 Excellent. 3-3 week against a pair of excellent teams and I hit the Unspecifieds at a pretty ideal time. Bonds willing, I'll manage a 4-3 and finish with a .500 record in a tough month. Some questions before I finalize my stuff: 1) When a player returns from injury, does he need extra time off to get back to full effectiveness or prevent future injuries? Or is he at full strength as soon as the little number is gone? I ask because Bender appears to have actually sustained a second injury during his return appearance, and I don't want to murder him (or make his rating even worse). 2) It is possible to do a 6-man rotation, correct? 3) Reiterating my request for defensive info on Ordonez/Herman. Also Ordonez's OVR, since he's not on my roster in the sim.

No - except for long term injuries that are out of scope for the SL because you never have to deal with the consequences of a shoulder seperation or something on a pitcher's performance because he's out for the season and you get a reboot. No - just like not being able to bat the pitcher 8th, BM2013 isn't as realistic as it might like Cannot help you.

Well, I don't want to do a 6-man rotation, I really just want Pappas to make a spot start (because the Portland lineup does not look kind to LHP), but since I don't imagine you're willing to change my rotation mid-week I was going to just use a 6-man to accomplish the same thing. God drat you, BBM. But thanks for the info, Smasher (e: and Cthulhu).

 Hey guys, the Whalers need pitchers. You can find my roster here. I'm willing to listen to offers for pretty much anyone at this point, so if you are interested in getting a deal done, let me know. However, let it be known that I am activly trying to move 1972 Sparky Lyle and 1985Ozzie Smith. Lyle is a closer quality lefty, and Ozzie Smith is Ozzie Smith.

The format is still a 7-game series that takes place in a world out of time? Just to be sure that if, say, Deacon Phillippe of the annoyingly persistent Cleveland Unicorns were to take it upon himself to throw 180 pitches in a start, out of a burning sense of competitive pride sadly lacking in today's late-stage capitalist world, his melted arm would not be reflected in standard play?

A spreadsheet update is upon us, wherein: - Milt Pappas gets a second chance he probably doesn't deserve, taking Lolich's spot for the week to play platoon matchups. Note that this means Freehan needs to switch to become Pappas's personal catcher. - Magglio comes up for Dykstra and goes into the lineup. - We pray to Base Baal that Ordonez (or breakouts by Gehrig and Puckett) can make up for McCutchen, Fisk, Matthews, and Cano all regressing badly (with significant ratings loss in two of those cases besides!) until Lord Barrold returns to lead us to glory. - gently caress. I hope everyone else's ratings are tanking as badly as mine. Mornacale fucked around with this message at 09:48 on Jan 8, 2013 |

 I may be underperforming, but I'm still champions! I can but strive to take the titles into the Gauntlet with me. Anyway, I am at a bit of a loss, and will draft 1955 Forrest Harrill "Smoky" Burgess and start him over DFA'd Fisk immediately. A CraigK/Mashers on the clock.

 Tiant replaces Garcia as long man, Stieb slides into the fifth rotation slot. Give Ott the week off with the newly drafted Klein - send down Stargell to make room. Platoon Bernie Williams/Eric Davis to give Bernardo some extra rest. Also A, I suppose. We might be in Morlocks territory if we go further forward.

He might have a minor injury that resolved itself within a week. Even a minor injury can knock a bunch of points off the ratings of older players. That would be my guess. Besides, Mathews didn't really age super-well anyway.

Either way, we've got the Mathematicians facing the Cultists for the Television Title and...Phil Coke will blow it again, and that Maths take Game! : Cultists win, and their TV Title hopes stay alive.: Steve Carlton keeps his fantastic season going. : Hornsby gets another home run as the Cultists win again, and they can pick up the TV Title with a win in the next game.: Of course, the trade-off is that Hornsby isn't much of a defender, but that's probably something a team can just suck up to get Hornsby's bat in the lineup. : Cultists blow it, and the Mathematicians retain the Hardcore Title for the fourth straight time, a new record. : Matty is only 20 years old, and being that young tends to leave you rather erratic. That's not much comfort to CthulhuDreams, though. : Okay, and the Maths will now try and make their fifth defense of the TV Title against the Philadelphia Failures.: Philadelphia, of course, is the fictional setting of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Fun fact, Philadelphia is actually based on the series' creators memories of growing up in suburban Columbus, Ohio. : And the Failures lose Game 1, because, after all, they are failures. : Failures win Game 2...but there's no way they come away with the TV Title, is there?: They're the Failures...can they overcome their nature? : And the Failures win! And they are the new Television Champions!: Truly, a great day for the fictional city of Philadelphia! : And that will do it! Next week the Failures take on the Biosparks and then we'll see either a rematch between the Failures and Maths or Biosparks-Gumshoes! Team Statistics      Analysis Maybe Mike Torrez should stop pitching for you.      Analysis Ralph Kiner may not be the man to send you to greater glory.      Analysis The Ned Garver Catastrophe would be a good name for a mildly successful indie band. It's not as good for a description of a Super-League team's pitching, however.      Analysis Some day, some expansion owner is going to build a DH team that is capable of killing the Phoenixes. I'm hoping that day is today.      Analysis Thurman Munson hates your guts.      Analysis When a guy with a 6.47 ERA has a winning record, you know things are going well.      Analysis But seriously, how the gently caress did you get swept by the Air Raids?      Analysis The New England Arguments: The Pernicious Myth of John Valentin, Starting Second Baseman (working title)      Analysis This team is loving doomed. Five losses in four weeks? That's pathetic, simply pathetic. Might as well just give up now.      Analysis Even the Maths can't keep the magic going forever, especially not if Chuck Klein stops hitting.      Analysis How could this have happened?      Analysis One bad trade and a lot of bad luck. Then again, poo poo like that happens in the Super-League all the time.      Analysis Losing nine in a row is tough, even if seven of those losses are to division leaders.      Analysis I think I might have traced your problems to the fact that not a single member of your infield has an OBP over .300.      Analysis The W's are just waiting for the post-season.      Analysis Amazing. Standings and Leaders       : Who gently caress the cares what you guys voted for? You already loving killed me twice!
