even when i was in the midst of winning 10+ in a row, i still felt that my team was equally capable of losing 10+ in a row. Looks like that's gonna come true soon. I blame Scott Feldman.
Bogart
Footballguy
It's not his fault.

sent him to AAA and started winning again. hard to argue with that type of analysis.

Well, dropped to 3-11 in my last 14 games. Its amazing how the same team that won lots of games sucks ### for a 20 game stretch.
This doesnt seem a whole lot different that rolling 20-sided dice to determine who is going to win the game.
Oh, and they should check the sim out. Cliff Lee walked 42 in 232 real life IP. He is now at 43 BB in 138 IP in the sim.

Maybe it's punishing you for starting Paul Goldschmidt at C

have been wondering what that was all about
Arsenal of Doom
Footballguy
His Catcher ERA isn't bad at 3.87, but 17 passed balls and 12 SB allowed in 76 innings is pretty impressive.
oso diablo
Footballguy
a passed ball is similar to an error, when it comes to calculating ERA.
Arsenal of Doom
Footballguy
Yeah, I figured a percentage of those would have resulted in unearned runs. The next highest number in the league right now is 5 shared by one real catcher with 400+ innings and an outfielder with 18 innings behind the plate.'oso diablo said:

Jason Repko, on same team as Goldschmidt. Even Jason Bay from this team has a start at catcher.

One game ahead of the pace at the All Star break: SNC's 69 Wins or Bust 35-46
Cory Hart and Jimmy Rollins got snubed for the game though.

uh oh, the two LF for the NL are Ryan Braun and Matt Kemp. Who gets the start?

Unfortunately, due to a lack of catcher at-bats I have been forced to spot start Goldschmidt at catcher. He has only allowed a total of 5 unearned runs to score in his start. Sadly, all 5 have been on PB with a runner at 3rd that allowed the runner to score.
oso diablo
Footballguy
i'm curious how you settled on Goldschmidt for that role. I am still learning how WIS works, but my instincts would be to move a middle infielder before a 1B.

Didnt have a real excess of AB's at middle infield. It would have been someone like Blake Dewitt. I just figured that Goldschmidt's hitting was so much better that DeWitt that it would make up for any defensive differences between the 2.Cliff Lee gives up 6 runs in 7 innings again - this time with a real catcher behind the dish.

looks like fatigue is playing a huge role in the standings, whether from teams that were short on playing time to begin with, or from owners not managing their fatigue well
Bogart

I have fatigue under control, all greens with a few blues in my bullpen. My team just sucks.

Same here. Cant believe how one game Chris Volstad throws seven shutout innings and the next game agaisnt the same lineup Latos gets rocked. I guess that is the point of the sim, there are no sure things.

I have an 8 game lead with 44 remaining...still think I can blow this.

That's what I'm counting on, because my team certainly isn't moving upward.

I have Nick Blackburn and his .387 OAVG in the rotation for chrissakes.

He shut me down
There's a wildcard in each league, yes?Also, in case anyone wasn't paying attention, today is the last day to make roster moves as far as AAA goes.

Ooh, that's tricky. Do I stick with Kevin Gregg's 7 ERA or bring Daric Barton back for some .220 pinch hitting?He shut me down
oso diablo
Footballguy
are you sure? if so, crap. i thought that just meant the deadline to have all trades completed and approved. Not sure why it would apply to AAA moves.
scoobus
Footballguy
Definitely not sure, I just assumed that's what it meant.
jfranco77
Footballguy
Yes, that's what it means. AAA moves end the same time as trades.

It's his contract year####### Francisco Rodriguez.8 losses. 5 blown saves. 6.61 ERA. 314 average against.

Yes. Eight playoff teams. 5/7/7 game playoff series.

wish we had all known that. couldn't find any explanation anywhere. really odd, given that MLB goes in the opposite direction (with Sept callups)is there any way to undo that briefly?
