OTZ Fantasy Baseball

[Peter Parka]

Ah gottcha, sounds like the baseball equivellent of fantasy football. I'll give it a go though it will be really random seeing I couldn't even name a current baseball player!

 

[dt3]

So far I have:

Me
Evan
Maulds
Pete
Nancy
Debs

and Sparky and Alicia, are you two in?

By the way, max people is 20, so it's first come first served

 

[Doveshit]

Just for the record, I'm in dudes.*throws chips in*

Allright folks, some light reading for those who want to learn a little bit about baseball stats.

We will start with the Batting Average, on a players stats it is noted as B/A or Avg.

Step 1:
Add up your hits.

Step 2:
Add up your at bats. At bats include every time you hit safely or hit into an out, including a strike out. Getting on base by an error or fielder's choice is considered an out. A Sacrifice, walk or hit by pitch is not counted as a hit or an out.
Step 3:
Divide your hits by your at bats.
Step 4:
Round off the number to the third decimal place. For example, .33051 is .331.

For instance if you had an at bat=AB of 100

And a hits=H of 10

100/10=.100

I am going for the Astros because the Rangers are evil.

That is way too complicated.

Hey BadBoy, when do we start pickin' officially?

 

[BadBoy@TheWheel]

That is way too complicated.

How about this, if a guy is hitting .250 and above then he is an average player.

.300 and up, he's a keeper.

.300 and up, with 100+ RBI's (runs batted in) and 20+ Home Runs, you need to be washing his feet for him

(Darkcgi...That was a joke about the foot washing)

We still have a week, we have to get registered, develop the league and get y'alls teams put in place, then draft.

And here I was working up the courage to ask you how to calculate moon orbits..

 

[charLIE2291]

I dont know much about baseball, but sounds fun, count me in.

 

[Doveshit]

i'm so in, dude. Thanks Badboy.

 

[BadBoy@TheWheel]

Thank y'all, it's going to be a lot of fun.

And we will all be playing against each other, Donnie and I will admin the league, so nobody will have to worry about those pesky "outsiders" lol

*bump* I just saw this thread.... we doing this or what???


baseball starts sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!!!!

 

[BadBoy@TheWheel]

Pretty much too late now. The regular season starts in a few more days, and that's not enough time to pull together an entire fantasy league.

So chalk this one up to another thing the unexpected move screwed up:mad

 

[Jersey]

I'm in the contest to "beat the streak" on mlb.com Gotta pick someone to have a hit each day... good times!

But I already lost the first day... stupid Papi

 

[Peter Parka]

Why is this still sticky? Though I guess it's more popular than the gun thread, never really seen that as a major sport anywhere myself.
