Same thing if you have one outfield game left. You get credit for all 5 outfield spots the final day and finish 4 over. I have done this for years and in one league today is the day I am using 9 SP to close out my IP in a league. Starting with 595 IP with a 600 limit. Yeah that is true of all platforms. The third party database they employee has to gather data over a 24 hour period as a set unit software-wise. Sure you can "see" up to the minute stats but they can't be added to the official daily totals until after the day ends and so are added in a collective data packet. Always has been this way. Software coding and what they can and cannot do with it dictates fantasy sports. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But some of the smaller more customizable platforms, like OnRoto, can cut off the stats once the max is met. I don't know how they did it, but they did it the one year we moved over to them.

That would suck. How do they pick and choose what IP to use? Dont get wins from SP if they give them 2 IP each? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is both interesting and funny at the same time. The whole operation is probably run by one guy out of his basement sitting there monitoring the last day live all day long, hah.

B&F 948 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Which website posts lineups the earliest? Sick of losing out on stats by having players in my lineup that are not starting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sick of losing out on stats by having players in my lineup that are not starting. This is the gold standard for me. They seem to list them just a hair before the platform: https://www.baseballpress.com/lineups Also the platforms themselves list these things. On Yahoo if there is a sudden change you can get an alert on their phone app. Edited September 24, 2020 by The Big Bat Theory 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
posty 1,381 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Might as well get this in now... If there are any regular season games that are played on Monday, September 28 (or later), Yahoo will NOT be counting those statistics... Not sure about the other platforms, but pretty sure some of them do the same thing... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PirateFan43 22 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 So the Cardinals doubleheader on Monday will NOT count for Yahoo even though the Cardinals will have only played 58 games.... correct? Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Big Bat Theory 7,607 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 It makes sense since all platform software is set-up for weekly increments to accommodate both h2h and weekly leagues. Also to give the owners of Cardinal and Brewers players an extra DAY of stats for the final week would be unfair to the owners of the other players. Also I think all platforms announce pre-season the final day of the season so to shift that because some idiot Cardinal players and/or staff went out to a casino and caught covid doesn't seem right. Lose some stats because those games had to be pushed back past the official end of the season? Blame those guys for that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ultraa 53 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Prius Efficiency Your starter just pitched a shutout! The Toyota Prius commends you on getting the job done in the most efficient manner possible. Corolla Mr. Clutch MLB Boom, the grand salami. Your player hit a grand slam. In addition to the home run, run scored, and all those RBIs, the Toyota Corolla awards you a medal to commemorate this clutch moment. Rav4 2 For 1 Value You earned two saves in one day! The only thing better than one save is two, so the Toyota RAV4 applauds you for knowing where to find value in your relief pitchers. The Unicorn This medal is awarded to any player with a 100-yard receiver and 100-yard rusher in the same week. By racking up all those yards through the air and on the ground, you are officially a unicorn...with wings. Toyota Unicorn I would actually buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
meh2 3,563 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I'm considering starting a fantasy league that will run through the MLB playoffs since the season was so short and I'm looking for advice. Does anyone know of a good platform that offers this? Also, what type of formats are there and what works best? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheNephilim 169 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Sorry if this is a repost. I can’t find another thread but I imagine it has to have happened to others who use ESPN. In my 14 team roto ESPN league ( I’m commish) , the scoring for pitching in the final standings reverted to all ties for ERA and WHIP thereby giving everyone 7.5 pts. This is obviously an error. This changed the final standings and is flat incorrect. I assumed it would fix and was simply a glitch. It hasn’t been fixed and I don’t see any clear contact info for ESPN but a bunch of nonsense faqs. Anyone else have this happen? I’m holding leaguesafe until glitch fixes.

I’m guessing it’s because no one hit the innings limit. Might have to reset and then see if it refreshes the standings. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
