Eephus sexted

 

[Brady Marino]

I think there's one or two s here that hate the ground Schmidt walks on because of past poor performances.

 

[Greco]

Vida Blue P

Borderline steal. Was considering him when I took Sutton.

Had him. Bust.

Had him. Bust.

Also had him when he sucked once IIRC

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Starting to feel like anyone can flop in these though.

Edit: I even had Ruth/Gehrig one season and they took most of the year off. That hurt.

The sim loves/hates you based on track record. Jordan rules, if you will. The sim hates Greeks.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Maybe Mr P and Koya can team up for a blog on who they had on their short lists, and who is the SOD. I'm sure someone would read it.

 

[Doug B]

One thing to consider is that, every so often, there are subtle tweaks made to WIS's baseball simulation engine. Sometimes even more than subtle tweaks (esp. fatigue and defense). So guys that may have disappointed five years ago might be able to perform better today.

And vice versa.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

3.06 3B Mike Schmidt

Hit or miss, literally.

I think you might have saved me from myself.

I've had the '81 season twice. Once ok, once had 34/140 and a .970 OPS.

The other Schmidt seasons have been awful for me though.

 

[Eephus]

Harry "The Cat" Brecheen SP 1940s

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Was Horlen on anyone's list? Did I reach?

 

[Koya]

Was Horlen on anyone's list? Did I reach?

No comment.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Harry "The Cat" Brecheen SP 1940s

OH MAN!!!! HE WAS SOOOOOOOOO ON MY SHORTLIST!!!!!!!!!!!

It was between Schmidt, Brecheen and Gary Peters.

 

[Eephus]

Harry "The Cat" Brecheen SP 1940s

OH MAN!!!! HE WAS SOOOOOOOOO ON MY SHORTLIST!!!!!!!!!!!

It was between Schmidt, Brecheen and Gary Peters.

Too bad Mike Morse's 2013 season is ineligible.

 

[jfranco77]

ugh. eephus taking a guy outside my top 30 doesn't help me make this decision. gimme a couple.

 

[Eephus]

I'm done with the 1940s BTW

ETA: I have no idea what I'm doing.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Eephus going scarcity route by cleaning up his 40s dudes early.

 

[Brady Marino]

You're now on my ShinKick shortlist. Does that help?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I don't like Eephus and Franco picking right next to me in this draft. Not one bit. <_<

You're now on my ShinKick shortlist. Does that help?

No. I just try to stay off TRE STOMACHPUNCHLIST and I find everything else falls into place nicely.

3.08 Tris Speaker, OF

No. I just try to stay off TRE STOMACHPUNCHLIST and I find everything else falls into place nicely.

But that's not a shortlist. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's quite long.

3.06 3B Mike Schmidt

I too was hoping somebody else would take Schmidt.

WHAT???!!!???

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Franco> You going with one of the 20s seasons for Tris or his 1912?

 

[jfranco77]

Franco> You going with one of the 20s seasons for Tris or his 1912?

That's for me to know and, ummmm, me to find out. I honestly have no idea. Right now leaning towards 12.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

No comment.

Good, that makes me feel a little better.

He wasn't on my shortlist.

Otay, just want to track as best as possible.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I will say that the guy I was going to draft was not in the desired year group. Had his named typed in then looked at other decade options, and passed. So the year groups have definitely been a consideration in the past two rounds for me.

 

[avoiding injuries]

I'm here with a list of 3 to choose from. Trying to figure out which guy will get me laughed at the least.

As soon as Greco picks I should be ready.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Greco out picking olives?

 

[Brady Marino]

Greco out picking olives?

He'll always be our gyro.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Greco out picking olives?

He'll always be our gyro.

Horrible.

[Notorious T.R.E.]

8 mins left Greco, gogogogogogoo

 

[avoiding injuries]

I'm waiting around to pick before I have to run. What time, :34?

 

[Brady Marino]

zzz

 

[avoiding injuries]

Carl Hubbell, SP

 

[Kraft...]

3.08 Tris Speaker, OF

 

[avoiding injuries]

RNR is in a mtg. Pick coming soon.

 

[RnR]

Jeff Bagwell

 

[Eephus]

Getting Bagwell in the 23rd round of the Alphabet Soup leeg was my biggest drafting coup.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Greco takes his old standby: OF Hack Wilson

 

[Koya]

Chem up, yes?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Chem up, yes?

Texted him, but he's being a terrorist.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

X OTC until xx:45

 

[Chemical X]

i will take a guy that always seem to do well in these:

John Tudor Garage 1980s

he had that amazing 1985 and i watched him kill the mets, but something i didn't know about that year; he started 1-7 with a 3.74 thru the first 2 months, from june 1 on it appears he went 20-1 with a 1.37.

That's decent.

 

[Koya]

Had another just a bit above, but decade scarcity (and/or non scarcity in the other year) has me taking a bit of a chance here as the other year just has tons of not quite as good but still good pitching talent for later:
