Kevin1429030929 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 One suggestion about minimum innings pitched per week ,Rocky: if I read correctly ,you have them currently set at 7. That seems very low and not even a variable for players to have to consider in the game since one starting pitcher alone could often complete 7 himself. We've used 19 innings before , and even that seemed rather low and never a problem for players to reach . With so many pitching positions to fill , why not raise it a bit ? Enough so that people need to keep it in mind and try to play regularly, but low enough that it isn't a burden , and everyone can reach it almost every week with an average rotation of SPs ( for those weeks where people are busy or off on a holiday, in an earthquake , etc. ) and relievers. Maybe just my thought though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin1429030929 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Started up 'Songfact's VII 2011 Points' league ,too,if any are still interested in playing that as well . We'll see how many sign up by Sunday 12 midnight US EST before going ahead with it though . Not much point with less than 6 players ,I think . Draft will be shortly after that if we have enough interest . Remember , you can use your draft pick order from head-to-head in this league as well, or make a new one , or leave it to fate as I usually do .

RockyRaccoon Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I will be setting the status to ready sometime tomorrow evening. Probably around midnight EST or so. At that point, the draft will happen 72 hours from then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 We are set to ready. The draft will happen within 72 hours. I hope most is not all are ready. If not and if something goes wrong, I am permitted to reset the draft up to three separate times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin1429030929 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Rocky; you should be able to make any changes by going to your team or the league page and then click 'commish tools' on the upper right side of the page. That should take you to a menu where you can adjust whatever you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Yea I was checking those and I couldn't find anything that would let me change minimum innings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin1429030929 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 No? Hmmm . Not by clicking either Edit League Settings or Edit Stat categories ? It's gotta be there somewhere . If it's not in Commish tools , maybe try anything pertaining to settings and take a look. It may even have a name you weren't looking for , so take a look at each pitching stat related item that may possibly be it . Unfortunately, it's not a factor in the points league so I can't help you more specifically as it doesn't appear anywhere in those tools or settings .

RockyRaccoon Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yea, I'll keep looking for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin1429030929 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Well , we have only 3 signed up for the points league so far , so I guess we'll suspend going forward with a draft for the time being . If we get some interest in the next couple days then we can proceed but, if not ,we'll just play the one league this season. Since the points league is likely the most simple of all the leagues ,I don't think a last second draft would bother anyone if the situation permits .

Lucky Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 The draft has happened in head to head. My team looks kinda weird. I think it was on Friday when you mentioned the points league Kevin, I kind of think no one has seen this yet ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyRaccoon Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 How does RonJon always end up with the good pitching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yeah, but the rest of my team can barely hit the ball out of the infield. My pitching may be strong enough to carry me until I can settle on some decent position players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanAm Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm definitely interested, Kevin. However, I need the league ID#. I believe you said the password was Carl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Check out Kevin's outfield. Braun, Gonzalez and Kemp. Yeesh!!! I quite like my pitching (even though it pales in comparison to RonJon's). I'm not wild about my middle infield, however. Utley is going to start the season on the disabled list. He may be out until the All Star break. And Gordon Beckham and Howie Kendrick don't exactly strike fear into the hearts of opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
