Create an all star game criteria based on only stats

It was mostly theoretical, but I do like your post above this one.

I don't think WAR is all that valuable but I was thinking of creating a formula similar in idea to that however less subjective.

 

WAR sucks. Both as a baseball stat and because people die horrible deaths. The later is necessary, the stat isn't.

 

well done Fordie :clap:

way to tie it all together accurately...

 

The All Star game should be abolished completely and every team should have the week off to do what they want. Community outreach with the players. Hold a mini training camp where fans and players can interact. An inter-squad exhibition game with minor league prospects. And time for players to rest before getting back to the daily grind.

If the game must exist, the fans should choose EVERY player in the game. All voting is done over one weekend, 10-days before the game. Every game ticket has a special code on it and you can vote one time for every ticket stub you saved. If you didn't attend any games for whatever reason, well, you just can't vote - don't cry about it. The fans should also vote on managers. If a player is injured, the player with the next most votes takes his place. There is no "Final Vote" because EVERYONE will be a final vote. Voting 2 weeks into the season is gay. Voting 25 times per email address is gay. Managers picking players is gay. WS managers is gay. Determining homefield advantage also gay. HR derby is gay. SF is gay. A minimum of one player from each team is ok.

If you want it to be mathematically based, then just use WAR and be done with it. It takes into consideration all the other stats. But the game should be an exhibition and if I want to see Cal Ripken play instead of the hot new stud SS, then I should be able to vote for Cal.

 

Bruins are faggy.

 

Racist.

 

Prettiest eyes at each position for hitters, nicest butts for pitchers

 

So Andre is going to be starting in the OF and be the starting pitcher, amirite? Throwing to J Mart, right?

 

These guys should be allowed to marry and raise children.

 

I'm anti-SC_Ed now but Ruven hasn't finished his molestation spree to change my name for the 46th time.

 

I have a serious problem with the managerial aspect of the ASG.I dont like how it's the previous years WS teams as manager.for instance, bochy really didnt look like hes gave a damn about winning, is its maybe bc his team sucks ass this year and hes doesnt care who has home field advantage? I'd say two weeks before the game your take your top 2 records(1 from each league) and there's your ASG managers, a week later the roster would be due

 

The managing was a total contrast between the two this year. It pissed me off!
