As expected, the Moosejaw Mounties beefed up their roster with a bunch of Face of the Franchise cards. Cards like Rogers Hornsby, Ty Cobb, Stan Musial, Ted Williams, Bob Feller, Walter Johnson, Pedro Martinez, and Trevor Hoffman. I did make a move to counter this: Barry Larkin was added to be SS platoon with Pop Lloyd. SE Robinson Cano was on the roster doing a lot of nothing (backing up 1st base against RHP), so this move completes my lineup. Barry got his first AB in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded and the resulting blast increased the Magpies lead in the division to 11 games.

Yeah, I just edited my post since I did find obvious tanking occurring in some ingenious ways. Such as making look like the starting lineup is legit but then must be using player strategy rules to override it bring a pitcher in to DH and having other players rotate and play catcher. The guy must have been away from his PC and team this week and probably hasn't logged on because I don't think he would have thought the results would be this obvious. There isn't really any history of him tanking before that I can see from his record. It actually looks like he must have dropped some cash on this team about a couple months ago too because they got really good overnight. I don't even know why he would tank with a competitive Diamond team. It's not like you're going to earn that many points in Gold from achievements.
