somebody had to be last, and it probably should have been the team that finished the worst from last year
I'll ask again.
What will the errors be set to?
How many games will this season be for each team?
Playoff format?
Who is keeping stats?
How will the games be televised?
Rotating starting pitchers right?
Tell us more about how you plan to run the league.

Well, I picked next to last ... last year. Like I pointed out, the first 4 picks are at a huge advantage in a 10-team season. I looked over all the seasons, and those who picked 1-4 heavily represented in the playoffs and finals. TBG won back-to-back titles in seasons II and III, and both of those seasons he had the first pick. Turd picked second in season VI, and he was a rookie. Dawson carried him to the finals and the Legion of Doom (Beef and TBG), picked second that year and won it all. Last year, Tempo picked first and Dawson's 22 HR's carried him for the championship. The next batter with the most homeruns hit 14 homeruns. Out of all the seasons, the top 4 picks are heavily represented in the playoffs and the few exceptions came from me, Nacho/MikeD, and Ultimate ... and that's because people like RePeat, Attez, and TBT made dumb mistakes in the draft and then some trades helped my team and Nacho/Mike D's team in season V - that season I picked next to last and Nacho/Mike D picked last. To succeed in the bottom of the draft, you need to not make mistakes, rely on other people's draft mistakes, and get lucky in a trade.
So that's 2 drafts where I picked next to last, and one draft where I picked last. In season IV when Fighton ran it, I came in early in the season and took over for Ryno since he disappeared from the forum for a long time. I pulled off a series of trades and got to the finals.
i'm excited for the spring training tournament
Next season will somebody please use the ARCADE version for the fantasy league. At least the talent is more spread out and those picking in the top 4 won't have the same gigantic advantage since there is no dropoff after the Dawson's, Canseco's, Bell's, and McGwire's. I think in the arcade version the drop off begins after about 12-14 players. The NES version is lame unless you have the top 4 picks or don't always end up picking last. Tempo probably meant well, but you see how me getting picked last by default in every other music, tv show, or music draft affected his subconscious! I get it though, people get nervous of Empire domination if I'm given a top 4 draft choice. I still managed a good draft last year until the dumb trades I made ruined the Empire! I sent Nacho to the playoffs! Okay, as we can see, Darky is bitter!

If I stop being bitter, I may run it. Zero motivation for me though since I have a shit team. Nobody put a gun to my head to draft OSmith as my #3 pick, but I was like fuck it with this stupid last draft pick again. >:( :(

I'm excited to hear darky use the draft order as an excuse all year for why his team sucks. Although no draft order explains using a third round pick on ozzie smith.

Loved that Sally Cunts team. We lucked into Strawberry and Davis and had a team built around speed, which was a lot of fun. Epic battles against our rivals, the Empire.
It's getting to the point where we have enough draft data to come up with average draft position and a complete list of stats from all seasons, though I'm guessing that Darky is the only one with stats from every season and he's not going to give it up.

I have to say, I don't care for the consistent implications that I jimmied the draft order somehow. First of all, I've never been someone with I'll will towards you, and secondly, I myself got the ninth pick. So there's zero reason whatsoever to think that I'm trying to screw anyone over.

Most of these questions were not asked before, but I will answer them now:
Errors will be set to 8
Each team will play each other team twice
Playoffs - we will do two divisions. The second and third place teams in each division will face each other in a best of seven to play the first place team of that division. The winners of each division mini-tournament will play in the finals against each other.
Games will be uploaded to YouTube once they are done. If there is a way to broadcast them live as well, let me know and I will try and figure it out...but I don't know how to do that as of now, if it's possible,
Yes, SPs will be rotated.
Divisions (randomly created) and schedules will be posted later on this week. If I am going to go random for the divisions, what is a way to show what I am doing live besides for going on Facebook? There's obviously some concern from SOMEONE here that not all is on the up and up, so if people want to witness it and there's an easy way to go about doing so, I'm fine with that.
Strassy, please have a Notary Public present for all games to make Darky happy. Thanks.
he should just give his team to someone else at this point
we're all going to lose if he keeps this up

