I know Bobs Burger doesnt roll with Pesky ... as he told me he likes Chicken .. when he joined the squad long ago ... Thats right !!!! I have had an inside man all along ... I bought your pesky awhile back thought it was funny when it was yours

Ha, yeh looks like he had a good year that year on the Burgers too. Dunno why I moved him, at that time I might have put 91 Ramirez in his place at 2nd. The season after moving Pesky was the initial year of this league where I was promptly destroyed and nearly relagated. Should've kept him!

Always glad to help out a friend

I have to admit that I just could not catch up. Anytime I got a win streak going, the teams ahead of me won as well.

I am going to miss all your teams next week if we all start roaming again or change the format.

Not over yet, the Burgers finished August 1-9; can easily do it again in Sept. Chazzycat can sneak in here at the end too.

Dunzie · 03-16-2019, 06:56 PM

Well... I would like to bury my head in the sand and pretend real hard that this particular season NEVER happened. Was a disaster from the get go.

However with that said I raise a toast to all of you fine folks, and particularly to Orcin who put this cockeyed scheme together and made one heck of an enjoyable way to play PT.

Good luck to those still in the fight this week and hope to see many of you around the Perfect Leagues in future both here and PT2.0.

CHEERS!!!

Hi y'all, how about a standings update going down the stretch for fans of your league who aren't actually in it.

2002halos · 03-16-2019, 07:42 PM

Had a chance to read through most of this thread between games today.

Found the talk about the "magic" going on very interesting.

No one brought up some things I've long suspected.

For example, based on home-road splits, I think it's highly likely that players get a home bonus, separate and apart from the way that managers tailor parks to their own team.

Other situational things are probably also in effect. For example, probably the whole league hits better with men on base, and walks are probably way down when the bases are loaded. It wouldn't be a very accurate baseball simulation if stuff like this wasn't accounted for, and it doesn't need to be a hidden rating for each player, just some secret sauce that affects them all.

Factors like this can help explain the high variability we see too. If the guy in front of you in the batting order has a streak of bad luck, then you don't get the bonus from having a man on base, so you look worse too.

Zorro's comments make me wonder if there could be a hidden batter rating vs individual pitches. I doubt it, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.

And there's long been speculation about a seasonal random event for each player as to whether they will have a good year or a bad one. Again, I doubt it, but questions like this, do, indeed, keep things interesting.

Standings update

joehart · 03-16-2019, 09:33 PM

I wish there was a stat for how often I changed positions with Blue Rocks.

I initially said a dozen times but at this time, I would not be surprised if we changed the top spot more than 20-30 times. Almost every other game, we swap positions.

Adding the wildcard race to the standing update.

joehart · 03-16-2019, 09:36 PM

Beachgoers and Whalebacks have an interesting battle.
Whoever ends up #2 in the division will not make the playoffs.

I have a feeling the playoffs won't be decided until late tonight and we may see another game 163.

Nyflamingos · 03-16-2019, 11:14 PM

AC wildcard starting to get spicy!!!! with 5 to go .. 3 teams looking to get that last spot... Bobs Burgers seems to have the inside track given the schedule ... but at this point i think you can throw all that out ...

3 teams have a shot at the AC central Still

pappyzan · 03-17-2019, 12:28 AM

Base Thieves, Green and Burgers have all won 7 of their last 10. 3 games to go, Burgers are 2 up on both teams for now. Base Thieves have like a hundred guys hot.

Chargers' magic number is 1 in the NC for the final WC spot there.

blitzblazin · 03-17-2019, 12:47 AM

Man, sad this is the last season for this league. I finally got pretty much all the players i wanted/ trained up. Good Season everyone.

I'm keeping my friends list intact, so I hope to compete with many of you in future leagues.

blitzblazin · 03-17-2019, 01:33 AM

alright cool ill do the same

Nyflamingos · 03-17-2019, 02:01 AM

Apple Dumplings, the team that snuck in ... just found out the hard way ... the competition of the league.... 7 perfect playoff births in a row .. to getting demoted

Nyflamingos · 03-17-2019, 02:21 AM

The stage is set .. and like it was scripted ... Bridgeport had a 5 game set with Santa Monica to end the season taking 3 of 5 and beating them in the final standings by 1 game! Making the playoffs in their first go around

In a repeat appearance from last seasons playoffs Bobs Burgers against Zorro in the wild card game ... Can Bobs Burgers rewrite the story ....

Warriors take the 1 seed in back to back seasons ... hoping to make a deep run in the playoffs

and another playoff birth for me ... Angry Dragons ... hoping I can finally win one here

On the otherside ... Magpies take the 1 seed and are back in the playoffs after missing last season for the first time

Breakers are in ... showing last seasons run wasnt a fluke. They Will face off against the Blue Rocks who have made it in 3 straight times ... and won it all 2 seasons ago

Chargers make it into the playoff for the first time but will have to face playoff veterans The Base Stealers who went from auto playoff birth .. to almost demoted last season to back to the October games

Good luck to everyone in the playoffs.. and for everyone else ... it was a pleasure battling you guys all season

Zorro · 03-17-2019, 07:27 AM

Congratulations to the Angry Dragons on winning our Division . They were the better team all year and there was nothing I could do to catch them. Man Am I hurting. I drank way to much at that party yesterday and can barely see to write today. Lol.

Yes, I agree with you about a separate home field advantage no matter how we set the parks up. What I meant about the pitches were meant for the pitchers not the hitters. Joe Hart and I talked about this and then I noticed how a batter would hit the hell out of a pitch by the pitcher that was rated low. Here is just a example of what I meant, Say Pedro had a bad pitch a curveball that was rated 15 , In the game someone might hit that curveball out of the park. I would start looking at the pitchers card after the pbp would say that fastball was crushed or that slider was crushed ete. I noticed that the pitcher would have a low number for that pitch. It might have been a coincidence but I would notice this happened quite a Bit. Only Markus would be able to tell us if that is true but I would think those numbers mean something?

Zorro · 03-17-2019, 07:49 AM

What a mistake I made yesterday. We went to a party in the city and I partied wayyyyy to hard. I want to repeat as Champion so badly that I decided to skip a St Paddy days party today that my friend has every year .What I should have skipped was yesterday. Lol. This is absolutely terrible. I think I need a hour shower to try and clear this head.

Predictions:
Best of 5 division Series:
Zorro over Warriors - Sorry #1 seeds don't cut it in this game.
Dragons over Whalebacks - Could be a sweep
Base Stealers over Magpies - I like the Magpies, but same reason as Zorro over Warriors
Blue Rocks over Breakers - should be close
League Championship
Dragons over Zorro in 7. - This will be close and go either way
Base Stealers over Blue Rocks - Tight series, but when in doubt, this game likes Wildcards.
World Series
Base Stealers over Dragons - Dragons heavily favored, but Wildcards win out.
