Season 10 (2028) Discussion: 2/4/19-2/10/19

It did not look like anyone created a thread yet.

I think I have one team in silver and two in gold this time around after one of my team should have been relegated from Diamond.

I am actually thinking about rebuilding the team that was just relegated

[DonkeyKongSr]

It's season 10...

[Maddox]

Yeah, I caught that and fixed it and the year. It has been a few weeks since I created one. I am rusty.

[DonkeyKongSr]

Anyone ever had schedules that look like this? I don't remember any non-All Star break of more than 1 day in previous, and I've got 3 huge ones. I'll see if I can take advantage of all the rotation reset opportunities to squeeze out a few more starts from my best guys. The same team is getting my top guys all 3 times, too, so this is really weird.

The schedules are based on real historic MLB schedules, right? I'm sure we can do some cyber sleuthing and figure this one out.

Second question, does anyone know if there's anything that I can check to tell if I'm Hit & Running too much, other than reviewing game logs? Caught Stealing, especially non-base stealers, would help spot those guys that are thrown out on a blown HnR, but not perfectly correlated.

Juneau Huskies (D355) 5-0 Last season was our first season @ Diamond, and we were only able to buy Carlos Delgado (87) and Whitney Ford (86) to improve the roster. However, we managed to finish 91-71 to qualify for the playoffs. Unfortunately, we lost in WC after Sean Doolittle gave up a grand slam in the 9th.

This season I prioritised a replacement for Andy Pettitte who is a RHP. Therefore, my PP was spent of Stephen Strasburg (89) which now gives me a rotation of Ford (89), Strasburg (89), Spahn (86), Dieker (83) and Anderson (83). I had the worst AVG in the conference and with only outfield upgrade being Simmons (79) for Belanger (60), I expect the same again this season. Finally Elmer Riddle (84) has came in to takeover Long Reliever duties from Craig Swan.

If you are a Mariners fan with a fat wallet, now is the time to build your All-Mariners team...

[joehart]

Nice catch about Mariners...

We may be in the area and try to catch 50-60 games but this is a bit too much for Edgar. Feel like this is the same card that popped up yesterday...sold for mid 300s and is now listed at 400K. Buyers remorse (not enough against RHPs?)

It is pretty hard to build a great Mariners team that can be competitive in the highest league. Felix, Paxton, ...who else?
It seems we are missing some more SP alternatives.
2014 Iwakuma with his 1.1 BB/9.

I like the Redsox theme teams that are very competitive.

G301 for the Hoggs and a 1-4 start to the season.

In 2 games have had all 7 relievers appear, which is likely to do with my setting the entire bullpen to specialists first, relief roles second. Not sure how I feel about that.

Radatz is again sucking.

Matchup between the Bears and the Bears.

[Izz]

1-5 and the specialist experiment is ended. Don't think I have the cattle for it, and all bar one of my relievers is tired.

OK, wait... Someone else used the same logo and team name?! Or did your team figure out how to replicate?

Of course, it's likely I was being too hasty in switching back; pretty much all my relievers have been very unlucky... Anyway, Whitey Ford throws 8 shutout innings in a 6-0 victory to give my pen some rest.

No different person. What are the odds? I also logged it in the bug section.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Nice to log in and find all three teams in last place, including the one that lost in the 7th game of the series last year, as a wild card. Wish they'd have stayed in Silver.

They are the Borg Bears, resistance is futile.

[Morug]

Funny, in my Expos team diamond league, a guy have a club with historical Blue Jays players...So Expos vs Blue Jays with historical players...hope I can win the duel between two Canadian clubs.

[DonkeyKongSr]

Well, that was a quick hook for my Greg Maddux. I'm not sure why. I checked all his settings and there's a 4 day break there, so he should have been fine to do a full start, not 2 outs.
