No way. I might as well just send you the money

Besides, we can't gamble on this through the site.

Hunter Pence used to be (still is?) on a diet nicknamed the Caveman diet. It includes a lot of kale from what I've read.

Hence the name of my team.

So, all y'all having fun yet?

Yeesh, the scoring system is screwy.

It's seems screwy when you're new to it, but it'll make sense before too long.

Ok, help me make sense of week 3, please.

It was me vs you last week. I won Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri, & Sat.

You won Thu and tied me on Sunday, yet for the week it shows we tied, 6 - 6

The same thing happened last week when I beat Hank more days than he beat me, yet I was on the losing end for the whole week.

There are no wins until the end of the week. The score you see during the week shows how many of the 12 categories each player is leading in.

Each category (hits, home runs, walks, strikeouts, era, etc...) is a game. At the end of the week all the stats accumulated during the week in each category are added up and whoever has the most (or least, in the case of errors, ERA and WHIP) wins that category, or "game".

Thanks, Steve.

I clicked on the "Scoring & Settings" link but there was no explanation like you just provided. Not only does that make sense, but now I understand why the scores for people resemble a win-loss-tie format.

Understanding better how points are earned, helps us to better evaluate who to choose.

Are there any categories that count against the points we accrue? Like error on batters or walks for pitchers?

Errors are strictly a defensive statistic. Walks are part of a pitcher's WHIP (average number of Walks & Hits per Inning Pitched).

I'm familiar with the WHIP stat.

Lemme rephrase my question. Is there a stat that lowers (detracts from) the points accrued on a given day?
