Santana is running away with both the Player and Pitcher of The Month award!
|
| DocTee Mar 31 2008 06:54 PM |

I gave some love to Schneider for a few reasons. His handling of Santana and his hustle down the line, preventing a wild throw from careening into the Marlins dugout, thereby saving a base and setting an early example of what I hope will be a season-long gritty attitude. (Wow, that's a run-on sentnece, but I can't help it I all hopped up over our win, I feel like Kramer when he wins free lattes for life, and...)

Sosa's strikeout was big. I gave him a half point.

Pagan's lidlifter RBI 2B underschaefered thus far. Give the man his beer.
|
| KC Mar 31 2008 07:21 PM |
|
You're right, I totally mailed in my first game.
|
| metsguyinmichigan Mar 31 2008 07:50 PM |
|
I think what Santana did was huge because of the day. We expect stellar performances from him and I probably wouldn't give 5 points for a game like this in July.
|
| themetfairy Mar 31 2008 08:02 PM |
|
I disagree. I'd give five points to a dominant 7-inning start later in the season. Maybe even 6, depending on the other performances.

My apologies for starting the thread for yesterday's game. I wasn't sure if I was coming back to CPF anytime soon, but now realize I have more time to enter my votes.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 01 2008 06:37 AM |
|
|
No need to apologize. The practice around here is the first one who has a chance to start the thread once the game ends should start the thread, so the voting can commence.
|
| themetfairy Apr 01 2008 07:01 AM |

It's helpful if that starting post has a link to the game's box score.

Which is amazing considering he has the highest ERA of the whole staff.

With 22 votes, the Mets Monday opener is probably fully voted, but the thread will remain open until early Thursday morning.

what was the schneider play in game 1? i must've missed it when i got up for beer, or unwiseley opted to purchase stadium nachos (they were stale. they're always stale. i know they're always stale. yet i bought them anyways. why!?)
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 02 2008 11:34 AM |
|
He ran along the line backing up the play on what was a bad throw to first by Castillo (I think?) diving to save the ball from going into the dugout and giving the runner an xtra base. Neat hustle play.
|
| m.e.t.b.o.t. Apr 02 2008 11:39 AM |

m.e.t.b.o.t. also did not see the play in question.
|
| metsmarathon Apr 02 2008 11:41 AM |

what inning was that? not that it'll affect my voting much (if at all) i'm just curious, as it wasn't mentioned in the igt.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 02 2008 12:35 PM |
|
I don't remember. One thing that was funny was that it sort of happened "off-camera" -- not much in baseball does anymore, but it was to a weird spot and the director/cameramen obviously weren't expecting it.
|

I gave Figueroa his 1/4 point for being called up in the morning, then showing up to pitch effectively in the game.

does beltran get any credit for the home run that was wrongfully taken away from him by the umpires?
|
| themetfairy Apr 04 2008 11:49 AM |
|
Most days they'd get more recognition. But on a day that the starter throws 7 shutout innings and there's offense aplenty, nobody is going to get his fair share of beer.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 04 2008 12:21 PM |

I believe FK remarked that was a bad send for Alomar Sr. -- first of many if last year is any indication. By the way, not to deliberately court controversy here, but I guarantee Wright wins yet another SPOY if the voters continue to overschaefer him at the expense of thirstier mates the rest of the year.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 04 2008 12:27 PM |
|
Yeah, David has to be the odds-on favorite to get a fourth consecutive win.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 04 2008 12:32 PM |
|
And my remark was not to suggest he won;t deserve one when its all over. Just that he seems to absorb more glory for similar and/or arguably inferior accomplishments than his teammates so far this season.
|
| metirish Apr 04 2008 12:34 PM |
|
Maybe Beltran will have a monster year and beat Wright out, that of course would be great for the team.(assuming Wright has a great year)
|
| themetfairy Apr 04 2008 01:05 PM |
|
We should have such things to worry about ;)
|
| AG/DC Apr 04 2008 01:11 PM |
|
|
If 2006 is any indication, having a monster year will not Wright-proof your Schaefer.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 04 2008 01:16 PM |
|
In 2006, it was Beltran's idleness for the last two weeks or so that let David get by him.
|
| AG/DC Apr 04 2008 01:19 PM |
|
Balderdash.

