and one tomorrow morning, that are happening in Korea a full week in advance of the regular season. Even though Yahoo hasn't posted anything about them, I think these two games do count.

    Just a friendly heads up for your chimp in charge...

  • Hello everyone,

    For our newer manager, here is how our Keeper and live draft process works:

    The 13 original teams have the opportunity to keep up to four of their best players from last year's roster. This gives them the opportunity to retain a couple of great players but doesn't allow them to hoard players that the new teams need to have a competitive chance this season.

    The one new team (this is awesome that you are joining us and I hope you have fun!) don't have the keeper option yet since they did not have rosters from last season (pretty obvious). Next year, all teams will be able to keep up to four players.

    To keep the league competitive every year, we use a linear draft order that is based on how teams placed last season. i.e. the last team would draft first each round and the first-place team would draft last each round. The new teams will be placed at the front of this draft list based on the order they joined the league. i.e. you should see new person #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, original team 12th place, original team 11th place, etc...

    Once I have approved of the keepers, I then manually set the draft order using the method described above. You can view this order by clicking on the following buttons = Draft = Draft Results = then you can see them by the Round or Team buttons on the Draft Results page.

    Please feel free to email me at heathmaccoy@yahoo.com if I can help clarify this for you as I want everyone to be competitive and have fun winning!

    Good hunting, my monkeys!

  • You can now see your place in the draft and the keepers everyone selected by clicking on Draft then Draft Results - then Round or Team.

    Remember, the live draft is the following Sunday night (3/17) at 7:00pm.

    Good hunting, my monkey minions!

  • Just a last-minute reminder.... This Friday midnight is our keeper deadline. You can keep up to 4 players. For the two new teams, you will pick at the top of the draft order...

  • last minute consideration.... would you prefer On Base Percentage or On Base Percentage + Slugging Percentage as the last hitting category?

    Thanks,

  • We just need two more managers, kids. You all have the ability to send out invitations to people you know who will have fun, be ridiculous, and play competitively in this nonsense! (you can always forward their emails to me).

    If I don't hear back or see new team pop up in the next two weeks, I will open our league to the public Yahoo board.

    Thanks,

    Heath
