I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.
Well, holy poo poo I am sucking pretty hard right now. So here's a really dumb question: Can I pull players from my full pool of feeder teams or am I stuck with the guys I rostered? I don't actually see that mentioned anywhere so if I missed it, apologies. Because looking over my spreadsheet again, I clearly shouldn't be allowed to build a team while under the influence of stupid.

You can only perform feeder moves during the off season. That is, you're stuck with the dudes you selected until the end of the EC, then you can make changes to your roster before your team actually enters the Super League next season.

I desperately need another infielder to cover for all the injuries--Ron Cey's been awful.
You look like you could really use another starting pitcher to cover for Dutch Leonard's injury--Wes Farrell's been awful.

Your Gehringer's been bad, but he SHOULD be good. Maybe he just needs a change of scenery.
My Sutton's been bad, but he SHOULD be good. Maybe he just needs a change of scenery.

I propose we swap them until the end of the season. Then, if we both survive, we can swap back and take our chances again next year.

At this point it's going to take a miracle or some incredible luck to keep me out of the Gauntlet, and you're pretty much guaranteed to survive. Gehringer will get a reroll in the gauntlet, where, odds are, he won't be stinking up the joint. Ditto Dutch, who I will forever vouch for.

Also, I already have Sutton, and as much as I'd like to go down as the guy who rocked DOUBLE SUTTON, I feel like I can't justify trading away what could be justifiably the best contact hitter on my team, considering my current chances of escaping the Gauntlet.

Sorry, mrnoun, gonna have to take a pass.

That went about as well as expected. Anyway Musial back to hitting DH against RHP. Beltran now hits DH against LHP so Soriano can replace Collins on those occasions to give him a day or two off in the next week. Simmons returns to his catcher position as well.

The only thing that losing in the EC gets you is a better dispersal draft pick, so hey, it's OK to be bad now.

Well if Smasher is not gonna let that trade happen then something has to be done. Plank is dieing slowly and my efforts to get people to trade with me have not yet materialized.

Therefore I have no choice but to Call up Doomahue (Red Donahue) from the Minors, but him in the 3rd starting spot for plank. Send Plank to the LRP and Jon Lester to the minors.

Lineup wise put DiMaggio back in CF.
Put Crawford back in at LF for all positions because all putting Canseco in did was tank his BA.
Set the DH platoon as Eric Davis vs RHP, Canseco vs LHP.
Also I guess gently caress Beltre's performance as well. Bench him and put Cecil Travis in at 3B.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."


Okay, this COULD be an easy week, but keep in mind the mets swept the Propane in Arlen last time, and this time we're going to Mercury. They may have potentially ended our season once, but dang nabbit we're not going to let them do it again.

I guess the only moves this week are:

Put Mark Grace back in the lineup at first base against right handed pitchers. If Grace wants his gyros, we're gonna have to get a bye into the SLXII.

Swap Phil Rizzuto and Eddie Yost in all lineups, so Yost bats 7th and Rizzuto bats 8th. Maybe they're more comfortable batting in those positions?

Expansion Cup XI June: More Dragons than Game of Thrones









Analysis

An 18-11 month that would have put you in first place... except the Dragons went crazy and did even better.











Analysis
I guess second place was too good to be true. Your rotation is still playing way over its head though!











Analysis
Having only three days off in June didn't help your players fatigue. And you only get 4 more off for the rest of the season after the ASB.











Analysis
A good month, Detroit is just making it difficult to gain any traction.










Analysis
I guess an extra point makes a bigger difference than I thought.










Analysis
Not the best month, but you still have the lead and that pitching staff is still beastly.











Analysis
Your rotation is trying its hardest to get you back to .500, might help if anyone else were willing to contribute.











Analysis
Not a great month for the Pharmas. Worse still, the Thunder and the Dragons pounced on your moment of weakness.











Analysis
8-20. Ouch. And you've got some real fatigue problems. At least you're getting a great draft pick?











