 Smasher League VIII, Dynamo League Week 16: Next Person Who Asks About a Super-Auction is in Trouble! Games of the Week Don May posted:
Box Score   Don May posted:
Box Score   Hardcore Title Defenses  : Coburns-Generics! The most competitive series you will see this week! Assuming you only see this one series this week! : And the Coburns will win Game 1, this isn't going to be very good, is it? : As the Coburns win Game 2 and retain already, probably not.: The Generics might have made a mis-step when they traded Barry Bonds last season. : Coburns win again. And yeah, trading Bonds probably killed them.: Well, at least they taught other owners an important lesson. : Generics win the final game of the series to avoid a sweep, so that's something.: Then again, any owner who didn't already know not to trade Barry Bonds probably is incapable of learning. : Okay, the second series is Coburns-Unspecifieds, and this should be a bit more competitive, with the Unspecifieds winning Game 1.: The Unspecifieds had a very bad time last month, but they've been playing better of late, and this would be a big win for them. : Coburns tie it up, and we'll head to a Game 3 for the Hardcore Title.: The Unspecifieds' biggest problem is going to be the Tornados, who have looked even better lately, and who have a lineup designed to take advantage of their finesse pitching. : And the Coburns will retain the Hardcore title once again! : Close game, but the Unspecifieds' bullpen is just a bit weaker, and that costs them. : That's it for next week. Next time, it will be Coburns-Pessimists with both the Hardcore and Intercontinental Titles on the line, and then either Coburns-Unicorns or a potential four-title unification series between the Pessimists and Finger-Bangers.     Analysis I'll do you the favor of putting those guys you were resting back into the lineup. Except Clark. I think you want to keep Clark in the lineup.      Analysis Baker and Waner should probably come out for Traynor and Crawford, for a week, at least.      Analysis I would bank on a very long and successful Gauntlet run.      Analysis Well, that's certainly one solid team. I have no other notes for you, honestly.      Analysis You can either fix your CF situation, or I can keep bugging you about it. Your choice.      Analysis The power of James Coburn compels! Those high OBPs are the real engine of your team.      Analysis The Dervishes just aren't a very lucky team.      Analysis Trading two of your starters for a guy who won't be able to pitch until the Gauntlet is about the riskiest move you can make short of trying to adjust your roster in your iPhone while skydiving and only 7% power left on your battery.      Analysis You're a good guy, Monicro, but this is a bad team.      Analysis Invictus!      Analysis The Spooners...above .500? All thanks to Ed Walsh and Doc White.      Analysis I keep forgetting how bizarrely good your rotation has been. I guess I can understand Alexander, Wood, and Blyleven being good. But Derringer and Morris? That is surprising.      Analysis Chuck Finley...this is for you.      Analysis There's a good chance this season ends with another Losers-Bangers showdown.      Analysis On the plus side, only three more weeks until you can activate the Space Jam again.      Analysis Yes.... Standings and Leaders      The Bobbleheads' obit will continue after I sort out the mess with the Landers.

Aha, I found some sliders so now I can finally change my setup from what I had back when I had Polancos and Abreus strewn throughout the field. Hit and Run: -2 Sacrifice Bunt: -4 Squeeze Play: -4 Trying for extra bases: -3 Stealing Bases: -3 Aggressively Tagging Up: -3 Pitch Outs (to prevent stolen bases): 0 Giving Intentional Walks: 0 Pitching Around Good Hitters: 0 Bringing the Infield In: 0 Guarding the Lines: 0 Making Cutoff Throws: 2 Bringing in Pinch Hitters: 1 Bringing in Pinch Runners: 1 Bringing in Defensive Replacements: 0 Starting Pitchers on Short Rest: -4 Letting pitchers pitch throw trouble: -4 Letting Pitchers rack up high pitch counts: -3 For the last 3 pitching ones, I can't remember which way is which, but I'm going for "Get them out of there".

Three one-run losses god loving drat every thing.  Also, how the gently caress did Bonds lose 3 points of OVR in the middle of an injury? Is it because he's in AAA and not on the DL? Also also, do players on the bench show tiredness? If not, could you let me know if anyone (Gehrig) is tired/sore?

As to Bonds' rating, injuries can sometimes cause small bits of ratings losses. So can other things. Either way, there's nothing you can do about it.

You gave up 2/5ths of your rotation for a guy you can't use until the Gauntlet. I'm also in a division with a team that just lost 2/5ths of its rotation for an appreciable amount of time, the Beard Leaguers, and those damned Catastrophes. I'll live.

While we're all being whiny, I demand the Portland Bulldogs be renamed the Cenation Champs or the Orton's Head Vipers because they have explicitly cheated the system by taking advantage of a benefit given to newer teams who don't have the experience making Super-League teams but because TKBomber is the golden boy he doesn't get punished. Here are the images you can use for the two team banners

Yeah, Well, no. I'm not going to do that, especially since, at this point, had the Bulldogs been kicked out of the league, they would have been replaced by the Ted Sox, and, no offense intended to Mooseontheloose, that wouldn't have been good for anyone.

