OFFICIAL WIS XVIII THREAD: An Ode to Claude Hendrix (2 Viewers)

[Koya]

The problem with pre-1900 and WWII is the size of the player pool. I did the math on 42-45 once and I believe it could support a 12 team league tops.

We all just researched the 19th century guys. It's also pretty slim pickings.

We could have two 12-team drafts from tiny eras, then combine it all into one league. Maybe WWII vs. WWI?

Now this sounds interesting.

Now this, I like.

 

[the moops]

ooh. i like

 

[Koya]

Depending on size of pool, could do World War WIS:

Spanish American 1898-1901

World War I 1914-1918 (or extend to 20)

World War II 1939-1945 (or do we do 41-1945)

Korean War 1950-1953

Ding ding ding.

1914-1918 and 1939-1945 = 12 years total. 7 for WWII and 5 for WWI. But, probably better pickings in WWI years anyway. Think 12 teams for each war would be enough?

Dual drafts provide for some epic shtick. I'm in the Sim Live after round 6, Division

I remember the Golden/Steroid Eras draft a few years ago. I tried to draft all Golden Era players...it didn't work. :(

In a matchup of two pitchers with a COMBINED ERA under five at PETCO, who wouldn't expect a 13-10 shoutout?

Harry Krause?

 

[jfranco77]

Also, will be on live for a couple hours if anyone is around today.

 

[Koya]

Can't believe we are just about at the half way point. Once again I'm in the division from hell. I think it was similar in the last sim as well.

Harry's a nice OF?

 

[Bogart]

Koya, trade accepted.

 

[Koya]

Koya, trade accepted.

Oddly enough, Ive done more trades in this format than any other league, by far. And don't think I am done. That said, I need to figure out WTF I am right now. Hopefully Pelty gets back to being awesome for you - he had been for me until very recently.

Thoughts?

FYI, willing to trade a SP (newly acquired or otherwise) for a top flight bat (2B, 3B, OF) and ideally a RP as well in return.

My sister went there when I was about 7-8 years old, back in the early 80s and have been a fan ever since. Went to a small school (out your way actually in Claremont) so I never had any other affiliation.

 

[the moops]

you went to Pomona, right? I think I remember that about you. my wife went there. know a lot of people from that school

2002 for her I think. Dont remember just going off some crazy math skills cause she was born in 1980.

 

[Koya]

Ouch, that hurt.

Looks like my outgoing pitchers went on a strike during their last game with me. 25 runs given up - ONLY 16 earned though.

Come on down Sandy, Babe and Jack the Pfeister

 

[Brady Marino]

Somehow, my sad team is in 2nd, 2 games behind pump in the pitiful race for NL Central supremacy, where the winner will almost surely have a losing record.

Surprised by Bench. The rest make sense. Browning has overperformed, but my team is very top heavy. Hendrix is awesome, my other 2 SPs are not very good. Goose has been really solid in the bullpen. My 1-2-3 hitters are raking, but I don't have anything great after them.
