I think it's a great feature. It tells you when your guys are at bat, as well as your current points, and league standings. Plus you can follow all the games.

I see that my man Ellsbury has 14 points so far tonight. I was just curious - what's the highest one-game total you have seen for a position player? I remember seeing 17 from someone not too long ago.

I can remember a couple 20+ pointers through the years.

I think one may have been Fernando Tatis, the game he hit two grand slams in one inning.

Aubrey Huff and Corey Hart each had 3 homer games

Actually there has been a handful of 3 homer games. Beltran did too, and think there were others.

But the points are determined by how many were on base when they got those homers.
Mark Whiten, Mike Cameron, Shawn Green, Carlos Delgado all had FOUR homer games in the fantasy baseball era. Of course, I remember when Colavito did it in 1959!

Against Baltimore in Baltimore!

Assuming TFIR is using the same ole point system I'm used to, did a quick search of biggest offensive games this year ...

Huff had 22 points on June 2 at St.Louis.

Hart had 22 on May 23 against the Nats

Giambi had 22 May 19 at Philly

Beltran had 21 May 21 at Colorado

Chris Heisey had 21 on June 22 at home against Yanks

Melky Cabrera had 20 on 7/3 at Colorado

And Carlos Quintin had 20 May 24 at Texas

If you guys are using a different scoring system than I'm used to then I apologize, but point is I don't think it is all that crazy uncommon to see an offensive guy get 20. I remember seeing some through the years.

When I did the search this site popped up ...

You can use the drop box to go to past years.

Choo had a 23 point game last year. Mid September against the Royals. And a 22 point night in '09

He was on my team last year, but I don't remember that. Guess I wasn't paying all that much attention by then.

I wonder if anyone has ever scored 30 points.

HB - we still use the same old Sandbox style scoring for hitters that you are used to - with one change since then.

Now we subtract only .5 for a batter strikeout instead of -1, like we used to. Therefore, the totals you gave would be either correct or a tad low.

I told you azzoo, Bautista is this year's Pujols. Even better, with 3B and OF eligibility.

Not sure I doubted you on that one.. just didn't want to give up Josh Johnson ( I believe). Wasn't that a mistake! ugh... Although the Zobriest trade did work out well.

Gonna be a tight race down the stretch..

Oh yeah, it's all good. Zobrist turned out very well for sure.

I am just in awe of Bautista's (and I even wrote that post before today's game) numbers. They are almost Bonds-ish.

Between the homers, walks, .OBA, batting average.....unreal. Add to it his ability to play multiple positions, just wow!

Toronto signing him to a 5 year extension before this season (wish I could do that) is now looking like a stroke of genius.

Now we subtract only .5 for a batter strikeout instead of -1, like we used to.

And next year, NO deduction for Ks, right?