This is not going well at all... it hasn't gone this poorly since the middle of SLVI. What's worse, is nothing is really going wrong, I'm just underperforming my pythagorean record by four games. I'd at least have a winning record in that case. Ah well. I think it might be time to revise the lineup slightly after what's happened so far this season... No more Perez 3B platoon anymore, if it's even been happening. He's useful enough as a bench bat (even if he's only hit one dinger in limited PA this season), and Kamm has been amazingly consistent at providing a .350 OBP at the bottom of my lineup. It's time to go with what's actually happened this season. pre:vs both 1. 3B Willie Kamm 2. CF Stan Musial 3. 2B Joe Morgan 4. 1B Buck Leonard 5. RF Vladimir Guerrero 6. LF Zach Wheat (to be replaced by Averill in CF when the time comes) 7. C Johnny Bench 8. SS Cal Ripken, Jr.

Gehrig's only on the bench against LHP, which I faced exactly one of last week, and he started the week Sore. e: Speaking of which, it would be marginally more helpful to see updates with the lineup vsR instead of vsL. Is this something that would be easy to change? So here's the plan: - Yount back to full-time, move him above Robinson vs LHP - McBean swaps with the injured Orosco - If Gehrig is sore, have him start against LHP and Cash against RHP. If tired, keep Cash vs LHP. Otherwise, Gehrig back to full-time. - Delahanty at 2B vs LHP, not Aparicio. - Put Bonds on the actual DL, just in case. - We're doomed. e: - Either a) shift my rotation all down one space, with Bender moving up to #1 (but Hendrix still the next starter), and set Skip Starters slider to 2, or b) keep everything the same but manually skip over Glavine's second start of the week in favor of Bender (or switch Glavine and Bender's rotation spots after Bender's first start of the week, which should be my 3rd game).

Snuffy ran into the office. He dreaded his frequent visits to the chairman's office. Not that it was an ugly, badly-appointed office, oh no. The furniture was tasteful, the carpet plush, the atmosphere should have been one of welcoming efficiency. What creeped Snuffy out was the lifeless husk in the maintenance tank, the oddly-pulsing lights of the mainframe behind the desk and the grating, tinny voice emanating from the small speaker that sat on the desk. The desk of the owner of the team. "Yes, boss?" panted Snuffy. "Snuffy-unit. I require linguistic assistance," croaked the voice of Robot_Deadford. "Yes, boss?" "Snuffy-unit, my sensors report dissatisfaction emanating from the Commisioner. Dissatisfaction with our organizations infield. Is this true?" "Yes boss!" "Snuffy-unit, my data arrays are experiencing a malfunction." The automaton thrashed momentarily in its tank. Snuffy shuddered. Somehow, the owner's body still retained a connection to its brain even when supposedly disconnected. Others supposed that the owner actually had all the computing power of a VIC-20, but Snuffy reckoned that if a VIC-20 was good enough for the Battlestar Galactica, it was good enough to run a Super League franchise. Sadly for the Arguments, Snuffy appeared to be wrong. "Snuffy-unit, my linguistic conversion algorithm defines the disarray within my central processing unit as sadness. Is sadness the emotion humans feel when things are not going according to plan?" "Yes, boss," Snuffy whimpered. Robot_Deadford's mainframe hummed threateningly. The husk shivered in its tank of goop. The endlessly flashing lights on the mainframe flickered, racing through random patterns in an alarmingly fast manner. "Snuffy-unit, I am now authorising a series of alterations to the playing orders. Convey them to the Smasher-unit." A sheet of paper emerged from a slot on the mainframe's fascia. Snuffy scuttled over, took it and a small grin played over his face for a moment. Then he crept to the door. "Snuffy-unit." Snuffy stopped dead,and turned to face the wheezing speaker. "Snuffy-unit, you are now the starting second baseman. Failure is not an option." Snuffy nodded once. "Yes, boss!" he whispered, before running joyously through the bowels of the Ineptodrome. New batting orders: all batting sliders, except sacrifice bunting, are now set to +5. Sacrifice bunting is set to -5. Snuffy is now restored to 2nd base. He hits 9th. Winfield hits 5th, Nomar 6th, Santo 7th, Piersall 8th. All other orders remain the same. God help us.

Anyone want the last draft pick? There's some quite good relievers left, or you could take a roll on Pee Wee Reese, take a utility man in Polanco, or I guess gamble on the fact that there's fewer lefties in the Super League and draft Ryan Howard. I believe mentholmoose's bid of 2011 Adrian Gonzalez is currently leading.
