 Some good rolls [surprised a bit at Mel Ott's roll], some not-so-good rolls, what can you do? I guess the only change I'm making is bumping up Urban Shocker to SP3, and bumping down Claude Osteen to SP4; each retains the personal catcher order I requested.

Would Mogul give a young RA Dickey the knuckleball or would it kick in after he actually started throwing it?

The game actually has pitch data for each pitcher by year. But there's no data for Dickey before 2008 so I guess it just takes that?

 Super-League XVII, Week 18: A Tragedy in 1.5 Acts If you all think I'm going to sit back and let the corrupt Super-League court system force me into writing games of the week, then you're out of your minds. Therefore, in defiance of the preliminary injunction ordered by the court, I am hereby instead going to post a portion of the unpublished manuscript of "The Lives and Deaths of Bruzer", commemorating the Super-League's victory over its most deadly foe. I know that some of you might not appreciate that, but I'm sticking to my guns about this boycott. Act I Scene I. Smasher Dynamo's Fortress Enter ICEMOLE, FOREVERBWFC and BEET ICEMOLE Grim tidings to you, my friends, though I fear That even such foreboding is too slight To bear the woes of these dark mornings BEET I think that prose must suit us best, because counting to ten syllables for every line is going to old, dudes. ICEMOLE This occasion is weighty and dense, friend It befits men of our station to speak In a manner of similar heft that All may understand the peril to us And to the Super-League which we all love. BEET Seriously? ICEMOLE I jest not, good Beet, e'en now we sit scar'd Preparing for that lightless journey soon To take us all, lest a savior come here And turn back the night that stretches to all Where dawn does not break, save for our weak souls BEET I'm curious to see how long you can keep this up. I mean, there's a lot of exposition to get through, and if you're willing to get through it ten syllables at a time, then I'm going to be impressed. FOREVERBWFC Yes, I am afraid that the amount of exposition is a bit too much to get through that way. ICEMOLE Fear ye not the power of metered verse For it can say things more elegant far Than plain words could ever hope to do so FOREVERBWFC He's really going to keep going. I suppose it does add a bit of levity to these dark circumstances. The Seventh Super-League is over. The Chicago Bobbleheads, much stronger now than ever before, strengethened by the since foresworn Super-League Challenge, have triumphed over all, and then challenged the heavens themselves, and pushed even the Macho Men to the brink of annihilation. ICEMOLE Aye, and then, as Icarus, they fell Reckless courage laid them low there to die Upon the invincible ramparts high Where Macho Men dwell and judge the worthy ones FOREVERBWFC Too true. And they are gone, and I fear if Smasher Dynamo speaks as I know he must, our hopes may have passed with them. BEET Eh. Meh. FOREVERBWFC Yes, quite. Ah, Smasher approaches! Enter SMASHER DYNAMO, OLDSKOOL, HUMUNGUS SMASHER DYNAMO Ah, you have received my summons, the brave IceMole, resolute Beet and loyal ForeverBWFC. OLDSKOOL These guys suck. Just saying. They really suck. I mean, I've seen some sucky guys before But these must be the suckiest suckers Who sucked and sucked and sucked, right? BEET Wait, did you do that in iambic pentameter too? That is bullshit. This is all bullshit! HUMUNGUS The Humungus knows of the fears that Smasher Dynamo holds, the Humungus is unimpressed. SMASHER DYNAMO Oh? So brave, my Humungus, so unafraid of this threat, are you? HUMUNGUS I am. SMASHER DYNAMO I had hoped that my Super-League Champion could represent me in this battle, which now seems inevitable, but the Bobbleheads are no more. FOREVERBWFC Pardon, my lord, but was it not your Macho Men that slew the Bobbleheads? SMASHER DYNAMO I could not refuse their challenge, as the champions, they had the right, and once the challenge was invoked, only one team could survive. ICEMOLE With valiant strikes the two teams fought with grace And in the case of the Bobbles with Grace But the Macho Men with final power Drove the Bobbleheads down into the grave SMASHER DYNAMO Indeed, valiant, but- Enter MONICRO MONICRO Hey, I'm Monicro! I'm new here but- BEET Is that an unattended child? HUMUNGUS The child has the smell of