"Our League" Season 4--Who Wants To Play Our Way? - Page 32

Waffletown management is "burdened" with a happy dilemma.... who to play at short.... Trammell or Concepcion... Trammell has the superior offensive ratings... Concepcion better defensively.... if this were v21, I'd just move one of 'em to 2B and call it a day

going with Trammell for now

The initial target for my teams was to complete the Live missions, then work on my themes, but the prices for silvers has made that a bit untenable, so I think I will finish up the live missions that I am working on and then go for the themes. I am sure this will include dropping back some, but I think it will be more fun.

So, with the teams being split as they are, will there be no bronze crown this week?

That is the case. A league needs a minimum of 4 OL teams, with at least two of them playing at least 10 OL games for a crown to be awarded. Actually, there could be two bronze crowns if both leagues met the minimums.

I wasn't sure about the 4 team rule.

Rules are rules, but... Given that the Brewers and Tornadoes will both play enough games AND both have games against the Kings, I wouldn't complain if the OL community decided that one of them should get a crown.

The AC East should be fun to watch for the Mundys & Southpaws.

good luck fellas!

nice problem! Love/hate relationship with the position restrictions. love the added challenge, hate the frustration.

Forced to make change for the Grays.

Last season, Jeff Blauser was my ONLY shortstop. Ran him into the ground to the point he was kind of a zombie standing there. I didn't want to see that again, so I did pick up Tim Anderson (89) to take over the SS duties and Blauser will be backup. Hopefully this will help the team.

Isn't Tim Anderson a live card?

My 89 Tim Anderson card is.

Yeah, it has been painful. I bit the bullet with Texarkana last night and finished off my last 2, the Rockies and Dodgers.

It definitely is a live card. Therefore, the two games, April 13th and 14th, against the Cedar Rapids Reds will not be counted in the OL standings. Please remove him from your active roster. Thanks. Edit: I see you have a 2016 Tim Anderson on your roster. Is that whom you meant to use?

Nowhere continues to pull the worst diamonds.

that said, we'd like to welcome Watty Clark to the bullpen. with his limited arsenal & lack of control, he will get a look there before hasty decisions are made. We moved Will white to the pen after his Cy & it worked out pretty well - now hoping that placing Clark's locker next to his helps with the transition & Clark's mindset. it's a tough adjustment.

IanIachimoe · 04-19-2021, 05:43 PM

Nowhere also brought in Rafael Soriano to battle Jason Frasor for a setup role.

two 82 OVR pitchers battling it out for late innings is not ideal, but it is what it is.

Silly Mad Brewers, Paxville, and Texarkana appear to have landed in a BFF league. Going to be a tough season.

It's rough so far!

HRBaker · 04-19-2021, 06:41 PM

Yeouch!

That's what I get for trying to make a change in a hurry on my way out the door. I wish I could say I picked the wrong card, but the reality is I was rushing and looked right past it

Apologize to all for that error.

As mentioned, there are two games involved; Apr.13 and Apr.14 versus Cedar Rapids (bad timing too). I will save my OL changes for more appropriate time windows.

PS: Roster corrected.

No big deal. He was really off to great start, though.