Lots of scoring to happen this year with the errors set to 8! No worries about the division setup -doesn't matter. Draft selection would have been splendid live, but that's history now. As far as the games, just do your thing. Just think about attaching the ROM file before the season starts so we can see that the players ratings are in order. Last year, Fighton manually inserted the players and their ratings in the ROM, then he got the ratings wrong with a couple of pitchers in the first week and that caused a bit of a stir. It's much easier to just switch players around until all the teams are set in the rom.
When I ran the league, I announced the forum time of my games. I think started recording at the announced team, opened up the ROM file, put the ROM in the emulator, and then zoomed in on the forum clock so everybody could see that I wasn't using the hand of god (the videos are still up on my channel btw). The rom files from my games were also available and attached so anybody could check what time that ROM ran for the game so that it matched the forum time, as well as check all the player ratings for integrity. So I did everything in my power to verify the authenticity and integrity of all my games since 2-3 owners kept suspecting about the hand of god involved. I'm not suggesting you do this since you don't have to because everybody likes you and thus trusts you.

That was an epic series between maybe two of the best teams ever in a 10-team league. I forgot exactly what happened with the Ripken trade, but it ended up being a 3-way trade where you guys got rid of Ozzie and somehow ended up with Ripken. Ozzie came to me eventually, but not directly from you guys. I ended up platooning him with Barret, but Barret ultimately won the job. I ended up with Gibson in some package deal where Dykstra was shipped off. Here were the lineups:

It's getting to the point where we have enough draft data to come up with average draft position and a complete list of stats from all seasons, though I'm guessing that Darky is the only one with stats from every season and he's not going to give it up.
All drafts can be searched via a search here. I only have seasons V, VI, VII, and this year's on file. I did give you stats from seasons II, III, IV, and half of VI, I believe. Check your FB history messages with me.
The pitching stats are a bit tricky. When Fighton ran seasons II, III, and IV, he didn't rotate his starting pitchers. So a team's starter started the game all year and the number 2 SP always pitched in relief. Then he allowed Attez to start is RP's and have his SP's come in relief. And I think in season II, there were only 8 teams. So although I have the historical pitching stats for every pitcher combined in all the seasons, those stats aren't direct. I haven't updated the historical pitching stats, but before last season, somebody like M.Scott was 15th all-time in ERA and N.Ryan was dead last. Last season, those two were brilliant. And Gooden had a career 12.4 ERA before last season, then his ERA was 18.something last season. Going into last season, Robnsn was 3rd all-time in career ERA for RP's, but then with the Empire last year, his ERA was over 20. something. Dayley was first all-time in career ERA for RPs and he was also on my bullpen last season, but he also had an ERA over 20. Just goes to show you that there are very few sure things in the league except for a few players.
I haven't ever created a career hitting list. I could if I wanted since I have all the stats, but that's too big of a project for my taste.
I said errors at 8 (and eighties at 8) because I thought that's what fighton had them at last year. I don't want them to dominate the landscape. Would 5 be better?
8 is fine. Stop listening to Darky.
I think fewer errors are better.
Also, stop listening to Nacho.
MORE ERRORS FOR EVERYONE
can't possibly have more bops than i did with minnesota this weekend
Quote from: Nacho on 07/24/18, 07:55:37 AM

5 or 6 would be perfecto! Last year, 8 errors was just too high with each team making up to 4 errors a game. These guys are professionals!
I watched all the games, and the majority of those errors were throwing errors that are unrelated to the error settings. Most games only had one or two BOPs.
Quote from: Gantry on 07/24/18, 07:59:46 AM
MORE ERRORS FOR EVERYONE
I agree with this even though I think my team is really good and errors will only add to the randomness and make them more vulnerable.
Like everything else in your life, you have an inflated sense of self-worth.... Ergo your team isn't that good.
Stras, if they are going to accuse you of cheating, you might as well cheat!!!

