Heidi Watney

I don't know how many of you guys watch Heidi Watney on Quick Pitch every night on the MLB Network, but even though I have always thought that she was beautiful, her twitter account picture of herself is just awesome.

Re: Cutline Daily Points

How about this, Greg. Continue to send out the daily Cutline emails with how many points each player and team accumulated yesterday because people do want to see that. Then add this: Because the Cutline contest is an optimal scoring contest and the starters that were in your starting lineup yesterda...

Todd - That might be better than the useless and misleading daily information that they send out now for the Cutline.

Re: Cutline Daily Points

Why are you so friggin upset,dude? You can assume all you want about the points being calculated correctly. When I see discrepancies, I want to be able to figure out why without having to wait until Monday. As far as beating this to death, the powers that be still haven't chimed in either yesterday ...

Re: Cutline Daily Points

Todd - I appreciate your input and respect your opinion and explanation of how to verify on a weekly basis. However, I would wager that almost everybody playing the Cutline likes to see how many points their team(s) have accumulated on a daily basis and where they are in the standings on a daily bas...

Cutline Daily Points

There needs to be a better explanation of how the Cutline daily points are calculated. I received my daily email report from Stats this morning that detailed how my team did yesterday. It told me that my players accumulated 141 points yesterday. Then I go to the Cutline Overall Standings and I see t...

Re: Cutline giving incorrect League/Overall Standing points

I do not have a master's degree in mathematics (although I suspect you might have one), but If what you say is true, there needs to be an easier way to check the accuracy of the daily increase/decrease in the standings for the common Cutline player who wants to keep track of these things without goi...

Re: Cutline giving incorrect League/Overall Standing points

by KJ Duke » Sat Jun 11, 2016 6:49 pm I haven't looked at any scoring issues, but the day-to-day optimal-scoring increase is not going to match daily points scored. If Pitcher A scores 15 and bumps Pitcher B with 10 pts out of the lineup, the net daily gain would be 5 not 15. Is this accounted for ...

Re: Cutline not giving correct League Standing points

I just noticed in the Cutline Overall Standings that I was only given 76 points for yesterday and it should have been 109 points. You are probably going to have to do a re-run once the problem is corrected.

Cutline giving incorrect League/Overall Standing points

I knew that I had a pretty good day yesterday, but when comparing my league totals from 6/9 to yesterday's totals from 6/10, my team was only credited with 76 points in the league standings from 6/9 to 6/10. So I manually calculated yesterday's point totals for my team and arrived at a figure of 109...

It's like Christmas morning in the Cutline

Even though the Cutline FAAB was grueling (and I only have 3 teams), today is like Christmas morning. Just like when we were kids. You wake-up and rush to the Cristmas tree to see all of the presents that have your name on them. Did I get those toys I was hoping to get, or will I be disappointed? Ev...

Why did it not work when you re-ran the stats overnight and you thought that everything was correct then? What changed between last night's re-run and the 2nd re-run you...

Let me preface what I am going to say by saying that this is not meant to be personal to either Tom or Greg. It is strictly business. It pisses me off that a high stakes contest l...

If it is fixed now and all stats have been re-run, why are the stats for some of the players in the Cutline still inaccurate?

Re: Wilson Ramos' stats for Period 8 look incorrect in Cutli

Just checked Strasburg for Period 8. The system credits him with 27 points - but he actually had 43.6 points. I wonder how many more players have incorrect points. There needs to be better quality control on the accuracy of stats. If I had not noticed Ramos, would this problem just go unnoticed and ...

Ramos, Wilson C.. 3..... 22.. 3. 6.. 2.. 5.. 0


The system is only giving him 3 points for period 8.

The next day, Monday, we have to submit our starting lineups. I see that Duvall is not in the Reds lineup for Monday - so I fig...
