*** VD 6 Commentary Thread ***

[The Feral Slasher]

I kind of didn't want to have the option, and quietly hoped that Feral would revert to his Bogarting ways and let me pick a pitcher ... but I had Mays maybe 15% better than the next available player. It's hard to turn your back on that kind of value. But I'm not delirious about it because he isn't the best fit for my team right now ... it's not like I'm lacking in hitting numbers with Lajoie, Yount, Anson and Speaker! It's a bit like overkill.

I'm reformed. No more early W, B, and M's for me.

VD6 Scoring Sheet Update

VD6 Scoring Sheet V2

Changes:

1. KO's Added to Rounds Sheet (ko1p = KO1 and the player is a pitcher; ko2h = KO2 and th player is a hitter)
2. KO's added to each teams page, and also to each teams Snapshot image
3. Snapshot page fixed to add a 14th hitter and 11th pitcher.
4. Also some formatting changes

[johnnya24]

Quick consensus needed:

The rules state that KO's will start in Round 6 and end in Round 13. That give TS Garp both first and last KO. Probably irrelevant, but in the interests of fairness, I think we should end KO's on an even round ... so please express a preference for Round 12 or Round 14.

I'll go for Round 12 (change of mind)

(I increased it to Round 13 when we added the WC's and were considering 5 KO's)

[Controller Jacobs]

Round 14 seems the safer bet, so the no one who misses the update loses a KO.

That makes sense ... since I don't care one way or the other, I'll flip flop again and hopefully we get a run on Round 14's

2 for extending KOs to Round 14.

Piazza has already been picked and is ineligible for KO.

Missed that.

I've been digging clueless drivers out of the snow all morning. This is our 4th heavy snow of the winter so far. When I was a kid it was once every 2/3 years. 1 foot overnight, and 2 more days of heavy snow forecast.

Thought I'd done my knee in again. Slipped, and feel back over myself and all my weight went back on my left knee. The ligament screeched, I screamed, but thankfully I went straight back and not at an angle. It'll probably swell up for a while, but hopefully nothing more.

I already mapped out my entire draft and think this rule change at such a late date is completely unfair.

Do you win?

This fucking idiots revving their engines like nobodies business ...

[johnnya24]

Hey, no problem.


Knuckleballs --- just KO Ed Delahanty instead. Problem solved.

Objection your honour.

Sustained.

[johnnya24]

The Clemens KO was interesting ... TSGarp has just weakened two categories he has yet to pick ... C and 1980's pitchers.

[The Feral Slasher]

I don't object to changing the rounds for KO's if everyone agrees. But I don't see a real need to make the change.

Johnny, great job with the spreadsheet (henceforth known as the "Johnny Sheet.") Can someone come up with an add-on to the ISNA Match formula on the hit_car, hit_seas, pit_car & pit_seas to include the boxes for the KOs?
