Edgy MD Site Manager Posted September 13, 2022 Posted September 13, 2022 Did Ruf's pitching mopup work actually go into his Bench Player of the Month totals?
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted September 13, 2022 Author Posted September 13, 2022 A 1969 deGrom! A 1980 deGrom! (One guesses Jake exhausted the Seventies models pre-scapula.) A 1967 Diaz/Trumpet in the best tradition of METS MAULERS! Comfort zones have been exploded or at least expanded. Yes, the only 1970s year for which there hasn't yet been a deGrom card was 1977. Sometimes I reuse existing cards, but the ones with the long hair seem kind of dated now so I'm less likely to reuse them, so yes, I expanded the parameters a bit.The Diaz/Trumpet card is the second time I've dipped into 1967, but the first time for Schaefer. The other time was when David Wright tied Ed Kranepool for all-time leader in base hits.http://www.leaptoad.com/mets/cards/MetsHitKings.jpg>As you can see, there have been a lot of deGrom cards!http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1969.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1970.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1971.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/2018ERALeaders.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1972.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1972boyhood.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/2020_NL_Strikeout_Leaders.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1973.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1974.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1975.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1976.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1978.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1979.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1979RecordBreaker.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/JacobdeGrom1980.jpg>

Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted September 14, 2022 Author Posted September 14, 2022 No, no decision was made. It's the way the Schaefer software works. Other than creating the baseball cards and the end-of-month posts, everything it totally automated. To close out a game I click a button and the code does all the tallying. Bench points are given to any position player who earns points in a game in which he's not in the starting lineup. Reliever points are given to anyone, pitcher or not, who pitches in the game after the starter has exited.I see a gap here... If Jacob deGrom were to pinch-hit a game-winning three-run homer, he wouldn't get bench points, although he should. But that's so unlikely and I'm not going to invest the time to fix it for a project that only about a half-dozen people participate in. If Schaefer took any real effort I wouldn't be doing it.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 It's just interesting in that players now have to be pre-declared either hitters or pitchers even if they do something else. MLB is acting like software. You're either a zero or a one.I guess I need to root against the Mets acquiring Shohei Ohtani, because he'd blow up the Schaefer engine.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted September 14, 2022 Author Posted September 14, 2022 I suppose I would have to classify him as a position player in the UMDB. It would allow him to earn points in both categories. But yeah, he would complicate things.

Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted September 14, 2022 Author Posted September 14, 2022 It's really not much effort, but thanks for the appreciation!

G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 First-timers all! Love the Joely win and the Joely '72.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 Gore also wins largely on the strength of one game.The DH certainly takes away a chunk of opportunity for a player to shine off the bench, but with a platoon at DH, a platoon in right after Marte went down, and pinch-hitting-for-the-catcher opportunities, it's disappointing that somebody couldn't step up off the bench more than once a month.The DH is for saps, anyway you slice it.
