so on pitching we go with K/BB instead of K. I'm good.

Hitting-we like OBP and SLG and are you good with the rest or have changes?

No, I was trying to keep it simpler and similar to previous seasons with upping SP value a bit. Here’s mine…

OBP
SLG
HR
RBI
SB
R

ERA
WHIP
Win
Save
Hold
K/BB

I believe the very simple fix to the K problem would be to go from K/9 to K/BB. Shifts the category for the most part from relievers to starters.

I definitely like going from BA and OPS to OBP and SLG. Other than that, I think it starts to get a little too redundant and complicated. And to your earlier point, possibly less entertaining.

Headlines You Don't See Every Day (outside of Florida)

What the heck you guys doing down there in SW OH?

Two thoughts:

Video needs yakkety sax (Benny Hill chase music).

Ohio is lucky that Florida and Oklahoma exist to draw attention from the amount of idiocy that occurs in Ohio.

Ok here is my take on categories:

Offense
1. OBP
2. Slug %
3. HR
4. Extra base hits (rewards the doubles hitters)
5. NET stolen bases (rewards smart base running, not volume bullshit)
6. Runs (one raw counting stat that isn't power)

The optimal lineup is balanced, slightly skewed for power but that is the modern game.

Pitching
1. Quality Starts (wins are crazy bullshit stats, they are like Holds for me-nonsense)
2. Saves + Holds (not each separately)
3. ERA
4. WHIP
5. k/9 (prevents the low leverage middle reliever from dominating via K%)
6. K's (rewards volume K's from starters but the rest of the rules punish you for streaming or dominating with a bunch of middle relievers)

With the 18 IP minimum this really changes the pitching dynamic from the last few years imo. A true K heavy starting ace is now the most valuable piece on the board (pitching wise).

I don't offer this up lightly, it's the exact opposite of what I have wanted to see because it was easy for me to compete with a bunch of bullpen scrubs and focus on hitters (not that it helped my pack of sissies any)

Thoughts?

That's funny because I got a reservation for this weekend. My son and I went to the Ohio State - Texas game and we got there SUPER early. (I never know how early to leave or predict the traffic.) The stadium scoreboard had an ad for this. So I got home and looked into it, and made this our Christmas gift to a bunch of the family.
I'm hoping it's as awesome as I want it to be.

Nice Jody Shelly article:

All jokes aside, at the end of the day, Shelley wouldn’t trade his career for anything. He’s been a Columbus institution since he arrived 25 years ago, and he’s found his home as a Blue Jacket.

“I love being in Columbus,” Shelley said. “I love it. This is a guy who’s lived everywhere, all over Canada plus San Jose, New York and Philadelphia. I love Columbus. I love what it’s about. I love the organization. I love everything about it. It’s been very good to me.”

I think there needs to be a balance of slow pace and fast pace. The offense can't live in a fast paced no huddle offense, as they could put more pressure on the defense if they can't constantly convert first downs and TDs. Some of the analysts were talking about this already

Of course. I'm not suggesting the extreme opposite. But let's try to not bleed the clock with 7-14 point leads anymore

What book are you currently reading, or recommend?

ScriptOhio
Coming Back Stronger by Drew Brees; Chris Fabry; Mark Brunell, Hardcover | Pangobooks


So-so book, too much emphasis on his religion and not enough on football. He did indicate why he ended up in New Orleans in lieu of Miami. In the end New Orleans was the only team that offered him a contract for QB1 money. Every other team that had made an offer, it was for QB2 money. Originally Miami had offered QB1 money too; however, they pulled that offer in favor of one with QB2 money "at the last minute".
