My Great Lake Squirrels have been an all-righty team from the start, and I have had plenty of success.

I try to play with the individual strategy sliders.... if they are top notch base-running instincts, then they get a more aggressive setting (and vice versa).... poor bunting/sacrifice ratings, crank those down to never.... etc...
so far this season my bunch ranks 1st in runs scored (732) and 1st in baserunning (+40.6) |

Here we go. A good one but not even close to some of the mega whales around.

That's a real solid team. I only have on of your hitters, Pudge.

Too wrap it all up
With all the different replies this thread is getting mean that nobody really knows. Because what happens against 1 team doesn't mean it'd happen against all teams. Using same setting I can clobber Scherzer one game & against same team the next day get shutout with 2-3 hits by Tyler Anderson the next day. Or vice versa. My only bit of advice is try to go with what works the best, but problem with that is what works 1 game might not work for the next 4-5 games. POT LUCK

And for the record, the last time I tailored my park for an all-lefty low power team I had a home winning percentage of just a hair over .400 with a .550 road percentage. The only thing we know is that you never know.

I hadn't thought of this but there was a team that was just obnoxious with stealing bases I played against. They attempted an AVERAGE of 4 (3+) steals a game...ended up getting thrown out (CS) about 163 times on the season (1x per game) but ended up with about 370-375 successful swipes.
I threw them out sometimes but to have the guys take off during every AB was just...disruptive, and you'll almost always be able to steal (with at least a little thought put into it) at at least 60% even in a league of good catchers. So if 40% is a great OBP then why not try turning a single into a double, double into a triple, even if you get thrown out. Made me feel like it was a smart gamble, maybe, either way to steal about as often as possible. And you certainly don't need that guy standing on 1st if possible in terms of the GIDPs (grounding into double plays).

And that's good. If there's one proven way to do something, then everyone will do that and it gets boring. Also, this is a sim game so anything can happen, but the core idea is to give yourself the best odds. It's like poker or card games, no one wins forever but the best wins more than others. One can make the best decisions and still lose, but that doesn't discredit the best decisions that have made. |

It's nice to share but if we all share and there's an element of poker/chess to managing & general managing then things could indeed get boring if too many don't maintain a poker face...(long as they're cooperating when it comes to rules.)
"You can learn a lot just by observing." This is a pretty random observation itself. Obviously sometimes, we need to & it's great to help each other except if it makes strategies a team make-ups a bit monotonous or repetitive, when you can always go about it in your own way & end up about where you belong anyway.

I think righty is much harder to make work, but also much harder to take down once it gets going since the RvR matchup is a lot more favored for the hitter than LvL. You can't just set max gap, max vR con, and min everything else like you see with successful lefty teams. What's your gap vs. pow split look like? Platoons? How do you run suppress other teams even in a pro-R park which lots of other teams will benefit from?
I'm not saying my righty team answers these questions, but they certainly need answers.

Another vote for max'ing for doubles and triples. You likely have a strong OF and hitters with good GP and not a lot of POW, so I think max'ing gap and minimizing HRs is the way to go.
Are you hitting into a lot of double plays? Your team probably isn't actually that fast, and although they're different in the details your hitters probably share a pretty similar profile (GP > BABIP > Eye & Avoid K > POW). Unfortunately, there aren't really high OBP options, and that would really play to your strength. I'd experiment with the lead off spot rather than just giving it to Cool Papa Bell (not assuming you are though). It's easy to beat his defense, he's not great on getting on base, and there are plenty of people that could use him as a pinch runner. John O'Neil v L and Pete Hill v R are interesting lead off choices imo. I'd also manically tweak the hit and run sliders for each player. |

The Newton Dragons overrun this list, but can't get out of iron, while the Hong Kong Nationals routinely steal over 500 bases per season in Perfect Leagues, but there is no way to know % success.

You just need one of the HK Nationals leaguemates to check on his stats.

I mean sometimes what you read can make a ton of sense but if you stick to 80%+ to rigidly you may not be able to steal a key base in a 1-run game, etc. … I would say you are failing if you aren't succeeding at a 66%+ rate. That's just...a feeling but a true one. Succeeding if you steal a ton and keep it generally at 2 of 3 or better. This is what happened. I played a team last season and part of what they did to beat me was steal ALL the time. When I checked their stats at the end of the season they were what they were. Like I noticed the stealing before I got into %s. Their 2 out of 3 with a total of 2 per game was successful at least against me. I'm sure they ran themselves out of at least a few games during the season or maybe even in the playoffs. It does cost you an out and a baserunner but I'm not sure following a strict statistical guide is realistic if you have another idea. If you don't, I'd shoot for 70%, and almost a SB a game at least.

Any update from Cheesehead? Were you successful or continued to struggle?

Just kinda strikes me as funny. Maybe it has something to do with the nature of baseball. And me.
