How Should We Fix the Scheduling Issue?

[seanrmgallagher]

To me this is a very tough call. It is not fair for within-division teams to play unequal schedules. At the same point however, the past matchups already happened and roster moves may have been done differently. The mistake, I assume, was completely unintentional and I hope a clear answer comes out through a vote.

Can't see how roster moves would have been any different at all, as they are always done to maximize the point total (unless you are tanking the season on purpose).

Not true... I have guys in the minors who could help, but I haven't needed them yet, so no need to burn a year of control.

agreed.  I absolutely made moves based on my start to the season.

That's excuses. Just do the right thing and create the schedule we all should have been playing from the beginning. Anyone who says they weren't trying to score as much as possibleeach week is full of it, unless you are tanking the season like so many in this league.

Give me a break with that noise. You teo didn't maximize your squad "because you didn't need too"is bull. This is all excuses. Meanwhile we continue to play a screwed up schedule. And for what...two peple? It's rediculous.

I've been in this league for two years and there's always something like this going on here. The schedule is the schedule and it's been wrong all year.

Just fix it soon. Stop with thge excuses. Without a proper schedule thge season is a mess. That the facts. Period.

Stop looking for excuses NOT to do the right and fair thing for everyone, not just the few with these lame excuses. Have you both forgotten the tie-breakers? I'm quite sure that "total points" is one of them. Not to mention record within you own division.

There uis no way it is fair or equal to be playing in a division where one  of the 5 teams has no "division record" to speak of. I'm definitely not going to be happy if I don't make the play-offs for either of these items,  especially division record.

It obviously doesn't effect the the teams trying to lose, but I am not one of those. Do the right thing and give us all the records and the opponents we deserve and should be playing against.

It's not a tough decision. Just do the honest and fair thing for EVERYONE. Fix the schedule from the beginning of the season. That's what we all signed up for. Not this mess.

umm. . . I know I shouldn't even reply to nonsense like that, but the last time I checked, neither of the "two" in question were tanking.

[Fitzy1962]

Any solution which doesn'tinclude the schedule being corrected to the beginning of the season is not a solution. The opportunty to make this correct was igniored in favor of a league vote. That's bulogney.

The schedule should have been corrected from the beginning of the season.

Anything else is cheating. Pure and simple.

[seanrmgallagher]

Considering that the vote turned out to be a tie, and because Jeremy and I agree that the potential harm from uneven scheduling is greater than the harm from not know your opponent, the schedules will be corrected from the start of the season. Tonight, I will fix the opponents of the Pirates and Astros from the beginning of the season.

I actually voted keep as is but honestly I'm wavering and if I could vote again I would probably say change retroactively and fix schedule from beginning of season.

Personally, I don't think Chris was cheating. He doesn't gain at all. Either way he is tanking and will get the top pick, which is fine, he is playing within the rules. Makes little to no impact to him.
