Hey can someone tell me where in game or where elsewhere I can get the report that looks like the quoted with Avg player value etc. along with projected wins? I'd love to see that for my new Bronze leagues.

Yesterday was bad going 11-15, but today is even worse with a 5-16 record. I guess it's time to waive the white flag on this season, try and shake things up a little, and at least avoid relegation.

The quoted looks like an excel spreadsheet someone put together. You can get the data by going to League > Statistics, Sortable Stats, select the fields you want to see, then Reports - Write Report to Disk. Then you can copy into excel and put something like this together.

First round of Fan All-Star Voting is in ... and the Greydudes have 5 players in the running!

I hear ya. My rebuild got into full swing today as I now have no 2018 Live cards left. It was a fun couple of days as I sold 80,000 points worth of cards, buying replacement players as I went. Oddly enough, I went 13-10 today with the lineup changing hourly at times. I am looking forward to seeing if this new team can get promoted. I only have two diamonds (Bob Gibson and Gavvy Cravath) but I do have 13 golds including 4 89's so there is some talent.

My pitching staff is struggling so badly.

Patrick Corbin has a 4.77 era
My Closer Keone Kela has an era of 7 after giving up 2 runs in each of his last 3 outings.

And I think there was a mention in another thread that a better catcher can improve your pitching. Well I went from a catcher with 68 catcher ability to one with a 90 catcher ability and my good pitchers are pitching worse.

Luckily my offense is keeping me around the .500 mark. I am 25 and 24 and still tied for first in my division

now you're in first by a game... I just swept a 3 game series against Hollywood (back-to-back shutouts

)

I just wish I could beat the teams in my own division (9-15 against them so far)... ah well... it's a long season

Morug · 12-11-2018, 11:10 PM

My Expos are on steroids, 17-5 to date this month and win all 3 series vs three of the best club of the conference. I look my club and nothing special compared to this clubs...Tim Wallach and Staub are on fire. They must be in contact with Barry Bonds doctor here lol.

Thanks. I will take all the help that I can get

As soon as I posted that this is what happened in the very next game. Just as I said, awful pitching but my offense kept me in the game. What a game it was
The amazing thing is we only had one homerun between the two of us.

Interestingly I seem to be gravitating away from the 2018 Live cards as well. Looks like I move 7 off my roster today, although I haven't gone on a selling spree yet, although I did sell off the last of my diamond. Hopefully I stopped the bleeding at least. I did get my least favorite achievement Out of Slump not once but twice this month.

Last year I had an ERA of 3.99 with a platoon of Scharber/Gary Sanchez behind the plate. This year I brought in Grandal with a 92 catcher ability, upgraded my rotation with Luis Tiant, and have an ERA of 5.65.

Congratulations! You beat up the old Geezers!

Thalion · 12-12-2018, 01:14 AM

Kushiel, your guys were on FIRE tonight!

18 in a row!! Wow! Congratulations!!

Kushiel · 12-12-2018, 05:52 AM

We finally got hot yesterday

I stopped experimenting early this season looking at changing players positions through playing them. I decided to go back to "Dance with the that brung ya."

I just got one today. 5 runs in the bottom of the 9th to win. Walk off grand slam by Ozzie Albies.

Germaniac · 12-12-2018, 03:55 PM

We keep winning a couple, losing a couple and on and on and on

So it was time to shake things up.

Gone are 2B Jose Altuve, 1B/3B Albert Pujols and SP Luis Severino

In comes 1B Prince Fielder and SP Lefty Grove while Paul Molitor will take over 2B

It's time to move on to some more Brewers and all-time favorites

BTW, we're stuck in the middle of the pack at 32-33

Westheim · 12-12-2018, 04:10 PM

I'm 19 games out in June.

I hold a wild card.

These two sentences CAN be true at the same time.

Orcin · 12-12-2018, 04:20 PM

Mike Trout is having a nice year for you.

Well, he is unambiguously the best player in the game right now.
