All Purpose Schaefer Discussion Thread

[metsmarathon]

so i decided to relook at my voting in this mets MVP thing, comparing my "metsmarathon patented overlycomplicated schaeffer player of the game voting system" totals to a completely seat-of-the-pants subjective voting.

score	schaeffer voting	off the top of my head
10	Beltran	Beltran
9	Reyes	Reyes
8	Wright	Wright
7	Delgado	Delgado
6	Glavine	Glavine
5	Martinez	Valentin
4	Trachsel	Wagner
3	OHernandez	OHernandez
2	Valentin	Martinez
1	Oliver	Sanchez

i'm not sure which of these i like better for going forward... i don't think that trachsel was more valuable than el duque... but maybe he was... quality versus quantity, and all that. off the top of my head, i think i valued quality moreso than quantity, while my spreadsheet seems to go the other way...

for now, lets just pretend the spreadsheet is right.

ALL Schaefer voting for 2006 will close on Wednesday morning.

We'll have the September player of the month announcement as well as the Player of the Year announcement tomorrow.

For those of you who haven't been peeking at the totals, the final result may be surprising.

And then the playoff potg's begin!

Nope. At least, not for Schaefer. (Actually, we can Schaefer vote, but I'm not going to do any tallying.)

[Willets Point]

How do we know who the Mets NLDS/NLCS/World Series MVP is then?

[Willets Point]

I can't believe we're not doing PotG for the most important games of the year!!! What is the logic behind this???

From September 19, in this thread:

Yancy Street Gang wrote: I've decided that I'm going to shut down the Schaefer stuff at the end of the regular season. In order to do postseason tallying, and keep it separate from the regular season stuff, I'd have to make some code changes and I don't see enough interest in Schaefer for me to invest the time. However, the day-to-day regular season tallying is simple for me, so I'll probably revive the practice for Opening Day 2007 unless I get the feeling that nobody cares. So, there won't be a Schaefer Mets Player of the Month for October. And no voting for any postseason games. (Well, you can vote, I guess, but the votes won't be tallied. At least not by me.)

[Elster88]

I volunteer.

[Gwreck]

Thanks! (Going to vote for Game 1)

[Valadius]

I vote that Schaefer tallying for the postseason should be simply an extension of the regular season. Basically we'd have a regular season Schaefer MVP, a postseason Schaefer MVP, and an overall Schaefer MVP.

[Zvon]

I would have thought doing it for the post season would actually be a bit easier than it was for the whole season - but if it takes a software change I can understand your reluctance Yancy.

Yanc, I hope you dont think that your SMPOTG isnt both enjoyed and appreciated.
Its actually one of the reasons this is the best board for a Met fan to hang his Met hat at.

That was the original plan, and I would have stuck with it if everyone hadn't stopped voting months ago.

What am I? Chopped liver?

I've never met you, but I expect that you're not chopped liver.

Actually I should have singled you out for thanks, Scarlett. You probably started more of the Schaefer POTG threads than anyone else.

I should have said, "if everyone but the seven loyal hardcore voters hadn't stopped voting months ago."

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

OK

And no problem on starting the threads

[stevejrogers]

First two NLDS game voting end midnight EST Friday

[stevejrogers]

Schaeffer voting for the NLDS wraps up Sunday night/Monday morning at 12AM 10/9

Hopefully I'll have the Schaeffer Mets NLDS MVP sometime Monday night-ish

1994 55-58 3rd NL East

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I thought Elster was doing the tallying?

[Willets Point]

I though Elster was in charge of closing voting and tallying?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

So did I!

[Willets Point]

As did I!

[stevejrogers]

Okay, sorry...Elster I didn't see that post here when I went and did the first thread Tuesday night.

1995 69-75 2nd NL East

[Zvon]

cripes-----why the disention?

U guys want to see a verbal bruHaHa?

Mr Rogers resurrected the thing for the NLDS.
Lets all cooperate like we would with yance ---
Im not knocking Elsters involvment but lets work together here.
And Im not like just here to back Mr Rogers when he needs it--Id do the same for anyone being treated unfairly.
Just seems ol Steve-O gets the shaft more than he deserves.
I know what its like to be just an excitable boy--Im Zvon, dammit!

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Actually, I can save a lot of time and use my magic spreadsheet to total the votes for each individual game. (But without the pretty formatting I ususally use.)

You guys will be on your own for summing up the totals for the series. (That's where I would have had to do new coding to avoid the post-season totals getting mixed up with the regular season games.)

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Well, Elster seems to have abdicated, so I guess the coast is clear for Steve to tally the Schaefer games if he's interested in doing it.

Shame on us for just playing out the string. I'll admit it. There were quite a few times in September where I was just flat.

[Willets Point]

Yancy, is there that big a difference in tallying up for playoff series than for a month of the season? I mean can't you just treat the series like a month or is it more complicated than that?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Yes. The totals would get mingled in with the regular season games. My plan was to revise the program to separate the totals by Regular Season, NLDS, NLCS, and World Series but I abandoned that plan a few pages earlier in this thread.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

In doling out the suds for last night's game, don't forget Endy Chavez's amazing catch.

[Willets Point]

2 doubles + walk = no love for Delgado?
