week 1

[Quakers]

Just my luck that the Dealers face an opponent who starts Felix Hernandez twice due to this ridiculous schedule...

 

:roll:

 

Always looking for an excuse. Just face the facts, your team is not that good :wink:

Exactly, which is why I need all the help I can get.

so the teams that had illegal rosters for the first japan games originally had the points they earned in those games taken away. now it looks like those points were given back. what's up?

probably that i unchecked the option for teams not getting points for having an illegal roster. this doesn't seem to be a good idea because then people can't bench starting pitchers to avoid going over their start limit.

 

i don't know if there's a way to manually remove points for those games, but there's no way i'm going through the transaction list and 16 rosters to figure out whose teams were legal for those two games.

[abuck1220]

well, that certainly doesn't seem like a good system.

 

tootielicious and rodelo were both illegal for game 1 and got points.

[abuck1220]

so is there a commissioner of this league or what?

[Tracer Bullet]

Yeah, I don't think enforcement of the rules should depend on how busy Tim is and truffle's availability or willingness to step in. Is there not a more simple solution?

I will have to explain my move this morning because people start to complain about cheating and not following the rules.

 

Andrew Bailey is on IR. I picked up Brett Myers but because Brett Myers is not considered a RP I can't even though he is I can't put him in the RP slot. My team is illegal so I put in Felix Doubront in as a RP temporarily since he is coded as a RP but is really a SP. I will make sure he is taken out of RP once he starts for Boston. By then I will not know if Brett Myers will get a start or even he will even be considered a RP by then so I will have to take out Felix Doubront as RP before his start so this will make me illegal.

[Tracer Bullet]

you had like 7 guys on your bench that first day, right?

There is.

No actually I had 8...but at the time of the first game I checked my roster and it was legal not realizing of the expanded roster. I still contend that the extra bench did not impact the scoring because Ackley was going to start 2B all along. Even if I had dropped the extra players no one would have been able to pick them up anyway because of the 2 day waiver rules.

 

It does not matter...take the points away...my last post was merely to explain the moves. We had a similar process last year so there are no confusion about moves made. I also don't want anyone saying that I can't get points because my roster is illegal which yesterday it was.

I agree. This had no baring on the first two games. I don't think any team should be penalized for those Japan games.

[Tracer Bullet]

Ok. I'm just saying when my roster is illegal I'm using the same reasoning.

[karenmac]

just a heads-up that my roster's currently illegal. Had to sit a couple of SP in order to only have 4 starts the first week. Also picked up Fernando Rodney as a RP while Drew Storen's on the shelf.

[Guest]

Unfortunately (well, fortunately for my business), it looks like I'm going to be getting more busy instead of less busy. I stepped in on an emergency basis last year - can someone else do the same? I still consider this to be Juan's league, really. If he's got the time, he's the right person, imo. If not, he should probably be the person to decide who to put in that place.

 

Sorry, guys.

I think we need to clarify that this isn't illegal. We have enough confusion in this league without calling legal rosters illegal just bc you have some starting player spots empty.

I know I have done this in the past for you Tim but can't do it this time around. I'm still running that other league 4 years later plus I'm in this league and one other. My work load is also increasing. Sorry.

Yes, thank you. *I* know it's legal and what has to happen in order to stay at the number of starts required, but in case someone sees on the league that I'm coming up illegal, that's why. The tools on CBS are great, until they aren't! Darn Brandon McCarthy - 2 starts in the first week a good thing, but had to forsake others to get those in :)

[Guest]

I'll look into it tonight. I kind of feel like this isn't really that big a deal although I understand the need to simplify and be consistent on rules. If those that are disgruntled have the time, send me an email with your list of inconsistencies and confusion and we can address it.

I think we need to do what we did last year. Owners with potential roster issues need to make comments in the weekly thread so the opponent and others are aware of the issues. I think it worked out well last year.

If no one else can, I can step up as commissioner. Only problem is I can't access the web site for 9 hours of the day while I'm at work.

Thanks for volunteering..can you add RP to Brett Myers so I can add him as a RP?
