Also if you're open league rushing with us get your team ready soon. I just entered a different team into a league and there's only 7 spots remaining. I think we'll be able to jump on a new league tomorrow for sure.

I just thought it was weird that Addie "always at 99% or better" Joss seemed so slow to recover stamina. Of course this is my first TOC so I don't know any better anyway.

My OL team is a bunch of super high contact % dudes (90%+ and often 95%+) in hilltop. My theory is that people who put the ball in play more for their outs will see a greater boost from park + effects, and therefore will become unstoppable super monsters in high + parks. In practice I am going to get crushed.

I've joined just to try out a different brand of team as well. I expect to lose many games, but I want to see how far a team IsoD of .163 gets me. Everyone has 22+ BB/100.

 Up 3 runs in game 4 of the world series with my best reliever at 100% and I can't record a loving out. Now I'm down 3-1 in the series. I hate this game sometimes.

 Did I make some grievous error picking the Astrodome here? Almost every one of my hitters is playing worse than their worst performance history 20 games into the season. I have scored 27 runs and am in the middle of a 12 game losing streak. This was supposed to be a pitching heavy team and my ERA is in the top 5, but when I get shut out every game it doesn't matter. Yeah it's a gimmick all 1968 team but I still expected to compete. Did I gently caress this one up or is this just really bad luck/matchups?

Update: After scoring 4 runs in the last two games my team OPS is up to .504 Rick Monday is the only position player with an OPS over .800 or .700, or .600 Denny McClain is now 0-7 and the team is riding a L14.

Looks like Hometown is only going to have one opening if anyone is looking to pick up another team in a world that's going to roll over fast. NL West franchise This has been a decent team but I haven't gone through the contracts or anything to see if it's on a major downswing.

I think it looks in pretty good shape, the previous owner seems to know what he's doing. Guys were held back for arb properly, judicious use of team options, etc. Groucho Marxist posted:Jesus Alonso owns he's WMP as a catcher .319/.336/.672, 12 homers through 31 games.

So I've been playing HBD for a while now but there's still some things that I don't know. Like what the hell a bench coach actually does and if they're actually worth spending money on. This guy wants a raise to $2MM to be my ML bench coach. He's got nice stats for a bench coach I guess; a real good strategy rating and a good hit rating with no single digit numbers. But I guess the question is if I should even bother or just spend like $750k on some leftover.

I don't really know, but it seems like most people spend at least that on the bench coach, fwiw. I love that this guy got taken 357th in a draft: http://www.whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/ProspectProfile.aspx?pid=5094539 World's first 9th inning, close game pinch hitter.

So, uh, I was going to get the S20 thread up in the next couple of days...but the motherboard on my laptop went and died last night. Sooooo, things are back on hold until I get my computer situation sorted out. In related news, if anyone wants to make any laptop recommendations, I'm all ears.

Macbook Air. This 5x5 WISC league is driving me loving nuts. I've probably been through 30 or 40 configurations already and I've barely found any that even fit, let alone good ones.

gently caress Apple. I'm not thrilled with my 5x5 team but I like it well enough that I'm okay running with it and not fretting any more over more builds.

Maybe someone could make an interim thread with the general rules so we're not all just idling here and then we can update the OP when everything is back up.

This next week is my final week of classes for the summer. I then have four weeks off with no commitments whatsoever. I wanted to try and get the S20 thread up this weekend but with that in mind I think I'm just going to wait until after next week wraps up, and just focus entirely this week on school. If I find some down time between now and then I'll put it up but know that it is on the very, very near horizon. In other news, I'm pretty happy with my early track record here.

 I'm up against rbow923 in the finals of a TOC. My final four series was insane. I lost games 1 and 2 at home so I had to pull out my Milacki for this game 4. I managed to squeeze out a win in game 5 away and won a solid game 6 at home. So this is game 7. I won't even be that upset if I lose in the finals; I probably shouldn't even be there.

Devo, trying your left-handed team in Robison Park again, this time with a 120 mil budget and built pitching first. They're DEALING right now, but it's very, very early. I wish I could have Pops Stargell and Mickey Mantle on every team
