Why is there a game between Pittsburgh and Miami scheduled for tomorrow?

Originally posted by Art Vandelay View PostI don't think your analogy is a good one. if c.yelich won the triple crown because he had a big day yesterday, would the press, mlb or its players say "nah, you had an extra game, it doesn't count"? Of course not. and how many players have 162 games played this year? the 'play in' game is luck of the draw, just like a trade from miami to colorado or an unexpected injury. if mlb counts the stats, fantasy baseball should count the stats too.

Originally posted by Ken View PostIt's fine to disagree, but what was wrong with the analogy? Your description about what the press would do is not relevant to our discussion, they don't care about our fantasy teams. The press however does write about the postseason. Shouldn't we include those stats? If not, why not?
and fantasy pools are for regular season stats. game 163 is considered regular season.
And of course it is fine to disagree, you'll seldom get 100% agreement on any topic.

Originally posted by Art Vandelay View Postyour analogy is poor because mlb is not playing another 162 games for only two teams.
So dismissing the analogy simply for a magnitude issue seems odd.

In the notrades league you are referring to above, I went back and re-ran the standings including game 163. Several individual categories changed slightly but the overall standings orders did not change. I posted the specific category changes to the league message board for reference should anyone have questions and I have the detailed breakdown of before/after in each category. Thank you for making me think of this a different way. I think either way has some validity, and I'm glad that they result in the exact same overall standings order in our leagues so we don't have to decide retroactively, which would not be fair.
Going forward I'll be including this in our constitution so there is no ambiguity.
Again thanks for the points you made here.

well, you definitely need to have the rule be clear for all owners.
and if I am understanding your philosophy, why allow stats for Game 162 - given that those with Marlins and Pirates players didn't get one? they only played 161.
