George Davis .365/.405/.599 which is actually better than his 1893 season. Hughie is only .360/.421/.435 with a bunch of errors while Elmer Flick is .306/.390/.435 and is close to getting pulled since his offense isn't making up for his defense. Heilmann, Garnett, and Grennberg have all blown chuncks so far.I have a real weird team. Something like 7 of my firt 9 picks were offesne, yet I'm below average there while my pitching staff has basically been very, very good minus the bad defense inspite of a high walk rate. I'm getting a bunch of double plays so a bunch of those walks are getting erased. I'm also back to .500 for the 2nd time this year (yippee) yet haven't been above 500 yet.Are all the 1890s hitters sucking arzze in this thing, or just mine? Ed Delahanty was a real-life .407/.500/.617 guy, log-5-ed down to something like .385/.475/.585.Well, in this thing, Delahanty has vascillated around a .300 BA, currently at .287/.353/.487. That's a pretty steep drop, even after normalization.Cupid Childs was so bad at hitting (on top of his D- glove) that he only started 10 games for me at 2B. He's gone .172 BA/.250 OBP so far ... log5 was about .306/.448 Thank goodness Bobby Avila is heading for an All-Star appearance at 2B, or I'd be sunk there.

I think Chuck could against my team.Nice job on the no hitter and sweep.Mike Norris just threw a no-no against hoos.That's Mike, not Chuck.
In LIVE for a bit.
Lack of posts in this thread? Something different about the sim engine? Something else?My team has made a startling turnaround, including Ed Delahanty going from mediocre to fifth in the MVP race. Haven't wanted to post about it and jinx my squadthese are nothing like the older ones.....
And while your team is on the rise, my traditional "tank at the all-star break" game plan has kicked in.Lack of posts in this thread? Something different about the sim engine?

You never know in these things ... that's one thing the engine hasn't worked out: how to incorporate streakiness into the sim without seeming unrealistic.In Sim V or VI, my team was 45-55, and then turned it around and won the wild-card slot.MrPhoenix said:And while your team is on the rise, my traditional "tank at the all-star break" game plan has kicked in.
I can't find a 3rd starter for the life of me. Mordecai and Norris have the first two spots nailed down, but it's been a revolving door of Dolf Luque, Curt Schilling, Whitey Ford, and Dean Chance for the 3rd starter spot.Ford failed again as his ERA creeps toward 6. Dean "Don't Leave Things To" Chance gets another, well, chance next.Frostillicus said:I definitely need a starting pitcher.
If anybody is still paying attention, I will trade whatever you want for a starter. Except Condoms. Those go to Phoenix. SOMEDAYI can't find a 3rd starter for the life of me.