Analysis
Maybe this time you'll be able to draft a Ted Williams without having to trade half your team to do so?











Analysis
Togie Pittinger has walked more batters than he's struck out. That doesn't bode well.











Analysis
First place! You only had to leapfrog two teams to do it. Not sure how much longer you can keep scoring almost six runs per game, though.











Analysis
Looks like you and the Goog get to battle for the first pick.











Analysis
June went well, but your entire lineup is dying. You may want to do something to ameliorate that.











Analysis
I opted not to rest Gwynn and Raines for you, they were only tired and they are two of your best hitters.











Analysis
Dr. K is still lights out. That's something!











Analysis
And with another winning month the Worst continue to be anything but.











Analysis
Somehow managing to make Detroit sweat a little. The pitching is still holding it together, too.

Welp, my offense just went feast or famine last month. It wasn't just Staub, it seemed everyone started falling apart at the plate except for Bench, Morgan, and Yas. I don't know what I can really do about that except maybe field Jack Clark over Smith or Staub and watch him drop every ball ever sent his way in exchange for mashing dingers. I'll take a month to get a bit more data before I decide I want to give up that badly on defense.

Pitching... I still got that sore spot in Gullett that I'm probably going to have to draft some salve for, but the rest of my starter rotation is holding up, I'll pretty much just have to chew on it until the end of the Expansion Cup (Might want to swap notes with Smasher about waiting for the Great Hammaker Implosion- he spent an entire Super League season calling it on the '82 edition and had to settle for Atlee finally winding up with a losing record... on a team that ended way way below .500.) Lyle giving up 4+ runs a game as a closer is starting to get into shady town as well. That I probably need to address now even if I don't got the greatest answer for it. I also should probably lean on my starters more with relievers this horrifically weak, time to dial down the sliders a bit.





Move Bobby Bolin to Closer in place of Sparky Lyle. Let's see if he holds up a little better.

Chipper Jones really cannot play shortstop. Trust me. Neither could Wallach for that matter, but he can at least stand there. The problem I'm seeing is you have no one capable of hitting that can actually field the position adequately. That should probably be something you explore in the first round of the draft. For now, Knoblauch can kinda sorta almost play SS and is the best hitting infielder on your bench. Or there's Blauser who is thoroughly mediocre. Reboulet sounds like a dessert, and hits about as well. It's up to you.

Things are going well! Except for the whole allowing 5 runs a game thing, that's a bit scary.

By order of the King!

We need to rest a whole passel of players until the All-Star break.
- Let A-Rod hit as the DH for now
- Dick McAuliffe takes over at 3B vs RHP, Chipper plays vs LHP
- Platoon Teixeira and Lee at 1B, Lee only starts vs LHP
- Rest Kaline, so Stengel plays RF
- Young takes over as full-time 2B

Line-ups to reflect changes, DH rules:

1. SS Jeter
2. CF Griffey
3. 3B Jones (vs LHP) / McAuliffe (vs RHP)
4. DH Rodriguez
5. 1B Lee (vs LHP) / Teixeira (vs RHP)
6. 2B Young
7. LF Wheat

9. RF Stengel

no DH: as above, minus poor tired A-Rod

Huh I guess I was hoping the Sim would allow a 3B to play SS. After some research, he didn't do it hardly at all in real life, 38 games at age 24 in 1996, so I guess that was just the position he came up at and they moved him quickly.



Knoblach to SS, Jones to LF and Justice to DH in the middle of the order when needed.

He has come home, where he belongs. The Ancient Mariner returns to lead his first team to glory, forever and ever. Amen!

I mean, I could certainly make him play SS. It would just likely be actively detrimental to your team.

Nah, it's cool. I know sometimes in WiS if you have a guy that is a decent 3B he can play a passable SS. Thanks for the feedback.

That's generally true in BBM, too. A guy like Frankie Frisch, for example, can play the whole left side pretty well. However, Chipper isn't even capable of playing 3B well, even at 24, let alone SS.
