i shift my pitching staff roles around almost every game. if it were a real team, the entire pitching staff would be completely confused about who was supposed to do what.

this isn't really a strategy, but rather a mechanism to cope with fatigue

Same here. Except when I get too drunk to remember and I leave Mat Latos in to start and Travis Wood is as my closer

Yeah, I'm doing a lot of this, but that's not much different than any wis league for me

 
I really enjoy this league every year. I hope we don't stop doing it. It seems like interest in WIS is waning among some of the board members who are participants.

 
It ebbs and flows. At one point was like 18 months maybe longer between leagues them a few in succession.

What we need is some new blood and less being ####### by our renowned Veterans. Looking at you Ee.

 
PATD on a mini tear here. Looks like he's opened a 7 game lead for the WC with 24 to go.

Pelicans, who is that guy behind PATD, is still in striking distance, 6 behind with those huge four games upcoming that can easily switch a dynamic.

3 way race for best regular season record, two of those from the American League. FWIW

Only really good race is the American League Central. Three teams within 4 games, all on winning streaks of at least 4 games. Those twelve final divisionals will be interesting to watch. Possible that whoever does not get the division could overcome an also 3 game deficit in the WC.

Get your :popcorn:

And get thee to the Tremendous Upside league thread. We know even those with weak excuses have one more season in you, regular style. Let's do it right. FOR TU. Seriously. Damn.

 
CONGRATS CHEESE!

First to lock away a division title. Always nice to see that lil "x" in the standings.

My Pelicans were one game back of the NL WC about 20 or so games ago. Panik got hot, and my squad has cooled off since then, though.

At present, my squad is 4 back in the division with 20 games left to play. I think the WC is out of reach with Panik having eight games vs the two worst NL teams at the end of the season. But I still have a legit shot at the division title against Teamocil.

 
Alex Guerrero: 19/147

Rick Porcello: 17 Wins 3 Losses (and 2 SVs to boot)

All 12 of my pitchers have at least one save (plus one who didnt make the final roster)

Question:

I know WIS changed the SIM a while back so you can't save up a players full season (to prevent 26 innings of Milacki come playoffs)... is it that you can buffer 10% (in addition to the 10% WIS "gives" you anyway) but no more?

20+ of these and I still have no idea about this ####.

 
I'm glad to see the homerun record in a season will no longer belong to a big time steroid abuser. Thanks Nelson Cruz!

Not sure, either. Always seemed to me that whatever your players' Game 162 fatigue level was, it would get shaved down three % points or so before the 1st playoff game. Beyond that, it's a mystery to me.

 
So, will art follow life?

Will Arrieta surpass Grienke for the Cy Young while the whole year it looked like Grienke would get it? He's already gone probably two additional starts and will likely expand that differential, so could definitely happen.

 
I don't know. I am throwing him at 98 and 99 and my pen is spent. I am doing everything I can to figure out how to get my guys in my pen back to green

 
:champagne:

Woot woo!

Must say, this has been one of the more rewarding WIS efforts in all the years we have done this. For one, it really got me into baseball in a way that fantasy baseball never did (oooh, I got like one steal and four rbis tonight! let's check that box) so the season was that much more exciting. Didn't hurt that my Mets turned it on for the year.

Then, having lost the first three games while still unable to even get to a computer as I was just out of surgery, to the first couple weeks of the season trying to get enough energy (literally) to enter a damned lineup. Then my miserable first weeks at home, pain, drugged out (somehow not enough to not hurt like hell, percocets be damned), nauseas and sweating through (again, literally) multiple sets of bedding and about 12 pillows a night.

Finally, I began to turn the corner, had a stupid 20 game winning streak which gave me a solid week of happy news and a lil smile when I checked the score three times a day, just as I began to walk around my house and slowly get to full strength.

Now, onto the playoffs. While there's certainly more luck and some throws of the dice, there are also teams that are more or less set up for playoff success. I feel good about the latter, but again, you never know in a short series. I've had great teams lose, and not so great teams win. Here's to TU giving me one more lift to the Championship! But with way, a really fun experience.

THANK YOU SAMMY for sucking me into this, and then bailing on me and leaving me totally lost and helpless. Better to be lucky than good anytime. And to trade. GB that CARLOS for PRINCE deal. Worked out for both teams I believe.

 
Well fought season, happy to be playoff bound :bowtie:

Props to the rest of the no cupcake division, aka the NL Central(NV, Scoob, Eeph). I'll do my best to represent you well :thumbup:

Eephus has been in France for awhile I think...

You are correct. The most they can carry into the playoffs is 10% plus the 10% WIS gives you as a cushion plus whatever you get in the playoffs. So a Milacki type would only be able to throw maybe 1 start, rest for a few days, and then throw 1 more. In reality you can still stretch them relatively far, but you can't get 30 playoff innings out of a Milacki any more.

 
League OPS is 805 with 8 games to go. League ERA is 5.44 though that is slightly skewed by Tre2 checking in at 9.45.

So my 1st round pick (Strasburg) is checking in with an ERA+ of about 122 in 144 innings.

2nd round pick (A Gonz) has about a 120 OPS+. So despite his 299/375/591 line with 46 HRs, pretty meh at 1B.

 
i hate ERA+.

eta: not really hate, just wanted an excuse to link that. i do think the stat is fundamentally flawed.

I just wanna say I did a really awful job managing fatigue this year. I was so worried about players dying after the stupid transaction deadline that I played my horrible players way more than I needed to. My whole team is at 100% and I won't come close to using all the PA's for some of them. I've been way better at optimizing in the past. Team wasn't good enough anyways, but still annoying.

 
at least 2 guys (Pollock and Mookie Betts) are going to break the MLB record for most doubles in a season. The real record is 67, set by Earl Webb in 1931. Webb never hit more than 30 doubles in any other season.

I learned to never make a trade with you before the season is over. ;) I didn't like that AJ Ramos and Raisel Iglesias trade. I could have gotten so much more after the season. Fortunately, jfranco helped me out with Bour and Pagan. That trade made my team. Gave me my MVP. I will still put my Bour/Pedro platoon up against anyone else's 1B, outside of Chris Davis and Albert Pujols.
