Man, I'm the only one that hasn't ticked a single 8-13 number. #thanksobama

 

Never a problem, always let me know if there is a mistake, but I did have 15 ticked for Cincy. 14 & 15s are ticked in yellow because they are not part of the main game.

 

but you have 14!

 

gotcha sorry
i was looking under cincys column and i thought it said a 5. my mistake if i misread it

 

I'll trade the 14 for something useful! Anyone? Bueller?

 

Dude... that's crazy. I'm proud of them for even getting this close! Maybe they'll put up the 13 on Greinke Thursday to ice it

 

That'd teach me for not sticking with them at the half.... Det is in the 3 tick club so at least they aren't doing horribly.

 

Nice!! My buccos got shutout tonight. Needed that 0

 

My LIF Cycle box should be going out tomorrow for @Dicers

 

Toronto joined the 1 tick club last night. This season is Starting to get interesting. NYY, NYM, Houston, Toronto, and SF are all starting to heat up. Should be an entertaining last 2 months.

 

Beer pron!! .... Huge thank you to @American_Hawk .... Killed it! That Congress Street is going right in the fridge for tonight to celebrate National IPA Day.

 

You're welcome -- hope you enjoy! Not knowing what you like, I tried to give you a good mix of things I like.

 

If somehow the season ends without another winner, how does that work? I have a couple ideas if anyone is interested in hearing them, but I wasn't sure if there was already something definite. @Syracuse12?

 

Lets hear em!

 

Well, since half the group has shipped and the other half has not (I'm in the 'not shipped' group, so no bias), it strikes me as somewhat unfair for those that haven't shipped not to at all. Which means we need some sort of "tiebreak" scenario.

Personally, I think the most logical thing to do is to go by whichever of those teams would have needed the lowest remaining score to win; so if (as an example) the 1-tick club has four teams, needing 9, 11, and 12 twice, the one needing 9 would win.

Another idea I had was to include the playoffs for any possible chance at a team hitting then; that does preclude the majority of teams from having a chance, but then again this is sports, so I don't see it as too uncalled for that the better teams be given more chance to win, given that this is a tiebreak scenario anyway.

If that strikes anyone as too unfair, we instead could use the preseason scores, and see if including those would net a team (or teams) the win; at least in that case all teams play in preseason.

If exhibition doesn't seem right since the games don't count, we instead could go backwards from the start of this round, and the team needing the fewest "historic" days prior to the round's start to hit all of 0-13 wins.

FWIW, I've not done any research on what using historic data (preseason or going backward from 6/25) would do for different teams, these are just ideas off the top of my head.

 

There is no tiebreaker that I know of. I think the best tiebreaker is lowest score remaining, but I don't think we are going to need it. Remember two people don't ship at all.

 

It will hit again

 

I agree with you both that it most likely will hit again, but I think it's always best to be prepared in case it does not (it's no secret I'm overly analytical). And yes, I know two people don't ship, but that was built in at the start; 16 not shipping was not.

In case lowest score remaining somehow still leaves a tie, how about a 2nd tiebreak? Again, I doubt it'd be needed, but just so that it's known ahead of time.

 

If/ when someone hits. What's next? Doubtful another team would hit 1-13.
