You can do it without a ticket. Think you have to wait for all 24 teams to be entered.I can't remember where the exact division realignment link is on WIS. Look around a little, it's not hidden away IIRC.

 

[Greco]

sorry arsenal. lap top was slow to load.

i'm there now.

After 20 minutes of searching for this, I just sent a ticket. Shouldn't be that hard. Hopefully they'll get it updated in time to still start on 11/28.

You shouldn't need a ticket. Once the league is full, aligning the divisions is one of the final steps to setting up the lead. I believe it's right after reviewing the rosters.

[RnR]

Ok, we're all fixed.

Apparently I had clicked "random alignment" at some point of the league set-up, causing it to not offer me the option of realignment once the league filled. They gave me the option, and now I have the divisions set up. We're good to go.

The Old Men draw Russ Ford for their home opener

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Shake just felt the power.

:flex:

 

[Hoos First]

Woohoo. Gonna be 1 of my few wins.

 

[oso diablo]

continued my streak of losing on opening day. got to Ruelbach a bit, but lost to a 3-run HR from Dan Uggla in the late innings.

My SP (Hank Robinson), who had 188 IP, went 6 innings and now has a ZERO fatigue rating, and will only be at a 6 after the next game. This is going to be a wild ride.

That's typical of first start fatigue. Vean went 7 and is at 12% with 260 ip. But I think a number of us will be doing rotation management much of the year. Nice 5-1 win in my first outing. Had guys on to blow the game open and had the tying run at bat (pujols I think) against me late in the game but my pitching came through this time.

 

[Northern Voice]

Say Hey Kid! 2 HR 5 RBI opening night.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Fernando gives up 10 runs in the opener

There was something in the air that night.

 

[Brady Marino]

Hitters hit and pitchers got slapped around like they were Rihanna. On both sides. That's how my season's gonna go.

 

[oso diablo]

0-2 and in first place in my division

 

[oso diablo]

22.11 - Fred Tenney, PH/Really Bad Backup C

I think Gene Green gives me enough ABs at C in the 8 hole, but it not, you'll see the sweet, sweet, D/D/D+ glove of Fred F'n Tenney.

Tenney is famous for stealing 1st base. In a 1908 game, Tenney is on 1st and a teammate is on 3rd. Tenney steals 2nd, hoping to draw a throw so that the runner on 3rd can try for home. There's no throw. On the next pitch, Tenney runs back to 1st, so that he can try it all over again on the next pitch.Never mind that Tenney's team (NY Giants) were up 9-2 in the 8th at the time.

SWEEP!

So, Rodrigo Lopez is a stud in WIS. Who knew? :updatesnotebook:

 

[Greco]

Bambino with an .889 OPS in his 4 games. May try this cat in RF.

NOT A STARTER

 

[Northern Voice]

Gene DeMontreville went 5/5 with a grand slam and 3 errors in his latest game.

Through 4 games he's .647/.667/.882 with 7 RBI, 5 errors and he's been caught stealing 3 times already (even though I have him set not to run). So far he's generating more than he's costing me, but he sure makes a ton of mistakes.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Still zero homers for my squad!

 

[boubucarow]

Same here. Although it isn't surprising in the least for me.

Not for mine either, but you'd think someone might run into a fastball every once in a while

If anyone is available, I am live during daylight today.

NOOB ALERT NOOB ALERT.

How long do you go to get a good sample for pitching? I think my 4th starter is a mistake - yes 1 game lol.

How does the sim choose between Long A, Long B etc?

Similar question for defense - how long do you go until you swap out a hitter against a lefty for example. My lineups don't change lefty vs righty much but I think I may want to shake it up, I need actually spend more than 2 minutes looking at stuff obviously. Just looking for some advice.

Thanks.

Probably the only time I can say I'm in first so I'll do so now.
