Halladay, Santana, Haren, Capuano, Maine, and Sowers have about 9-11 starts each left (And that doesn't include anything from Jim Harden, who supposedly will be back for the last 2-3 weeks). I have 46 starts left. I’ve already looked at their team schedules, the games they will probably start, their opposition those games, home and away, etc., and barring injury or the complete collapse of one of them I do not anticipate any problem whatsoever in finding 46 starts to use out of their remaining 60 or so.

It really amazes me, JG, how you STILL - after all of this discussion - figure that a raw points lead represents your real lead.
It also amazes me how you lump yourself in there with JL, as if your relatively small difference in raw points was indicitive of the fact that you two were actually close in the standings.
Meanwhile, for all your bragging and bluster about how far ahead of me you are, I've chopped almost 200 points off your lead since July 25th and only had to use up five of the 25 starts in hand that I had on 7/25 to do so.
That means that I'm gaining ground in offense - which is as it should be, since the FPPG average of my offensive players is considerably higher than yours.
I've also gained ground at a faster pace than I expected to....
Back on 7/25 I was 500 points behind with 25 starts in hand.
So, all other things being equal, I needed to make up 20 points per start to catch you.
Now, I'm about 309 points behind with 20 starts in hand.
So, all other things being equal, I now need to average about 15.5 FPs per start to catch up.

Okay, even tho I benched him, I really don't understand how Ervin Santana got the Loss in a game where he left after .1 inning (5 pitches!) due to injury, after having given up only 1 run in a 2-14 ballgame. Makes no sense! IP H R ER W K
E Santana 0.1 1 1 1 0 1 (L, 12-6)
K Gregg 3.0 4 3 3 3 3
J Romero 0.1 5 6 6 1 0
H Carrasco 3.0 7 4 4 0 2
B Donnelly 1.1 0 0 0 1 1 Given... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
LAA 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 13 0
CLE 2 1 0 7 2 1 1 0 X 14 17 0 Was it Santana who lost that game, the first third of an inning?? NO, I don't think so...! Don't you think Romero's 6 ER's in .1 inning in the 4th contributed to the loss much more???? WTF??

Now you move your post, and make me look like I'm talking to myself. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: In .1 inning, it shouldn't matter. HE GOT ONE OUT BEFORE GETTING HURT -- it shouldn't matter! *HE* didn't lose the game. Let me repeat: HE did not LOSE the game for his team. The shitheads after him did. I would not be surprised if it was overturned by tomorrow. And if it's not, than that's a sorry rule in baseball.

Now that I see the play-by-play, it's even more ridiculous!
G Sizemore struck out swinging.
J Michaels reached on infield single to pitcher.
K Gregg relieved E Santana.
T Hafner flied out to left.
V Martinez walked, J Michaels to second.
S Choo hit a ground rule double to deep center, J Michaels scored, V Martinez to third...
So, Santana got a K, then Michaels a hit. Santana leaves the game. Schmucko gets another out, walks a guy, then Choo (bless you) gets a hit and a run scored. POOF! Santana loses the GAME??
Fucked up.

I'd be more than surprised - I'd be completely and totally shocked (  ) as the rules are quite clear on this and I doubt very much if a winning or losing pitcher has ever been "changed" after the fact - it's not a judgement call for the official scorer. There are certainly cases when the way a winning or losing pitcher is determined may seem unfair (altho I don't necessarily think that this is one of them), but they're not gonna change the way they do it to accomodate this one game, or make an exception for it.

Here's an excerpt from the MLB Official Scoring Rules :
10.19 (e) Regardless of how many innings the first pitcher has pitched, he shall be charged with the loss of the game if he is replaced when his team is behind in the score, or falls behind because of runs charged to him after he is replaced, and his team thereafter fails either to tie the score or gain the lead.
Why the hell there isn't an exception for injuries is beyond me. Unless they think people may feign injuries, which would be obsurd. :rolleyes:

Suppose Santana gave up one run on a homer to the first batter, came out because of injury, and the Angels lost 2-1, but never tied the game up?
Or 3-1 or 4-1?
Where do you draw the line as to whether or not to give the loss to a SP who leaves after one or two batters because of injury?
What MLB wants to avoid, I think - which is not necessarily a good thing - is subjectivity in awarding wins and losses.
I hate it when a SP leaves a game tied 1-1 after 8 innings, his reliever gives up a run in the top of 9th, and his team scores two in the bottom of the 9th to win the game, and the reliever gets the win.
If you want to look it up, I know there are circumstances in which the official scorer can award a win to a pitcher other than the pitcher that the "formula" would call for if that pitcher pitches ineffectively, though.
But I don't believe there are any exceptions for awarding a loss.

But I don't believe there are any exceptions for awarding a loss. Yeah, here: (4) The winning relief pitcher shall be the one who is the pitcher of record when his team assumes the lead and maintains it to the finish of the game. EXCEPTION: Do not credit a victory to a relief pitcher who is ineffective in a brief appearance, when a succeeding relief pitcher pitches effectively in helping his team maintain the lead. In such cases, credit the succeeding relief pitcher with the victory.
I think the same should hold true for Losses, in certain circumstances like this when the SP pitched only 5 pitches before getting HURT. He didn't even allow the run to score, the reliever AFTER him did. I still think the most ineffective pitcher should get the Loss in cases like this (i.e., Romero, who gave up 6 ERs while recording only 1 out, while the Angels were still in the game only one run behind)

Ahh, I only caught bits and pieces of the O&A "problem", not sure of the details, but hell - the "short bus" stopped down the street, so couldn't help it. And they were pretty good, even tho the room at the library was packed full of geriatrics... lol 1% of the crowd was under 60 I'd guess (making the acts all the more funny). And a few yelled out "jump!" Funny thing is, after we left, they all showed up at the bar/restaurant we were at, at the next table! Twitch and I exchanged head nods, and Tim Grill (who was really good) stopped to talk to us for a minute after recognizing me...

