I don't have a dog in the fight, but out of curiosity, I re-ran the numbers based on Fitzy's corrected schedule.... 14 teams had a shift in record, 7 gained a game, 7 lost a game. Surprisingly, the Reds have to give back their win over the Astros and accept a loss at the hands of the Pirates. All in all, the NL Central had four teams lose a game in the standings. The best division in the league comes back down to earth a little bit. Must've been padding that record beating up on the Astros.
And since chris chimed inwith his usual acidic tones, let's keep it perfectly real; this is not an error by current league management, this "name-swap deal" was performed while the previous commissioner to you (yahoolando) was running the league and you took over for him after that. So you are the one who is responsible for the current league schedule and surely, you knew this would happen with the schedule.So who's protecting what here, Chris?
No...actually we should not be playing each other again. We sine we essentially only have 4 teams in our division instead of five, as the Pirates are playing the schedule of the Astros and vice/versa, which is why he doesn't want to error fixed going all the way back to the beginning of the season. Doubt he'd be undefeated in our division, the toughest in the league.
Pretty good for tanking your season in Houston though; can't imagine why anyone would want to tank either, but that's you.
Almost the entire first-half of the season has been tainted now. The Pirates have beengiven a huge advantage in our division by being allowed to keep their record from a division where people are obviously tanking the season. This is balogne. The opportuntiy was there to correct it but that option was discarded for a league vote. The schedule is the schedule and any variation from it is a disaster. Plain and simple.This is a HUGE mistake. And not at all the right thing to do.
Agreed. I thought the vote went the other way. Change the schedule to what it should have been and those are the standings that we should have in the league, no?
