You mean sometimes just letting your best players play and not overmanaging can work?

It's kind of amazing to me that my teams are even in perfect, but it looks like both of them are going to be relegated this year. Both my teams are worth so much less than most others from the last 5 auction prices totals. The Seals are worth 166K, the Tattered Gloves are 102K. To be an average team, I'd only have to spend another $100-200. But it would be so much worse in an uncapped league.

Nope, That could never work for Zorro. Thanks to his wonderful wife there is a thing called a seven day lineup. I can’t watch every game but she is willing to go over every series with me and set a seven day lineup. Now the good news, My right hand is starting to work ( I am actually writing this) so now I will Be Back soon hogging up the text with my nonsense. But never let it be said that I just sat back and let you guys run over me by not tinkering a bit. You are all to good for that. You have the advantage of your spreadsheets to help you out and I have the advantage of time to analyze each series and that makes for a wonderful competitive league. In fact I even cheat by a couple of you giving me info in the wonderful spreadsheets some of you have made. (Like Joe Hart and NYY23). So never fear, When you beat me you have beaten the real Zorro and not some robot. I might be a little debilitating but I am still around my friends, Lurking in the shadows and loving the option of the 7 day lineups and a good wife. See you soon.😁

Your wife is a saint, Zorro.

I believe you make your own luck my friend. Ride a good streak and change a bad one. Sometimes it might be impossible to stop a bad streak but you can try and make it a less of one. Or definitely not as many .

Yes, I am gifted. I am writing this but she has done everything including helping me analyze my team for the last week and she hates baseball and wonders why this is so important to me when she says I should be resting. She is a real angel.

A good character hiding in the shadows - CHECK

A beautiful wife helping him - CHECK

His wife not understanding why he focuses so much time pursuing heroics. - CHECK

The story of the fictional character Zorro and his wife Elena.

Glad to hear you are recovering.

Every time I change something in my lineup or pitching assignments, my entire team goes into a funk and loses 10 straight. If I ran my team like you run yours, tinkering with the lineup and roster for each series, I would never win a game.

zrog2000 · 03-01-2019, 09:59 AM

I don't have any changes to make so it's easy to sit here in last place with my two teams fighting to not finish worst.

13 of the AC's All Star players are on my team!

Unfortunately only one of them is my particular copy of said player....

sharpk23 · 03-01-2019, 10:38 AM

Zorro's win streak has to end at some point right???? Definitely has been a fun league. Looking forward to the next few days when I can actually tweak my lineup some more and do 7 day lineups without being stuck at work for long periods of time. Have some big games this month and next month with the mighty Zorro's

Every season I say to myself that I am not touching anything. Then mid-May comes and I can't help myself and say, oh look, Ramirez is having a bad season, I think I'll bench him and put someone else in.

Now I've got nine guys having a bad season.

Good to see you around, and to see the update from your wife yesterday. You do have a good one if she's making changes to your lineup for you!

Glad your hand is feeling better and you'll be back soon too.

Well I just looked and my streak ended in a BIG way. My wife said one more day in bed and then I can go back to watching. (She is the boss) I do have a huge advantage over people that work. I admit that. I would be relegated back to the gold league if I had to work like you guys do. She let me make one more seven day lineup and now that I can write and move my arm very well, I am going to try and sneak watching later. I already told her to go out to dinner with her friends and I would pay since she was saddled with me for three days. I hope she takes me up on it so I can sneakily watch my team and hope it can grab a playoff spot. I hate having Wilmington in my Division because he is better then me and either way if I am lucky enough to make the playoffs it appears I would have to play him as a Wild card or if I am a wild card I would have to win the WC game and then play him. I think he will win the Division so I am screwed against any Wild card team I would play. (Even if I am lucky enough to grab a spot.)This league is to damn good.😁

I looked at the 7 day lineup once ... and I was just like ... nopeeeeeeeeeee... looked like to much work for me ... I probably would of messed it up to the point of having an all pitcher outfield ... so I give you props on using that ... I leave my fate to the ootp gods and hope for the high rolls during the day

Same. Although an all-pitcher outfield could easily have matched my regular lineup on its current 13-game losing streak. And counting.

That losing streak on its own hurts, but coupled with the Dragons killing it during the streak is crazy

Well I got 250 PP for breaking the streak, so that makes it all worth it...
