Schaefer 2014: YEAR TEN!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

re: 5/12:

How does Farnsworth get points for the save and Duda nothing?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for all three games played against the Phillies this past weekend will close on Thursday morning, some time after 10 a.m. The May 10 game has received fewer votes than usual; if you intend to vote and haven't yet done so, please try to post your vote today.

Schaefer POTG 5/10/14 - Phillies 5. Mets 4

SCHAEFER METS PLAYER OF THE WEEK, 2014
Week ending April 5: Juan Lagares, 5.68 points.
Week ending April 12: Eric Young, 4.89 points.
Week ending April 19: David Wright, 5.25 points.
Week ending April 26: Lucas Duda, 5.22 points.
Week ending May 3: Chris Young, 5.50 points.
Week ending May 10: David Wright, 5.58375 points. (Just 0.00042 ahead of Dillon Gee's 5.58333 points.)

[Benjamin Grimm]

I had to dip into the database tables to break that tie between Dillon Gee and David Wright, and while doing so I noticed that some games in 2006 had as many as 35 voters participating! Given our typical vote count this year, that was kind of discouraging, but then I ran some numbers...

Average number of Schaefer voters per game, by year.

[list:wzgul28t]
2006 13.1914
2007 12.5988
2008 10.8025
2009 10.3086
2010 9.1420
2011 10.3704
2012 8.0617
2013 7.9074
2014 9.1351[/list:u:wzgul28t]

We're only down by fewer than two voters since 2008, so it's really not all that much of a drop. But it does seem like the pool of non-voters has dropped dramatically. Maybe as an experiment we can have a game where we ask EVERYONE to vote, just to see how high the number can get.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I would guess that Shaefer voting correlates with posting elsewhere on the forum, and this joint is a ghost town.

Voting for Wednesday night's loss to the Yankees at Citi Field will close on Tuesday morning, some time after 10 a.m.

I wonder if, during the Citi Field era, voting declines as the season nears end. Maybe if you take out the second half of the season, those historical numbers (post 2008) are even higher --- which would mask the fact that voting might be down.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I can speak for voting less in second halves lately. Its a reflection of the dispersement of posters to actual lives or perhaps better and more cooler fora.

You made me curious, so I ran the numbers. They represent the average number of voters per game, by month.

	2006	2007	2008	2009	2010	2011	2012	2013	2014
April	21.29	14.50	13.40	16.67	12.57	12.30	11.57	11.36	9.56
May	15.61	15.96	10.93	13.04	10.10	11.89	9.61	8.78	7.77
June	13.15	11.30	9.43	11.89	10.27	11.04	8.82	8.04
July	11.72	11.07	11.04	8.35	9.58	10.33	7.08	8.04
August	10.25	12.29	10.76	6.83	7.43	9.00	6.39	6.34
September	8.52	10.64	8.84	6.89	5.81	7.71	5.74	5.36

We're off to our worst start ever. I'm glad I don't put a whole lot of effort into this, but I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth the little bit of effort that it does take.

Maybe I shouldn't have looked at these numbers!

[Guest d'Kong76]

I just cut and pasted a bunch of votes for games and
then when I was looking at it ... I messed up some stuff.

I was busy last week and weekend. My weekend ended
today actually. Please keep remaining open games for
another day.
