Altuve/Polanco

Looking to move the pair in an effort to shed all committed salary post-2024. Polanco, $9.5M, is off the books after the season. Altuve needs to be signed for 2 year minimum and is slotted at $13M. Altuve proved after coming back from a fractured thumb that he can put up MVP-like numbers, so he shou...

Re: MLB Playoffs

If the data backed that up, the managers would leave the pitchers in longer. If the game were played in DMB, I would agree, but this is real life we're talking about. The data is based on the past. Real life takes place in real time. As they say on the stock market, past performance is not indicati...

Re: MLB Playoffs

So was it the correct decision because it worked out just fine or the wrong decision because Kelly got mad? Any decision with a positive result was correct in retrospect. If he'd left Kelly in and he pitched a complete game, allowing just one run, that would have been correct as well. The point is ...

Re: 2024 New Rules?

If someone wants to use a player for 300% in Chapter 1, which would be pretty hard to do, then the penalty is $17.5M ((300-125)*100k). So, the penalties would still be in place? I missed that part. If that's the case, then why bother with this? We're still assessing penalties each chapter for overu...

Re: 2024 New Rules?

If we could figure out a way to place the burden of usage management earlier in the season, say end of Chapter 4, then as long as all usage is under the pace of the season, 67%, then the player is exempt from mid-chapter suspension, but still adheres to the usage caps. To avoid abuse in Ch.5 and Ch...

Re: MLB Playoffs

If a pitcher is throwing a great game, and you remove him, your odds of winning decrease. Not sure if that is accurate. If the data backed that up, the managers would leave the pitchers in longer. Even if a pitcher has overperformed the statistics through the first and second time through the order...

Re: 2024 New Rules?

Probably that their real-life injuries already are baked in to their playing time and that PT is limited by our usage rules. So if Corey Seager missed 40-some games with random injuries, he’s already gonna miss a ton of BDBL games. He doesn’t need random injuries added to ledger that might make him...

Re: MLB Playoffs

If the D'backs win tomorrow, it will be a World Series of 2 teams that wouldn't have even made the playoffs 2 years ago. 2 years in a row where too many of the best teams during the season will not be playing for a championship.

Not sure this is what MLB had in mind when they expanded the playoffs.

Re: Cleveland begins Furie-ous final week

If our tired, beaten down guys can squeak out just one more win, we can avoid the 100-loss season. It's only a small consolation as injuries and slowed development will handcuff most progress for next season. We'll have to hang on to see what the offseason provides in opportunities. I’m glad to see...

Re: Infidels / Mustangs trade

Your last comment implied that this trade and the ensuing conversation played a part in this league being unfriendly. Earlier comments in the thread talked about changing this rule or that to try to minimize such perceived trades. I'm partly commenting on things that I have not yet done so in a thre...
