Move Perez to #2 in batting order
Move Trout to #4


Wanna help Trout get the triple crown...

If we can finish in last place, but have Gregerson become the AL Saves Champion, that would be just peachy.

The news things only show CG Shutouts (which is why I never have anything up there), and your only one happened near the start of the league before I realized how neat/easy adding that bit was.

I don't get why the game was hating on the Nationals in the power rankings until now. We had consistently the second highest number of wins until the last update or two, and now that we're falling behind we pop up in the rankings? Bizzarro world.

In the Sept. 8th rankings you popped up because you'd just swept the team leading your division. (i.e. me)

Timing, probably. Rankings are weekly and sims were two weeks at a time.

I say if there's a close race where the last game of the season matters, pause the update for that. Otherwise finish the season.

IF Oakland plays the Angels and sweeps them the playoffs are still possible I guess. And yeah, if there are some close races I say pause it before the last series or something, then finish.

The schedule is the same as the real one for this year so you finish against the Angels and Rangers.

It's kinda funny that the best teams have topped out at 89-90 victories and there's no clear runaway "best team" in this sim.

It was awfully nice of the Reds and Pirates to go 14-5 so far in September though to make their division at least somewhat respectable, though.

Swapping two high OBP guys between 2nd and 4th isn't really going to reduce the RBIs your #3 hitter gets, either. I would have just swapped Gordon and Trout initially (maybe move Perez to third and Trout to fourth).

I wasn't looking to reduce Gordon's chances, just increase Trout's. If Trout had hit 4th all season he'd probably top 130 now.

Hopefully this means the Padres are actually better than their record indicates and will roll to an easy WS victory.

But probably not. :smith:

It doesn't look like there's much I can do actually. Just make sure that Venters is actually in the closer spot, and see if there's any way you can bump up O'Flaherty's workload over the last week and potentially the playoffs. Thanks!

I'll post it when I get home but when I do the sim I do the sim, if I push it back it's cutting into my Destiny time and if I say "I'll do it before bed" I run the risk of forgetting/being too tired to do it.

After the season I'm going to be going through every team, by division, with the team pages and expanded stats so we can see all the hilarity (such as Tulo hitting around the mendoza line).

IP: Could I know my team's record vs. division compared to vs. everyone else? I'd feel better with a .500 record knowing it's the NLW being stacked keeping me from making the playoffs.
