The Mooglies accept. This trade works in two ways: It helps mend my bullpen, and it lets me have "Lightning" Amos Strunk on the roster. That's a win just from his name alone.

Trade Bait Look, I still have multiple hall of famers that are not making my 28 that I want to flog off. "high Pockets" Kelly isn't rubbish, he's just not Jimmie Foxx so he's not going to get a guernsey, I've got Lou Warneke, Harry Hooper. Open to deals.  Trade Offer SenarioYou expressed an interest in this in the channel, so here is a flyer: Cultists get: You get: Pat Malone (27 year old world series winning staff ace in his prime, 1930 cubs), Charley Hall and Ed Karger. I will swap out any of those pitchers for Steve Avery or Lou Warneke (at 21, but a Hall of Famer). You can swap out two and get both Avery and Warneke too. Realistically though Pat Malone is a decent starter and the rest have problems. Ed Karger is a good pitcher if you have a big stadium, but his WHIP is to high if you play in a bandbox, Charley Hall is like Ed except a righty, Lou is too young though might be worth a flyer in relief or in your minors and Avery breaks all the time but is good when he's not broken.

Expansion Cup!: Opening Day : Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Opening Day, which will kick off the sixth annual Expansion Cup! Teams will test their stuff against other hopefuls, and either be awarded fabulous prizes or the cold reassurance that their team is awful! We're starting things off with a series between two teams: the Rlyeh Cultists, and the Norfolk Splinter Cells. I'm Eddie Murray, and my co-host is my Tigres de San Juan teammate, and Hall of Fame third baseman, Mike Schmidt.  : Hi, Eddie. Aren't you excited? This is my favorite time of the year!: Yes, the Expansion Cup is a fun time for all involved.: What? Expansion Cup? No, it's Shark Week! Sharks! : Focus on your job, Mike. Today's two teams are Splinter Cells and the Cultists. Both of these teams are based around a core of solid hitting.: Yeah. The Cultists are more built around power, though, while the Cells have the better contact hitters. Foxx, Hornsby, Banks, and all the rest mean the Cells' pitching staff is going to have to be really sharp to win this three-game series. Thankfully, they've got a solid one.: Actually, they Cells just traded away Bill Donovan for...basically nothing.: Seriously? New owners just shouldn't trade with veterans. The Cells still have Clemens to start the series off, so let's see if he can smother the Cultists' lineup.: And the Cultists have Randy Johnson! Let's watch. : drat! Blanked by Randy Johnson. Well, at least the Cells can walk away knowing they were beaten by the best.: Hopefully Johnson can pitch like that the entire season. He's 38, and Curt Schilling is 35, so injuries and flameouts are going to be worrying Rlyeh all season long.: It's why you try and get aces in their prime, Eddie. Hey, did you know sharks continually shed their teeth and grow new sets, and that some sharks can grow up to 35,000 teeth in a lifetime?: Where did you get that pamphlet? Put it away and talk about the game!: A guy was handing them out just now. I told you it was Shark Week, right?: Shut up about sharks! : Fine. For a second there, I thought CthulhuDreams had shot himself in the foot by putting his power-hitting team in a huge stadium. Well, I still think he did, actually. When you've got that many great hitters, put them in a place where they can get as many balls over the fence as possible. Who're the starters for the next game?: Curt Schilling for the Cultists, and Ed Summers for the Cells. The Cells left a bunch of runners in scoring position stranded on the bases last game. Let's see if they can be more effective this time around. : Short answer: Yes! Ed Summers pays the Cultists back with a great one run, nine-inning performance! Curt Schilling held the Cells to just one run through the sixth, but then a monster 3-run homer by Mike Piazza blew the game wide open and sent Schilling packing. Good news for the Cells, who tie the series up at 1-1.: Good show by the Cells. Of course, it's too early to know whether Summers will be any good, but any time you can coax a performance like that out of a knuckleballer, it's a good thing. You know what they normally say: "Try to win with the knuck, you're gonna get fu-": Wait, what are you eating? : Shark honey. Want some?: Sharks...don't make honey.: That's not what those vendors outside the stadium said!: Goddamnit, Mike! I keep telling you not to buy from those guys! They're not licensed! If you get botulism again, I'm not driving you to the hospital this time.: Shark honey is very real, Eddie, and very good! It's the best thing since...hrk...ggh...: Are you choking? Whatever. Next game has Zack Greinke starting for the Cultists, and a 41-year old Tom Seaver starting for the Cells! Let's see who starts the year off by taking home a series! : Well, that was decisive. Tom Seaver pitches a complete game despite his age, and the Cells obliterate the Cultists, taking the series 2-1!.: Oh god...I thought I was dying...: The Cultists are going to have to address the fact that they're in a huge stadium even though their baserunners aren't particularly fast, and that most of their hitters are sluggers, not speedy contact hitters. The Cells, on the other hand, are going to have to deal with the fact that they just gave up three very good players for a handful of crap!: Uggh...Eddie...hey, Eddie...: What.: For a second there...I thought I was...finished, hahaha...: God. Well, that wraps up our somewhat misleadingly titled, three-day long Opening Day series! See you on Wednesday, when we'll be going over the entire month of April!Next: Springtime for

