RIP Team Funkley. 5 straight loses.....buncha ####### all of em.

Your team metrics are OK, though. Good in ERA, batting .300, better than average # of runs scored. You'll probably reel off 8 in a row at some point to even things out.Have you played a filler team yet?.

You don't wise up, I might smite you.

 

[Koya]

Anyone see cap? I want to get the voting started so we can argue and whine about something other than 3rd year metrics.

Larry, you and me 4 games Wednesday and Thursday potentially battleing for the division lead. Should be a hell of a series.

Also, baseball fever forums will also vote on a winner. That should mean more than FFA or the sim, seeing as they are baseball afficienado's there.

who are your starters??g1: Christy Mathewsong2: Roger Clemensg3: Dwight Goodeng4: Tom Glavineand I should have at least 4 more wins (a 4-gamer with "Colome Is a God" beforehand) before then, if not 6...

After the first ten games of the 2004 NL season, the 4 teams that eventually made the playoffs were a combined 22-18.The team with the best record (Florida) did not make the playoffs.There was only a 12% correlation between record after 10 games and final record.Baseball is a marathon. Pace yourself.

Super-true in real life. In the sim, I'm more inclined to believe there will be a higher correlation.

Not yet -- a correlation may be more apparent after every team has had a few shots at the filler teams.

 

[oso diablo]

has anyone had an injury yet? I started Mark Prior two games ago, who went 100 pitches, and is still only at 22%. After this afternoon's game, he'll be at only 29%. At this rate, he'll be on rest for another 10 days. Wonder if that's how they do injuries.

You will definitely see Joe McGinnity and Doc White other than that it depends on what I do with the rotation in the mean time. Two more with Funk and a 4 gamer with Pump before we meet so I could be a few games back if you're playing a scrub.

why?you really don't think the sim is going to take into accounts the grind of a 162-game season?not to mention, some teams haven't been able to beat up on the fillers yet. the standings right now don't mean ****.

Someone please beat the #### out of Larry's Super Powerful Team of Non Vintage Modern Players. God is truly on your side if Frank Thomas is still errorless at firstbase. He should've beaten himself bloody with groundballs at this point.

WIS FAQ says there are no multigame injuries.Dan Plesac, for my team, is someone who can't go very often. His 3rd season is only 62 IP. How that's translating into sim performance is that anytime he goes more than, say, 4 outs, he'll take a huge hit in fatigue. I will have to lower his pitch count setting to get more frequent use of him..

I just signed up there last week, and asked if they might be interested in voting on our teams. They consensus seemed to be yes (no "no's" actually) so when we get started here I will post the same thing over there.www.baseball-fever.com

Yes, I had Dazzy Vance injured but did not get back to the computer and ended up starting him. Luckily, seems like he did not get too much worse and should only miss a start at this point.But he did give up a bunch of early runs cause he was hurt (I think he was hurt at least, had like 40% and red)

 

[Koya]

The baseball fever forum is a pretty stay on topic type place. I was lurking there for a while during the draft - they had some interesting polls as to best player at east position ever, and best 50 overall players.

Plesac went from 100 to 43 in fatigue after pithcing seven outs last game. He's very effective, but I will have to be more careful with him.

Sure. I've had some extra inning games, and an uber-blowout where most of my starters stayed in for some reason just racking up stats (Mel Ott )

Same here, after the first two games most of my starters went down but since 100% all the way.

I had to sit two guys after day one and my starter had fatigue....since then every player on my club is 100% after every game. No fatigue what-so-ever.....

Yeah, you dont gain much by beating a team of nothings 20 something to 1. Now, if those teams could be a little better, and leftovers not so good, we would have a good balance.

 

[10993]

PL West easily the toughest division. 3 Series contenders and a dummy team.

PL West and NL East are the toughest...especially basing it on the top 2 teams in each division...

PL East is very solid, too, with an 8-3 team and two 7-4 teams.

Trefor strengthened his dummy team, and it looks like Cap did too. Are Colome and Dragons still set as they were originally?.

 

[Bogart]

Another hitless day for Henderson. Time to change the lineup some. My pitching staff is keeping me in games, but Henderson and Jackson have really been rally killers in these early games.

Can we? Thought Cap had to do that?

The Badgers, less Radke, in a downward spiral loosing their last 5 in a row.

 

[Koya]

Other than Harrier and UCONN, anyone else afraid of the baseball forum vote, if we get to that point? Seemed most people wanted it when I asked during the draft and now, but if not, not worth the effort. Im more than willing to post the votes, but only if people are psyched about it. What ever happened to the OOTP sim, also? You may now return to calling me a whiner when I stand pretty damned consistent on an issue throughout the draft.

 

[Nipsey]

All you teams with good records got your records by playing at least one series against dummy teams. That's three easy wins when you could've lost all three games to real teams. Let's talk after 50-60 games before we go sucking each others ##### about which divisions aare best.

Well, so far I dont have much to go on. Leftovers is a tough team, but not one of ours, same with Tre - and these guys I am playing now are pathetic.My one series was with Pump, and he took it 2 ouf 3. Which is pretty much on par with how he beat me back in the live sims.

 

[Koya]

My four game upcoming series with Spock should be fun. 4 straight games over a day and a third... I should see if I need to rest anyone.

 

[Kraft...]

Can't blame Tim Teufel for the poor start of "Dragons, Arks and Lebron", he's hitting .417. Way to not let you team bring you down Teuf Bogart maybe you should offer up Rickey in a one for one deal?

For some reason, some people here can't grasp that fact.

Trust me, at 8-3, I am concerned about that.Against FFA drafted teams, I am 5-3 and on a 3-game winning streak. My team's won two series in a row. I am really hoping that the Blackened Voodoo can stay on a .625 pace against FFA draft teams.

I get to really test my team's mettle against mrharrier and oso diablo next week.

 

[Kraft...]

Has everyone played a dummy team at least once so far? They've played 44 colective games.