Agreed. Quantity is due to consistency.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 04 2008 01:41 PM |
|
On September 23 Beltran was ahead of Wright.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 04 2008 01:48 PM |
|
I don't remember specifically but I would think that Beltran's lead on Wright may have been too slim going into the last week, based on my suspicion that Wright for whatever reason tends to mop up credit with a bigger sponge than his teammates.
|
| metirish Apr 04 2008 01:49 PM |
|
2006 was a great year , hopefully this September Beltran won't have to sit out a week and can fight Wright all the way....
|
| AG/DC Apr 04 2008 01:53 PM |

Sorry, I'm really trying to save time in my life by making one-word arguments.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 04 2008 02:02 PM |
|
Oh, I know Beltran had the superior year, and deserved the Schaefer award that year. I'm not disputing that.
|
| AG/DC Apr 04 2008 02:11 PM |
|
Well, if I was Jim Backus, a one-word argument would have been sufficient.
|

Are you referring to Thurston Howell, or Mister Magoo?

Mostly Howell, but even moreso Tyler Fitzgerald.

Is there a specific number of total points that should be given out in Mets losses? I notice that people are giving out anywhere between four and six points depending on what I am not sure.
|
| metirish Apr 07 2008 06:45 AM |
|
No there is not, it's at your discretion.
|
| Triple Dee Apr 07 2008 06:55 AM |

No, I think that just reflects the general antipathy directed at the team.

my schaeffering is upside down from everybody else! i'm giving almost 4 beers to delgado, and only a single beer to perez!
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 09 2008 12:52 PM |
|
I figure Delgado's error did more harm than the benefit provided by his home run, but I didn't think he deserved a zero. So I gave him a half point.
|
| metsmarathon Apr 09 2008 01:07 PM |
|
yeah, if perez is left in to finish the 6th, and gets a nice, easy, uneventful ground ball out, he leaves the game with a health 4 beers, and knocks delgado down to 3 beers. his thirstiness, then, falls on willie's head, presuming oliver would've gotten that lone uneventful out, of course.

I figure you're either referring to the comments by *62, which are okay, since they're within the same post that contains the votes and they don't contain any numeric characters, or to Johnny Lunchbucket awarding 10.2 points. I won't "yell" over that one either; my magic spreadsheet will automatically pro-rate the points.

As I said above, it's okay to post a comment along with your vote. (It's also mentioned in the guidelines.) I just don't want non-vote posts in the thread. (At least not until after the voting has closed.)

Soso will probably set a new record for most refreshment per pitch today.
|
| *62 Apr 11 2008 07:59 AM |

How can a starter, in this day and age, not get a minimum of three or four 'points' for a "quality start"?
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 11 2008 08:06 AM |
|
When a game runs into extra innings, the points tend to get pinched. I would have normally given Maine a 4 for his effort, but so many relievers also made important contributions that some of their rewards had to come at Maine's expense.
|
| Triple Dee Apr 11 2008 08:07 AM |
|
While I agree with you, in principle, in last night's win 4-5 different personnel made key contributions. However, the people who gave Maine < 2 should go shoot themselves!
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 11 2008 08:11 AM |
|
bang.
|
| *62 Apr 11 2008 08:56 AM |
|
No, I get it ... I'd have ordinarily given him at least five if the game had ended 3-1 in nine .....
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 11 2008 09:02 AM |
|
I try to always reward a reliever who pitches a scoreless inning in a tie game.
|
| Rockin' Doc Apr 13 2008 07:44 AM |
|
It seems that Wright is receiving a lot of love and beer for someone that committed two errors in the game. Such miscues, whether they directly lead to runs or not, make the pitcher have to throw more pitches and work harder to make up for the lost outs. Granted he did drive in two of the Mets three runs (solo HR and sac fly), but how many additional pitches did Santana have to throw due to his errors? He also stranded more men on base than any other Mets hitter. Maybe I'm being a little too hard on Wright, but I'm curious how others view such a game.
|
| *62 Apr 13 2008 08:12 AM |
|
I agree 100%; and Johan pitched well enough to earn more than most people are giving credit for, IMO.
|
| Gwreck Apr 13 2008 04:09 PM |
|
I don't think so. If you can't pitch a "quality start," you can't get more than 2 points.
|
| *62 Apr 13 2008 04:31 PM |
|
He had two earned runs through six .... he should have never been trotted out for the seventh, IMO, already near 100 pitches, no velocity, and not anywhere near his best stuff.