Since I've finally got time to do Super League things again, I figured I'd do the survey that was posted a few days ago on behalf of my Dubai Dervishes. Question 1 I want my team... B. To be remembered. Question 2 The core of a successful Super-League team is... C. Its owner's cunning Question 3 Your team is middling. But, if you take a certain risk, it may become a contender, or may be relegated after the season. If you do nothing, your team will probably survive, but certainly won't win a championship. Do you... A. Take the risk! Death of glory! Question 4 Is Marauder evil? C. Nietzsche wrote of a society that grow decrepit as its morals and ethics lose meaning the light of technological and societal progress. These values, in this new age, tie down mankind and prevent its progress. Even worse, their decay leads to nihilism and the loss of all values. In such a situation, it is imperative on a great person to rise above the herd and their conceptions of 'good' and 'evil' to assert new values to form the foundation of a new society. Marauder merely wishes to save the Super-League from such a dreary fate, even if he is branded 'evil' by the decaying culture he seeks to transform. but really D. Yeah, man, dude's totally evil. I admire his cunning though. Question 5 The thesis of Moneyball is that it is incumbent on ballclubs to forever seek out market inefficiencies in order to give their team the best return on investment. What is the greatest market inefficiency in the Super-League today? B. Contact hitting. Given the abundance of good pitching, especially from the deadball era, drawing walks in considerably harder than it is in real life. On the other hand, contact hitting appears to be much less affected by the superior pitching in the Super-League. Question 6 My team sucks. What the gently caress went wrong? B. It's just bad luck. with a bit of C. Smasher's out to get me. after I did that stupid challenge. Question 7 The best player of all time was... C. Josh Gibson Question 8 My ideal castle is... C. Atop a floating island that glides along with the win, never stopping in any place for too long. Question 9 The biggest Hall of Fame Snub is... B. Alan Trammell and D. Pete Rose, just because he's doing so well this season as my third baseman. Question 10 The best sci-fi franchise is... A. Star Trek Question 11 Should Chicago forgive Steve Bartman? B. No! Question 12 If the Sun is one, and the Moon is two, then what is the Earth? C. Five Question 13 Will the new season of Community suck? A. 'Suck' is a strong word, it probably won't be quite as good, as it depended a lot on the sensibilities of Dan Harmon to work properly, but it will still be competent enough. It'll still be canceled, though. Question 14 Out of all of the idiotic characters Smasher has created, the one I'd want most on my team is... B. "The Chosen" Dunn Question 15 What was the point of this? C. Smasher's trying to get inside our heads! Don't you understand, this is all part of his evil plan! We must stop him! and D. Smasher's got to know exactly how much lunacy the lot of you can tolerate. Bonus Essay Question What do you do? What do you do? For the purposes of this question, assume that your Hover-Mazda has been fully repaired after the Rockford incident. This is a delicate situation. We don't want to have to start a fourth Milwaukee, so I think I'd start by convincing the larger communities of commutants to aid my cause. To accomplish this I will teach them of the long socialist history of Old Milwaukee in the 20th century and convince them of the need to join in a new Internationale of the Midwest. With the marxist might of the commutants behind me, the Dakotans shouldn't prove too much trouble and Cardinal Severn's plans will be foiled for the last time.

