I give up. I think if you would READ my post that is exactly what I said. (“My stadium is not inclusive for HRs) and (For MY team for certain seasons like this season.) I can not help it that you are losing my friend. That is not my fault. I can only relate about my team that Clemente comes through while the Babe does not as a full time player FOR ME. I set my stadium up the last few years because of this. If he would have helped me win I would have left it alone or made it easier to hit home runs. But he did not .FOR Me. I was agreeing with two other people who posted they got rid of Ruth so I was commenting to them about what my thoughts of him was FOR ME. 🤯

I must be saying things totally wrong so let me explain who I am. I play to win. Anyway I can. You make the rules and I will follow them and then try to win in any way I can. Fix ballparks to my players. Sure. Try and get players that I think will win. Sure. Fix my lineup to road games. Sure .I could play in any league. I came here because I had close relation ships with a few people here. Then I found it was a very competitive league also. Better then some of the leagues I was in before and that made it more fun for me. I then started sharing the things I have learned. There is more to it then math in these players. I tried to share this with you because I do watch most of my games. (Which you could do also if you had the time) I also said (Which I believe) that I have a huge advantage because I have the time to do this and set lineups while you are at work. I was not trying to say I was a wonderful manager and had bad players and that is why I win. Of course I have good players. I pick them for that reason. If they are better that is wonderful because I play to win. If I have my ballpark set up the way it is there is a reason for that because I want a advantage while at home. It will change next year because I have discover another idea which I am going to try. I really thought we were all close here. I was just trying to share things that you did not have the time to find. I was not meaning to say I was better then anyone. In fact I thought I relayed the opposite by saying I had a huge advantage. But I guess my writing does not come through the way I intend it to so let me end this by saying. When I am in your league I will always play by the rules. When you beat me you have beaten the best I can do because I work hard on trying to win. That is what I do. I work constantly on trying to win. That is all I play for because winning is fun for me. That is why I liked this league. You made me change so much and made me try different things because it is very tough getting to the playoffs in this league. I thank you for this. I will not talk about things I think I see anymore because I am not getting it across the way I wanted it to come out. (Evidently with all this hate or disdain and that is my fault.) But Yes, I will do anything I can to win. That is what I do. I am not saying I am better then you at winning but I am saying I am trying to be. 😁

While I am at it (Being annoying by posting so much) Let me say in public (Because we have spoke out of the forum posts) how much I appreciate what you have done for me. You have truly helped make me a better player in this mode with your DBs and your ideas on them. I just wanted to say in public how cool you were to help in any way you could. You saw how I was and you stuck out your hand and said “Here will this help” and it did. Thank you so much my friend........what a Idiot I am, No wonder people don’t get what I say. I did not mention his name. Lol. Edit here it come.......Joe Hart , Thank you. Jeez it ain’t easy being old.

I tend to remember things a little differently. I think we tend to remember the losses more and you would seem to beat me at the worst possible time. You even cost me a Division one season by sweeping me in a September series like Dinzie did last season by taking 3 of 4 from me in late September when I was tied with the Breakers for the Division lead and never could recover. The Honor was all mine my friend. This league was truly a joy to play in because every damn series seem to matter. 😁

I think I will also stop posting here. If I say what I think, then I am accused of being a poor loser. Now I am accused of hate and disdain. Where did I say something hateful? I haven't insulted anyone or made any personal attacks on you or anyone else. If you can find those, please point them out so I can apologize. I will mind my own business so as not to upset the group for these last few days and then I will go back to pissing people off in other parts of the forum. |

I'll say it again, everyone is on edge! Holy cows....
Zorro, your posts are entertaining and I agree you are just sharing and trying to win. Sometimes the written word gets misunderstood and non-verbal queues can't be seen in a forum. No need to feel everyone is attacking you Zorro! In 95% of the cases that isn't the intent is my guess. Orcin, keep posting. I know it's a down year and not sure why we suddenly have this tense dynamic but I wouldn't pay attention. We have a great battle for the bottom going on and I'm sure the battle for the top is fun but from my basement position I can't see that high up. |

I am glad I made it into this fine group of managers even if only for the last week. I hope to meet up with some of you again in OOTP 20 (PT 2). I have learned a bunch just keeping up with this thread. I think I know how you feel based on what I am reading. Some egos here are just a little overblown!! ![]()

Wow, That is great I have never had a no hitter in any Mode I have ever played in OOTP. The longest for me was going into the 9th. I have always wanted to see one. (For my team of course)😁

I had one (my 3rd) but honestly don't remember who threw it. I'm still waiting for my first cycle, though.
As far as watching the games to seek out an advantage, I have the time but not the inclination to do so, nor the belief in that process. You, Zorro, have won more games total, but I have more championships and even division titles! ![]() |

I’m away from the game right now but pretty sure I had both a cycle and a no hitter a few years ago but need to check which team and players and if it was in this league.
