    WHY IN GOD'S NAME HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDED AS A STAT YET????????????????????????????

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Creating a category just for "starting pitcher wins" would eliminate RPs from racking up 'cheap' wins

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Pitching Category Net Wins which is wins minus losses

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    This needs to happen.. it’s 2019

  • Kyle Mattracion commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree. Please add Wins + QS. It's very simple and will get rid of the controversy behind choosing one or the other.

  • Ronny Coleman commented  ·   ·  Report

    About 4-5 years ago, I suggested a new pitching category, OPS against. Just like hitters have OPS, so do pitchers. If OBP against can be a pitching category, so can OPS against, or OOPS. Opponent OPS is much more indicative of a pitcher's true pitching performance than ERA is. Please add.

    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!

  • George Demery commented  ·   ·  Report

    Because of the number of injuries not only in baseball but football and basketball as well the "can't cut list" should be abolished or there should be a new category for players who are out for the year so they do not take up DL or IL spots. Designate it as "ineligible to return" (ITR) or "season ending injury" (SEI). If you do designate an injured player so he does not count against the roster then the "Can't cut list" could be retained.

    Jesus, if this is rated #1 no wonder we are still waiting for them to let us drag and drop our drafted players to the position we want them in. Who thought this stupidity up? And #1?

  • SCOTT FRENZEL commented  ·   ·  Report

    Would really like to see an option to add a Wins + Quality Starts (W+QS) category

  • Seth Eric Cohen commented  ·   ·  Report

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS SLIDE ANOTHER YEAR YAHOO. IT IS A SIMPLE STAT A LOT OF LEAGUES WOULD USE

  • Chris Walker commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please don't let another year go by without this category added as an option.

  • Kirk Horsman commented  ·   ·  Report

    I think the same band of fools has voted this to the top. We might as well have the categories "Doubles by virtue of the fielder losing the ball in the sun", "singles by virtue of the fielder losing the ball in the lights", "batters reaching on dropped third strikes", "batters reaching on catcher interference","baserunners' bases gained on defensive indifference". Seriously, why do you need another category to manage your league? Are you trying to avoid someone gaining an advantage in ratio stats by drafting only relievers? Put in a minimum innings pitched requirement. Trying to prevent someone streaming SP to pick up Ks? Add a maximum weekly transaction limit (and season limit for that matter). Ratio stats are huge in baseball, they have been since the game started, they will be there forever. ERA is probably the best stat that exists for pitchers. Wins and losses are meaningless; they are a team stat. If you amassed 30 wins and win all your games 10-8, does that make you a good pitcher? No, your team bailed you out. If you lose 20 games with an ERA of 1.50, are you a bad pitcher? No, your team's offense stinks. I just want to understand why you think there is a need for this imaginary stat category. And Yahoo, please allow me to vote thrice against ideas that I think deserve no consideration at all. This is eerily reminiscent of NHL fan all-star voting John Scott the the 2016 Game or the 2007 Vote for Rory campaign. If I could understand why, maybe I could go along. I just don't see the point.

    Seems like a logical add. Wins are unchanged and QS are rewarded. However, I don't know how it would work getting 2 points for a QS and a W. What about you get 1 point for either a QS... OR .... W but not both?

  • joe hartnett commented  ·   ·  Report

    then you probably don't want batting average as well

  • SCOTT FRENZEL commented  ·   ·  Report

    Not all wins are QS and not all QS starts are wins. But the times a pitcher can get both in a start would be at a premium. Please make this an option for leagues to use, if leagues don't want to use it, they don't have to.

  • Chris Walker commented  ·   ·  Report

    If some people don't like this category, don't add it in your league. But help the leagues that DO want to add this!
