I promised you guys something on relief pitching, and I know you've been eagerly waiting..... Keep in mind that everyone had a game or two where by hook or by crook they managed to have a guy who got clobbered on their bench. Anway, the criteria here is a blown save and a loss. Qualls CC 4-08 -28

How does this make any sense?? IP W L OUT H ER BB K PTS
SP Carpenter 7 21 4 1 6 6 15
RP Rodney 2 1 6 3 2 1 3 -13
Rodney x3 6 18 9 6 3 9
So.... 2 ER in 2 innings, even tho Ks were much better, and BBs were much better... comparible IP/OUTs... You can't really assume x3 would be accurate, but still -- a 28 pts difference??? Someone wanna explain that to me, please.... :rolleyes:

-38, actually

Millwood 1 L 1.1 9 9 9 1 0I think you forgot the +1 he gets for making the start - like getting points at an exam in school just for filling out the top part with your name and everything. Then -6 for taking the loss, and so on. But yeah....Congratulations.  That's the worst start of the season so far, and by a nice, healthy margin besides. Surpasses Bartolo Colon's -28 on April 9th by 10 points.

Rodney x3 6 18 9 6 3 9
Someone wanna explain that to me, please.... :rolleyes: I think the above may qualify as a whine; I'm not sure. :p  Anyway, here's the explanation: First of all, how are the IP/OUTS and ERs allowed comparable?  Carpenter pitched 7 innings and Rodney only 2. Carpenter allowed 1 earned run and Rodney allowed 2. More than three times as many IPs for Carpenter, half as many ERs allowed. Most importantly, though, you left out the -6 for the save opportunity (which was not offset by the +8 for the save), so the -13 includes that 6 points, and if you want to compare it exactly with Carpenter, figure it as a -7. I've already said that I think that a flaw in the scoring system is that it penalizes a RP twice in these situations: -6 for the loss and -6 for the blown save (see my chart above). I think that a pitcher - a "closer", who is theoretically the top guy on his team at that job, not a #4 or #5 starter, for example - who comes into a game with a lead to protect, in a game where his team has kinda mentally put the game into the win column already, who proceeds to turn the win into a loss has done a lot more damage to his team than when a #5 starter loses the game (I know, a loss is a loss, but stil.....). But that said, I do think -as the chart shows - that the negative score in those cases is a little disproportionate in relation to the act, and I'd likr to figure out a way to adjust it for next season so that the guy is not charged a -12 because he had a blown save and a loss.

Carpenter pitched 7 innings and Rodney only 2.
 I was comparing Carp's start with the other schmuck's RP x3 -- which was 1 IP different (I didn't need to go to decimal places, did I? :p ) Edit: You edited your post after I quoted it. :p My point being... who cares about 2 ER in 2 IP -- one could get a save easily and often in that case, if ONLY the SP had done well. My RP gave up 2 ER (big whooop!), yet, the negative points -- to me -- are disproportionate to an almost comparible start.... (Giving up 2 ER in 2 IP does NOT mean he'd've given up 2 ER EVERY 2 IP! It's a smaller sample!)

Those 2 ER, though, blew the save and got him the loss.
It's a lot more important 2 runs than a starter who gives up two runs in the first inning and has his team trailing 2-0.
Carpenter pitched well enough to give his team a great chance to win.
Rodney took a game that was practically won and turned it into a loss.
You're just looking at IPs and ERs allowed.
But, as I said....
I would agree that the RP is "overly-penalized" with the -6 for the blown save and the -6 for the loss.
6 of Rodney's -13 are from the BS.

Well, I don't think that is a viable long term strategy (except maybe for DB :p ), but on the other hand I believe that in your last 9 appearances by your starting pitchers you are -37. As far as whether or not the game "sucks", seriuosly..... I'm enjoying it. I think there are certain elements of strategy which make it a lot more interesting than the Salary Cap Game.

In all seriousness..... If you had tried to draft the worst 4th and 5th starters you could think of and proceeded to make free agent moves that dropped guys who were effective and added guys who were ineffective, I'd bet that by sheer luck and a well pitched game here and there you would have done better simply by accident. I find it truly amazing that you've done so poorly. Besides which, you are absolutlely ruining the starting pitcher's FPPG average for the entire league. :p Without your scores, it rises from 8.01 to 9.14  .

I only got semi-burned, I guess, with Sanchez and his -16.
-29 sounds like the record so far.
