Who can Draft a pitching staff with the lowest ERA? (AL East Edition)

[@Joe-mv3xt]

to make it fair i think that if a guy messes up a pick by naming a year on the wrong team, they don't get that round pick back until the very end. so like when jolly messed up sale, instead of it working out for him as accidental defense, he gets penalized for messing up a pick. love this series btw!

[@nickpartynski6663]

thats a fair rule

[@harrisonbaylor1432]

At least make it to where they aren’t allowed to pick that player but the other guys can or they aren’t allowed to pick a player from that team till the other guys have.

[@kicking222]

Great idea.

[@derekdaniels1483]

Yeah can’t believe they never created a penalty for a pick that doesn’t work. I agree with it being a skip and then makeup at the end.

[@dfp_01]

I feel like they have enough guesses of the right team in the wrong year that it balances itself out. I don't know though, it does feel a little weird

[@atigersgrin]

Scoring Idea - Each team starts with 1458 (9 * 162) innings to try to fill. Any innings not used are filled by league average.

[@holdenosbeck2421]

I really like that idea, will have to add more bullpen guys, but not too many so it forces them to take multi inning relievers not just closers.

[@hohf85]

This was a great one. Ryan’s bullpen was electric

[@wisyanksfangaming3434]

No one else is saying it so I will; nobody drafting Mariano is indeed insane

[@620awg]

I honestly thought that they agreed to not take him and i missed it at the beginning of the video. Seemed too obvious for no one to pick 😂

[@dfp_01]

You don't even really have to know a year for him, you can pretty much just take any of them and run with it.

[@laserred87]

Mo was worse than every reliever on Ryan's team. And jolly took dellin who had a better year than Mo as well he just took the wrong year. The only one who should of probably took him was Jake instead of taking Chad green

I love these drafts, some of my favorite videos. I particularly like this ERA mix of runs and innings. I'd vote for shaking up batter drafts with like steals and put outs or something. Spice up the normal one stat for extra thinking and weighing when drafting. Get some defensive stats in the spot light

[@tayloroleary8880]

I know what he meant, but Jolly essentially calling Pedro and Smoltz "innings eaters" right at the start of this video got me on the back foot.

[@theslotwhisperer5513]

Jolly vs. Jake vs. Ryan?! A true MVP showdown!

[@Dune24]

As someone who plays fantasy baseball head to head category style with ERA as a category, they do what I imagine is a very similar call to talk to balance a starter who let up 2 runs with a reliever who let up none over 1 inning. So I have no problem with this!

[@bgmich9098]

Also tracking innings pitched and earned runs is kinda weird seeing as how that's how ERA is calculated. Seeing as how you have a minimum innings for starters I don't think that should factor into the winner, but you guys do you

[@kasinocontroller]

You can't just use a 20IP ERA and value it the same as a 230IP ERA. Thats why you need to use the fundamental parts of ERA here to account for Innings Pitched

[@ASG-nm4cz]

@@kasinocontroller But the current system makes relievers almost pointless. They combine to less than one starter.

[@Sashabug-gd2uk]

@@ASG-nm4cz except that Ryan literally won because of his relief pitchers? so it's definitely not pointless.

[@ASG-nm4cz]

@@Sashabug-gd2uk He won by .17 because Jake picked Jensen. As I said, all of the RPs combined add up to a 6th starter. That's how little impact they have.

[@jimharper2180]

Happy 24th to a certified knower of ball! 🎉🥳🎂

[@RikipediaGO]

Curious how you handle seasons split between the rotation and bullpen. Would 2002 Tim Wakefield (15 GS and 30 out of the pen) be useable in either slot? His 2.81 ERA in 163.1 IP isn't eye-popping, but seems like it could be quite valuable under certain circumstances

[@queenautumnween2796]

What I would assume is that they would make you choose either the starter or reliever innings? It would be too unfair if you put a 163 innings pitcher as a reliever. Baseball reference has stats for pitching splits as a start and reliever. His ERA (2.39) was better as a starter than a reliever but it's only 98 innings. His ERA (3.44) isn't the best for this kind of draft with 65 innings pitched.

[@covithompkinscardz]

[@charliehelgeson22]

[@williamsprague6495]

For this formula you could do innings pitched/ERA as the score then highest score wins. That way a lot of innings with a higher ERA is worth similar to fewer innings with a low era. Ex 120 innings with a 2 ERA is 60 pts but 180 innings with a 3 ERA is also 60 pts

[@JasperOShaughnessy]

[@tayloroleary8880]

I'm here to show BJ Ryan some love. Jolly out here slandering him and the Blue Jays for having "no good relievers". 2006 BJ Ryan would have been the best reliver he picked. But, he was also surprised when he picked the greatest single season a pitcher's had in the modern era, so, I guess it makes sense.

[@MrThewhateverchannel]

love these but I think Jolly messing up the Sale year should be some form of penalty. Not necessarily a zero, but he basically got Sale off the board and could default to Pedro in 2000. Not on purpose, I know. but it still should not benefit you in some way to be wrong.

[@DiscGolfDom23]

While also completely ignoring the respective run environments of the time. For example, that 2000 Pedro Martinez season is absolutely insane. Pitching in Fenway, in a high scoring AL East during the steroid era. I dunno, I feel like there's a better way to calculate this.
