Pontiac Starchiefs(F2P) 82.2 OVR

Time marches on as the Starchiefs continue their sub-.500 play. It's too late to expect any significant turnaround, so management will wait until the end of the season to consider any AH additions. The team should have about 4000 APs to use by that time.

In retrospect, I think I made some bad choices with this team, going for on-field improvements rather than solidifying the pitching staff. That mistake will take time to fix at this point.

Chandler Electrics(P2P, Total Cash Investment $100., Spent) 93.6 OVR

Chandler is going to benefit from the Early Game rules to promote 12 teams to the Perfect Level. That WILL tend to make the Electrics a punching bag next season, but we should also have about 10,000 APs to spend before we get started. The question is, can we be smart on our choice(s).

(Suggestions welcome LOL)

Pontiac Starchiefs(F2P)

The Starchiefs start over in G328, currently at 14-11 and in 2nd Place. RP Dellin Betances was added tot he Bullpen (slowly trying to replace our remaining Silver level players). The team only has 3 Diamonds and still carries 11 Silvers, so improvements will be slow in coming.

The Electrics missed out on promotion to Perfect by being the last team to TIE for a promotion spot and lost it - to a team we never played. Unfortunately, that was also the last time 12 teams will get promoted to Perfect, so we're going to toil in Diamond for awhile. We added Dizzy Dean (94) to the pitching staff and took a chance on opening some packs - and lost, so fingers crossed as we take on 2023.

PT19 Flashback!
Oakridge Hawks Make It To Perfect!

After 11 seasons (6 in Diamond), 3 World Series wins, and a 1123-686 overall record, my original team finally made it to Perfect. Eventually winning here would be nice - but GETTING here is a proud day

Pontiac Starchiefs(F2P)

There's little room for error when playing a F2P team. The general consensus is it adds a few season to your climb to Perfect (if you get there). The Starchiefs are an example. Currently 70-63 in Gold, in its 5th season, and little hope to move into Diamond any time soon. The pitching side of the equation is where the team needs the most help, but the lack of APs will make that a long term goal.

Chandler, on the other hand, is fighting it's way to Perfect. 81-52 in Diamond and currently qualified for a Promotion, the team is favored to make Perfect in it's 6th season. The biggest question will be if we can make any improvements before we meet the Pod of Whales.
