Also pulled a rookie Frank Robinson, not good enough for my 'regular' team, but hopefully can use it once tournaments/collections begin.

He lost a game late last night but the win streak made it to 41 straight. That's the longest streak that I have seen in Perfect leagues in 19 or 20. |

I sold Carrasco this week for 7,777 PP. He is one of those diamond pitchers that just keep getting blown up. Same with Gerrit Cole... in 19 and 20.

I can say Carrasco has been pretty effective for me out of the pen in long relief.

Agree with the comment....would be nice to see you there as well. If you hurry, we will both get out of entry league by next week.

If you all want to be in OL by next week, get into the entry pool right now. The other managers need time to friend you two so you two get pulled into the OL league.

...and again it's all gone. The useless Raccoons are 4-11 in August, seven of the losses by a single run, and have turned a 2 1/2 game lead in a 6 1/2 game deficit. No matter which guys I add, they always stink.
(sigh)

The Frogs (65-68) have picked a troubling time to turn cold as they lost the last 5 sims of the evening. With the team continuing to be almost glued to .500, another team made a move and knocked the Frogs out of the 2nd wild card lead. The Stellenbosch Maties are 22-9 since August 1st while the Frogs are 14-17 over that same time period. Meaning, the Frogs will now have to chip away at a 4 game deficit in order to make the playoffs in P411. All 3 divisions (Marshall Cardinals, Winterfell Direwolves, and Evergreen Forest Raccoons) were decided long ago; the Cleveland Crushers have a 16-game lead on the top wild card spot.
Unrelated...has anyone ever tried a 1-man starting rotation? The idea I had would be to keep pulling a guy off the reserve roster and plugging him in as the only starter. The upside is you'd free up a few more roster spots for platoons/bullpen. The downside is you'd probably need to have 14 really good starters to even consider this otherwise you are using your best starters about 1/3 as often. This is probably a terrible idea for those with huge multi-thousand PP investments in the top 5 pitchers in the game, but might make more sense for teams with an array of ho hum gold/diamond starters where there's not much separation. EDIT: Now that I think about it more, the need to swap in a new starter for every simulation would basically make this totally impractical--you'd need to be able to script a days' worth of roster moves somehow. Anyhow, I am thinking of ways to get creative with my pitching next season because they are suffering at Perfect level.

It's still partly doable though. You can run the kind of rotation when you are on the PC, and then just switch back to a typical 5 man when you are off.

You see some crazy rotations in the Perfect league playoffs like 3 starters with no stamina or pitch count set to 1 pitch (and 6+ long relievers to face the opposite of your batters).
I have not seen a 1-2 man rotation but I guess it may be feasible if you have all starters in the bullpen and little to no platoon rotations for your batters. I have only seen these rare rotations with high end starters in the bullpen. So not really something that helps the regular roster.

Any reason to not use Opener/Follower for those kind of setup? "Manipulated" Starter into Bullpen is easier to do?

The workaround that I (and others) have seen is to put one handedness of pitcher in as the starter and give them a minimal pitch count. Then load up the bullpen with opposite handed long relievers. By doing it this way, your opponent would have to copy/paste their lineups around in order to counter and get the platoon advantage on the follower.

The Raccoons continue to cruise along at a .722 clip (+338 RDiff, 2nd best). We've done well against the top teams so far, winning 3 of 4 from a team who's pitching staff is Young, Maddux, Martinez, Schilling and Brown (all 100's). We're leading the Cleveland Crushers (15 perfects, 13 of them historicals) by 11 games. Oddly, the team has had 3 irons on their team all season, but they've hardly been used at all so they're just taking up space.
This month we'll have a 4 game series against Winterfell which should be interesting. They have the best record in the league (we're #2) so it will be interesting to see how we fare against them. Quote:
I think you have a pretty good team. Maybe you've just had some bad luck lately? I'm not sure if I want to root for your guys though since they gave us such a hard time.

I only had 1 team in PT19 and I'm finding it really hard to pay attention to a 2nd team in PT20. I keep forgetting that I even have this 2nd team.
My neglected ftp team, the Mammoth Mudhens made it to the bronze playoffs last year without me. This year, they're leading the division (in bronze) with a .586 record. They've now accumulated 21k PP and so soon, I'll be able to have some fun on the AH upgrading multiple positions. I don't want to do any upgrades until I have enough PP to have lots of choices so I'll probably wait a little longer - maybe next season, I don't know.

My goal on PT 2.0 was just one team since I have limited computer time and any money I spend just be one team instead of 2 or 3. But I played with park factors for righties and lefties. Now I have 3 teams in 2.0 and 3 in 1.0. . I just can’t handle this! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
