Of course, as soon as I get Felix he sucks.
-
I'd like to say that I knew Felix would get bombed in his next start, but wow. What an inexplicably bs performance.

wasn't expecting to win Werth so cheap - need some salary relief. Extra cap space included in a deal will make me more likely to accept something right now...

It is perhaps the single most basic function that we pay for. It should be a non-issue.

Saying that consistently incorrect standings are a "small problem" for a fantasy provider is like saying consistently incorrect temperatures are a small problem for a thermostat.

Still don't think it's a huge deal. We can cut Niv a break. The league is legit, we're having a blast (at least I am), it's $10 (not $1000), he's a small business owner who has multiple products (PickSix), and 95% of the league is functional. Small issue.
-
Ok. So the two arguments for this being a big issue are 1) We pay for better customer service and 2) Discrepancies in scoring is not consistent and *could* just be screwing me and not everyone else. Do my sarcasm presumptions sum it up?

Trout & Harper in perspective: http://pulse.me/s/9hzOx

Points seem to have held steady today.

Right, it's not that I had 4130 when the standings read 4122 -- it's the fact that the standings being flat-out wrong for huge portions of every day erodes my confidence that they are *ever* correct.

I'm waiting on some of these point changes to help me, my team sucks.
-
We simply can't be sure that points were applied properly over a given time period without doing extensive amounts of work counting stats per day, taking lineup into consideration, potential stat corrections (2B changed to 1B + E?), etc.
-
Taking Bill's point a little further, if things are changing without some kind of notice detailing exactly what happened and what was done to fix, it does (and/or should) erode our confidence in the entire system.
-
No points changes so far..
-
Really looking for MI help. Send me some offers.
-
Wil Myers to AAA
-
a problem
-
that being said, I also agree with whomever was saying that in a pay league, Niv needs to be a little more customer sensitive - this is a tiny detail that in essence doesn't really matter, but if those details are ruining the 99% that he gets right that's
-
I kind of thought about things along the lines of MoPain, but given that I've been targeted for dead last all season, I thought perhaps I was missing the edge of your seat-ness of the standings
-
Yeah...I get we should have that ability because we pay. But isn't it a little ridiculous to be so locked into the standings when we less than a quarter of the way done? Does whether you are in 6th place or 1st place affect you set your daily lineup?
-
Accuracy of standings is a detail you get right in a pay league.

It's really not a very early product, for one thing. The fluctuations aren't by like 100s of points, but with the standings as tight as they are, I feel like I'm paying enough to know whether I'm in 2nd or 6th place at any given minute.

Just out of curiosity...why does everyone care so much about this issue? It is a collective end-of-season competition in a very early product that still has bugs in it. It comes with the territory. Just as long as the points work out not sure I understand

At 9:00 a.m. I've got 4130. Mark it down.

of everybody I traded this offseason to make a run for it this year, giving up Trout was the hardest. He'll be worth his $20+ salary this season, and I think he'll be worth twice that by next.

Thanks Nate. First game is 6:35. Let's see how many times my points change before games begin
-
I'm going to track point changes approximately every 30 minutes today. Will chart & circulate
-
So we're probably stuck with the delayed debuts for the season.
-
Niv: "Yeah, gonna make it more like the roster organizer, if that makes sense. Need some time on that but..."
-
Have to give a lot of credit to Shoeless - on paper I just don't see it, but he's managing effectively and making it happen. Ratios look good and he's even under the IP cap. Nice work.
-
and I just responded: Changing lineup eligibility? (i.e. anyone can be in your lineup, but stats don't get points unless accumulated in ML)
-
Niv responded: It's not ideal, it's just what our data provider gives us. I have a potential change in mind that might help this.
-
I asked: What is the reasoning behind players not eligible for lineups until they've played a game in the majors? Even when on ML roster?
-
No doubt Harper will be great with prolific power, but if that same power keeps developing for Trout, he could be the most exciting (if not the best) player in the game a few years from now. Does it all.
-
announcers said 3 infield hits for Pujols...
-
Two of Pujols' three hits are infield singles...slump not over yet....
-
3 for 3 for Pujols. Nice trade, Lucky!
-
I still like him, but I don't have roster space to be patient with an A ball player right now.

Pujols gets traded. Promptly starts game 2 for 2.
-
Yes! Jesse Biddle is available!
-
We are surely not the only league querying Niv about this. I tweeted him about it a couple hours ago.

I swear I think my points changed again without it coming from my lineup. Thought I had 3919 an hour ago; now at 3933....
-
Then only position eligibility (which depends on games actually played) is relevant for lineups.
-
Totally agree with that point - all players should be eligible for your lineup. Makes no sense they aren't.
-
I agree

Let him have it on Twitter
-
Frankly I think ANY player should be eligible to be in your lineup, regardless of where they are in the system. Then if they don't accumulate MLB stats, then they simply don't accumulate points.
-
I agree. Niv has said the player becomes eligible "when lineups post" but I checked every 10 minutes before Harper's debut & no dice.
