The Alphanumeric Mystery Baseball Challenge: Starting Pitchers

pootshwan said:

These are not your selections......you calculated for my pitchers (but also missed a last name that ended in 'R'). This is why we got different pitchers for the SP4 slot. hal newhouser is the 11th pitcher with his last name ending in 'R'. You needed to select the 10th pitcher which would be Orel Hershiser.

I took another look at the field, and wiggly is using the correct codes. His entry in the signup thread (post #32) matches the field exactly. Apparently, you used his codes. Please compare your entry (post #27) with the field.

NOTE: I just took a close look at wiggly's score. The 10th pitcher whose name ends in an R is actually Ryan Dempster. Look it up! Also, since Dempster had time in the minors, you have to filter for MLB stats only. There's a button right at the top of his stats page (ALL, MLB, Minors). Dempster had 89 strikeouts in year 23.

So:

Starting Pitcher 1: c4,h12 : (c4=l3)juan marichal)(h) : (h12=l8)walks allowed(s8=42)(-2.5x)
42(-2.5)=(-105)
Starting Pitcher 2: b2,r7 : (b2=e3)timothy keefe(h) : (r7=g18)innings pitched(s18=619)(4x)
619(4)=2476
Starting Pitcher 3: a8,w11 : (a8=r10)ryan dempster : (w11=k23)strikeouts(s23=89)(3x)
89(3)=267
Starting Pitcher 4: g7,f4 : (g7=r6)orel hershiser : (f4=d6)era.01<>4.00(s6=2.26)(3x)
4.00-2.26=1.74x100=174x3=522
Starting Pitcher 5: j9,d6 : (j9=y1)gaylord perry(h) : (d6=f4)hr allowed(s4=21)(-5)
21(-5)=(-105)
(-105)+2476+267+522+(-105)=3055

Starting Pitching Total:3055

As you can see, it's good to have another pair of eyes spot check each other's work as we go along.

[MENTION=6641]Ghumbs[/MENTION]: Eddie Plank is a HOFer, so his line is 480. Your overall score is -201
[MENTION=7427]Wainwright[/MENTION]: Bert Blyleven is a HOFer. While it won't help his score now, you'll want to keep track of your HOFers at the end of the game.

Otherwise, everyone is doing well. I'll post an updated leaderboard shortly.

Here's an updated leaderboard. The numbers in red are HOFers.



If you didn't have a great start, don't lose hope. Not only is there a lot left to be scored, but the trade deadline may shake things up. In fact, the owner pairings and positions to be traded between them have already been determined and were 100% randomly generated.

I'll keep this open for most of today to give everyone a chance to catch up. However, even if I move on to a new thread, folks can always go back and enter their score for that round in that thread.

Here`s the full schedule of future rounds:

Closers
C,1B,2B
3B,SS
LF,CF,RF
Bench
Trade Deadline
Managers
Ballparks
Bonus Scoring

SP1 Livan Hernandez - WHIP 1.57 320
SP2 Tom Gordon - Walks Allowed -6
sp3 Randy Johnson - Hits Allowed -291
SP4 Rudy May - walks allowed -155
SP5 Early Wynn - Wins 465.
333 ttl points so far. Hopefully I did this right.

SP1- B5,T10- Walter Johnson HOF- 20th season Shutouts = 2*100= 200
SP2- F9,M1- R. Oswalt- 1st Season- BAA= .235= 15*10= 150
SP3- J7,K13- A.Leiter- 11th Season- WHIP= 1.48= .23*-8= -184
SP4- D7,Q14- J.Moyer- 17th season- winpct= .636= 136*3= 408
SP5- A3,V4- R.Wolf- 22nd season- era= 5.68= 168*-3= -468

TOTAL for SP = 106

Yeah I knew that. I just forgot to note it. I did multiply 0 by the HOF number of 30. Which for some reason still equaled 0 :0)

SP1 - Rick Reuschel(non-HOF) - Walks allowed(6th season)= 74x(-5)= -370
SP2 - Rube Waddell(HOF) - shut-outs(10th season)= 7x100= 700
SP3 - Don Drysdale(HOF) - K's(10th season)= 210x6= 1260
SP4 - Tim Hudson(non-HOF) - Losses(13th season)= 10x(-15)= -150
SP5 - David Wells(non-HOF) - CG(16th season) = 2x10= 20
Total Points - 1,460

thanks much cjedmonton
i had dempster the first time and then recounted and somehow ended up with newhouser, sorry about the mixup

I also messed up with dempster, got floyd bannister. Not sure how that happened. Heres the updated
Starting Pitcher 1: A8, Z1 Ryan Dempster - 26th Season - BAA = 4 * 23 = 92
Starting Pitcher 2: J10, W6 Livian Hernandez - 23rd Season - HR Allowed - 24 = 24 * -5 -= -120
Starting Pitcher 3: J2, D2 Derek Lowe - 4th Season - CG = 0
Starting Pitcher 4: B2, E4 Andy Pettite - 5th Season - ERA - 4.70 = 70 * -3 = -210
Starting Pitcher 5: B9, G8 Luis Tiant - 7th Season - Losses - 3 *-7.5 = -22.50
= -260.5

No worries, Jedi. Thanks for the correction.

I'm about to move on to the next thread. If these folks would still like to play, you can enter your starting pitcher score in this thread at anytime.

Is there a time frame to enter these in? I will be out and about until later today/tonight and can get them posted by then.

Also, what happens if your first letter doesn't have a pitcher with the last letter? I have J4 as my SP4 first code but I don't see a pitcher with a last letter of the last name of J. I may have over looked it though.

Your code for your SP4 says J10 which equates to Z5 on the Grid Livan Hernandez

No rush! So long as you catch up before the game ends in a couple of weeks. I plan to roll out a new thread every day or two.

Sorry for the delay... Tried last night and didn't enter from the iPad...

::facepalm:::benson: Thanks man....that makes perfect sense LOL!

Two more questions:

1. For innings pitched...I have 67.1x2 (non HOF). Do I do 67x2 or 671x2?
2. For ERA less than 4.00...I have 2.99. Do I take the difference from 4.00 and do 1.01 then do 101x6 (HOF)?

I hope that makes sense.

SP1: (D7, J12) D7=R3 -> Jaimie Moyer (Reg); J12=L10 -> walks allowed = 38x-5= -190
SP2: (A9, J4) A9=S9 -> Kid Nichols (HOF); J4=D10 -> ERA of 2.99; 4.00-2.99=1.01x100= 101x6= 606
SP3: (C3, R13) C3=G2 -> Jim Bunning (HOF); R13=B7 -> Completed Games 12x20= 240
SP4: (J10, S7) J10=Z5 -> Livan Hernandez (Reg); S7=G19 -> Innings Pitched 67.1x100= 671x2= 1342
SP5: (B4, U11) B4=L2 -> Rube Waddell (HOF); U11=B12 -> Completed Games 16x20= 320

-190+606+240+1342+320= 2318

I'm still not sure if I did Innings Pitched correctly so I may need to change it if not.

Nah...pretty sure it's just 2 points per inning pitched (for non-HOF) 67.1 x 2 = 134.2