Rockford upon it. I claim it by right. It will toil in my acid mines. MONICRO What, no, I'm a new team owner? ICEMOLE A boy of such miniature stature here Own a team? The thought would fill me with mirth But for the nightmare too soon to give birth MONICRO I am so a team owner! The Florida Dickshots! We're going places? SMASHER DYNAMO Yes, the Gauntlet. Regardless, I have seen your papers, and they appear genuine, and, unfortunate for you, this means that you have joined the Super-League at a dark hour. Once again, we are besieged by a force of darkness. (aside) Though the depths of the darkness, I dare not tell them. They must never know the true evil of the Bruzer, for it would shrivel their minds and rend their souls. The enemy is evil, but they must know it to be a natural evil, nothing greater. MONICRO What? OLDSKOOL Bruzer's back. MONICRO Bruzer? ICEMOLE The black hand of the far lesser borough From Brooklyn he strikes, to hurt and defile Defeated before, he rises a foe And again, we would defeat him with guile SMASHER DYNAMO The Macho Men cannot fight this threat, for he has called for a mortal combat, and the Macho Men, by nature, stand above and beside mortality. Only a Super-League team can challenge him. And should that team fail, I am bound by terms of honor to give Bruzer the means with which to destroy the league. OLDSKOOL Why are we giving terms to that rear end in a top hat gently caress him, gently caress him, gently caress him, gently caress him, gently caress him SMASHER DYNAMO Our league is only as good as my word. That broken, the league is nothing. The Bobbleheads are no more. Humungus, you were the finalist, the next mightiest team of the realm. Will you not stand for this league, and turn back the assault of Bruzer? HUMUNGUS The Humungus does not fight wars for others. The Humungus fights for what belongs to the Humungus. I will not fight the Bruzer for you, Smasher Dynamo. SMASHER DYNAMO No? Is there no boon I can offer you to convince you otherwise? HUMUNGUS There is not. SMASHER DYNAMO So be it. Beet, you were a division winner, will you not fight for the Super-League? BEET I know that the day will come when I will have built a team of such power that it shall sail from victory to victory and plunder wins by the dozen. OLDSKOOL Yeah, like that's going to happen in my life BEET You'll see, Beet. You and Humungus. HUMUNGUS The Humungus would see that you pay for that remark. SMASHER DYNAMO Is that a no? BEET For now. The Dervishes are not the team to rely on. FOREVERBWFC And the W's? Are we not division winners? Do we not merit a chance to stem the tide of madness? SMASHER DYNAMO Perhaps. Perhaps. But there is one other I would call on first. He has not come here, so I have sent a messenger to him, with hopes to convince him to take up our banner. If not, ForeverBWFC, most loyal of owners, the team of Yoshida and McDowell will be our warrior in this war. Exeunt All SCENE II. Marauder's Stately Manor Enter MARAUDER MARAUDER Dark times, light times, grim times, bright times, the change Means little to me, for I am a man Who changes with the times, with five faces Or more, e'en I forget how many looks Reflect from the mirror back at my eyes Viscount, Sarsaparilla, Beckett, Goodwin These names are mine, though none suspects the truth It suits my purposes that they think thus Enter kw0134 MARAUDER A visitor to my own home? How sweet! And such a pleasure to see you my dear The buxom and comely lass, of whose name KW0134 Oh, god drat it! No, we're not doing this again, we're not doing this again? MARAUDER I am sorry if I offend thee so But thy lovely face a most stark contrast To these cold and lonely walls that surround My heart, my mind, my secrets most unknown KW0134 Shut up! Anyway, I'm here because Bruzer is back. MARAUDER The human condition admits no end To the evil that springs forth from the heart I wonder if we can be so foolish To think we can excise that evil for good KW0134 Can you speak normally? Anyway, for some reason, Bruzer has invoked mortal combat, meaning that the Macho Men, by dint of immortality, cannot fight them, I checked the rules, and there's no technicality to exploit. We need a living owner to take on this fight. MARAUDER And he would turn to me. I am honor'd. The fate of our league in my hands to hold. But I must say no. I will not fight now. (aside) The