AT least 1 site has this as being game scheduled. Yeah, I know there was 1 game that was never made up but neither of these teams will make the playoffs, so why? To my knowledge this has never happened before. This could impact some roto races and probably will.

Since you mentioned it I’m curious how many leagues include game 163? Every league I’m in cuts off after 162 but I know some others do not.Comment

My AL league does notOriginally posted by Ken View Post
Pony league does
I prefer not using the extra gameComment

I think most leagues, like mine, include the entire regular season - which includes today.Originally posted by Ken View Post
check that, head-to-head leagues with playoffs I think cut off the entire last week or two.
overall, if I owned a guy like Yelich for instance, I would find it weird not to get his entire 2018 regular-season stat package.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I am in 3rd in my NL only league (tied but have the tiebreaker), two points out of 2nd. My roster includes:
Yelich
Schoop
Blackmon
Kemp
Tayler
Grandal
Bote
On the pitching side:
Hill
Wood
Ryu
Hamels
Cishek
Cishek and Wood could get into the game. It's not a do or die for any team so the starters won't pitch.
The closest categories are runs and HR; I'm 7 behind someone in runs and 2 behind another in HR. Certainly an outside change of helping. Of course a 2-20 could push me to 4th as average is very close. The team in 2nd has Machado and Schwarber. Could be interesting.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

you are usually the voice of reason so I am surprised to hear your leagues do not include game 163. mlb counts the stats towards the regular season, why shouldn't fantasy leagues as well?Originally posted by Ken View PostComment

My fun leagues - which use ESPN - do not.
My serious leagues do count them. In one of those, the money positions are locked in. In the other, all I need is Steve Cishek to strikeout five and get the win to move up into the money.I'm just here for the baseball.Comment

Yahoo ROTO leagues cut off at 162.
I suspect it's to have a set end of season date.

Oh. In that case, never mind.

it's also because Yahoo doesn't work for its customers - you have to bow to their rules. no thanks!Originally posted by onejayhawk View Postfinished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

For me it's about equal footing for all teams. Arbitrarily getting an extra game just because your player is on a team that happened to tie doesn't make any sense at all, at least to me. If you use game 163 why wouldn't you arbitrarily use the wild card round of the playoffs too? It's equally random.Originally posted by Art Vandelay View Post
All the leagues I've participated in have been regular season 162 game leagues.Comment

it isn't arbitrary at all. game 163 is officially a regular season game as recognized by mlb...and the stats count.Originally posted by Ken View PostComment

That's not the part that is arbitrary though, it's the idea of having "fantasy" teams accumulate stats just because they randomly have a player who is on a team that is tied.Originally posted by Art Vandelay View Post
Tell you what, lets do a HR derby just among friends. Everyone gets 10 swings to try to hit as many as they can. If anyone is tied they get another round of 10, seem fair?
So you hit 4, I hit 2, and our friend Joe hits 2.
In the tiebreaker between Joe and I, Joe hits 3 and I hit 4.
So our totals are me, 6, Joe 5, and you 4.
You are last place, right? Seems fair?Comment
