    Scoring needs to be modernized.

    Add OPS so triples and doubles are important. Could probably replace HRs with this. HR and RBI are so tightly correlated you don't need both.

    Add Holds to Saves (called High Leverage Outing - HLO), then middle relievers become an important asset. Especially since they also get a lot of the Wins now due to pitch count. Which means...

    Wins should probably become Quality Starts.

    Relief P Contribution (RP Wins+Saves+Holds)
    Please add to the Pitching Scoring options: Relief P Contribution 2 (RP Wins+Saves+Holds)

  • Kristóf Varga commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add to the Pitching Scoring options: Starter Wins

  • Kristóf Varga commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add to the Pitching Scoring options: QA3 (IP >=5 + ERA <=4,5)
    Quality Appereance when the starting pitchers IP IS at least 5 and the ERA is max 4,5.
    This can replace QS as QS is getting obsolete.

    Please add to the Pitching Scoring options: Saves + Holds v2 (SV*2+HLD)

    it just makes sense...We have errors and random cat's people would never use but we don't have this one? com'on

    While a stat for "inherited runners scored" exists, this is a punishing stat. Could we add an "inherited runner prevented" stat as a configurable scoring option? This would bring more value to middle relievers and setup men, encouraging the best to be rostered as opposed to actively avoiding these players if using the "inherited runners scored" stat.

    ROBERT, I AGREE - these fools haven't done **** about this, for 2.5 years now. it's pathetic!!!!!

    HR Allowed tries to measure the pitchers skill by brute force. HR/9 captures so much more.

  • douglas sloane commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add HR/9 to the pitching scoring category. It captures the skill better than HR Allowed.

    Although most leagues are finished, a few leagues I'm in are just finishing up this week. We now have 2 suspended games in Championship week. Why do you remove the stats generated in those games, then make stat corrections on Sunday?? We're going to have a game finishing on Monday afternoon this week, when will the stats for Miami/NYM from 9/28 be added?? Why not leave the stats in and add rest on the day the game is completed? It's harder to use strategy when you don't have all the information

    I would like to request the adding of "Wins + Quality Starts" as a Category. Currently a Starting Pitcher can pitch terrible and still get a Win. Combining "Wins + Quality Starts" is a much more measure of a Starting Pitcher's effectiveness. I can't believe that it would difficult to institute this and would give Commissioners another Category to improve and individualize their League's Scoring. Thanks!

  • Joe Del Prete commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am requesting for Wins + Quality Starts to be an added category.

    It is the top request per the original forum post and appears to have been requested for years by numerous people. Please Yahoo, add this category in the off-season, as it would make for more competitive play and better user experiences.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Can we add Innings Pitched per Start? Innings pitched can easily be fooled by loading up on starters in a 9 pitcher league where you can start as many SP's as you want. Quality over quantity.
