I’m kidding about holds this year. Is there a hitting cat we could lose?

What about losing avg and k/bb?

And I say this from the perspective that K/BB sucks and OPS is already measuring a talent level like avg is supposed to do. But Ops does it better.

i'd be fine with that.  also fine with just replacing k/bb with losses.

Let's add HBP and pitch clock violations

for real though - let's get rid of k/bb.  such a garbage ass category.  lets find something else.

k/9 any better?

i like k/9 better.  hell, i'd even be ok with just using walks as a stat.  my main issue with k/bb is i just don't like the two categories being tied together when they're already account for in other categories.  but if each is just it's own individual category, i like it better - in theory at least.

I like k/9 but I also love relievers. So does Derka. I say do it. Or losses.

This is how I feel about avg being used when we already have a better hitter skill category being used in Ops.

K/9 >>>>>>>>>>>K/BB

KS and WHIP for pitchers. Most direct run prevention metrics IMO.
OPS and Runs for hitters. Most direct run production metrics IMO.
You could add Saves and Steals because fantasy.

(I'm ignoring any advanced metrics that ESPN might have available)

(I'm not totally serious, but it would certainly make for an interesting and new league experience)

what would happen if we just . . . left it alone

sometimes when i want something left alone, i just kick up a fuss and throw out wild ideas that have no chance or realistic timeline to get completed, and things end up staying exactly the same.

this works for both work and home life.  highly recommend.

is the trade deadline set?  that is all i really give two shits about.

Back on track. Asb trade deadline and switching to k/9 ilo k/bb. 
 

let’s put it to a vote. 

I vote yes for both.

Yes to ASB and then Yes to HBP

Haha. Half helpful. 

i vote yes for trade deadline and switching k/bb to k/9. 

Same.

I vote yes for banning hg, derka, corn and scraps. It’s not personal exactly

trade deadline yes

k/9 yes

get your cornhole ready, boy

how do we feel about july 30th as the trade deadline?

I think that we should lock in before August 1st. Asb or July 30th does not matter to me.

If we are going to make it July 30, it should be July 31. I agree with having it a bit later than the ASG.

Whatever, science bitch

Who’s going number 1? Let’s hash this out. 

I want trea again. 

I don't really care, but do wonder whether it would be more fun to have our deadline before or after the MLB trade deadline.

Trade deadline is now July 31st. 

Switching K/BB to K/9

it is written. 

 

(Quietly removes Edwin Diaz from his second round pick list.)

I assume there aren't any open slots left in this league. Any idea where I can find an at least somewhat serious league to join? I'm not looking for a league full of guys writing code to run projections. One where everyone remembers to set their lineups would be fine.
