Re: CUTLINE still wrong even after re-run

It looks like when they re-ran everything they included Sunday's games as well (except for the Sunday night game). I could be wrong as I didn't do much checking into this.

Re: Looking For Feedback On NFBC Cutline Rules

I decided to give Cutline a go for the first time this year and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the optimal lineup feature that makes it stand out from everything else. I think the roster size and FAAB periods are fine. I would be sad to see roster expansion/FAAB disappear in this contest. It rea...

Re: I can't explain this math (cutline)

The scoring changes errors are still very concerning in my opinion. It seems some are included are some are not. Might have something to do with the day scoring change applies(4/6 and 4/14)? Here is the MLB's list of scoring changes: http://m.mlb.com/promo/scoring-changes Four Examples of Scoring Ch...

Re: I can't explain this math (cutline)

Here is the what I think is the deal with that. The cutline live scoring isn't optimized properly. Aside from Monday, everyday your live scoring +/- points will likely not match your actual +/- for the day, HOWEVER your actual total overall score is correct in live scoring any given day. Example giv...

Re: I can't explain this math (cutline)

After looking into it further, cutline is definitely not being updated for scoring corrections. Another example in Period 3, Russell Martin is being credited 2 points for the week when he should be -3. His 9th inning steal on 4/14 was changed to defensive indifference.

Re: I can't explain this math (cutline)

There was a scoring correction for this game at some point. Initially was scored an HBP for Justin Bour (vs. Gio Gonzalez) that was later changed to a walk which would change the total points from 17 to 16 points. Apparently the points aren't automatically recalculated when scoring corrections are m...

The Padres are trying out Christian Bethancourt as a pitcher with the idea using him as a potential ultimate utility player.

Regarding Weaver let me first say this- some parks are immune even if you add 10 feet to every flyball, including SF, Atlanta, LAA, and Miami. It's the 'tweener parks and bandboxes that are seeing the biggest jumps. Regarding pitching styles less effected, there are three components at least that c...

He went from being threatened by Adam Warren for the 5th spot in the rotation to have roughly equal fantasy value to Jake Arrieta. What a differenc...

He has 22 according to Fangraphs. Also at baseball reference if total up his LF,CF, and RF it totals 22 (same at MLB.com).
