First time for this achievement for me... flyball triple play! Of course it was started by Willie Mays, who caught the line drive and threw it to Jackie Robinson doubling off the runner at second, then Robinson throws to first to get the runner there.
It is a gold achievement worth 2000 points. I don't know if a groundball triple play is worth the same because I've not had one of those either. |

Interesting that you had a .667 winning percentage in 1-run games because my team was .333 in those games and about one-third of our total games ended up as 1-run games. It was pretty rough.

Yeah, at least 2 of the 4 better seasons that I've had, I excelled in 1-run games... I noticed a 48-12 (.800) record in another season where I ended up 102-60 overall. Dreadful to mediocre in my mediocre (74-78W) overall seasons in 1-run games. Other things didn't go well in those seasons as well. Team chemistry is disabled but there still seems to be times when everything's clicking and times where everything is askew, at least here. And the schedule can be rough when you're in a division with 2 or 3+ wolves/whales and you play them frequently.
I only had about 67 more runs than I allowed last season but ended up 30 games over .500.

Slowly building up my managers team.
Missed out on Paul Molitor, but I did get Harvey Kuenn OVR 80 Now have four managers: Kuenn, Kirk Gibson, Davey Lopes and Bob Boone.

Since my last post I've gone on a bit of an acquisition spree. Picked up Mike Matheny to back up Boone, Phil "Scrap Iron" Garner and Marty "Slats" Marion. Plus some auction bids that will hopefully come good. I'm already thinking I may need to up it up to pitching coaches to fill out the pitching staff. And as/if this team climbs the ranks, I may need to make bench/hitting/base coaches eligible if I want to remain competitive. But for now, I'm not having any trouble finding players in bronze/silver who were managers and can help out a team in Iron at reasonable prices.

Nothing like kicking the day of sims off with an 8-game losing streak...gross. Can't even blame it on whales. My team just isn't getting it done.

I sure hope so.
It's all a matter of perspective. Last week the team was a game away from relegation. This week, relegation won't be an issue, but harder to make the playoffs when these types of losing streaks (fueled by 5 bullpen meltdowns) pop up.

Just played a crazy game against the Eugene Emeralds in P421.
He was beating me when my boys homered to the exact same spot in left center in three consecutive at bats including a 3 run homer to kick it off.

Started this season 20-0! Destined for the playoffs. Only to be swept by the wildcard again.: Then I will start a new post on how the playoffs are unfair or rigged.

I recall you switched up your focus last week (more heavily weighting defense, perhaps?); what sort of strategy are you implementing this week? Not that any strategy matters when your bullpen decides to play with matches...

This season is weird as hell. I built around defense this time around but I only have a 27-22,-5 Pythagorean, +68 run diff, 1st in conference in starter and bullpen ERA. And yet I am 2-12 in 1-run games, which is really wild.

This week, I figured if dropping the ballpark factors is bad, then maybe... So aside from homers which I've kept minimized to suit my slap-happy offense, I have all the other factors maxed out. Offense is doing fine, but the pitching on the other hand... We're not doing terrible though. Started off 15-12 on Monday and have crawled back to .500 after a dismal start today. Have played some pretty good teams, plus had a stretch of 40 games in 42 days, plus missed out on a couple of key auctions for big time SPs, plus have been in limbo with the bullpen. Eh, a combination of things. Some of the bullpen guys I was counting on ended up having prior stats, so I've been going with some 2nd tier pensmen (Jordan Hicks, Hersh Freeman, Shane Bieber) as I try to sell off the contaminated cards. In that stretch of 8 straight losses I mentioned earlier, the bullpen blew it in 5 of them so... I picked up 87 Keith Foulke and 96 Koji Uehara today so hopefully they can help out. I've had my eye on that Uehara for quite some time. Plus, the schedule is getting much more laden with off days so I'm dropping Scherzer into a super stopper role and going with a 4-man rotation. I think Mad Max will help out considerably as his stuff plays way up out of the bullpen. We'll see how it goes and thanks for asking!

That 96 Uehara is a very good card. He can get in a rut of giving up homers every once in a while, but otherwise he's a solid option out of the pen. Nice pickup!