I'll take your word for it
Trade winds have reached hurricane levels......
Are we allowing trades or not? In principle, I voted no. But if we are allowing them, ryno and I have come to terms on a real blockbuster...
I'm sure Ryno got hosed.
I did some calculations on each team's starting lineups.
Let's start with power. GDavis has the highest average power score, with three batters over 900, and nobody in the lineup under 810. Beefy is not far behind, with a lot of teams clumped together thereafter. nomaa, stu, and ryno are the three teams with low power numbers.
gdavis 863.625
beef 860.625
fighton 856.125
shooty 853.875
nacho 853.5
strass 853.125
darky 840.75
nomaaa 833.625
stu 832.875
ryno 830.25
What stu and nomaaa lack in power, they gain in contact. Stu has a lineup where nobody has more than a 16 contact number. Strass has the worst contact rating, followed closely by me.
stu 12.25
nomaaa 15
darky 19.25
fighton 20.125
shooty 22.875
ryno 23.125
beef 23.5
gdavis 24.375
nacho 24.875
strass 25
nomaaa has the highest average speed by a good sized margin. I was surprised to find that I was in 2nd. While GDavis has the most total power, he has the slowest team, with Darky right behind him despite having Ozzie Smith in the lineup.
nomaaa 132
nacho 130
shooty 129.25
ryno 129.25
strass 129.25
fighton 128.75
stu 127.5
beef 127.25

I'm sure Ryno got hosed.
I actually think he got a good deal, enough so that I kinda regret the trade already.
If my trade with ryno goes through, I basically (on average) gain two contact points, lose six power points, and gain a quarter of a point on speed.
Good analysis. Looks like I have a balanced team (4th in power, 5th in contact, 3rd in speed).
This draft I gave more credence to speed as the CPU makes bad running decisions. You need some fast guys to avoid bad baserunning outs.
I feel good about how my lineup stacks up given that I feel confident that I have the best pitching staff.
Whoever has the most 830+ power lefties in their lineup will win. #FuckRighties
I have one lefty in my lineup (with no power).
You have officially been put on ignore until the end of the season.
I knew going in that I had the best set of bench bats, but I didn't realize how much better until I saw the full rosters - there are only two bench players on the other nine teams (Knight and Pendleton) that wouldn't be the worst player on my bench.
My pitching may be somewhat suspect, although I didn't end up with any of the low-stamina relievers and managed one of the high-stamina starters.
Nacho, contact by itself doesn't mean much. It's relationship to power is what makes contact significant.
Batting Power - (Contact * x)
where x is 0 to 6 depending on where contact occurs.
So take a 900 power hitter with 10 contact. If you make the worst contact the multiplier is 6, and the new power number is 900-(10*6) or 840. So if you play with the contact number and multiple it with all the points of contact from 0-6 and then subtract that with the power number, you'll see how the player's power varies from those points of contact between 0-6.

Good point, but those calculations were beyond what I wanted to do.

