I don’t understand separating out the OPS (on-base + slugging) into two separate categories. Why is this preferred to the current average and OPS? I like combining a traditional old-school stat like batting average, where there is a little luck and chance involved, with the OPS stat that rewards disciplined hitters with extra base hit capabilities. IMO, the current hitting categories are ideal.

I do understand updating some of the pitching categories. My preferred pitching categories are the following:
W - traditional old-school category where there is a little luck and chance involved
QS - rewards good starting pitchers that can make it deeper into games
Saves + holds - Combine the two categories to de-emphasize relievers
ERA
WHIP
K/9 - rewards quality pitchers in general either SP or relievers. I get where K/BB also does that too so don’t have strong feelings either way here.

Browns came in at 30.

Combine results are unreal. And he is definitely not a player who just tests well. The young man delivered on the field for OSU season after season.

They aren't firing Diebler after this year regardless of how it ends. Id be very shocked. Only situation I could maybe see that happening is if he clearly loses the team

That's what I'm saying. It looks like he's lost the team and 3 more losses would reaffirm.

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

works for me

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?

sooo what the fuck does Door Dash have to do with the Bloomberg terminal and AI?

heisman said:

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.

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