That's pretty remarkable, nice work. It's neat to see the pedigree of some of the players. Evidently the Bob Gibson I picked up in the dispersal draft has been around since the beginning.

Definitely an effort post. So we've seen 150 players of the 234 on the hall of fame. If some of the teams in this cup make it through it will close a few gaps, such as Ray loving Schalk.

Just out of curiosity, that seems like an awful lot of injuries. Are you sure your injury slider is set to -50%?

Ah, so he's behind this... I should've guessed. The last EC was definitely -50%, and he's trying to drive up injuries so that he has less work to do.

Useful factoid that other owners may care about on. On average, players will miss games. The average numbers of games missed per season is: 17 for a healthy position player 30 for an unhealth or old position player 47 games for a healthy catcher A loving shitload for an unhealthy catcher 3-4 starts for a health pitcher 5-6 starts for an unhealthy pitcher. Not sure how a DH fits into this picture.  We have a new team now! Hurray! To Celebrate, we have a new stadium! Hurray! <<Moved to Page 1: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3499603#post406227341>> Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Aug 17, 2012 |

The Hall of Fame post has finally been brought up to date. You'll notice that none of the expansion teams are included. That's because until you survive the Expansion Gauntlet, you haven't really owned a Super-League team yet. Anyway, I'm told the first update will be up shortly...ish.

