But of course he has every right to collect a team like that

wow, He does have one great team....

That's even a little better than my whale. Hopefully, he doesn't see this and want to add on a couple of pounds of blubber to beat your guy on paper.

That is the only gold achievement I have earned so far and it was earned by my bronze catcher.

Does anyone know what the Upset Win achievement is? I received 100PP for beating a team 11-1. They were 36-20 at the time and I was 24-31.

You suck, they're good, and you beat them by 10+ runs

Matt Arnold · 12-05-2018, 05:01 PM

So what can I do to kickstart my Roger Maris? Somehow I don't think a .140 batting average and an OPS around .500 is going to cut it...

If you don't know how jumpstart someone then I certainly don't.

The only answer I have is Patience and Faith

have a heart-to-heart talk with him and reassure him the PT Babe Ruth fans won't boo him/heckle him if he hits 61 home runs

At least I know what I should expect. My team has the best batting average in the conference at .292 and every reliever I've tried is terrible.

I bench them for a day or two to show them who's boss.

Anyone else in the league with my Area X Warlocks? We were looking pretty good last night when I went to bed...

He's acting alot like my Willie McCovey. Ole stretch is hitting below the Mendoza line.

Hey I'm not sure if I've got a glitch or if I'm the worst manager of all time. Like 7 of my hitters are exhausted at 0% and I've sent down pitchers to bring up other guys to rest them but even after 2 days rest they're still exhausted. I was in first, now I'm almost 4 games out because all my hitters are exhausted all the time even though I'm resting them. Has anyone else had this issue? Am I doing something wrong somehow? Is there a better thread for me to write this in?

Also AJ Minter has been TERRIBLE!!! He walked 5 guys in one game and set a new team record. Judge has turned bad, everyone's been bad for me this season after the first simulated month.

Put Mantle hitting next to him in the lineup. It worked for the Evil Empire back in the day

My Minter's running a 1.07 ERA, so I think you're just hitting some bad luck.

You'd think hitting in front of Gehrig would be enough for him. And it's not just LOOGY's killing him, as he has a .483 OPS against righties with 4 HR in 133 PA. I'll throw him behind Ohtani in the depth charts for a few days, maybe that will wake him up.

Well it's more than bad luck to have seven guys all listed as exhausted. I rested them all another day, now their backups are getting tired. It makes no sense. Gary Carter, Aaron Judge, Joey Votto, Ozzie Albies, Doug DeCinces, Didi Gregorius AND Lorenzo Cain all exhausted no matter how much rest i give them? I think I have a virus or something more than "bad luck," you know? How is this even possible? SEVEN guys at 0% game after game after game? Can one of the programmers please tell me if this is possible?
