Brian Perry should be banned from stat-taking

He needs to focus more on the stats, and less on the cheers.

2 drops?  What the shit?  Are we counting all touches on the disc drops again, regardless of how catchble they are?  Proulx had 3  drops in last night's game, and has only had one other all season?

SHENANIGANS! i have witnessed more.

I think there is a conspiracy going on here to keep me off the D Leaderboard and put me back on top of the drop board.

Based on what you're saying, seems to me that you're on top of the D Leaderboard.  Just the wrong D.

All discs are catchable!

To Be fair,

Keates missed my epic footblock on Craig this week, so he’s helping to keep you in the running for the D leaderboard.*  (Probably sharing a laugh with that Haig guy, though over what, who knows)

So.  Consolation?

1. Stats are guaranteed to be 95% * accurate or your Parity money back.

2. You are still banned from chirping stats keepers until you stat keep!

* probably

EDIT: also, we got the footblock. If we missed a D, it was on a tightly contested throw we called a drop, or some other tip we didn't see.

"Keates (and Jon)"* missed** the footblock."
 

What happened: Your footblock macked the disc airborne and your teammate caught the still-live disc. As the disc was still live and playable and your teammate also got a D on the play, and we can only award one, your teammate got the D in this case. It's all subjective anyway.

Reiterating that statskeepers are basically infallible, even when wrong. Which in this case we weren't.

The moral here is that you should always remember to catch your foot blocks.

unless you have also similarly volunteered to statkeep! The current sheet tracks who has done it, and Schijns hasn't.

I'm fairly on board for getting the real workhorses of the league (the statskeepers) to shave a D off of Schijns every game just for being a sassypants about it. Two reasons:

1. it's the only way he'll learn

2. he gets enough D's, he won't really miss them

Amusingly, that happened the previous week when I handblocked (Mehmet?) and it went it right to Andrea who was subbing for us.  Her D for catching it.  I tease her for that now   

For this game, I blocked it, then picked it up.

Whether it was Haig distracting Keates for a moment, a crowd of players between us so it was only seen hitting the turf, someone asking how much time is left, whatever.  Stats keepers are fallible and there can be a lot of activity to keep track of.  

Life will go on.  

 

And I will continue to tease Keates in one fashion or other.

I’ll make sure to sit quietly in the corner far from all stat keepers during your games in the future. My sincerest apologies.

Apologies themselves are fine.   They don’t have to be sincere.

Last Monday, Schijns kept stats, like the hero that he is (all stats keepers are heroes). I am certain he kept to the lofty standards this league demands of its stat keepers, achieving 95% * accuracy.

Schijns, you may now chirp anyone at anytime for anything, up to and including stats keepers and their stats keeping. Chirp away!
