All Purpose Schaefer Discussion Thread

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

None of it contributed to any runs for the Mets. I had to give all my offensive points to Beltran, because without him the game's a scoreless tie.

Generally I prefer to give more points to fewer people when I can.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Can I give points to Pedro Martinez for apparently calling pitches against Preston Wilson?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

If I was doing the tallying, I'd say no.

But I've ceded authority for the duration of this postseason.

[seawolf17]

Can I give points to Pujols for getting doubled off? That made me laugh.

Ah, like Yankees fans with A-Rod. None of it counts because it was garbage time.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Yup.

If you reward everyone who contributes, there's less point in doing it on a game-by-game basis.

I give Schaefer to those who had the biggest impact on the game, not to those who accumulated statistics.

[Willets Point]

I disagree. Two extra base hits and a walk are an excellent contribution to the offense. It's not his fault he wasn't brought home.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Didn't impact the game, though.

Anyway, that's why I like to see as many voters as possible. We each have our own way of voting, and that's what makes the end result a consensus.


Lots of votes for NLCS Game 1. I hope it carries over to April when tallying resumes.

YAYYYYY.
Best news I've heard all day.

I disagree. Hits that don't score runs are silent contributors in stretching pitchers by making them not only throw more pitches, but throw more crisis pitches.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

So are foul balls, to a lesser extent. I just don't think it necesssarily is point-worthy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Far less so, unless somebody hits like dozens of them, which totally elevates a performance to point-worthiness.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Again, we all have our different definitions of what's worth points. That's what makes horseshoes, or something like that.

Ill also admit I let up at seasons end, for a number of reasons, the primary one being lack of Met games available to watch.
I got to a point where if I couldnt see the game I didnt feel it was fair to score.
(I used to print out the box scores and go over em for like 10 minutes divyin up the points on games I read online, most of the season-I take this serious)
Probly silly of me- sorry bout that Yance- figured plenty would carry it.
Did that many people stop scoring?
Like Centerfield says, shame on us.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

In the beginning of the season there were usually about 20 or more voters per game. By September it was down to 7.

So yes, a lot of people bailed.

[Willets Point]

I was thinking I don't recall voting in PotG threads for game #2 & #3 and I went looking for the threads but can't find them.

[Zvon]

I really wanted to hand the pen crew more pointage tonight---but-

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

This postseason Schaefer voting is even more pointless if we only create threads for the games that the Mets win.

Agreed. It has to be an all or nothing proposition.

[metsmarathon]

i'm shocked there's none for the losing games. really i am. i'd've noticed it sooned if i'd had my handy dandy updated spreadsheet on me this weekend.

somebody start up a thread or two. i would, but i've got numbers to input...

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Is anybody planning on tallying these games, by the way?

[Guest cooby]

Please don't pin them, pleaaase

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Cooby doesn't like stickies.

I'm not planning on pinning them.

[MFS62]

Thank you for starting them,Scarlet.

I took away part of a point from LoDuca for the 9-6 game. In the first inning and Reyes on second, why did he bunt on the first pitch? Why not try to hit to right instead? A grounder to the right side would have moved Reyes to third (as did the bunt) but could also have resulted in a base hit.
My opinion. My vote.

Elster, then Rogers volunteered, but neither have done so.

[Zvon]

If anyone feels the need to ask why I gave Heilman a point in the final game of this metificent season, can it.
Its not open for discussion.

[metsmarathon]

i am a geek.



the flow of marathon voting during the game. note how perez actually earned more than 6 points by my system, but was unable to legally receive the extra 0.3 points. were it a win, i'd've reassigned those 0.3 since its a loss, i'm not so much motivated to do so.

i should open my system up to peer review during the offseason. wouldnt that be super-cool!
