Remarkable Losing Streak
A team in my Perfect League finished with a 90 game losing streak! After starting the year 20-42, the wheels came off. They finished 103 games out of first.
One pitcher put up an astounding 25.00 ERA. This would be hard to accomplish even if you were trying. |

Query:
Playing for that massive "end a losing streak" PP reward and forgot to log a win in the final week? The only pitcher I can imagine a 25 ERA for is Sale (triple curse: live, lefty, crappy MOV). Last edited by Lemandria; 01-19-2020 at 10:33 AM. |

I guarantee that he was not only tanking but playing untrainable guys wildly out of position. Good PP boost for everyone in his division, I suspect.

I don't know, there was a team with all mid-bronzes, historicals, not exactly the worst players ever...(not a great team) but...in Perfect? They could have lost 90 ...well, maybe not 90 in a row... BUT they were something like 5-60 or worse to start the season.
A legit attempt at an iron themed hero team in perfect only went 11-66 & despite expansion the competition hasn't got much if any easier. I claimed it was proof that a team might make an honest effort in Perfect & still want to tank to diamond.

I currentky have an FTP playing their first yoyo PeL season (never should have made it out of diamond). Trapped in the same division with this particular league's Big Guns, we're doomed to lose at least a hundred). I took the opportunity to get some cross-training time. So we might lose 120, instead. Maybe this remarkable losing streak is due to a guy reaching the same kind of conclusion and training his fielders. P.S. Betts is rated about 60 in center, currently. We've won 12 through May.

I went back and looked and he put all his good diamonds etc. on reserve. The team was full of 40s and 50s players, none out of position though.
It just seemed to me that even with a team like that you'd luck into a 4-3 win once. |

I expect that they gave up points at a higher rate once they started tanking, but even diamonds can leak points like a sieve. I'd be curious to know how the average points surrendered changed.
