David, you're count is fine for someone who uses BA as primary indication of a player, now an OBP breakdown would look like this

Posted by crash davis (aka crash davis) Feb 10 '11, 13:23

5) Elimination Win, most important
4) Elimination Top Three, second most important
3) Solo Quickfire Win, third
2) Team Quickfire Win, yes they count
1) Quickfire top three, final positive Stat

and

-2) Elimination bottom three

Its become real obvious that quickfires are nice, but other than perhaps giving an advantage in the elimination challenge, they really have no bearing.

Angelo has two elimination wins, four elimination top three finishes, one elimination bottom three, and one quickfire top three. That is 10+16-2+1 for a total of 25

Dale has two elimination wins, two elimination top threes, two elimination bottom threes, two solo quickfires, and one team quickfire for a total of 22

Richard has two elimination wins, two elimination top threes, one elimination bottom three, one solo quickfire win, two team quickfire wins, and one quickfire top three for a score of 24

Carla has three elimination wins, two elimination top 3s, one elimination bottom three, and one quickfire top three for a score of 22

I can not explain how disappointed I am on the IM of this post. - musubi Feb 10, 13:24 9
- I think you should be proud of me, I'm expanding sabermetrics to other endeavors -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:27 8
  - That post has as much to do with Sabermetrics as this post does to Cross Country Skiing. (nm) - musubi Feb 10, 13:29 7
    - But he is scrambling his logic to a degree that should make you proud. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:33 5
      - In the sense that he's aspiring to meet your standards in the field, sure. (nm) - musubi Feb 10, 13:35 4

        Neftali, won't you be mine? - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:38 2
        
        The other day, a Braves fan who had specifically told me that I would love the Tex trade the rest of my life... - David Feb 10, 13:39 1
        
        to be fair, he only said *you* would love it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 13:43
    - well, I do see a snowfield on your IM -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:31
How long did it take you to come up with a formula where you could cover up your initial mistake? - David Feb 10, 13:24 7
- Actually, Isaac Mizrahi was the one who pointed out the meaningless of quickfires. My initial post to you indicated I don't count them -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:25 4
  - Isn't that the fashion guy? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:26 3
    - He was a recent guest judge on Top Chef and... - David Feb 10, 13:29 1
      - it was all on how the food looked, they didn't taste a dang thing -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:30
    - yes -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:26
- I bet he hasn't even gotten boobs yet. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:24 1
  - He hasn't and in fact, I'm going to find a random post of his and drill him with a FOAKY. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:25
uh, your count, not "you're count" -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:24
Are you really trying to sabremetric Top Chef? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:24 13
- It was that or admit he misread the very chart he linked. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:24 11
  - now you should just admit you misread my post, I told you Dale is slipping and I excluded quickfires -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:26 10
    - Okay, I'll play along. - David Feb 10, 13:28 9
      - either when you excluded two team quickfire wins Richard has, or when you thought that Dales two solo quickfires were more impressive than Carla's - crash davis Feb 10, 13:30 8
        
        Neither of which happened as the next post's math demonstrated. - David Feb 10, 13:32 7
        
        no, I meant you aren't counting Richard's two team quickfire wins, and you were not giving proper credit for top threes and so -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:39 6
        
        You mean the partial credit wins, one of which he shared with Dale? - David Feb 10, 13:44 5
        
        and I properly credited both Richard and Dale, which your system hasn't -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:47 3
        
        If anything, I should take a win away from Richard for winning once without any food being tasted. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:49 2
        
        or just admit that quickfires are not nearly as important as eliminations, and embrace the crude beginnings of Top Chef sabermetrics -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:51 1
        
        Paraphrasing Mr. Ed's theme, a dish is a dish. - David Feb 10, 13:55
        
        Someone remind me in 45 that I need to give Crash another FOAKY. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:45
- why the eff not -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:24
