2020 RBI Super -- Commentary Thread

[nomaaa]

I genuinely thought about having Darky pick last after what he pulled in the arcade league;
however, I'm not even sure that's a disadvantage in this league.

[Shooty]

So if someone picks Arcade McGwire, then NES McGwire is off the board as well?  Correct?

[BeefMaster]

I would not expect that.

[fightonusc]

Yeah, I would have assumed that they are treated as two different players since they have different ratings.

[Shooty]

I like my approach better.  Right now there are too many players to choose from.  At least this limits the pool at bit.

Nomaaa, what say you?

[nomaaa]

only one mcgwire

"no duplicate players" meant just that. i wasn't sure if mcgwire was the only one or not

[nomaaa]

probably should have explicitly stated that earlier, but it's not really that huge of a deal with all the monster players in the draft

[Shooty]

Good decision nomaaa.

[Reds]

Oh stop kissing ass you canadian bastard!

[BeefMaster]

only one mcgwire

"no duplicate players" meant just that. i wasn't sure if mcgwire was the only one or not

Off the top of my head, McGwire, Canseco, Dawson, Sandberg, most of the Astros, and a few each on the Red Sox, Cards, and Giants (since they're in both games).

[nomaaa]

cool. i think it makes the most sense and keeps it clean

[Shooty]

Oh stop kissing ass you canadian bastard!

I give credit where credit is due.

Starting 1 at each position and 3 OF, correct?  Position as defined by the game, do we need to clarify any bench players?

[nomaaa]

correct. positions as defined in game/excel. no bench requirements

i'll update the draft thread accordingly

[BeefMaster]

By "3 OF" do you mean ANY three outfielders, or one each at LF, RF, and CF?

[nomaaa]

any type. it's now in the first post of the draft thread

[nomaaa]

someone should probably tell Ryno he's up

we might be able to make a run of picks here tonight

I couldn't find a compatible scorekeeper at the time - the old version I used before as commissioner no longer worked on my laptop and there was no compatible platform for my stupid phone. There was no way I was going to do it by hand and nobody stepped in for help. So the league folded. Didn't Tempo's league fold as well? Yeah, it did. I felt bad about that, trust me. Sorry for the letdown there. The league is tons of investment of work and time and Tempo found out about that. So I'm not the only one and it's no excuse, but you could have thrown his name in there if you are calling out people and want to be inclusive

[nomaaa]

no it was bc you made ryno pick last since you felt like it iirc

[ryno]

Sorry.....will keep up better tomorrow