thanks nach, this is tight
crossing my fingers over here that 830 is the magic #
I saw that Shooty mentioned speed and I wish I had a bigger sample size for my FRBI metrics. I've mentioned before about "X" outs. Those are the outs where a player's lack of speed creates outs on the basepaths. That is, put outs from 1st to 3rd, 3rd to home on fly balls, getting hosed at 2B/3B on a double/triple attempt, and getting hosed down in a fielder's choice situation. Players between 118-124 generally make the most outs in these situations. They also won't stretch a single to a double and double to a triple since they are too slow to advance. They also won't be scoring from 1B to home on a gapper or a ball down the line. Players in the 136+ range will do that.
I will say that for the slower players from 118-124, they are too slow to advance from 1st to 3rd on a drilled ball against the LF wall. So they stay at second and generally won't advance from third base in some double situations if they are on second base. They are a liability on the basepaths and do create a lot of outs. I wish I had a special stat measuring where their slowness subtracts from their player rating or batting average. Players in the 126-134 range generally get hosed at third in those situations, btw.
Speed is always great and can make up for a lack of power if those players get on base and avoid outs and take those extra bases. However, the majority of speedsters aren't going to sniff .500 or even .450. So they aren't on base enough and don't get enough hits or score enough runs to overcome their lack of power (speedy guys with low power are usually found at the bottom of the order). Manufacturing runs happens, but when it doesn't and the other team is hitting homeruns, distance in the score happens fast. It's all a delicate balance with your lineup construction where those low power but speedy players have a defined role. It is tricky to squeeze every ounce of production out of them when considering where to put them in the lineup.
Beef, Sutton will do you good, but Big Daddy might be a problem unless he has a better year - it can happen. Nacho may have the best BP, but this game is so random, nothing is a sure thing. Garrelts does have the lowest career ERA for a RP, but McDowell is in the middle of the pack. I'm starting to think that say out of 9 strong outings for a RP or SP for instance, maybe that one outing where huge numbers were dropped on them shot up their ERA. That's why I like to go back and look at the individual game stats from the seasons to look at a pitcher's outing.
I have ran some simulated games, and I will say that GDavis can put up some big innings in bunches. Who knows though, I've come to realize, as I've mentioned before, that the FRBI league is much more random than I realized.
This year will be interesting. There are actually some good starting pitching staffs out there. Nolan Ryan had an eye opening year last year with his ERA and least HR's given up. I went back and looked at the historical stats, and he has given the fewest career wise. Back to this year, should be really interesting.

The bottom of my order is now garbage but I have a pretty formidable top of the lineup.
Ryno has all lefties in his batting order and pitching staff! You sure did get the better end of that deal! Dawson will make up for your bottom of the lineup unless he has a down year.
Actually, that trade seems really fair tbh. Reggie Jackson has a glitch because he never produces what his contact-power rating dictates. I believe he was traded twice in season IV! He's still very productive, but for a guy with the second most power, he for some reason doesn't ever register in the top 5 for homeruns.
So you're saying he's due?

I know its a long shot, but I'm looking to deal Santana. Not because he's terrible, but because he's left handed.
If you have 2 horrendous bench bats, send them my way for a less than horrible LH bench player and Santana.

Neil Diamond Division :love:
Clearly the best division. The Tom Jones division will be drinking a sad cocktail while listening to Love on the Rocks following the ass beating the Neil Diamond Division puts down.
The schedule is messed up.
How did people make schedules before? I can't find any good website to do it and doing it by hand is a massive headache since there's an uneven number of games each week
DIVISION NAMES APPROVED
Here is a schedule. . . made in my old ass excel (2003)
Thanks to Ryno...I was a mess at figuring it out
Glad to help. Wilfong gets 50 extra power points, right?
just gonna say it once b4 someone complains later
we should probably have a 17 game season where division rivals play 3 times (12) & 1 inter division game per team (5)
That's a great idea, and I'm sure everyone would agree it makes sense. However, it would be pretty tough on someone to make that schedule fit into a nice, neat weekly schedule where every team has one game per week.
I could see it working where you set it up as 3 game series with the inter league set during one week.
ill try to brain this up tomorrow. would be worth a shot & if it hasn't been done before, we can save it for later seasons if it works out
i think i've done this once before for a baseketball league in the mid 2000s
it also may not be possible. we may have had bye weeks tho
i just drove back from cleveland and smoked a spliff. anything is hard to tell at this moment

Thanks to Ryno...I was a mess at figuring it out
The first year I was commissioner for FRBI V, I did the schedule by hand on two large pieces of paper. I went with a 21 game schedule where divisional teams played each other 3 times and non-division teams played each other twice. I had to figure out/puzzle together so that non-divisional opponents played a home and away with two different SPs. I also had to make sure that the divisional opponents SPs didn't start against the same team 3 times - all that so the SPs never started in consecutive games. It was differently max usage of my brain to puzzle that together by hand - took me two days and many hours.
Ryno's schedule seems good with a 18 game season. Everybody plays each other twice with a home and away. Didn't look close enough to check if SP's weren't throwing consecutively to certain teams and on so on.
Here is the puzzle I put together by hand (highlighted teams denotes home games in the second tab) :
Also attached and never released publicly or privately, the stats from season V that had a 21-game schedule
nice.
now just make it a 17 game season and change the team names to our league

Ryno gave an excellent format to Tempo. Everyone playing each other twice in a 18-game season seems cool beans. Don't matter to me. I was just showing how I manually did my schedule and certainly don't expect it to be replicated since 21 games in a season is maybe excessive. Besides, it'll take hours to rejumble and strip down that schedule down to 17 games with everything in order such as home and aways as well as SPs pitching alternatively to all the teams and not in consecutive games.
i'm sorry, i thought i heard "I AM DARKY THE RBI BAZEBALL GOD"
but now all i hear is "i dunno how to do shit *kicks rock*"
Tempo said thanks to Ryno and didn't object, so I assumed he is going with that. Just the messenger my friend.
Tempo, have you decided on the errors for this year? I haven't seen anything official and I would like to know so I can insert that number into my Summer Classic Tournament rom.

I'll ask again.
What will the errors be set to?
How many games will this season be for each team?
Playoff format?
Who is keeping stats?
How will the games be televised?
Rotating starting pitchers right?
Tell us more about how you plan to run the league.
Quote from: nomaaa on 07/23/18, 05:38:15 PM
somebody had to be last, and it probably should have been the team that finished the worst from last year
Well, I picked next to last ... last year. Like I pointed out, the first 4 picks are at a huge advantage in a 10-team season. I looked over all the seasons, and those who picked 1-4 heavily represented in the playoffs and finals. TBG won back-to-back titles in seasons II and III, and both of those seasons he had the first pick. Turd picked second in season VI, and he was a rookie. Dawson carried him to the finals and the Legion of Doom (Beef and TBG), picked second that year and won it all. Last year, Tempo picked first and Dawson's 22 HR's carried him for the championship. The next batter with the most homeruns hit 14 homeruns. Out of all the seasons, the top 4 picks are heavily represented in the playoffs and the few exceptions came from me, Nacho/MikeD, and Ultimate ... and that's because people like RePeat, Attez, and TBT made dumb mistakes in the draft and then some trades helped my team and Nacho/Mike D's team in season V - that season I picked next to last and Nacho/Mike D picked last. To succeed in the bottom of the draft, you need to not make mistakes, rely on other people's draft mistakes, and get lucky in a trade.
So that's 2 drafts where I picked next to last, and one draft where I picked last. In season IV when Fighton ran it, I came in early in the season and took over for Ryno since he disappeared from the forum for a long time. I pulled off a series of trades and got to the finals.
Most of these questions were not asked before, but I will answer them now:
Errors will be set to 8
Each team will play each other team twice
Playoffs - we will do two divisions. The second and third place teams in each division will face each other in a best of seven to play the first place team of that division. The winners of each division mini-tournament will play in the finals against each other.
Games will be uploaded to YouTube once they are done. If there is a way to broadcast them live as well, let me know and I will try and figure it out...but I don't know how to do that as of now, if it's possible,
Yes, SPs will be rotated.
Divisions (randomly created) and schedules will be posted later on this week. If I am going to go random for the divisions, what is a way to show what I am doing live besides for going on Facebook? There's obviously some concern from SOMEONE here that not all is on the up and up, so if people want to witness it and there's an easy way to go about doing so, I'm fine with that.
Need to be OFFICIAL, imo. Maybe a proclamation of some sort? Could Tempo hire a Town Crier?
Are we going to have to do the whole draft over again from scratch because Tempo forgot to make this all official?
could've easily put OFFICIAL in the thread title and saved himself some trouble
I thought it was a mock draft to get us ready. Can't wait for the real draft.
I'm getting reports to moderator asking as if this draft was official. I am happy to report that none of this is...
Is that your OFFICIAL judgement or your practice one?
Think about it
Looking to start the season early next week
Quote from: TempoGL on 07/24/18, 07:49:59 AM
I said errors at 8 (and eighties at 8) because I thought that's what fighton had them at last year. I don't want them to dominate the landscape. Would 5 be better?
You dorks, this is why I asked because Tempo asked us and there were some responses, but nothing was concluded. He asked, there some responses, and Strassy didn't reply to those responses. Seems logical for me to ask. He said 8, then appeared flexible, then no official hammer came down. Way to read the posts fellas!
Errors will be at 8.
There may be a trade coming. A rarity - I am negotiating to make the trade less beneficial to me because I thought the initial offer (which was proposed to me) was too one-sided in my favor.
Trade
The Empire gets:
Randy Bush
Jose Uribe
Geo Metros get:
Ozzie Smith
Marty Barrett
Darkside's original offer was Smith for Uribe straight up. Upon looking at it, it wasn't that crazy, since Uribe does have marginally better contact and power ratings to go with less speed. But it didn't sit well with me seeing how he took him in the 3rd round for some reason. So I decided that we should exchange Bush and Barrett as well since Bush gives the Empire more of a bench edge.
So Darky spends more time analyzing Fantasy RBI but then uses that information to make terrible decisions? Makes sense.
To be clear, Darky offered to trade his third round pick to Strassy for a guy who Strass didn't want or need but reached for in the 14th round just to increase the likelihood that I'd get stuck with one of the three worst players in RBI.

