Does pitching fatigue reset for the playoffs?
Not exactly. Guys get more innings, so they'll recover somewhat. But if you murder a guy, he won't miraculously be 100% when the playoffs start.Does pitching fatigue reset for the playoffs?
If I remember right, you get about 3% back.Not exactly. Guys get more innings, so they'll recover somewhat. But if you murder a guy, he won't miraculously be 100% when the playoffs start.Does pitching fatigue reset for the playoffs?
Yikes -- Strasburg started the game at 67% and threw a 122-pitch complete game. Must've been resorting to the Eephus pitch by the end of that.Kraft... said:Somehow lost game 2 to 67% StrasburgDoug B said:Glad I had a little breathing room -- you're getting fat off of the Dark Knights now ... just as I am finally forced to get Sale & Co. some rest.
and lost two in a row, second one to 54% Wacha, how is that even possibleYikes -- Strasburg started the game at 67% and threw a 122-pitch complete game. Must've been resorting to the Eephus pitch by the end of that.
i don't think this is a thing. was thinking just 8 teams make the playoffs.and lost two in a row, second one to 54% Wacha, how is that even possible
Boggy now passed me for second in the WC <_< quite the tumble
You're right -- he just means his squad got passed for second place in the wild card race.i don't think this is a thing. was thinking just 8 teams make the playoffs.
Sheesh -- Wacha was basically throwing underhand from a lawn chair. Anyone check those balls for Vaseline?and lost two in a row, second one to 54% Wacha, how is that even possible
I'm going to have Danny Valencia play all 9 positions over the last 10 games or so, including a few games at catcher. That should be interesting. Likely to Radatzize RA Dickey for a few games as well.I really cut it close on IP so will be Radatzing two pitchers for the rest of the season. I checked and none of the games have playoff implications.
Matt Shoemaker is takingoneeleven for the team (again)
Yet, Danny Valencia comes through with 0 PBs in his catching debut.So, apparently gold glove short stops make horrible, 5 passed balls, catchers.
Whodathunkit?
Stanton did it!oso diablo said:Daniel Murphy gets robbed of the MVP.
Murphy's team getting swept by Stanton's team in the last series of the season held a lot of weight.oso diablo said:Daniel Murphy gets robbed of the MVP.
You had a good teamFavorite BTTF team of mine by far. Team highlights:
First season I didn't really have to fight fatigue, for hitters or pitchers. Pitchers especially were well rested, still sucked, but fully rested.
- Daniel Murphy was unconscious pretty much all year, while playing out of position at 3B. .421/.489/.758, 41 HR, 145 R, 157 RBI; 35 game hitting streak
- Justin Smoak with a quiet MVP caliber season. 54 homers (3rd in the league), 130 Runs, 147 RBI, .308 average.
- Slidin' Billy Hamilton with 106 stolen bases. A nice .311/.369/.403 line at the top of the lineup gave him plenty of chances standing at first base.
- J.T. Realmuto was the real dealo. .333/.390/.561, 27 HR/115 RBI
- Mookie Betts ended with almost a 30/30 season. Top 20 in Runs, RBI, SBs. My only regret was I probably batted him too low in the lineup, but didn't want to mess up a good thing.
- 8 players with double digit homers; 6 players with 19 SBs or more (4 guys with 30 SBs or more). Kinsler with 1 SB away from a 20/20 season.

** Geneva Bombers can still tie Oso Gallo for best record in the NL, but WIS keeps divisional rivals from playing in the first round, so the NL matchups will be unaffected.
Thanks Doug, got some big homers from my offense that series. Happy not to have to face Sale again.Doug B said:GG, scoobus -- Geneva Bombers gets the sweep of the Pelicans to advance to the NLCS.

I just took a first peak at fantasy rankings, for newZa league ,this evening. :homerun: :sheastadiumapple:Yeah, time to start thinking about this season's draft
Congrats indeed. Can't believe my team even took a game off of them. We were the 2007 Rockies of this season. And Scoob had Severino, Kershaw, Goldschmidt, Stanton and JD Martinez. How did that happen?Congrats @scoobus almost an undefeated playoff, that would have been cool
Isn't it kind of unexpected how satisfying these WIS titles actually are? It's a fun league for now money, but it really delivers a top-of-the-world experience for the champ.
We did it!
2nd title in baseball, I had a very good team this year. I'll have a bigger write-up about it when I get some time. Good series Franco, was a rematch of BTTF 2 I believe.