world sees me a villain. I agree And villains do not save the world, not now. But I shall thwart the coming of Bruzer If in another guise, with a kind face. KW0134 You know what happens if he wins, right? It's the end of everything. Fire! Explosions! Death! Double-Death! And I've heard rumors that it gets a lot worse once you get past that, especially since apparently he "knows" that I'm a woman somehow. MARAUDER I am sure that the hero shall save us. From where? I cannot say his origin But he shall come and bring a new bright dawn. KW0134 Great. That's really great. Exeunt KW0134 MARAUDER The time comes, I think, for this hero now To rise from my own heart and take my place MARAUDER adopts the guide of Archie Goodwin GOODWIN Marauder's gone now. It's getting dark. And when it gets this dark, then you want a man who lives in a world of noir. Fortunately, I happen to be real good friends with a guy like that. Real good. SCENE III. A forest on the outskirts of the Super-League Enter BRUZER BRUZER MWAHAHAHAHA! Soon, I will took over the Super-League and then everyone will see! They were fools to condemn! I knew better! I always knew better. But Smasher wouldn't let me succeed. He used those stupid Macho Men to kill my teams. But they can't help him this time! He's not allowed to use them, he can only use a living team, or near-dead, I guess, to beat me. And none of them have a chance. It'll be different this time. Enter MARAUDER in the guise of NOTTHATSAMBECKETT BECKETT Oh, good day sir, I didn't know that anyone would be coming through these woods at this time of day, although, the woods are pretty thick, so sometimes it's hard to see exactly what time it is, and I don't have watch, so I can't just check that, because otherwise, that would really make things a lot easier, wouldn't it, but I feel like watches are kind of pains to keep around so I don't usually wear them, which leads me into messes like this. BRUZER SILENCE! I am the great and powerful Bruzer, and I will not bear such insolence! What is your name? BECKETT Oh, I am NotThatSamBeckett, late of the Postmodernists, or is it that I have yet to make them, tenses are not a specialty of mine, and my teams rise and fall with regularity, and that's okay, because my friends in the Syndicate, now there's a term that I should not let slip, should I, because that could give away the whole game, but, then again, if there ever were a person unable to use that information, I guess it would be you. BRUZER One of Smasher Dynamo's cronies? Here to spy on me? I should crush you like a bug! BECKETT Oh, I hope not, because I am terribly afraid of bugs, and doubly so of becoming like a bug, as I am a postmodernist, as as my name says, and I am bound to it, and so the fate of Gregor Samsa distresses greatly me, as the resulting alienation and detachment from humanity would certainly destroy me as it did him. BRUZER Shut up! I'm going to destroy the entire Super-League, I don't have time for this bullshit! BECKETT Yeah, I heard about that, but I here that Smasher Dynamo has found a challenger willing to take you on, and that the challenger is steeped in magic and power and, on the cusp of your victory, will certainly destroy you, at least, so I am told. BRUZER Bah! Impossible! Nothing can stop me now! The Macho Men can no longer challenge, and who else can? Smasher could never make the Losers or Bangers challenge me, let alone defeat me, and if mrnoun tries to interfere, I will take extra pleasure in destroying him. BECKETT I've heard different, my good sir, but then again, it's just talk and that is cheap, though given your record, I'd half-wager that a strong uttered word or two might yet bring down your entire roster. (aside) He is confident, no doubt, too much so But the bravado hides his inner fear I'll draw it out into the cold day's light (to Bruzer) Yeah, Smasher's got a plan to deal with you, because as clever as you thought you were be invoking mortal combat, he's always got another plan, wheels within wheels and all of that, and as I recall, he's usually gotten the better of you in contests to see who the smarter man is. BRUZER Quiet! I am the Bruzer and you will not disrespect me! Now, out of my way, or I shall summon a super-train to see you dead. BECKETT A super-train, here, in these woods, the very thought alone feels me with dread, because those