Can we rename the position DH to Trog Bat in game?

I'll look!

5-1 week for the Ice Castles. NEW BUMS better than OLD BUMS!

I'm pretty sure Maeda was already wrecked. His injury history is a mile long.

He was labelled fragile, but yeah, he was destined to spontaneously combust at some point.

Was he on a pitch count? cc: @Gooksta

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Man that time I had a guy blow out his arm in Spring Training and Gooksta blames it on pitch count when the injury happened in the first inning.

 

[hayvis]

He was a middle reliever. Only had about 5 innings under his belt. I think @jdlikewhoa traded him to me knowing he would implode.

 

[Travis7401]

Did he have low adaptability?

 

[hayvis]

Did he have low adaptability?

Seeing as he couldn't just get on with it and use his other arm, the answer would be yes.

 

[hayvis]

@Travis7401 - Is it possible we could get your draft analysis sooner rather than later? I can't make head nor tail of it, and I imagine you have seen this kind of pool before, and could give some helpful pointers as to what you're looking for (and therefore what to look for). I've not seen anything like it before and my head gets fried every time I try to make a draft list.

 

[Orlando]

I have a guy with high adaptability, but his description says “gets frustrated easily.”

He is very adaptable in the number of things that he gets frustrated by!

Maybe he gets frustrated easily but has learned persistence and works through it

Maybe if he tried fewer things, he'd get less frustrated!

I'll put up a draft thread and a poll to see if a LIVE DRAFT is in the cards.

 

[Karl Hungus]

I'm going to sim in the next hour or so.

 

[Yankee151]

5 of Fortaleza's last 9 games involve one team scoring more than 11 runs

 

[Travis7401]

Rubber band snapped back, got swept by UK, woof.

 

[Wolfman21]

Im surprised we are 10-15 with as bad as weve been stats wise.

 

[Wolfman21]

And how the hell is false bay 8-17 with 8 of the top 40 players in the league?

Flew too close to the sun

 

[Mr. Radpants]

It must be tough being in second instead of first until the rubber band snaps

SNAP! Minmax Seoul now 20-5

Let Mfaki walk imo

We’re built for openers/followers yet the league refuses to allow it

 

[Orlando]

Put your rotation on 30 pitch counts

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Put your rotation on 30 pitch counts

It’s not the same or it wouldn’t be an option that you’ll refuse to turn on.

 

[Yankee151]

I don't care one way or another but I'm the one to test these things out and I'm too lazy to do so, so there's no evidence to the positive right now

 

[Orlando]

It’s not the same or it wouldn’t be an option that you’ll refuse to turn on.

There should be a vote on it.

What are you trying to accomplish?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

What are openers followers? Where was the discussion about it? I just keep liking JDs posts because I thought we were at the bar

 

[Yankee151]

That's why I auto-like about 30% of Nutopia's members posts regardless of content

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Did we vote on Stoppers because I missed that

 

[hayvis]

No need for a vote on stoppers as they are primarily an expensive "have" luxury.

 

[Orlando]

I don’t recall, but I don’t think it has the same implications.

[jdlikewhoa]

I’m trying to accomplish having an opener and then a follower

 

[Orlando]

A short pitch count and long relief could accomplish something similar. You can’t piggyback specific openers with specific followers, so openers and followers will give you the opposite control of what is available now. Now you can define your starter and the manager will choose the long reliever. With openers and followers the manager will choose the opener based on if you’ve given them that designation and then put in the follower based on in your rotation. @Karl Hungus and @Yankee151 can let you know why they may be apprehensive, but you can ask for a vote.

 

[Yankee151]

I'm cool with a vote, I just don't want to test anything

Basically I’m looking to set the follower in a specific rotation like the game allows. The opener is whatever.

 

[Karl Hungus]

I'd prefer it be tested first, personally, but have no interest in actually doing that. A vote is fine but if it turns out to be problematic I want to be able to scrap it.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Man does OU do classes for incoming Os?

 

[Yankee151]

Battle for 1st in Brazil this upcoming week @doh. Quinney and Okoth will be lined up to play for more REVENGE! Skipping Okoth's start vs. Lisbon so he starts game 1 of the 3 game set.

 

[Orlando]

Tough series against @Yankee151, but the Torkels era has begun.

 

[Yankee151]

Yep, been having a bunch of grindy, one-run games. Glad to see all the young talent on both sides though.

Rigney still sitting at -0.2 WARS BY SHOWING UP, lol. Theory going great so far!

 

[Orlando]

Yeah. I can't really figure out my bullpen. No one has been reliable, but my SP has been good so they keep blowing games. My lineup is also bad. Hoping that gets better, but we aren't scoring runs.

Time to bring up Bernard. He looks great. My scout really likes him and has him pretty much fully developed.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

We suck? Indeed.

I think he is too, but I'll let him round out at RF before Moustache dies for the year

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

I want this team to play so fucking bad I finally have to move them and get this Miami Monkey off of our backs.
