Nice Start

This game is so much more fun when you have a 40-12 start to your fictional league season

Whoa!. That is Nice.
If you don't mind sharing, in your fictional league(s), what has been ANY Team's best start overall? Is there one/any better than your 40-12 start or within the first 50 games of the season?

Notice, by the way (since I was in the same situation recently), how HAPPY everybody is? Start the "Expects top of the lineup" guy in the #8 slot. No problem! Take your best starter and put him in the bullpen. That's a great idea, OK! Shop your superstar around the league several times, then demote him to AAA, bring him back up, demote him again, and bring him back again. Gee, thanks for that, you're a great boss!

My fictional league is a mixture real MLB names and fictional Canadian city teams, all fictional players. I've seen no other starts like this in four years. Funny thing tho, the Cleveland Indians are doing the same. I am now 45-13 in the National League Central and Cleveland is 42-14. We both have a 12 game lead over second.

Managing the games or just simming?

Managing. One game at a time. I prefer pitch by pitch. I find it more in depth.

Curt has the Gold Eye so far!

92 wins 38 losses now, early September. The Yankees have the same record. I'm only 7 games up with a pesky Cardinals team on my heals in my NL Central.

Finished 108-54. Playoff bound, full of injuries

curt · 06-13-2017, 06:11 PM

I'm out. Lost to the Cardinals in 4 games, 3-1. &%^$@@_)(###**

Ouch. That's a tough break. Hopefully you can make your team a little stronger for next season, and get some help from the DL gods.

41 and 9 is best start in real life ....ouch to be that close

curt · 06-14-2017, 06:46 PM

I was the best team all year. What a bad break. #1 starter went out at the end of September with a 8 month injury. #2 starter is a clone of David Price in the playoffs. Pulled him early in 2 games (he led the league in ERA). Lost 3 other top players with injuries extending past the playoffs.

Have to let some guys go now as free agents because budget is maxed out. Semi rebuilding for next season. This game is to realistic.
