[Notorious T.R.E.]

Beat Dr. D in a 5-4 barnburner. Both starters were probably confused after being pulled by the 6th inning (Ed Walsh/Chesbro). Joe Black gets a 2 pitch win.

Chesbro threw 91 pitches and is 8 (97) for fatigue. lol

That would be a great skit to see. Manager comes out in the sixth to pull an Ed Walsh.

Manager: "All right Ed. Good job."

Ed: "What the #### are you doing out here?"

Manager: "I think that's all you got, Going to let the bullpen bring this home."

Ed: "What the #### is a 'bullpen'?"

Manger: "Give me the ball Ed."

Ed: "Get the #### out of here. I have three more innings to pitch."

In my mind, Ed Walsh says #### a lot.

I imagine Nolan Ryan saying the same type of thing before he goes all Robin Ventura on the manager.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Clearly not enough Live being played with myself and Larry the only ones partaking so far.

Heading into the office in a little while. Will be in the Live lobby most of the day if anyone is interested in playing. If you're scared, it's okay, I understand. Technology is scary for all the old people.

Was at a game in 1990 where I watched Ryan stare Bobby Valentine back into the dugout. Bobby got two steps out. Stopped. Looked around like he was lost, and walked back into the dugout.

[AcerFC]

How does Live work if you are playing someone you are not scheduled to be playing

 

[the moops]

you can play games in the future.

 

[Brady Marino]

Early season pitcher fatigue is bizarre in WIS. 285 IP Don Sutton threw 80 pitches and is at 5 (37).

Because WIS.

 

[jfranco77]

Yeah, I am definitely thinking I won't get much live in if I can only play early in the mornings.

 

[AcerFC]

For all of you making fun of pinch hitters, two of koyas pinch hitters won him the game.

And quisenberry was in for a non save opportunity in extra innings even though I had him as save only.

I've had my fun. Seasons started and it's time to move on.

Mostly. Can't let such a pressing issue like this be swept under the rug after all.

Perhaps quizz was in there because your other options were used? Don't know your lineup setup so hard to say. Gates with the big two run PH to tie it up and get us back in the game. A 6-4 10 inning shoutout for Petco.Eta: and this is hardly the first time my drafting has been questioned. Not to say this is a Stellar team, but it appears I have a way different approach to most regarding building a lineup and assembling guys to fill certain roles. I suppose I take a few more flyers / risks than some and have less of a solid plan that others as it's always a fluid draft for me. Sometimes it falls really flat, but it's worked enough over the long haul I suppose.

I'm sure we'll go back to normal non-nazi WIS in the future.

 

[Bogart]

Ozzie Smith with 3 doubles in 2 games.

Big Hurt with 2 homers.

Nolan with a blown save.

Oh, we will see to that. None of this bait and switch stuff.

The people have spoken.

john tudor threw 7 innings and 107 pitches, he is now 8 (46) with 275 innings. he has 2 more starters to get back to 100%. maybe the ball is heavier in this sim and everyone is exhausted?

Should get there in 2 starts.

Sutton already will be back to 100% after the PM2 sim. McNally is at 15 (60) now after starting PM1. So they're recovering fast at least.

i peaked at this boxscore.....acer was home team, so there could be no save situation. likely the SIM went to your closer here for that reason. the bigger issue for me is that quizz went 2 innings. he may have the innings for that work load, but i want my closer going one inning max in the sim, maybe a drop more if i go live. i would look at his pitch count.

edit: quizz came in for the 9th with acer up 4-3, so it was a save situation. but i wouldn't have him come out for the 10th after throwing a bunch of pitches in the 9th. he must've been around 88-93%?

pitch counts. Advanced settings under pitchers. I generally think Sparky is too conservative on Starters' PC and MPC settings but they seem to be OK for relievers.

 

[Brady Marino]

In Venue 1. GET SOME.

 

[Brady Marino]

Joe McGinnity is positively worthless. Guy gets slapped around worse than Tina Turner.

There will be beers and simlive tonight.

I have exactly this same experience, and I am also a big believer in filling roles. Especially commiserate with the "always a fluid draft" part.

It probably provides me with more variance in results, but I'd rather not make the playoffs every year with a better chance to win it all than somewhat more consistency but never get the big one. I started somehow getting both , the slumped, trying to find that middle ground again with the combo of less time to study this, changes in the engine that I took a whole to adjust to and other players getting wise to how to work it and basically catching up.

 

[AcerFC]

Is there any way to sim live once so I can see what it's like without being in the SIM live division

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

I just noticed we have a roster problem. Marius Russo P 1930s is in the league twice, on my roster and Larry's. Larry took him in the 14th round, but his entry appears to have been typed over in the Google doc as it has "3k" listed in the player name so it didn't come up when I entered it in the 21st and no one caught it.

1983 Quiseberry, in real-life, averaged 2 IP per appearance. Give that, Sparky will let him go 30+ pitches if he's not set lower.

You can simlive anytime, the live vs. dead divisions are just for purposes of grouping people who want to play live more.

Just let me know who you'd like to replace him with and we can send a ticket. Sorry I didn't catch that one.

At least you guys are in different leagues. Shouldn't be a showstopper.

On my list, I typed him in as "Russo, Mario" when larry picked him, and "Russo, Marius" when Arsenal picked him. Otherwise, I'd have caught it at the time

[Arsenal of Doom]

Let's swap him with Cliff Melton P 1937 NY Giants

If I had searched the thread instead of just the Google doc, I would have caught it too. Sorry for the inconvenience.

what do i need to do to get the live to work. I installed the latest java but its saying my security is blocking me

 

[Eephus]

My computer can't seem to figure out the Java thing needed for SimLive. Computers are neat.

I always click on "Run This Time" since WIS has been just about the same for over 10 years now.

I had to go into Java Settings under Windows Control Panel and reduce "security" from high to medium. WIS doesn't sign their Java code which typifies how little Fox Sports Interactive Media cares about them.

Had to do the same.

 

[AcerFC]

Thanks eephs.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Sim live anyone?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I gotta new Macbook yesterday and just checked if I can play live, and it says I need a plugin. When I try to download one, it says, "no suitable plugins were found."

####### #### ####.

What browser?

I can get it to work on my older macbook in Firefox and Safari. My newer macbook I used to be able to get it to work in Firefox, but am having a tough time sorting that out now

Firefox. But let me try Safari while I'm sitting here.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Well Safari let me install the plugin, but now it says my security settings won't allow the plug-in to play. oof

And Macs are awesome, I'll take another 8+ years with a laptop that never crashes and never has a virus.

Lower your Java security settings (if there's a way).

Yeah, sucks.

That's on a PC I believe. On a Mac Java is an "untrusted program" because of the memory footprint it leaves and the ease of outside manipulation. I'll bring my work PC home to play live on this weekend.
