Schaefer 2011

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for all three games played in Philadelphia this past weekend will close on Wednesday morning. This will also close out the month of April, and we'll have our first Players of the Month awards for 2011.

If you still need to vote for any of the Phillies games, please try to get your submissions in today.

Schaefer POTG 4/29/11 Phillies 10, Mets 3
Schaefer POTG 4/21/11 04/30/2011 Philadelphia 2, Mets 1
Schaefer POTG 5/1/11 - Mets 2, Phillies 1 (14 Innings)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Prediction: Reyes, Young, Beato.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

HAS to be Ike.

[TransMonk]

Yeah, I was thinking Ike as well.

[metsmarathon]

so i generate three metrics in the course of my schaefer voting:

1. marathon points, which can be positive or negative and are deterministic.
2. schaefer points, which are the six highest marathon points for a given game, and are deterministic.
3. schaefer votes, which are those same schaefer points, scaled to 10 ok, really they're scaled to 9.5 with a 0.5 vote bonus to the highest vote-getter, unless the schaefer points don't total more than 19, in which case i just halve the schaefer points and nobody gets a bonus. its complicated...

ike davis has about a 10% lead in each of these categories, with reyes, wright, and beltran taking second in each metric respectively.

without winding up the 'bot, i can tell you that ike also has a 20% lead in both his voting and the baseline WPA metric.

for summary:

Ronny Paulino: Player of the One Day May.

[ashie62]

At least you vote!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Checking my sheet, I've got Davis/Beato/Beato. No starter really came close to him. Niese is 14th, Young, 15th, Dickey 18th, Capuano 26th, and Pelfrey 30th.

Schaefer POTG 5/4/11 - Giants 2, Mets 0

[Guest themetfairy]

Dillon Gee should get some extra sips of Schaefer for the May 7th game, considering that he was an emergency fill-in starter.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Thursday afternoon's win over the Giants in Queens will close on Tuesday morning. Looks like a few of the regular voters may not have voted yet. If so, please try to get your numbers in today.

Voting for Monday night's game in Denver will close on Thursday morning.

Also, a reminder that the entire Dodger series will close this afternoon. (See links in previous post.) Sunday's game is still light on votes. If you plan to submit anything, please do so this morning. I'll wait until 1 p.m. (Eastern time) but after that, the games may close at any time.

The Schaefer Mets Player of the Week for
the week ending May 7, 2011 is Carlos
Beltran with 8.06 points.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

If Niese tears an elbow ligament next start, I'm never voting for Schaefer again.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Tuesday night's loss to the Rockies at Coors Field will close on Friday morning.

Schaefer POTG 5/10/11 - Mets 4, Rockies 3

[metsmarathon]

in the game on the 9th, how did chris capuano's batting (or decided lack thereof) factor into the voting?

It didn't for me - I gave him points purely on his pitching.

[Guest themetfairy]

It's rare for me to give a player 6 points for a game. But tonight I'm giving Carlos Beltran 6 points.

He was The Man in this game!

[Gwreck]

No doubt about it, especially given that so little of the pitching was Schaefer-worthy.

[metsmarathon]

hmm. i'm kindof surprised i gave beltran so low a score. that i gave points out to 7 players instead of the regular 6 was a big hit to him, but the tie for 6th forced my hand!

i will say that, on an absolute scale, beltran's was the highest rated game i have on record this season. unfortunately for him, i vote on a relative scale.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Thursday afternoon's win in Colorado (Carlos Beltran's Big Day) will close on Tuesday morning. This game appears to be fully voted, but I'm posting this notice anyway, as required by statute.

It looks like some of the games that were played in Houston this weekend are still lacking some votes. I'll post official notice tomorrow; the games will close on Wednesday. If you have votes to cast for any of those games, please try to get them in today or tomorrow.

Schaefer POTG 5/12/11 - Mets 9, Rockies 5

[Guest Edgy DC]

I was thinking that my 5.15 would ruin perfection for Beltran, then m.e.t.b.o.t. comes through with a 3.5. That little robot has a cold metal heart.

[Gwreck]

I guess metbot is solidly on the "Blame Beltran" bandwagon. 1.81 points for Niese seems excessive, particularly if his cushion to give up those five runs was provided by almost exclusively by Beltran.

[metsmarathon]

i don't get the "pelfrey 5, nothing to nobody else" for monday night's loss to the fish.

i understand an unwillingness to hand out barley pop to the batters, given that we mustered only one run through 11 innings. but what of the pitchers, save igarashi and byrdak?

was izzy's 2/3 of an inning stranding an inherited runner not good? and o'connor's two-strikeout tenth? and, of course, what of jon niese hitting a triple there? was that all useless because jose reyes couldn't drive him in?

i ask you, if jose manages to poke a single there, driving in niese, would your schaefer tally then be pelfrey 5 reyes 5? or was the performance of our pitchers only worthy of a beer if we win the game? the outcome of the game neither defines nor negates the efforts of the players.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for all three games played against the Colt .45's this past weekend in Houston will close on Wednesday morning. If you still haven't voted for any of these games please do so today.

U said it

[TransMonk]

I hate this thread. Almost as much as I hate doling out Schaefer points in a loss.

I disagree with this statement.

Pelf did all the heavy lifting and got shafted by his offense.
