Season 9 (2027) General Discussion
Another week... another shuffle of the pitching rotation. I kicked perfect Carl Hubbell to the AH after he went 0-3 with a 7+ ERA in the playoffs. I replaced him with 98 Hubbell, gaining 125K points in the transactions. I also dumped 98 Don Sutton, who was very underwhelming in his half season of work, pocketing another 125K in points. For now, my rotation includes Rick Reuschel or Gary Peters in the fifth hole, but that 250k is burning a hole in my digital pocket. I am looking for a top 10 pitcher to push everyone down a rung and get Peters/Reuschel back in the bullpen as I originally intended.
Maybe someday I will focus on the offense. :) |
Welcome to season 9. This season my league has only two divisions, does anyone know how the wild card works or if there is one?

Well, 2 of the teams in my division have a combined 11 non-perfect cards, and 7 of those are relievers. Should probably just start doing some position training right off the bat, really.
|
Orcin, it looks like one of my teams is always in a league with you, and this is Great Lake's turn yet again.
Good luck for the upcoming season. |

Same problem with Sutton. However, Perfect Hubbel has been my worst nightmare. He always manages to go deep with just a single run against my team. Too bad he failed you during the playoffs. You should ask Kushiel how he manages to keep Perfect Gooden doing so well for him. When we were in the same league, he won Pitcher or the Year and he keeps his BB/9 much lower than I have ever been able to do. I picked up 99 Walter Johnson a while back and so far so good. He is a bit of a step down from the Perfect card but has done fairly well as a Diamond addition to the roster. Good luck in the new season. |

Great Lakes is doing really well as a RH team in a RH park. We both have tough roads but I hope to visit your ballpark in October! |

How low do you consider a good BB rate for Perfect Gooden? Mine has a career (8 seasons) BB/9 of 3.4, which I consider right for his ratings, and that value has been fairly consistent through the years. During the same time frame Van Mungo has the same BB/9, so I think they are both playing right to their value, considering they also had the same Catcher (88 Ivan Rodriguez), for the entire span. On another team I have Perfect Ryan playing with a less defensive Cather, and during a 7 season span he has a BB/9 of 4.1 Since all those players are basically equal, the only thing I see that can drive BB/9 down is the catcher's ability |
It's only the second game of the year and the Coons have already been one-hit! :rolleyes:
All is well in Portland... |
Your numbers seem right and about what I saw on Kushiels team (it has been two seasons). I don’t believe I ever got him below 4 with the same catcher and no „high walk“ strategy.
I will have to check when I am back. |
Good Luck Everyone :woohoo:

My teams for this season - let's go win some baseball games! :woohoo:
Painter's Wife's Islanders (all-NL team) in Silver .266 Sannikov Land Stunners (all-AL team) in Gold .327 Uecker's Underdogs (UH, OHW, RS, Bob) in Gold .310 |
This is the Frogs' inaugural season at Perfect level so I'm not expecting much other than a learning experience. It is cool noticing some familiar squads from the forums here in P411. For example, I recognize the Auburn Doubledays (was in a league with them at gold level), Washington Lyin Cheatin Senators, and the Evergreen Forest Raccoons from these forums.
Within my NL Central division, I'd estimate that my team is about 3rd/4th best out of 5 teams. The Winterfell Direwolves (why are there so many teams with that name? I feel like I've seen half a dozen of these lol) appear strongest and the Brooklyn Scumbags are probably 2nd best. Then, it's my Frogs, the Cuyahoga Falls Riverfronts, and Bloomington Sluggers all having strengths and weaknesses, but probably in a race for 3rd. Now I'll probably spend the next hour or two looking at the teams in P411 and trying to figure them out! |
