How We Layout Statis-Pro Sheets: Amazing 9th Inning Mets Debut in Milwaukee

 

The Mets 7-3 win in Milwaukee was no surprise, as we looked over their team. What was amazing was that Nestor Cortes held them to three hits in 7 innings to outduel Kodai Senga and when Garrett Mitchell threw out Lindor at the plate to end the 8th, it was 3-0 Brewers with their ace reliever Trevor Megill, a PB 2-9, coming in for the save.

Francisco Lindor greeted Megill with a double and then Francisco Álvarez and Brandon Nimmo homered and it was 3-3. The Mets ace reliever would not blow that one as Edwin Díaz then struck out the side in the bottom of the 9th, Juan Soto hit  a 3-run homer in the top of the 10th and the Mets won the opener 7-3.

I wanted to show how I lay out the Statis-Pro board when I am using the sheets available for free. I actually put the two pitchers in the game at any moment at the top of the board above the team they are facing - so the home pitcher is on the left but the visiting team's batters are below him for easy reference depending on if the PB rating is on the hitter or batter card. I also do this on the scoresheets you can see below the box scores, to more easily tally the pitcher's line after the game and add it to the box score below.

 

One thing I've added to the box scores below is the rank of any player in the top 200 players so far this season based on WAR, followed by the OPS the batter would get on averaged using his projected card. So the Mets line-up starts with Soto, who so far has been the 85th most valuable player in the majors based on WAR and his card would project a 0.946 OPS, then Pete Alonso ranks 5th so far in the actual MLB season, and Francisco Lindor ranks 113th.  While he didn't win this one in Statis-Pro, the Mets starting pitcher for the game Kodai Senga ranks 66th so far in the actual season in WAR.

Finale

33 New Statis-Pro Pitchers Cards Added to Game

We also completed checking the pitchers rosters and have added these 33 pitchers to the Statis-Pro pitchers sheets. If we added thenew pitcher card to the starting rotation, then they have a number from 1 (meaning an ace, which is what Jacob deGrom is recommended as for the Rangers in our projected cards, and Jeffrey Springs is for the Athletics.

For relievers, we just listed them in order of projected ERA.

The other thing we did on the sheets for pitchers and batters is to add a WARrnk column which lets you know if any players on the team are one of the top 200 players so far season based on WAR. Remember the cards are based on the projected stats for the season, so while Tyler Mahle is the 16th best players so far this season based on WAR, his card is only an average PB 4-7.

Statis-Pro Rosters Updated with 49 Cards of Batters not included in Debut Team Sheets

Being swamped at work just haven't had a chance to play any Statis-Pro games or post for a while, but finally had a chance today to check rosters.

Below are 49 batters on active MLB rosters for whom I did not have a Statis-Pro projected 2025 card at the start of the season on the team by team sheets of batter cards.  We have now added all the players below to their teams.

You can print out two teams from that sheet as well as the same team's pitchers on this link to play a free Statis-Pro game. We always encourage new players to use this to try out the game using dice and then look for a game on-line to purchase from someone else for the full fun of Fast Action Cards and out charts. For those who already love the game, the sheets above give a nice check list of who is on rosters if you are playing the current season, and then use the numbers on the sheet to make new cards for any missing players.

When we add cards, we are just using our standard replacement cards, and just looking up three items for each player. The position, the Speed (if they would have stolen 30 bases in a full season we score that as an "A" speed, for at least 20 steals "B", 10 steals for "C", 1 steal for a "D" and only 0 steals gets an "E" meaning he cannot steal.

The rest of the card is standard for all replacement players who do not have a card, and basically just take the players projected OPS and the sheets show the transition to the Home Run Range as indicated below with all the other results ranges the same for all players. The example above is Zach Neto whose numbers are then the third player listed below. You see he plays for the Los Angeles Angels and we put him as the No. 2 hitter in the Angels line-up, he plays shortstop, and is a Speed E, and an OPS range around 0.750 gives a new player a 27-32 home run range.