It was a well conceived plan well before the draft even started! ;D

Please go back and edit your lineup on the first page so I can make the changes in the tourney rom.
I can't edit right now but my bench order is now:
Wilson
OSmith
Seitzer
Barrett
God forgive me for trading spilman!!!! But hojo Johnson is just the kind of guy the cops are looking for. Left handed. Terrible glove. Great facial hair.
Mazilli is not Santana.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you your 2018 Fantasy RBI Copulators!!!!!!!!
Left Handed
Terrible Gloves
Great Facial Hair (for the most part)
approved...
Damn should've found a way to work Keith Hernandez into our deal
That asshole Terry Pendleton had to go and win 3 fucking gold gloves. Fucking over acheiver.
Terryton is so smooth

We need to dissect this more. We all agree that Ozzie was a horrible pick. Maybe taking over for Nokes as the worst of all time. But I feel like once Darky made that pick he need to be committed to it. But instead he trades Ozzie away for peanuts.

The schedule we will use is the one that was posted by Ryno.
Right now, I am researching options for live broadcast on either Twitch or YouTube for the games. Games will begin this week, possibly as soon as tonight.
Twitch is insanely complicated for something that ten year olds use. I gave up on it. I'll just be uploaded games to YouTube after I sim them. I think I could broadcast my screen to YouTube live, but I want to be doing the box scores as the games sim, and that would affect the viewing quality.

My bad, I thought the schedule was empty for some reason - just my head is empty. I had it downloaded and just checked.
Also, thanks for doing the season this year! Hopefully you won't get burned out because it's a lotta work.

That's why I want to get started now before school starts! The goal is to get a week in every week before I go back to work, because the pace will undoubtedly slow once that occurs.

aha, Fightonusc pace! We are used to that. I'll look forward to the playoffs in June!
Major problem with scorekeeping - Fighton's way is only an app as far as I can tell, and I don't have an iPad or anything reasonable to use for that.
Downloaded an excel spreadsheet, but it's locked until you pay them $30.

I assumed all teachers have excel! Anyways, give me 5 minutes, I have a scorekeeping program that is free. Let me check my other hard drive.

I have access to excel. What I don't have is access to the spreadsheet that some pointdexter wants $30 for the ability to edit.
GDavis, please post an updated lineup. After swapping for the trades, I have Rafael Santana batting sixth for you, which I somehow doubt that you want.
Try this.