super-trains can barrel down on you real fast, they say one of those can get you from Brooklyn to Hell's Gate in a New York Minute, Bruzer. BRUZER Hell Gate, there's not possessive. BECKETT Of course, of course, of course, my error, well, I'll just be on my way. Exeunt BECKETT BRUZER That was weird. But it won't stop me from my mission. Smasher Dynamo will pay for what he has done to my teams! Exeunt BRUZER ACT II SCENE I. In a hut. FOREVERBWFC It seems clear that Marauder will not be the man to save the day. BEET Guess not. FOREVERBWFC Before I commit mine own W's to the fight for our league, though, there is a man that I must consult, a man, who it is told, can see things that have yet to be. BEET Guh? FOREVERBWFC He can present visions of times of which we may yet perceive, should we persist in life. BEET Muh? FOREVERBWFC He can see the future. BEET Buh. FOREVERBWFC Quite right. But I must warn you, I have heard most unsavory rumours of the man. They say that, and I must ask you to keep your humours in balance as you here these words, for they no doubt shall cause your bile to sure and your blood retreat into your hackles. BEET What's this guy's deal? FOREVERBWFC I hesistate to poison your mind with this knowledge, but I must. I hear this man is of Welsh desecent. BEET I see. FOREVERBWFC I can feel your apprehension, the thought that I would seek the counsel of such a man from such a land. But in these desperate times, even reasonable men must act desperately. Enter REVENANT THRESHOLD REVENANT THRESHOLD Hey, guys, what's happening? FOREVERBWFC Spare me your Welsh tiding, fiend! Your sorcerous powers are an act of supernatural aggression against all that is good, and I only seek your use of them because of the dire threat of Bruzer. REVENANT THRESHOLD I'm not Welsh. Not at all. FOREVERBWFC In my experience, most Welshman say as much. REVENANT THRESHOLD But I'm really not Welsh! FOREVERBWFC Or so you would have me believe. REVENANT THRESHOLD Yes, well, let us move on, you wished a vision of the future, did you? So be it, I shall peel back the curtains of time and see now ten seasons in the future of the Super-League. FOREVERBWFC Ten seasons? And the Super-League yet stands? Then surely Bruzer's challenge may have been turned back. REVENANT THRESHOLD Perhaps. The future is a tricky thing, what can be may never be. This may be a future that is yet destroyed, or a darker future still. It is impossible to say, I can only show what I see, and I see but with one eye, such is my lot. BEET Okay, well, fine, let's see it. REVENANT THRESHOLD The child you know as Monicro stands tall As tall as he can be with two titles The American man did here to fall Three times did lose he his hopes and vitals The boy is still small his hair not quite blue With these belts he is shock'd, a winner is he But in standings whole, third place is his due A way to the playoffs he can scarce see cbx grows red with rage for this kid Blue and white fade by, crimson in his eyes Anger fills his mind, for what the boy did No salve can soothe him, bile from deep rises The boy may yet die, torn by this fury Enemy so close behind, he must hurry  BEET Do these prophecies have to be in sonnet form? That seems unnecessarily complicated. REVENANT THRESHOLD I cannot control what form the visions take. It is outside my power. I see another though From trackless wastes ride three of one party A triad in name, in practice, in truth Two brothers do fight, in angst, not smartly Though one uses weapons, stly'd most uncouth A Monsoon! And a Baker, forces deadly To kill his own friend and take what he must They strike at each other, hits come read'ly But as it is writ, the Dinos go bust The Baker sneers coldly, the Monsoon howls "Die Alone", they say, and say it with pride Dig the grave so deep, into the Earth's bow'ls "Die Alone," again, the Baker hath cried! Down and down the Dinos fall on the loss Lest their fate change they will be petty dross  FOREVERBWFC Yes, these are interesting things you are telling us, but I was hoping for something a little more on point. REVENANT THRESHOLD The Ombudsman does cry, enough with verse! The Crows he does trample with joy and verve But the meter frustrates him, draws his curse The style does not please, tenses his nerve He demands an hearing, justice for he Smasher must pay for his writing mistakes To write in this