Schaefer business

[Benjamin Grimm]

The April Player of the Month results met with a resounding thud of disapproval, but we'll continue nonetheless.

Tomorrow is, once again, Wacky Wednesday, and all three games from the weekend series in Phoenix will be closed and tallied tomorrow morning. If you plan to vote but haven't yet, please try to do so today.


Schaefer POTG 5/2/08 - Mets 7, Diamondbacks 2
Schaefer POTG 05/03/08 D'backs 10, Mets 4
Schaefer POTG 5/4/08 - Mets 5, Diamondbacks 2

re: 5/5-5/6 voting -- I don't see where Figueroa gets Schaefer Tuesday and Perez not on Monday. Here are the lines:

Figueroa 5 8 5 5 4 3
Perez 6 6 5 5 2 3

The only major difference between the outings is that Figueroa blew a lead whereas Perez never had one to protect. Check your biases!

[Benjamin Grimm]

I gave a point to Perez for going 6 innings. (My policy is to always give something to a pitcher who goes 6.)

I'm giving nothing to Figueroa. My line in the sand is six innings. Nothing for 5 bad innings, a sip for 6.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

You're the exception. I'd like to hear from those who can argue Figgy is deserving where Perez was not.

[Guest AG/DC]

Churchie is coming up short this morning. He may have fallen down on the job, but he got six of the Mets' 15 total bases.

[Guest themetfairy]

I gave Figgy half a point. Not for his pitching, but for getting on base during the big (but not big enough) inning.

And Mr. Wright should be getting some more love for his glovework last night, IMO.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I meant to give this notice this morning, but didn't. So, in the interest of 24-hour notice, I'll wait until afternoon to close the voting, instead of the usual morning deadline.

Voting for Monday night's series-opening loss in Los Angeles will close some time after 1 p.m. on Thursday afternoon.

[Guest KC]

This was a lost series for me, and I hate voting from boxes alone.

Glad the boys are coming east.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It was a lost series for the team too.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Tuesday night's 5-4 loss in Los Angeles will close on Friday morning.

[soupcan]

I only vote if I'm able to see/hear most of the game in question. I was out of town during the last home series' against the Braves and Bucs. Didn't get to see much of those so I abstained.

That's really my only hard and fast rule.

While I was away though, I did personally witness a Brandon Webb - Jake Peavey 2-1 pitchers duel that was quite entertaining.

Too bad I couldn't vote on that one.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Wednesday afternoon's 12-1 win over the Dodgers will close some time over the weekend.

Now that both games have been tallied, Perez has earned 0.41 points for his start, while Figueroa earned 0.20 for his.

So Perez ended up outscoring Figueroa, which seems correct to me.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Because of the consecutive off-days, we're actually in a rare situation where all games have been tallied. (Except, of course, for the one that's currently underway.)

Here are the current month-to-date and year-to-date Schaefer standings. A compelling three-way battle for the number one slot:

Metfairy, you voted for Heilman in Sunday's game, but he didn't play.

Can you please edit? Thanks!

[Guest themetfairy]

Done - I caught that after I saw your Schaefer points.

At a glance, I thought it was Heilman rather than Schoenweis in the 7th. I've since given the sip to the right reliever.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Schaefer participation is at record lows. I'm beginning to think that I may not bother doing this in 2009, but we'll see how the rest of the season goes.


Anyway, all three games from the weekend series against the Reds at Shea will close tomorrow morning.

Saturday afternoon
Saturday night
Sunday afternoon

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

My fault. Had a bizzy weekend and fell way behind

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Monday's loss to the Nationals at Shea will close on Thursday afternoon.

Only six voters so far, so if you've yet to vote, please do so.

Grump, grump, grump. I haven't had time to even watch a game in two weeks much less vote on one.

I'm just saying...

I don't mind doing the Schaefer stuff because, as I've said, it's not a whole lot of work. But if I'm only doing it for five people, then maybe even the little effort it takes is too much.

[Willets Point]

I'm just jealous really.

[metirish]

I can't post here at the board from my home PC , getting an " invalid session please resubmit " error for the past week and we can't seem to figure out why , admin are working on it though.

With marriage and the baby I am not seeing as many games as before either , that's not a complaint although it's something for Edgy to think about with his upcoming nuptials.

I think this is the point where I again say that I think the voting threads are closed too quickly.

You did it again, Fairy!

You gave a half point to Sanchez for Wednesday's game, and he didn't pitch:

[Guest themetfairy]

Sorry about that. I thought I saw Duaner warming up, and I didn't realize it wasn't him in the 9th.

[seawolf17]

I haven't actually watched a game in two weeks.

I hope you keep it going ..... I'd have the feature at F.U. if it wouldn't be such a shameless ripoff. But it would.

I come for the vote; I hope you can keep it up. Good job.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Thank you, *62! I'll definitely keep it going through the end of 2008. We'll see how I feel about it next spring.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Tuesday night's win over the Nationals at Shea will close some time on Friday afternoon.

Seven voters so far. If your name isn't themetfairy, *62, John Cougar Lunchbucket, Gwreck, Frayed Knot, Benjamin Grimm, or Fman99 then you haven't voted yet.
