***BTTF VI: Draft Over! See you in October (1 Viewer)

[Kraft...]

I am also rocking a 6 man rotation out of necessity.

Teams with ####ty pitching staffs UNITE!  

 

[Kraft...]

I'm still not seeing the ball next to my next scheduled starter... anyone else?

Fine here, Canadian thing  

 

[Greco]

Six games in and bullpen is toast.

 

[Frostillicus]

I too am a six man rotation guy.

 

[the moops]

I think I am going to need some bullpen help. Not pretty.

Have Josh Bell and his 500/750/750 line available

 

[Northern Voice]

KANG has 7 HR's in the first 6 games (I have to sit him once every 4 games because he's so short on PA's though).

 

[Bogart]

Verlander's line this morning: 8.1 inn, 15 hits, 10 runs, 10 ER, 1 BB, 9 SO, 5 HR(!!), 131 pitches, and he leaves with the lead

Is my coaching staff unable to pull him off the mound?

In the same game, Chapman came in to blow the save, but I still won, 13-12.

Sounds like you need to go in and change his target pitch count.

How bad is it that I like seeing the potential trainwreck?

 

[Bogart]

Sounds like you need to go in and change his target pitch count.

And you are right. I'm just not use to, you know, having a team that I actually needed to manage.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

You can also change the call bullpen to pull him if he gets in trouble. It ranges from 1-5. 1 meaning that they never pull him, 5 meaning that they pull him if he puts like two guys on base.

i usually keep my really really good starters at 1 and my other starters at 2. If you go any higher than that they pull them too early and it kills your bullpen.

<_<   how your offense got to the mighty Jared Hughes for the late win I have no idea  

 

[Bogart]

It's so awesome to have those three games a day back.

 

[Greco]

I may not win another game.  Seriously. 

 

[Chemical X]

as I suspected....good pen, some decent SP and a good enough offence.  niese and McCullers need to hang in till I can call up my better AAA 50 inning guys. 

 

[Northern Voice]

My first three series' have all been sweeps - luckily 2 in my favour. 

6-0 on the road, 0-3 at home.

 

[oso diablo]

i have one team with a 2.73 ERA (best) and one team with a 8.90 ERA (somehow only 3rd worst)

 

[Doug B]

Oh, and Vogt with 4 homers in the first 5 games. 

 

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Also a 6 man rotation.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

4-0!  (no way this lasts)

went 6-0, then lost 4 in a row so far.

 

[Bogart]

 

Sorry GB. Not trying to rub it in. He's hitting 0.229 if it makes you feel any better.

 

[the moops]

Man, hitting is out of control early on. My team has a 963 OPS

Bell 1.607
Jaso 1.482
Jankowski 1.336
Altuve 1.315
Cabrera 1.075
Posey 1.070
Orlando .970
Suarez .921
Blackmon .921
Mercer .891

 

[Spartans Rule]

Man, hitting is out of control early on.

No kidding. I've scored 58 runs in my last 3 games. And it's not a good thing - half my lineup is tired from the excess PAs.

 

[Kraft...]

Hitting fatigue lead to resting most of my bench for PM1, led to Pitchers pinch hitting

G.Cole hits a flyball solo homer to LF   

 

[the moops]

I think I am going to need some bullpen help. Not pretty.

Have Josh Bell and his 500/750/750 line available

I actually don't have room on my major league roster for him. I will pair him with someone like Sergio Romo for a much better RP?

Bullpen have ERAs of 4.26, 7.50, 13.50, 7.36, 13.50, and 10.13.

But Fernando Abad has an ERA of 0.00 in 6.1 IP!

My top 4 starters have ERA's of 3.10, 3.38, 1.80 and 3.46

My bullpen ERA's are 4.15, 16.20, 19.29, 11.05, 10.80, 5.63 and 7.71.

They basically blow every game for me.

 

[Bogart]

Yu Darvish is going to be an interesting experiment this season. Early line of: .090 ERA, .147 OAV, 0.80 WHIP, 10.80/2.70 K/BB per 9. But on a pretty restricted pitch count. Will be lucky to get 5 IP out of him each time.

 

[Koya]

My pitching has been flat out TUURRRBBLE.  

So much for a season led by Arrieta and Cueto.  

 

[Northern Voice]

My top 4 starters have ERA's of 3.10, 3.38, 1.80 and 3.46

My bullpen ERA's are 4.15, 16.20, 19.29, 11.05, 10.80, 5.63 and 7.71.

They basically blow every game for me.

Today's game: Salazar gives up 4 hits, 2 runs over 6 innings, leaves with a 3-2 lead. Raisel Iglesias comes in for the 7th and promptly gives up a 3-run shot and a solo home run to lock up the loss.

####### stupid

 

[Greco]

I've given up 20, 25 and 33 runs in my last  5 games.

 

[Greco]

And a team era of 10.52

 

[Koya]

FWIW, if anyone has a MI, limited PAs ok but decent defence? Would swap one of my equally as meh or crappy OFs (Richard or Jennings as more crappy Gutierrez or Holiday as decent enough)

 

[Northern Voice]

Do anyone's player stats look like they have any basis in the reality of the regular season stats? I don't like to be the one to take my ball and go home but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to this so far.

Arrieta is at a 2.25 WHIP.

I have no idea what's going on.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

It's early. There will be some wacky stats early. A bad start will really skew stats. Give it about 20 more games. It will start evening out.

christ colon or amarista?

7 game losing streak over the weekend. Not the way I wanted to start my Monday morning.

Its pretty bad.  We've been saying this for awhile now though and yet we keep coming back for more.

beginning to think this is really good advice for those (like oso tremendo) with otherwise decent bullpens getting blown up.

 

[Koya]

christ colon or amarista?

lemme look.

would also consider trading for a defensive oriented OF for Gutierrez

 

[Koya]

christ colon or amarista?

How come I can't find either on your roster (My Pillar?)

ETA - Looked them up... Amarista has D- range, im looking for D. Colon could work for a guy like Rickard.

they didn't make my team and don't aaa qualify.

 

[Koya]

Oh, I didn't think we are allowed to trade those players.   

Hence my mad scramble to pull a late deal before rosters went hard

 

[AcerFC]

What does it mean when I have guys with a 70 and 74 next to them. Still blue though. In fact, I have no batters who have 100

Fatigue.  Check your auto-rest settings and player rest hierarchies

Then what? At what point do guys die. 

 

[scoobus]

Then what? At what point do guys die. 

If you're already at 70 fatigue 24 games in, soon.

 

[Bogart]

7-2 at home. 4-12 on the road. Awesome.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I have Tim Beckham and Danny Santana in the minors.  Could use another bullpen arm.

 

[the moops]

I can part with

John Jaso - hitting 360/467/600

or

Josh Bell - hitting 500/692/750 

for bullpen help.

Please?
