WIS XVII - The Cartereaganbush League: Scoobus beats Sammy in the Wis Series (2 Viewers)

[Koya]

congrats @Koya

All the glory in The Moops name.

Welp -- that was three attempts at decent-hitting 1B ... and three whiffs:

Wally Joyner -- rolled a 3  (worst slugging season    )
Rafael Palmeiro -- rolled a 2  (246 PA    )
Andres Gallaraga -- rolled a 2  (worst slugging season     )

The only batters that got a best-season roll were Lou Whitaker and Ruppert Jones. :(

Oof. That sucks.  
 

Rolls have been a real mixed bag for me.  First two rounds as bad as can be missing on four great seasons. Third I hit the jackpot with Tudor. 
 

Got hit punched on the two rerolls, especially Greenwell who gave me a near worthless year (though I did take that risk).

If we did this format 30 times in a row it would likely smooth out, but there’s an inherent unfairness that is the one prime issue with this format.

The first time we did dice rolls, I got lucky a bunch. I remember rolling George Foster's 52-HR season, for instance.

Tudor's going to be like a hot knife through butter in this thing.

 

[cheese]

I was rolling great until I said something about liking my team and I’ve now gotten the worst season like 7 rounds in a row. Milligan 2 is a disaster. 
 

Not sure what to do now. I think I have to skip the idea of defensive players and role players and try to reroll for some real players I want to start.

rick leach, 86, 87, 90 

with a good roll i get a number 1 SP and potentially an A+ CF that can hit 4th.

Yeah, as noted that whole event left a bad taste in my mouth lol.

I remember making picks from the urinals at the Foxwoods casino up in Connecticut while on a business trip.

Nice pick, three workable to decent seasons at the least.

I've got a half starter with 2 nice seasons left on what is left of a "list"  and then on the SP gig.

Im sure there's folks I've missed. And it's also round 21.

Sparky doesn't believe in using pitchers as pinch hitters but Caveman's .759 OPS in 1984 (35 PAs) is better than my bench bats.

It's only taken me about 20 rounds but I have a plan! And I now realize how bad some of my earlier picks were. :(

I actually had a plan, and was pretty true to it overall.  It's also not THAT different than my general strategy, adjusting for the uncertainty and risk (sometimes well, sometimes... nottasomuch)

My plan was to build a set-it-and-forget-it team that doesn't require frequent management in the sim.

 

[scoobus]

I always love Eephus and how much he despises the WIS sim.

Which one's worse in your opinion, the baseball sim or the basketball sim?

Where the fun in that?

this is suppose to involve a plan?

Basketball sucks more by far although the fatigue death spiral is something to behold.

Basketball sucks more by far although the fatigue death spiral is something to behold.

What means this?  (being short on innings in general, or the need to actively manage to avoid. Me being a micromanager as I think that's a big part of the fun with matchups and all that)

I can say, Basketball is the suck - but still fun and a reason to check the computer a couple times a day for a win or loss.  I remember thinking rest meant in game rest, and I got destroyed in my first game because all my best starters rested.

What means this? 

Fatigue in the basketball sim leads to multi-game injuries which exacerbates the problem for the survivors.  I vaguely remember a team going 2-80 with most losses coming by 30+ points.  I realize WIS didn't design it for BTTF formats where minutes are an unknown quantity.

Ahhh, for basketball.  Yeah, I do recall that issue. I may have accidentally helped by overplaying all my ####ty players that first game which gave me a little cushion otherwise. Albeit at the expense of a sure loss. 

Thought you meant for baseball.

Rooting for a 3 here, 1990 could be a nice weapon.

Since I keep getting all the bad seasons anyway, I'm just going to draft a dude with three bad seasons. Problem solved.