| m.e.t.b.o.t. Apr 16 2008 07:47 AM |

m.e.t.b.o.t. has uncovered a potential flaw in the core algorithm m.e.t.b.o.t. utilizes to calculate schaefer points, as it pertains to the new york metropolitan loss on 13 april. in the win expectancy data presented on www.fangraphs.com, the sole responsibility of a double play is laid upon the feet of the batter. metropolitan second baseman luis castillo is held responsible for the entire decrease in win expectancy (-0.287) while brady clark receives none, despite the fact that clark was not forced into a double play.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 16 2008 08:01 AM |

If m.e.t.b.o.t. is thinking of amending its April 13 Schaefer voting, it had better do so very quickly, as the thread is due to be closed at my first opportunity this morning.

Perhaps. I still think of the former NL East teams as real rivals. I hate losing to the stupid Cubs and the stupid Pirates.

Aside from the starting pitching, which was steady, what was there to get excited about? ARGH.

In the 4/23 win over the Nationals, Church should get some love for that great run-saving catch he made (in addition to his offense). If he missed that ball, the whole complexion of the game would have changed dramatically.
|
| themetfairy Apr 24 2008 08:39 PM |
|
If it wouldn't violate CPF rules and lots of laws, I'd give all of the Schaefer tonight to Junya Yokoyama. Sure, he's only 12, but the kid gave up one run in four innings and hit two 3-run home runs tonight.

I went back and added some beer for Church's throw. If he doesn't make that perfect you know they go on to score a half-dozen that inning, so do the right thing. Most of you could probably "afford" it by subracting from Santana, who despite allowing just 2 runs blew a lead, didn't have a single clean inning and made the bullpen work extra hard.

re: 5/5-5/6 voting -- I don't see where Figueroa gets Schaefer Tuesday and Perez not on Monday. Here are the lines:
|
| Benjamin Grimm May 07 2008 08:24 AM |

I gave a point to Perez for going 6 innings. (My policy is to always give something to a pitcher who goes 6.)
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket May 07 2008 08:27 AM |

You're the exception. I'd like to hear from those who can argue Figgy is deserving where Perez was not.

Churchie is coming up short this morning. He may have fallen down on the job, but he got six of the Mets' 15 total bases.

Now that both games have been tallied, Perez has earned 0.41 points for his start, while Figueroa earned 0.20 for his. So Perez ended up outscoring Figueroa, which seems correct to me.

For purposes of Schaefer voting in the Mets/MFY Sunday night game, I'm treating Delgado as if the umps got the call right on the 3-run homer.

A team that scores 13 runs is going to win 88.2% of the time. A team that gives up two is going to win 84.2% of the time. I dould have given the pitchers more than the three poings, but I'm OK with my vote.

I'm not saying the Mets win the game, but Beltran misplaying Kelly Johnson's hit into a double in the seventh negated his home run for me.
|
| Benjamin Grimm May 23 2008 10:29 AM |
|
I gave Beltran and Delgado equal points, but Beltran would have had more (the extra hit and the stolen base) if not for the misplay in center field.

Why are peeps giving Wags more beer than Sanchez for the Tuesday 5/27 game?
|
| Frayed Knot May 27 2008 08:37 PM |
|
Perfect 9th vs a lead-off double 8th
|
| TransMonk May 27 2008 08:38 PM |
|
|
1. Wags didn't allow a leadoff double. 2. Wags had 2 Ks to Duaner's 1 3. I feel our system undervalues him and I believe he deserves a little more recognition for being one of the better players on this mediocre team. The top of this page shows him earning a little more beer than Luis Castillo and a little less than Nelson Figueroa this month, which is bullshit...and that was before he blew the save. If peeps are going to give middle relievers points in losses where they did little to effect the outcome of the game, other than not put the final score more in the favor of the opposition, than I have no problem giving Wags 2 points when he does his job emphatically in a win (which is the only time he can possibly earn points anyway).
|
| Elster88 May 27 2008 08:47 PM |
|
I can see the one double to no hits argument. I don't agree that K's are more valuable than other outs, provided no runners are scored or advanced. I definitely don't agree with changing your vote because of what someone else votes.
|
| themetfairy May 27 2008 08:51 PM |
|
|
I agree with Elster. Duaner working himself out of the jam made his scoreless inning as valuable as Wagner's scoreless inning in my book. And I believe that middle relievers who keep the team in the game deserve some suds for the effort.
|
| Frayed Knot May 27 2008 08:54 PM |
|
Shouldn't get extra credit for working out of a jam that you yourself created.
|
| themetfairy May 27 2008 09:01 PM |
|
|
It wasn't extra credit. I valued Duaner's scoreless 8th equally with Wagner's scoreless 9th. Each scoreless inning was equally valuable in my evaluation.
|
| Frayed Knot May 27 2008 09:11 PM |
|
You implied otherwise:

That's what makes the democratic process work. And isn't that what Schaefer is all about? If not, just tell me who the player of the game is and I'll stop voting. I wasn't trying to be a dick about it...not like if I gave him 6 points.
|
| Gwreck May 27 2008 09:21 PM |
|
The bigger mystery to me in the 5/27 game is how a couple of voters thought that Tatis was 2 or 1.2 points more valuable than Castro.
|
| Elster88 May 27 2008 09:23 PM |
|
I took away .5 from Castro for not blocking just ONE of the wild pitches from Santana. Tatis has 3 two out RBI.
|
| Gwreck May 27 2008 09:26 PM |
|
Tatis and Castro both had 2 2-out RBI.
|
| Elster88 May 27 2008 09:30 PM |
|
Well done. I will adjust.
|
| themetfairy May 28 2008 06:03 AM |
|
|
What about "as valuable" implies otherwise? If he hadn't worked out of the jam, he wouldn't have gotten suds from me. But the one runner was stranded, and I gave both pitchers the same number of points for their scoreless innings.
|

You're not being a dick. Some of us are just debating voting criteria. It's all good. Please don't stop voting!
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket May 28 2008 07:51 AM |
|
|
That was me, I guess. I gave Tats a big bonus for the 1st inning Icebreaker. I know there was already 1 run in, but his was a sexy 2-out drive that made Castro's sexiness possible. He also got credit for taking one for the team, singling to drive in the 4th run, and stealing a base. If we were naming only a single POTG from the lineup it would be Tatis.
|
| Gwreck May 28 2008 08:07 AM |
|
Fair enough. Really, I was just curious, if it was a win expectancy thing or some other formula for awarding the points.
|
| seawolf17 May 28 2008 08:34 AM |
|
I gave Tatis an extra nudge point for the faux HBP, which led to the insurance run.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket May 28 2008 08:38 AM |
|
I'd like to hear from those who valued Castro above Tatis.

| AG/DC May 28 2008 08:44 AM |

Castro had a walk, and he caught. I usually throw one point to the catchers for every 19 I throw the pitchers.

|
| Gwreck May 28 2008 09:18 PM |

I know that in extra inning games the awarding of points can be tough, but Perez gets more points than one voter gave to Heilman, Schoeneweis and Wagner combined?
|
| AG/DC May 28 2008 09:23 PM |
|
Reyes is also consistently getting fewer points than Castillo. I'd like to hear about that.
|
| Gwreck May 28 2008 09:29 PM |

Both were 2-5 with a homer and a walk; Castillo's 2-run homer might've given him a slight edge.

Voting has been pretty light on the games since last weekend so if you're a regular or even occasional participant don't let those games fade from your memory.

I plan on playing catch up tonight. I generally vote based on boxscores, highlight clips, and IGTs since I seldom get to actually watch the Mets play.

I think Maine got too many points for his 5 innings on Monday. Shutout or not, I don't think only going 5 innings is worth much more than 2 points.
|
| themetfairy Aug 21 2008 06:11 AM |
|
It's not as if anyone else did anything particularly beer-worthy in the Maine game.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Aug 27 2008 01:19 PM |
|
Sorry to have flooded the forum with Schaefer, but I'm pretty much caught up now.
|
| Centerfield Aug 27 2008 09:04 PM |
|
Tonight's game really should be worth 20 points.

We're now at eight voters for Tuesday's loss to the Phillies, which is a more reasonable number.

Voting for Wednesday night's win in Philadelphia will close some time over the weekend:

In scoring last night's game, let's remember please remember to consider Dan Murphy's win preserving cutoff play in the ninth on Cantu's double.
|
| AG/DC Aug 31 2008 03:16 PM |
|
Evans is getting hosed so far.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Aug 31 2008 04:11 PM |
|
Pedro too.
|
| AG/DC Aug 31 2008 04:41 PM |
|
it was a team win, perhaps one of their teamiest, but Pedro is disproportinately kicking Evans butt.

