Need help understanding pitching scoring

[rcankosy]

Why 2/3?  Hasn't a simple majority been the standard in the past?

[Mr.TradeKing]

That is what I was thinking....

I went with 2/3 because that's what Jake proposed, but I personally agree with it.  Any changes to the scoring system should be considered major changes, and if there really is a significant push from the league to make such a change then most of the league should support it.

[Mr.TradeKing]

But hasn't everything that required a poll been a major change?

Besides pitcher scoring, another thing that might be good to look at is GIDP. Is that even a repeatable skill?

I assume you mean for hitters?  I'm not sure if it is or not - I would expect the perception that really fast guys are much tougher to double up is indeed true, but it may be pure luck for the rest of them.

No, no. It was his defense that deserves all the points. 

Seriously, this is just another a example. Yes, I know he had 7 BB's, but c'mon the man pitched a no hitter and only got 15 points. If this doesn't do it, then I do not know what will.

Bringing this back up again because it was a point of contention. How could a guy throw a no hitter and have such a poor score. Well he almost did it again last night, and failed, but scored 111 points. I argue the system is fine, leave it alone. We all know what it is, we have all for the most part been here long enough. This is like joining an OBP league and then complaining because Michael Young has less value than you are used to. Adapt and move on. We all know groundballers and strike out guys will score higher in this league, so if that is case don't pay a lot of money for a guy who averages 5/k's per 9, and gives up a ton of fly balls. It is using the information that is in front of you. We have 3 years of info, now. We change the scoring categories, you know what we have next year, bupkis... we all learn a new system again  . And then I am sure people will say how it isn't fair, or it is skewed. No scoring system is perfect, and we have played with this one since the beginning of 2010 - some of us longer than that. If you don't know how it works, then you haven't been paying attention.

We can't leave it the way it is for 1 simple reason.  The league voted over-whelmingly in favor of change.  I respect the concept of continuity, but I also believe that certain things can and should be changed for the better, and this is one of them.  The RC has nearly completed a very trying process of clarifying and revising rules affecting extensions for the same purpose of making an already great league even better.

Very well said.