I need days where I reduce my games in hand by one, while gaining 10-20 points or so. Like yesterday.  And, as far as yesterday goes.... Capuano was 7-2, 3.15 at home and 3-6, 4.50 on the road. I saw no need to use him against Smoltz since he didn't figure to pick up the win. I was gonna use Saunders - sorry I didn't - but a rookie, first time ever in Yankee Stadium....I chickened out.  If Saunders continues to pitch well, he has six other starts coming up which are much better spots for him than last night was. Right now I have 8 starters on my roster, and after reviewing their schedules and probable starts, I have more than enough to get me to 162 without pitching them on the road against good teams in hitters parks. I have 42 starts left, I think, and I like the matchup in every one of the ones I plan to use. Of the 42 starts I need, I figure that 29 will be at home and 13 on the road, and most will be against teams with losing records - 6 vs. Tampa Bay, 4 vs. Baltimore, 4 vs. Cleveland, 3 each vs. Washington, Florida, and Kansas City, and assorted other ones and twos.... And if any of the SPs I plan to use miss a start I plan to use them in, or get bumped off their rotation or something, all of these SPs have more starts between them that, while not as attractive as the 42 I'm counting on, I can use them in other games. And none of those figures include Blanton, who I just picked up and didn't even look at his upcoming starts - I just wanted him for tomorrow (gotta like him a lot at home vs. Tampa Bay). But if I keep him, that gives me even more flexibility with the matchups. All in all, things are going a bit better than I had expected, and I like my position as far as passing JG goes.

Sheesh. :rolleyes:
I'm glad to hear that you have finally come to the realization that it's NOT about how many points you have today, but how many you have at the end of the season. I would've thought that was obvious all along. Unfortunately, you're still harboring under the illusion that these "potential points" may not come my way. Yet you still refuse to answer my question: If I trailed by 500 points and had 19 starts in hand, obviously that wouldn't be worth much and I'd fully expect to lose. But if I trailed by only 100 points with 19 starts in hand, then I believe I'd be in better position than you are, and I'd expect to win. So the question (yet again): Where do you, JG, draw the line? Where is your comfort level, lead-wise, given my 19 extra starts?

I'm never "comfortable" -- in any of these games ..but you don't trail by 100 pts, you trail (me) by 300 pts... :p
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

Yeah, right, I don't trail by 100.
But I don't trail you by 498 any more (like I did on 7/25) either....
What I'm saying here is that your comfort level should be somewhere in the middle.
You keep saying that these potential points may be worth nothing, which is true.
But the chances of my getting nothing from 19 extra starts is so small it's ridiculous.
And the chances of my getting 500 points from them are equally ridiculous.
But I think that I can reasonably expect to get the 250-300 or so that, all other things being equal, makes us virtually tied.
Look, I know they may be worth nothing. I also know they may be worth 500 points.
Neither, of course, is likely.
But I figure they're worth 250-300.
Forget "comfort level". How many points do you figure my 19 starts are worth ?

Finl "Projection Prediction" of the Season
Obviously, as we get closer to the finish, it becomes easier to make a prediction with respect to the final standings.
I mean, with a day or two to go in the season, I oughta be able to predict the exact order of finish, right?
So, with about a quarter of the season to go, and barring any more really major injuries, before any projection predictions become meaningless....
I see JL finishing first by about 200 points - maybe a little more, maybe a little less.
The race for second is between JG, DB, and myself.
I figure that no more tan 100 points will separate the three of us at the end, which really makes it too close to call.
But, since this is a "Projection Prediction", I'm gonna go with myself for second (gotta have confidence, right?), JG for third, and DB for fourth.
But, as I say, it's very close between the three of us as I see it, and that order could not only be easily reversed, but the difference in points between second, third, and fourth could wind up being miniscule - certainly a lot closer than 100 points between the three of us.
As for TM, I don't see him escaping fifth place.
He has fewer starts (25) remaining than anyone else except JG (23), who he trails by 184 points, and he's only 87 points ahead of me and I have 16 nore starts remaining thn he does.
TM trails DB by 78, but DB has 8 more starts remaining than TM does, plus a superior offense.
So, remember where you heard it first....
JL, PL, JG, DB, and TM.......in that order.

These are your SP's AVGs for the past month: 22 Main 21 Saunders 16 Wang 15 Santana 14 Haren 11 Blanton 07 Halladay -1 Capuano ----------- 13 pts/start So, assuming that continues, about +/- 247 pts. That's consistent with most of the better SPs averaging around 13 pts/start for the season. I needed to do this for you? :p PS - Louis " Twitchels " Centanni is an up-and-coming comic who happens to have tourettes. Lou knows him because he's sometimes a guest on the Opie & Anthony radio show, which I know he listens to.
