As I indicated above, look away if you don't have the stomach for it. 1911 and 1912 were horrific, bottom of the barrel seasons. Truly awful.
Not sure I've ever seen anything like their 1911 season. Relievers were being used as starters. Position players were being used as relievers. The injury list was a mile long (I use the Normal [OOTP Classic] setting with High Position Player Fatigue) when I checked in on them at the end of the season. Why do I inflict such carnage? Am I a sadist? Nah. I just want to see as many players get some game action as possible. I suppose I could crank both settings up to "Very High", but I think the setting is just fine where it is.
The good news for them was that they gave up 232 fewer runs in 1912 than in 1911. The bad news is right there in plain sight. Their runs allowed was still in quadruple digits.
It's at times like these that you want to step in and help them out. They had a lot of quality depth at some positions that they could've used to get pitching. I'm an extremely hands off commish though (and I don't manage/general manage any teams), aside from the draft. I'll give them a ton of quality depth at some positions if that's what the Draft Value says I should do. Even though I'm tempted to, I won't interfere in that. It's up to them to upgrade via trades and free agency, and I'm kept busy enough with the draft once a season.
Anywho, on to the mess. Oh what a disaster. You've been warned.
