From The Department Of Useless StatisticsDon't take this personally DB, when I say that it was your incredible performance in starting pitching that inspired this little study.... A breakdown of how many times each we got a certain number of points per start. Note: I didn't include our three inactive league members, because a) It's work, and altho to a certain extent it's a labor of love b) I don't think that they're around or care, and c) The fact that they're not actively playing renders their stats fairly meaningless.

For the six of us who are actively playing, here's The Latest Projection TM 8092
JL 7784
PL 7740
CC 7073
JG 6723
DB 6268 (If DB can get his SP average up to a mere 1 FFPG from its current -0.75, that raises his projection to 6552)

Did I beat the highest SP points so far with 43? I think it's the first time that Schmidt wasn't pronounced Bull-Schmidt this year... 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

Yup.
43 is the highest score so far this year.
I haven't been keeping track of games in which the pitcher was not in someone's starting lineup, but I believe that his 43 is the highest score by any SP under any circumstances (Hudson had a 42 on 5-1).

Starting Pitching continues - again - to slump. Since reaching a league-wide high average of 8.44 FPPG on April 21st - after a hot streak which ran from April 14th thru April 21st and saw us score 1101 points in 93 starts, an average of 11.8 FPPG - we've made a total of 93 more starts and scored only 676 points, an average of 7.27 FPPG, bringing our overal average down to 7.96 FPPG.

One of our best days ever for SPs yesterday: 7 starts, 118 points, an average of 16.86 FPPG. That on the heels of yesterday, one of our worst days ever, with only 32 points in 9 starts, a mere 3.56 FPPG. Very little movement in the standings yesterday, with only JG (64) and CC (24) flip-flopping between 4th and 5th place. Everyone with at least a "decent" score yesterday (except for the slumping CC's 24 and PL's 4), as tallies ranged from 38 to 67, with 4 players (DJ, TM, JG, & DB) notching 61 or better (of course you could say that DB's high score was due mostly to the fact that he didn't have any SPs going yesterday  :p  ) Special mention, though, to DB's Chase Utley, the third player this year (along with DB's Albert Pujols and DJ's Troy Glaus) to have an offensive game of 15 points or better.

DA 213 800 28 200 53 76 1076Utley, DB, 16 ---------- Note: Certain elements of the following may come under the heading of a whine (because I got hit with a -23 from Jenks last night on a blown save and a loss); I'm not sure. Anyway..... Probably the only thing that I can honestly say that I'm not happy with in the scoring system - and this has been mentioned before - is the fact that a relief pitcher, when blowing a save and ultimately taking the loss, can wind up with a higher minus total than a starter who gets bombed and knocked out of the game after only an inning or two. Now, I would argue that it's considerably more devastating to a team when their closer comes in leading 3-1 or something, and gives up 3 runs in the ninth, and blows the save and takes the loss (and winds up with a fantasy score of minus 23 or so) than a game where the starter leaves the game losing 5-0 after 1.1 IPs or so, and takes the loss at the end (and winds up with the same minus 23).... BUT, there is just something that seems "wrong" about that - I just can't express exactly what it is that I think is wrong (maybe someone would like to put in their .02? Feel free. I'm not looking for agreement, like "yeah, it's wrong", but for the reason why it just instinctively seems to not make sense. I know that a few weeks ago when the question first came up I said I was gonna look at last year and see how many games there were in which a closer blew a save, took a loss, and wound up with a big minus total, and I actually did start such a study which I got about half way through. So, what I'm gonna do is try and complete that little exercise, and then go back to the beginning of this season (and I better do it soon, because I haven't been tracking anything at all about RPs, and if I wait much longer it's gonna be way too much of a pain in the ass to go back and assemble all the necessary data) and start keeping track of the "worst" relief appearances. As has been correctly pointed out several times already, we're all playing under the sames rules, but a Blown Save/Loss situation by a closer which leads to a score from, say, -15 to -25 or so is largely, I think, a matter of luck. I mean the "best" closers may only be in that situation maybe 3 times in a season, while the "worst" closers may blow a save and take the loss only 6 times, but that difference of three times (which, as I said, is completely unpredictable, I think) has the enormous impact of affecting our final point totals at the end of the season by anywhere from 60-80 points, which is a large enough spread - we're not talking about 3 or 4 points here - to make a difference.

Addition By Subtraction If ever there was proof of that famous phrase..... Look at the Dontrelle Willis for John Patterson deal between PL and CC. The very day after the deal is made Patterson goes on the Disabled List.
Couldn't escape the curse tonight, though. 
It really is amazing. 
I mean, it's not like you have a bunch of slouches on your team.
OK, so there's no Carpenter or Schilling or other superstar, but the guys you have are all supposed to at least be decent.
Who would've ever guessed that after so many starts you'd still be deep in the minus column?
BELIEVE ME, I feel your pain.
Are my SPs so much better than yours that the same thing couldn't have happened to me?
How does the saying go?

You feel my pain, huh? 26 points of offense in 17 games over the last two days'll do it. But as long as it's my offense, I'm not worried; they're all solid guys - they'll come around. Just all having a little min-slump at the same time. Now if it was pitching....... (Not that my RPs have done anything good lately..... :rolleyes: )

Yesterday was our 5th worst aggregate pitching score of the season: 7 starts, -3 points, -.43 FPPG.
We had four days which were worse, but all four occured by April 18th, within th firt 17 days of the season.
Yesterday was our worst day since.
Our FPPG average for starting pitchers now stands at 7.97 for the season.
If you would have asked me at the start of the season what I figured it would be, I would have guessed around 10 or 12 FPPG or so.
I guess we could have figured it out by taking the average scores of the top 55 starters or so from last year, but i bet if we did that now it would be a lot higher than 7.97