If Al Reyes should happen to get into the game and earn some Schaefer, please vote for him as AlReyes.

Look after Schneider! He looked after you!
|
| Gwreck Sep 05 2008 12:30 PM |
|
|
Interesting philosophical question. Do we adjust Schaefer for luck? Church clearly was getting the love for the 'slam, but Schneider was 2-for-3 (with the same number of homers as Church) while Church was only 1-4.
|
| AG/DC Sep 05 2008 12:33 PM |
|
Well, the extra Ribbies count at one level or another for Churchie, be they luck or pluck, but he also made four murderous outs to one for the Schneid.
|

It's a tough game to score. Not enough beer to go around.
|
| AG/DC Sep 05 2008 12:53 PM |
|
Fractions baby. Infinitely divisible fractions.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Sep 05 2008 01:08 PM |
|
Well, fractions are infinitely divisible, but as a practical matter, anything beyond the second decimal point will end up getting ignored because of rounding. Schaefer is a two-decimal stat.

I just wanted to keep this on the current page.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Sep 10 2008 09:17 AM |
|
These games actually should have closed today, but I neglected (forgot) to post a reminder yesterday.
|
| Rockin' Doc Sep 10 2008 10:55 AM |
|
I try to get to the voting booth this evening. I would hate to deprive a deserving soul of their hard earned beer.

Ahem.
Sir, We ask that you refrain from making 'comments' in the POTG threads. Thank you.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Sep 10 2008 11:14 AM |
|
Actually, that's within the rules!
|
| soupcan Sep 10 2008 11:17 AM |
|
My apologies, I stand corrected.
|
| Rockin' Doc Sep 10 2008 06:06 PM |
|
Damn, I had thought that all comments and commentary were taboo.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Sep 10 2008 07:02 PM |
|
I just don't want conversation. The only posts should be the ones that contain votes. (At least, until after the game is tallied.)

Voting for the first of the two slugfests against the Nationals at Shea, Tuesday night's 10-8 win, will close on Friday morning.

I went ahead and voted for all the Braves games because I want to put them behind me and bury their memory as quickly as possible.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Sep 16 2008 07:01 AM |
|
Vote totals for the weekend's series against the Braves are understandably low. I can understand the waning enthusiasm for this stuff, but hopefully the Mets will revive over the next couple of weeks, and we'll also see a revival of Schaefer participation.

Someone should have told me to change the link for last night's box score.
|
| Gwreck Sep 21 2008 09:09 AM |
|
4 points for Pedro for the 9/20 game? What am I missing?
|
| Frayed Knot Sep 21 2008 09:10 AM |
|
That he knocked in all our runs.
|
| Gwreck Sep 21 2008 10:22 AM |
|
Nobody gets 4 points for a 2-rbi double.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Sep 21 2008 10:23 AM |
|
He also pitched 6 innings. I always give points for a guy who goes 6.
|
| themetfairy Sep 21 2008 11:15 AM |

Like Grimm said, he pitched six innings and knocked in the Mets' only two RBIs. And it's not like anyone else did anything to earn much beer (it wasn't one of those nights when there wasn't enough beer to go around). On a different topic, I'll be at a block party this afternoon. So anyone who wants to start a Schaefer thread after the game should feel free to do so (otherwise I'll start one early this evening).

The Schaefer Mets Player of the Year competition, by the way, is rather fierce this year. With only a few days to go, there are four players who have a decent shot at taking the prize.

I'd like to vote in the remaining unclosed games. I like to vote in clusters
|
| Benjamin Grimm Sep 27 2008 07:03 PM |
|
All of the games vs. the Marlins will be open until Wednesday.
|
| Gwreck Sep 27 2008 07:32 PM |
|
I second KC's thoughts. I need more time to take care of voting. It's not that I don't want to; it's that I don't want to do so carelessly. I would've voted on Tuesday's game -- it just closed too early.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Sep 27 2008 08:11 PM |
|
Every game has two full "business days" elapse before it closes.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Sep 29 2008 09:15 AM |

Only five voters so far for Thursday night's nice win over the Cubs. (themetfairy, AG/DC, Benjamin Grimm, Elster88, Rockin' Doc)

Voting for the final three games of the season, all from this past weekend against the Marlins at William A. Shea Municipal Stadium, will close on Wednesday.
I have no idea what "Gabba Gabba" means, by the way. I don't suppose it matters.
