I'm glad the division was that tough. I wanted to see how my strategy would work against the 'ballpark' technique, and while I didn't get demolished, I certainly underestimated it.

And I think it's shown that both you and I can take out a whale unless the owner is really paying attention. The idea that PT Whales would mop the floor with everyone else seems unfounded.

In Rookie League Alpha Gamma, swept the division series against a strong wildcard team with a large stadium with 18' fences. Up 3-1 in the sub-league against a team that took 5 of 6 from mine in the regular season.

They just got swept in the sub-league series. Bring along 4 or 5 good right-handed hitters and an all-righthanded rotation, and they can be beaten at home. What's difficult is having a roster flexible enough to hang with both extreme lefty teams and extreme righty teams in the same playoffs. You need to have home field advantage for at least one of the series to have a good chance of advancing.

Nice job there.

Looks like there is another extreme righty team coming up. I'm just glad this nonsense is getting toned down next week.

FYI, fences are cosmetic. Home runs will still happen if they are 5 10 or 20 feet high.

I've been away from the boards for a bit and must've missed something - what are the updates happening in the reset that would affect park customization?

The range for the HR and AVG park factors will be reduced to 0.9 to 1.1

Gong to the finals

scott1964 · 11-25-2018, 08:42 PM

Series tied between us and the Kentucky Crowns.

1 to 1

Echo127 · 11-25-2018, 09:10 PM

Left my team on autopilot for most of the playoffs as I was busy today. Tune in just now and find I'm up 2-0 in the AA world series :-). Don't know what I'm doing, but it appears to be working. Also helps that I never got stuck in the same division as any whales

Did not know that, thanks!

Griffey756 · 11-25-2018, 09:46 PM

1 win away from clinching my 3rd straight championship! I've gotten insanely lucky with basic pack card pulls which has resulted in a few perfect 100's...pretty sure my luck will completely reverse once the beta ends though haha

Will_L · 11-25-2018, 10:12 PM

Went down in five games against the London Rippers in the Rookie League Series (AG)
Congrats to the Rippers!
Had a great glove catcher (T. Barnhart) and reliever of the year (Leclerc) who had a streak of 45 saves.

I made it to the conference finals where I lost to my division rival all season. It was nice to see the team with the best record, and all diamond and gold players, lose in the other conference finals to a team that had around 30 wins less then them. Still I'm satisfied with the performance of my team in their first year. But now the experiment is over, and the real challenge begins tomorrow, or whenever the real season officially starts.

scott1964 · 11-26-2018, 12:10 AM

Lost to the Kentucky Crowns 4games to 2

Echo127 · 11-26-2018, 12:33 AM

Won the Delta Tau AA World Series and I'm more excited than I should be considering its just a beta in a meaningless game.

noragar · 11-26-2018, 01:33 AM

Won the AA Alpha Tau World Series. Tried a maxed out hitters park just for kicks. No starting pitcher with an ERA below 4.30 and Gregory Polanco won the MVP as a platoon outfielder (478 PA with a 1.041 OPS and 5.1 WAR)

Germaniac · 11-26-2018, 02:24 AM

What should I say - we upset the league's powerhouse, the Alboran Wolf, who won 127 regular season game before sweeping the Division Series, only to fall to a Wild-Card theam from the NC, the Bradenton Bombers, winners of 92 regular season games, in the championship series
