2018 Game Thread Starters

[Liam Neeson]

Actually you know what, game back on. I'm going to need that start back.

 

If Andy falters

The whole "my thread has a direct effect on the outcome of the game" thing is fun to screw around with, but if you are using it to dictate who hosts a thread, then I start to wonder about your sanity. I guess the whole thing is silly anyhow, so whatever.

Liam Neeson, it's all come down to you.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

no pressure, but we’ll kill you if you horsefeathers it up

[Banedon]

Are we maintaining the same game thread rotation for the playoffs, or will we be changing it up?

[Sammy Sofa]

How was it done before? Starting over? New list? Just keep it going?

 

More importantly, how was it done in 2016?

if you need an emergency game thread starter, count me in.

In the past I believe it was based on regular season record.

I have no idea how we came about that order. Definitely not based on regular season records.

looks like that was the post that kept getting updated, so Logan started the playoffs with an absolute Cy Young caliber regular season

[Sammy Sofa]

Alright, then we'll just keep rolling with the order we have.

[soccer10k]

It was based on regular season wins and if two posters had the same number of wins then it was fewer losses.

[Sammy Sofa]

Wait, then why did Butters and tree lead it off?

they didn't.

 

the post was edited later, so the current/upcoming starters were at the top and the guys who started the playoffs were at the bottom, which I bolded.

[Sammy Sofa]

Ahhhh, gotcha. Now I get it.

 

OK, regular season record it is. Will update after today's game.

[Banedon]

Well done on managing the game threads this season, Sammy.

[Sammy Sofa]

Thanks. Wish we could have ridden a few more streaks. Those records are pretty ugly!

W-L for game thread starters is stupid. You may have a nice "record" but the underlying peripherals showed you were doing it with nothing smoke and mirrors.

also we make this dumb stat so important but when you really look at why should the game thread starter get all the credit for the win? sure that poster started the thread, but it is the players who do all the catching and throwing hitting and such. perhaps some of the credit should go to them.

[Derwood]

We should use the game thread starters' QBR next season

[Ding Dong Johnson]

gol darn you derwood

[CyHawk_Cub]

I just hope all the gamethread starters re-dedicate themselves this off-season and show up to spring training in the best shape of their lives.
