P413 Season 13 2031 mini-whale league

Orcin · 02-25-2019, 08:18 AM

It worked!!!!

Point audit to come, but we all know we are good by now.

The seeding fairy didn't do me any favors by stashing me with Bob's Burgers and Dunzie Gold and... what am I saying... there are NO easy divisions in this great league.

I am glad that it is working for y'all and that you are having a great time with it. It is all about the fun.

FYI the Saint Paul Fighting Saints have close to 15 diamond cards on their roster along with multiple golds. It's my first time in this kind of league but it's over the limit, no ?

Let me check, that's my team.

edit: I believe I am right at 50.

Nice to see it work with every team this week! Glad to be back. Today will be an interesting experiment to see how a four game rotation works in this league since I didn't get a chance to change it from the playoffs before work. Hopefully that doesn't put me in an early hole.

Good luck everyone and let's have a great season.

14 diamonds @ 3 each = 42 + 8 golds @1 each = 50, so he's good.

He has no perfects... all clear at 50.

Wow! I was thinking that joining this league would be easier for my team to have success, but most teams look stronger (ie. more balanced and well-built) than my previous season in Perfect.

Have fun killing my team this week!

It's a tough league. Are you Quebec? They have a real low point total, amazing they have reached the top. There are some great gold players and they have several.

You got to Perfect with this team. It must be good.

I am, yes. I thought my roster was good...until I looked at yours and the other teams in our division. Didn't even bother to check the rest of the league!

I can attest to that. I went from a Perfect League where I achieved best regular season record and a Perfect Series win in the same week to being accidentally placed with 29 teams in this league. I didn't become aware of it until the Playoffs began, so they were all frustrated I wasn't playing by the same rules... I think I began with 93 points by their system, or something like that.

But it's a tough league, especially for a team built to beat "typical" Perfect Level teams. You really need to re-tool your pitching staff. I went from 111 wins down to 91, and that's without reducing to the cap that I wasn't aware of. Many of them spend a lot of time fine-tuning their teams, at least compared to how few seem to do that in other leagues.

Good luck, they're a fun group. I'd have stayed with them and reduced down to the cap, but I'm not looking for competition at that level of difficulty.

I'm anxious to see how my team does this season. This sounded like a great challenge and I was curious how I would do in a league like this. I'm anxious to see how each team looks once I get home late tonight (Monday is long work day for me). Wondering how many perfects were kept on each team. I went with only one (George Brett). I have lots of options on my reserve roster to make some fun changes if need be. Should be a fun year. Last year I won my division with 102 wins and really didn't have much fun (the prior two years were great when I was in a discord league with lots of friends)

Well, you are off to a good start by pummeling me in your first two games. Ease up a bit, will ya?

Most teams have 1 or 2 perfects, but several teams don't have any.

My Mike Trout is finally off to a fast start.
