Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Just go full Dinger... *LEAD WITH AN IRON FIST* Yep. Spittin this is your league, you can make the call. If you give the plebes too much autonomy, the whole empire will collapse.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Wait, as the first name selected for our division, we become "captains" of sorts and we get to pick every division member? SWEEEEEETTTT That's odd?!
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Am I up in the divisional draft?
BTS Community Moderator Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Yeah. Nobody should complain about spittin breaking the steals tie with what he chooses.
Laika Community Moderator Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Gordon and Altuve both steal at about a league-average clip so this doesn't really affect them. They'll account for a similar proportion of league net steals as total steals. Castro doesn't attempt many steals these days but he'd be slightly hurt by the change. This mostly helps the guys who really pick their spots and end up with ~20 steals at a high clip, but identifying who those guys are is difficult. There really isn't much difference in player value with steals vs. net steals. Net saves similarly don't really change values but as KingKat pointed out, the fact that middle relievers can blow saves would be maddening. Biggest thing is just the annoyance factor. Losing NetSB because Russell Martin got frisky on a Sunday afternoon would make me flip tables
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Yeah. Nobody should complain about spittin breaking the steals tie with what he chooses. Going to anyway.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Going to anyway. You don't have any President's Trophies & First Round Exits in this league, better watch it kid. It ain't too late to kick you out yet.
BTS Community Moderator Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Teams are already penalized for blown saves and caught stealings, by their players not picking up saves and steals. Since player values won't really change, this is just an annoyance that everyone will deal with. If some players really did consistently steal or save at a well-above-average clip, it would be a different story. I'm pretty surprised it got 10 votes. I thought it would be like 15-5 in favour of steals.
TRM Verified Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 FYI, for those interested not following the main board. We're down to the top and bottom three in the Hottest Jays Rankings.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I'm pretty surprised it got 10 votes. I thought it be like 15-5 in favour of steals. People like novel things. DICE and wRC seemed like good ideas until we realized they're pretty much just annoying AF.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Biggest thing is just the annoyance factor. Losing NetSB because Russell Martin got frisky on a Sunday afternoon would make me flip tables Or a botched hit and run.. I'm dumn. But even i know NetSB is stupid.
BTS Community Moderator Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 People like novel things. DICE and wRC seemed like good ideas until we realized they're pretty much just annoying AF. Both of those things suck so much.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Those were great ideas! Not caring about earned runs is refreshing. Nah. You're wrong.
spittin Verified Member Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 No. The guy Burlingtonbandit chooses should pick next. Sorry my bad, I meant to say that division gets the next two selections.
spittin Verified Member Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 To keep tracking games simple we will just go with SB, would be annoying to look through boxscores to see your guy have a SB only to find out later in yahoo he was also caught stealing at some point. I will post the rules on the web and share the link shortly for reference.

spittin Verified Member Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 Thanks, unfortunately it takes up to 72 hours for the domain to go live but bjmbleagues.com will be the address for BORED. The BORED page will be displayed on the main site until it is expanded by adding pages for the other leagues. If anyone has interest making pages for any of the other leagues let me know.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Just finished reading this thread after my mini holiday and everything looks great. I'm excited for this league.

Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Geez... I'm not even in this league. Maybe I was dumn. I'm a baseball addict.
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I'll go with TCA I guess. Sorry for the delay but Xmas is pretty busy for me!
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 TCA's two sheets to the wind right now, lol.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I'll go with TCA I guess. Sorry for the delay but Xmas is pretty busy for me! PM him that he's on the clock.