Neto is one of only 10 players whose card looked good enough to start in the Statis-Pro line-up. The other 39 new cards were added as bench players, and we list them from best OPS to worse, though Brooks Lee's outstanding batting card at shortstop is the best and would start for most teams, but not ahead of Carlos Correa for the Twins.

Braves Start Statis-pro Better Than MLB - 5-0 Sale Shutout

 The Atlanta Braves won their second actual MLB game to try to start to turn their terrible start around.

The Statis-Pro season started better as Chris Sale threw 7 scoreless innings. A less likely hero was backup Eli White, who homered after entering the game for am injured Michael Harris.

9 Slight Updates to Men's Cards and Our Bracket Falls from 99.9% to 98% with Duke Loss

In addition to the four new Women's teams added to the Value Add Basketball Game great teams from the 2025 season, we had recently added several men's teams already listed. Nine of those teams were still playing, and their team cards still good except some need their Dunk Range and Adj Dunk defensive ratings adjusted slightly until they are updated. The following are the link to those 9 teams with the slight adjustments to the cards.

The bracket we based on www.kenpom.com balance in offense and defense rose to 40,000th of 24,400,000 until Duke blew their lead on Houston late. Now even after the correct pick of Florida as champ the bracket was still only back to the 98th percentile. That's it for the college basketball focus for a while. Below is the image of the high mark for the bracket before the Duke loss.

Arizona 2025, Off 114, Def 100 , Rating -3 Caleb Love - cards are accurate as recently posted

Arkansas 2025, Off 107, Def 98 , Rating -8 Adou Thiero - cards are accurate as recently posted

Auburn 2025, Off 122, Def 101 , Rating +4 Johni Broome - rating increased to +6, dunk improved to 51-62 and defensive Adj Dunk improved to -1

BYU 2025, Off 118, Def 111 , Rating -10 Richie Saunders - cards are accurate as recently posted

Duke 2025, Off123, Def 97 , Rating +9 Cooper Flagg - rating increased to +11, dunk improved to 51-61 and defensive Adj Dunk improved to -1

Florida 2025, Off 123, Def 98 , Rating +8 Walter Clayton - rating increased to +12, dunk improved to 51-62 and defensive Adj Dunk improved to -2

Michigan State 2025, Off 111, Def 94 , Rating 0 Jaxon Kohler - rating increased to +1, dunk improved to 51-56 and defensive Adj Dunk improved to -3

Mississippi 2025, Off 111, Def 101 , Rating -7 Sean Pedulla - cards are accurate as recently posted

UConn Dominates, Added as 1 of 4 New Women's Value Add Basketball Teams

While we had switched to our Statis-Pro baseball half of the season, today's basketball women's championship  required another post ...

UConn looked every bit as dominant as the great teams over the years in two blowout wins in the Final 4 this weekend to take the schools 12th championship. It has been a while (2016) since we added a UConn Women's team to the Value Add Basketball Game, so we have calculated their cards along with three other Sweet 16 teams we are adding because their school was not yet represented in the game - Mississippi, Kansas State, and the second best 2025 team we are adding - TCU. Last year's South Carolina team is already in the game, and we usually wait at least a few years to add a new team.

Here are the cards which you can use, but they will be added to the list on the game instructions soon for easier printing.

The following are links to the 10 players from each team in the game. Our format limits us to including the 10 main players for each team to fit on the one sheet - with five starters in the top row and five players off the bench in the bottom row.

Verlander Bests Musgrove as Padres Fielding Collapses.

 Admittedly we had one eye on the UConn women looking like a potential new Value Add Basketball team as they won a Final 4 blowout, while we had see Justin Verlander look 42 years old in his real debut.

However in the Statis-pro baseball debut he enjoyed a couple of deep drives being caught in his new home park in San Francisco and ridiculous support in a 13-2 win.

The Padres Joe Musgrove had the worst luck we remember, with 3 errors committed behind him as he allowed 6 runs, all unearned.
