Are the points messed up for 3rd place? W2 shows a bunch of pitching points for Thursday, but says -4 pts for yesterday. Imagine the suspended game is messing things up.

I think CGP wrapped things up last night, the battle for 2nd place and 4th place though look tight.
4 days left…

$20 bid for Pepiot, wow. I guess if you consider a rental with upside, there's no real harm. I feel like I should win something for starting that auction though!

Kershaw last night, Strider tonight, Muñoz both nights, and 4 HRs given up for a grand total of -28.47 points in 8⅔ (kind of fortunate there) wasted innings. Between season ending injuries and the long ball, my pitching staff isn't too far from being on life support.
-
It’s going down to the wire. Good luck everyone.
-
I'll be battling to the end but I'm definitely on the outside. Amos has been beaten with the injury stick pretty badly of late as well. Just wish the Padres we're in the race so I could count on Tatis and Soto having something to play for...

Yes, will be fun to see if Amos Otis Driftwood can pull off the repeat.
Altuve & Teoscar Hernandez on absolute tears. Can they both keep it up? Ohtani a big question mark! Definitely jealous of Cornucopia's pairing of Acuna & Seager...

Looks like it should be a fun last month, a clear top 2…but with some injuries and some hot and cold stretches, could be a 3-way race.

Ohtani ($54)- 2022: 6.23 P/G and 6.23 P/IP; 2023: 8.78 P/G and 5.08 P/IP- is officially on my block. There are a ton of variables to think about here. Regardless...

$7 was a bit much, but who knows. I'm allergic to White Sox is the only reason I stayed out.

I thought I might sneak Colson in, but no such luck. $7 seems like a lot, will see if it pays off.

Speaking of Colson, Kiley McDaniel has him as the #2 prospect behind Holliday and ahead of Chourio on a new article on ESPN (paid)

I agree - but glad you didn’t. (Sadly I think Bryant might be done as a consistent point producer.)

Let’s hope!! The history of the anointed “best drafted pitching prospect” of all-time isn’t a great one, particularly on the injury front (B. MacDonald, Mark Prior, Strasburg, etc).

If you need to clear some salary for super-prospect hunting I can take on a few dollars (about $10 or so). 4.5 ppi SP or 5+ PPG bats desired.

welp one of you contenders are gonna wish you had Corbin Burnes. He's starting off the 2nd half with 10 K's and counting against the Reds thru 4 innings ... if he comes back to form and there is no reason he shouldn't, he can be throwing up 50+ points every 5-6 days. I'm telling you he's the cog that puts you in the money. :)
-
Since a "money" spot seems unlikely for me this season (DAMN), I will retool for the future. So if you have interest in my better players, let me know. I prefer younger talented players, at 1B, OF, and SP.....even high prospects. A few guys might not be available (barring a ridiculous offer), but most are.......

I of course mean Hader — thank you autocorrect :)
-
Also willing to trade Haden who has a 10.4 p/IP for the year.
-
Corbin Burnes available now. He’s had a rough start but still probably the one guy who can carry a team if he gets hot / and the track record to back it up. He has a 1 hitter today btw.

Harsh, but funny

With that perfect game, German now averaging 1.09 Points per inning over his last 3 starts for me

If anyone wants to dabble in an Ottoneu basketball league, a spot just opened up in my league. Walden is in it too.
It’ll show up on the claim team page on Monday so let me know before that and I’ll add you.
$20 league fee to Ottoneu due in August or September I think. We just play for fun otherwise, no prize money.

General rule of thumb for pitchers that’s been studied ad nauseam is they can control strikeouts, walks and keeping the ball in the park to some degree, the rest they share responsibility with the quality of defense behind them.
And things like stranding runners on base and BABIP and knowing how to win fluctuate wildly and are as much luck as skill so they don’t count those in this format.

The point system is sabermetrically inclined of course and tracks well with FIP for pitchers.
This is an older article but explains it better than I would.

One of the three true outcomes
-
While we're airing grievances, anyone else feel the negatives points for HRs that pitchers give up is too high? Never understood the extra punishment for HRs. Like why is it so much worse for a pitcher to give up a solo HR than if he gives up a double and then 2 ground outs? Both pitchers allowed an extra base hit & 1 run. why not just have negative points for ERA?
-
In terms of the IL, I've been reasonably lucky. Even so, BB/9 and HR/9 increases have rendered some of my guys nearby unplayable.
-
Baztones is definitely onto something regarding travel ball. I was a "self-taught" pitcher in the late 80's/early 90's, constantly experimenting with arm angle and motion (overhand, side arm, and submarine), in tandem with the highest velocity that my 14 year-old self could generate. It didn't end well, as I successfully shredded my right labrum to bits before I graduated from high school.
