Is 90m still a speed-dominated cap? Though I guess being 25 consecutive years means less deadballers. The rest of the wisc themes seem fine but the single-franchise thing is going to destroy me.

"Mathewson pitched against Cincinnati yesterday. Another way of putting it is that Cincinnati lost a game of baseball."
The first round is comprised of enough open league quality morons and that cap is mid-level enough that it can be pretty much whatever you want it to be.

Given last year's performance I think open-league quality moron actually describes me pretty well.

90m was actually the first one I finished. Although I stuck kind of modern and mocked a few teams that always do well in Rule V.

I think it is mostly that I don't have any real depth of baseball knowledge beyond the standard WiS cookies, so the franchise things always cause problems. Mostly I rely on statistical tricks. Perhaps I can manufacture such a trick here...

Oh, there's plenty of other balls in the sea. Plus, you're not very talented.
One thing you should probably do then is say "what WIS cookies play on what teams" and look to see if those teams are viable. Especially if some of those cookies fall in the same franchise.

So, this is one of the very best pitching performances I've seen since I've been playing HBD, especially since he calls Louisville home and has to face the DH

And I may as well post the team since we're talking about it anyway. I wanted to see how many strikeouts my pitchers could get over the course of an OL season. Every pitcher besides the AAA guys has over 9 K/9 in real life. Total cookie monster offense because I wasn't feeling inspired there.





Probably the most laughably easy competition I've ever seen in an OL but I might have a date with ligapelota if things keep up the way they're going.

I think I underestimated how many pitches strikeout guys get to throw because my staff is very well rested.

Well, I've been one-upped. I've had a few 120-loss prog league teams between a bullshit one that I was sitemail recruited into + the first prog league here that stalled out, though:
