    HOLY **** YAHOO!!! IT HAS BEEN SINCE 2015 THAT WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS!!! IT IS A SIMPLE CHANGE THAT WE KNOW YOU CAN IMPLEMENT!!!!!! WHY IN GOD'S NAME ARE YOU STILL GATHERING FEEDBACK!!! I REPEAT IT HAS BEEN 5 YEARS!!!

    Nothing has convinced me more of the ineptitude of you people and your disregard for the people using your product. Make the change now!! Stop playing games it's been 5 years of me writing these ridiculous feedback posts to get the most simplistic basic thing done. DO YOUR ******** JOBS!!!!

  • Edward Reed commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please implement this! It would be a huge improvement. Otherwise I may have to move my league to an alternative site. Please also make it so there is an option for no double counting (i.e., if a pitcher gets a W and a QS in one start, they only get one point).

    It has been five years and this is still at the top of the hot topics...

    The fact that yahoo cannot add this simple implementation is down right dumbfounding and absurd. This stat would be instrumental in my baseball league and thousands of others. Why in God's name does it take yahoo so long to "Gather Feedback" on make the most simplistic customizable options????????

  • Daniel Sciarrillo commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add “Wins + quality starts” as a pitching category. Wins are overrated and not a true indicator of a pitcher’s success but deserve a little credit as a category. Adding this would be a great option for managers to have. Thanks!

  • Andrew Zanow commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you can add this or some version of of wins and quality starts together in 2020 that would be awesome. If not, can we please have a decision one way or the other? This suggestion has been in limbo for 4 years. I personally would rather have a no we aren't doing this than no progress at all.

  • Edward Reed commented  ·   ·  Report

    Strongly support this idea, with the caveat that there should be only one point possible per outing (i.e., a P cannot get a QS and a W in the same game). Would be a HUGE improvement -- both W and QS have limitations that this new stat would address!

  • mjones06 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add this! It would be a HUGE improvement, and there’s other options out there with more league customization.

  • Brett Isaacoff commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have been asking for this category now for YEARS!

    The following is an embarrassingly asinine list of categories that Yahoo thinks is more relevant that QS+W:

    Balks
    Grand Slams
    Catcher Interference
    Hitting for the Cycle
    Pickoffs
    No Hitters
    Perfect Games

  • Chris Walker commented  ·   ·  Report

    Will another year go by while Yahoo fails to support this category?

    from Bill James Online
    ERA is a useful summary statistic, but my favorite stat for pitchers is Opponent OPS. For MLB, overall, Opponent OPS is pretty consistent with ERA, but for an individual pitcher, it is much more indicative of his true pitching performance than ERA. ERA has many biases that Opponent OPS does not have. For example, ERA rewards pitchers who allow most of their home runs with no runners on base or are able to strand runners at the end of innings, even though those events are generally believed to be random and out of the pitcher’s control.

    Yahoo, please add Opponent OPS as an available scoring category.

  • EDWARD STACK commented  ·   ·  Report

    In pitching Holds & losses , and hitting extra base hits, walks Walks of all of these must be added, stupid not to add them. Same with Holds.for pitchers.

  • Andrew Zanow commented  ·   ·  Report

    How can I find out if this feedback page is viewed by any one at yahoo? Wins plus Quality Starts has been asked about for years with no response.

  • Max Allard commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you play in roto with Ks and BBs for offensive stats, this could lead to skewed standings if not everyone uses their games played. Adding in K% and BB% lets us keep the stats we like and avoid any potential problems with teams not using all their spots and gaining 12 points in Ks. Thanks

  • Jay Cohen commented  ·   ·  Report

    SERIOUSLY DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOMETHING!!!!!

  • Seth Eric Cohen commented  ·   ·  Report

    OK YAHOO IT'S ONE YEAR LATER SO I GET TO POST THIS AGAIN:

    I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDED!! IT IS SO INCREDIBLY SIMPLE AND EASY TO ADD! YOU HAVE A STAT THAT IS SAVES + HOLDS, BUT YOU CANNOT MANAGE TO DO QS + WINS!!! YOU PEOPLE ARE AN UTTERLY LAZY DISGRACE!