Expansion Cup!: April : Remember, owners: roster changes will be in effect starting after this update, so keep your panicking to yourselves. : Hey, when do we see the Splinter Cells play again?: Why, did you like seeing their style of play?: What? Uh, I guess. I just like seeing Ichiro...Ichiro...    If you're wondering why you went 10-6, it's pretty simple: you didn't get nearly enough production out of your infield, and Doak is not a super-league ace.     A lineup anchored by Frank Thomas and a pitching rotation anchored by the '93 Braves' pitching staff? You're the favorite to win the division.     I don't hate it he thought, panting in the cold air, the iron New England dark; I don't. I don't! I don't hate it! I don't hate it!     I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and I could have killed 'em all, I could kill you. In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it. Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe. Let it go. Let it go. Also, your setup man and closer pitched a combined total of 4.1 innings this month, so, good job, Leprechaun starters.     Monte Pearson is killing it! He won't keep this up, though.     Don Sutton and Pedro Martinez having incredible Aprils really pulled your acorns out of the fire, but your other pitchers better bring their numbers down or you're going to be looking down the business end of a sub .500 record real quickly.     Poor Potatoes. They can never seem to catch a break. You really need a better first baseman in the worst way.     Willie Mays is out for two weeks, so don't expect any miracles. The rest of this team is boring, so hurry up and make a poisonous rivalry with another team already!     On any given day in real life, Andrew McCutchen is either the best or second best center-fielder in baseball. The problem is that Mogul loves established players over modern, young players, so he's probably not going to be the elite force you expected him to be. You also have a good middle of the lineup, but your terrible rotation is going to make any efforts on their part moot. Upgrade your pitching!     Cobb and Ichiro are hitting like demons right now, making Cabrera's job easier. Miggy's glove is absolutely god-awful at third, though. I think I saw about ten balls go past him when I watched the Cells play the Cultists. If you can find a third-baseman and another #5 starter to replace the fallen Boddicker, you'll have a really strong team, and you'll need it, because you're going to be fighting the Cultists for first place for the rest of the season. : Ichiro...    Nobody on your team is hitting! Or at least they're not hitting like they should be hitting, so give it another month before freaking out. Wilbur Cooper is a fastball-reliant pitcher who has no power and can only muster 87 going over the plate. He's going to get clobbered until you replace him.     Here's the team nobody expected to become a juggernaut, because I doubt anyone but you realized how loving fast your baserunners are. Ignoring Darrell Porter, the slowest speed in your starting lineup is 89, and the lowest contact rating is 88. Add in your deadball pitchers and your giant foggy monstrosity of a ballpark, and you've got probably the most exciting and dangerous team in the Cup.     Am I sad that the two SAS posters' teams are doing poorly? Yes, because SAS posters are usually cool, and more importantly, they don't micromanage their teams like crazy and give me a ton of work. Your biggest problem is that you have one elite hitter in Yaz, two good hitters in Tejada and Ashburn, and then a bunch of players who can't contribute against this level of competition.     Blyleven pitched out of his head in April, and he might be able to sustain an elite ERA like that, but the back end of your rotation is pretty rough, and your bullpen has been horrendous in the limited time it's gotten. The good news? There's no way your lineup remains this inert, so expect better things from them in the future.     To be honest, I'm just not sure you have enough talent to hang in there in your division. You've only got three position players with a rating above 90. Still, your pitching staff is pretty good even if it's anchored by the supremely unreliable Vida Blue, and stranger things have happened than a team with good pitching upsetting its division, so keep your hopes up.     I'm pretty sure Trever Miller's ERA just broke some Super-League records. But don't let that distract you, because you've got bigger problems. Namely, you really need an upgrade at catcher and center field, probably the two rarest commodities in the league. And I really doubt AJ Burnett is going to turn it around, or that a knuckleballer like Cicotte is going to be able to maintain a sub 4.00 ERA for long.     Does this make your retooling the weird mirror opposite of a panic trade? You might have just hosed up a good thing, but hey, I'm sure adding the Big Train and Big Six can't exactly make things worse, right? Right?     Hey, the back of your lineup looks just like the Tigres! Except it's not made up of a bunch of HOFers, so I'm not expecting them to turn it around or be anywhere as cool as Mike Schmidt. Keep the faith with Matthews, obviously.     You guys have put together a nice little team, but it's essentially a bunch of really talented also-rans. Marichal and Perry are dependable enough, but old Doyle Alexander is worrisome, to say the least. Why the hell aren't you playing Biggio at second? Was that my screw up, or yours?     Is Jim Bunning the most underrated Super-League ace ever? I think it's safe to say yes.   : Jesus, that took forever. Game[s] of the Week writeups coming soon!

Jut to prove I'm not totally disingenuous, look at Randy go! Oh Randy,  you're just to erratic to keep, but thanks for the 4-1 record. I'll have to get big unit back some day to join big six and big train on the mound, just for the names though. Also, check out those streaks! They lost 6 on the trot, then presumably after the woke up and actually went to a baseball game, they managed 12 in a row. Nice work team. Now don't loving lose 6 in a row. quote:Here's the team nobody expected to become a juggernaut, because I doubt anyone but you realized how loving fast your baserunners are.

I think that lot proves that was is undervalued is super speedy contact hitting. I fiddled with my roster again, check it out at: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3499603&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1#post406227341 But basically, aside from the forced roster changes, you'll be pleased to see I've gone to one batting order. Also, please check my bullpen. Frank smith is not a setup man, promote Phil Coker to setup man, put Valverde in short relief and send Frank Smith to the minors.

 A surprisingly competent start, really. Third out of five ain't too bad, and hopefully with a few tweaks we can get on the other side of some of those close losses. So, switch Cooper out for Bumgarner, my other lefty, since I want to see how he can do anyway. I'll alter my roster post to this, but for the sake of ease could you please alter my pitching rotation to; Lincecum Cain Bumgarner Adams Beckett Revenant Threshold fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Aug 16, 2012 |
