Will probably move Carew 82 from 2nd to leadoff in the order, and drop Betts in to bat 2nd behind him.

That is my RF platoon. It is very good for me over the seasons. I have Mookie in left.

Noooooooo!

Cant believe it came down to 163

Cant believe I got slaughtered in that game

Best of luck vs BUTTS x6

Good luck to all the playoff teams today until if/when you play me. I will still wish you lots of luck in our game... all bad.

Seriously, I enjoyed playing with you all this season. I hope your next pack pull is a perfect!

After barely missing the playoffs, with my offense leading the league in HR and Ks (literally 1-2 more strikeouts per game than most teams) I'm selling off a good chunk of my offense in a semi-rebuild. No more high power, low Avoid K guys that struggled. Bye Mickey, Duke, Jimmie, and Vern. Going to focus on Contact and Avoid K to put more balls into play.

The Butts won their 10th straight 4-2 in 10 innings. Had a great time with all of you folks this season, hope to have as much fun in Orcin's PL next.

Good luck to everyone who's still in it today.

Too bad. I was rooting for you. Now I'll root for anyone to beat the sun dogs

joehart · 01-27-2019, 01:47 PM

Wow...I can't believe I actually pulled off 2 wins back to back against Sun Dogs.
Now all I want for Christmas is one more win!!! I have three chances to get that third win and move on.

I had to double check Ordonez one more time.

In the three Perfect leagues that I have seen the 91 card, I have only seen him with ok stats: .265 AVG, 12 HR, 34 BB, 1.3 WAR

I really need to find a way to calculate defensive stats into the overall projected formula to better gauge some players.
I like Griffey....hard not to when you live on the west coast.

Holy crap, you took down the King. Awesome!

Your reward: Pedro #2. You already beat #1. You can do it again.

joehart · 01-27-2019, 02:52 PM

I am not sure I have that much luck in one season. I need a lot more fingers crossed :-)

Yeh I've seen similar stats to that for Ordonez as well, hard to judge how they'll do in a L/R platoon though. I've also looked at 87 Sheffield instead of Ordonez

joehart · 01-27-2019, 03:33 PM

I never owned the Sheffield card and it looks like I never saw him in a Perfect league either.

The results for Diamond and Gold are hit and miss. It looks like in one platoon situation, he still produced a 1.5 WAR so that seems promising if you can find a matching platoon that adds similar results. You may have to pray that these stats translate to Perfect league level.

I am still stuck on the Gwynn card, it was so dominating in Diamond that I kept it for Perfect and it still produced great results. But I have a goal to focus on Stealing bases so it is very hard to find power+speed+good base running. I may be stuck with the 87 Gwynncard and use the 84 Tim Rains Sr in LF. Both have 85 Defense.

Hopefully I see you in the mini-whale league so I can keep an eye on your experiments in the outfield.

Wow...you called it. Two more wins on days when Pedro was pitching.
Now off to face Yaks (0-3 against them) or B6x (1-2 against them).

I am very glad that you made it. Sorry I cannot throw all those perfects at you that your team is all primed up for. I kinda doubt I will sweep you again, but I will be trying to win

Your speed gives me a different problem than most teams trying to light my pitchers up. It will be fun and exciting I am sure.

joehart · 01-27-2019, 07:16 PM

There are few teams that I like...you have one of them.
It is not easy to find those 95/96 Greinke/Kershaw/Harvey cards.
Same with your batters...great defense and I like the Molina catcher card.

I hope we have a long series....

Clavette · 01-27-2019, 08:05 PM

Kushiel has a lot of those rare really good diamonds

Kushiel · 01-27-2019, 08:18 PM

Great series so far tied at 1-1. I will not be able to check in on it again tonight regretfully. I love playing well managed teams with their own identity and you have one with the Base Stealers. Hopefully my catchers can continue to slow you down on the bases. I am enjoying it and think it will continue like the first two games.

Its been a great league everybody and I had fun even when I was 27-27 the first two months

joehart · 01-27-2019, 09:50 PM

You are missing out on a good series. Maybe you can check the forum on your phone.

You took game 3 (8-4) with a 9 inning game from Walter Johnson. My team fell apart after 3 innings (Blanton 96) and I had to send in 6 relievers trying to finish the game.

Game 4 went the other way. BaseStealers won 9-3 with great pitching from Pedro Martinez (96) while your 96 Greinke gave up 6 runs in 7 innings.

Clearly neither of the teams can decide what they want to do.....we each keep winning by 4+ Runs every other game.

Clavette · 01-27-2019, 09:52 PM

Close series. Not close games. Crazy

joehart · 01-27-2019, 10:12 PM

The Jaks win game 5 (7-3) and need just one more game to get the trophy.
Once again, a Jaks pitcher goes for 9 innings while Harvey gives up 5.
Next up 96 Kershaw vs 95 Christy Mathewson.....

Sadly, Base Stealers have 3 batters that are cold at the wrong time of the year.
