    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!

    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.

  • Sean Riley commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can we not have 2B + 3B as a scoring category. The extra base scoring currently also adds HR's which isn't an accurate reflection of players that hit a lot of extra base hits but not HR's.

    This should be an easy add.

  • Rob P commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be a great add!

  • Keith Hibbetts commented  ·   ·  Report

    My league uses 2B as a category, but it would better to have the option for 2b+3B. Triples are rare enough that I don’t want to use it as a category, but I’m tired of a hit by one of my players being less valuable to me if they stretch it into a triple

    Return OBP and OPS stats in the list of things to track instead of two other useless categories!!

    Hi, I have a fantasy basketball league, and we're interested in seeing a +/- scoring category. This would add a whole new element to the fantasy game. Coaches use +/- data all the time to make coaching decisions, so I think it would be interesting to see that in fantasy as well. Obviously, it would reward fantasy managers who roster players on winning teams and punish those who roster some players on losing teams. Just another challenge to think about when setting lineups against opponents. I think it could work really well for seasoned fantasy basketball managers. Thanks!

    Yahoo Fantasy Management:
    League 18344: please add batter strikeouts and pitcher losses to our scoring category stats.

  • Caleb Newberg commented  ·   ·  Report

    W+QS would be incredible. Also, as another poster mentioned, (2*SV)+H would be great—having Holds and Saves in one category but weighting Saves twice as heavy. There are a lot of wacky categories like Balks, Pitch Count, Wild Pitches, etc. — why not bring in some new categories that better reflect the current landscape.

    What's the point of this topic or feedback at all... If Yahoo. continues to ignore the overwhelming response to the Message. Board Removal across all fantasy sports?

    I love how Yahoo ranks this topic.as the. #1 most popular or hot topic or whatever despite it only being an active thread less than 10 posts in 2023 (including mine) since last year!!!!

    Yahoo, you owe your users better.

    Just an FYI for any other Yahoo Fantasy Sports users.. Below is the primary link (I pasted I am posting a of somewhat similar version, but by no means identical nor off-topic.

    So, if hasn't been seen but other users, it is imperative for everyone, if it hasn't been realized and/or known about already).

    So as a courtesy to all fellow fantasy players, below are more thoughts
    regarding all user feedback.

    The link(s) were provided directly by Yahoo (more than a month ago) which, as of today, March 5th, Yahoo has listed as only the 3rd most popular feedback topic with well over a thousand comments... All, virtually without exception: unfavorable responses that dwarf every other topic by far and possibly combined! Message Board Removal link (just in case any fellow uses finds themselves stumbling upon the newest current thread started by a less aware user that likely also are just. recently realizing this before creating a separate post... So it's probably best to pass along the primary thread to your league mates and re-post or voice one's feedback and sentiments on the below thread going forward.
    https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/206146-fantasy-baseball/suggestions/46238233--chat-message-boards-message-board-removal-feedba
    So this topic or any other is of no consequence and not even remotely as important as Yahoo's message board removal decision (which there's still time to fix imo)

    Who cares about search filters when many leagues across all Yahoo Fantasy platforms actually might not even begin at all with the recent outcry and outrage over what is obviously a far more important topic to all fantasy users of Yahoo (who are already making a mass exit from. Yahoo for other sites and platforms)

    I'll post a message I wrote on another redundant and/or outdated topic thread here for people unaware of this, and might not realize that their fantasy leagues may be in serious jeopardy of even happening in 2023.

    Just an FYI for any other Yahoo Fantasy Sports users.. Below I'm including the primary link (I pasted elsewhere also as it's more and more appearing that Yahoo
    and its topic admins are avoiding the elephant in the topics of discussion and user replies

    So just in case, to make my informed observation known and understood....

    I'm re-posting my explanation for the benefit of all if it's stumbled upon here.

    Hopefully it helps other fantasy users to prioritize their concerns and raises awareness for all, if this knowledge hasn't been already considered).

    The following I have info to others regarding public feedback threads.

    The link I post below was provided directly by Yahoo (more than just a little over a month ago in 2023)) which, as of today, March 5th, Yahoo has listed as only the 3rd most popular feedback topic with well over a thousand comments...

    I would like to know why your numbers are different than MLB.com. Your ERS are different than their eras. You think you have a good pitcher. The MLB has him pitch a game with a 2.15 ERA and yahoo has him at 6.5 ERA. I lost a hame last year because of 1 catigory. I had a relief pitcher charged with a blown save but a relief win in the same game. The team won and he gave up no hits at all. Because of the blown save I lost that week. Half of the pitching in the league is like this. I would like to know how you chose a pitcher under these conditions. You all have a screwed up spread sheet or it is on purpose. I contacted you all and sent multiple screenshots on multiple occasions over the course of the year. You agents apparently are still learning math. One agent did not have a problem with a RP getting a win and a loss in the same game when he gave up no hits and the team won and the stats did not match MLB.com.. If this is what you all going to continue to do my BIGGEST QUESTION IS, WHY EVEN PLAY? FIX THE PROBLEM.

    Please just add a category for doubles + triples.

    Triples don't happen enough to warrant their own category, and XBH incorporates HRs