way, no man should be free On this whole production, to hit the brakes But what of the Crows, and their dear leader As for the other, the one HulkaMatt A happy fellow, loves Reigns and Jeter For that he will hurt, one must belee dat With gold on his waist, he cannot lose all As always a twist has halted his fall  BEET Reigns? What the hell is a 'Reigns'? It's the summer of 2012, no one has ever heard of a Reigns. And if they did, what could it be that would make Smasher seem to want to destroy an owner's team just for liking it. FOREVERBWFC If this HulkaMatt is the same fellow who runs the wrestling forum, one must assume this unknown Reigns is some manner of grappler himself. But I can hardly see how in this day and age of CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, such an infuriating man could rise to prominence. REVENANT THRESHOLD The Rakers do rake, the Southpaws are hurt The attack in their waves, right as they are The Southpaws can't counter, the hand invert The team of darkness chases their grim star From Porthcawl they call, they march on Carlton The greatest shall fall, the Southpaws not set The hitters will hit, the pitchers do run Rakers must rake, and they get their upset No gold changes hands, that's too much an ask It's enough just to win, out there no less A triumph holds onto first in that bask Though more wins does he want and does profess The Rakers shall rake, and the world will learn For soon the time comes, and Bolton will burn  FOREVERBWFC That last one was a bit ominous. REVENANT THRESHOLD I suppose it was. FOREVERBWFC "Bolton will burn". Not exactly a good omen for the W's to challenge Bruzer, is it? Even if you say it takes place ten seasons from now. REVENANT THRESHOLD I have the visions, it is not within my power to make sense of them. BEET Well, this was a bust. FOREVERBWFC Nay, nay, if for nothing else, I have heard of a new rival that may wish to see Bolton burn. I must learn more about these Rakers, lest they rake me along with these so-called "southpaws". Though I do take your point about how these visions gave us little insight as to the current crisis. No matter, brave Beet, we have some answers, and perhaps that will be enough! Exeunt All SCENE II. Smasher's Fortress Enter SMASHER DYNAMO SMASHER DYNAMO Man, some day I am just going to have to give up this Super-League. It's too much stress! It's been seven seasons that I have done the Super-League, I don't think myself capable of doing seven more. Enter MARAUDER in the guise of VISCOUNT SLIM VISCOUNT SLIM Good morrow, Smasher Dynamo! How fares the league? SMASHER DYNAMO Ah, the Viscount Slim, who guides the Imperialists to so many triumphs. Tell me, have you come to release me from my woes, to take up the Super-League's ensign and drench it in the blood of my enemies? VISCOUNT SLIM I do not believe I am the man to take on the Bruzer. (Aside) I am, of course, most exactly that man Who will save the Super-League from chaos No man loves the league such as I now do Such love that it fills me five times over (To SMASHER DYNAMO) No, no, not I, not I, though a division winner I may be, this is a critical challenge, and the Imperialists are hardly critical challengers. What says ForeverBWFC? SMASHER DYNAMO He goes to see a seer, though I myself predict the visions shall leave him wanting, though I am not one to say sooth. VISCOUNT SLIM Hah! Quite the jest. But who then will challenge the Bruzer? Cannot Marauder be dissuaded from his course of action. SMASHER DYNAMO He cannot. Or will not. It matters not. A man of wealth such as he possesses cannot be bought cheaply, if at all, and I have no great trinkets with which to reward him. VISCOUNT SLIM How unfortunate, it truly is, but I believe that things will work themselves out soon enough. And now I must be off. SMASHER DYNAMO Fare thee well, Viscount. VISCOUNT SLIM And you, Smasher Dynamo Exeunt VISCOUNT SLIM SMASHER DYNANO I am beset by coward. Bah, that I could call forth the Macho Men and end this threat in a moment. But that is the one thing that I cannot do now. The terms of mortal combat prevent it. Would that I could finish him, and make him a fatality. Enter MARAUDER in the guise of ARCHIE GOODWIN ARCHIE GOODWIN Some fancy castle, you got here, Mac. SMASHER DYNAMO If you ever refer to me as "Mac" again, I'll see your tongue cut out! Why do you trouble me, Archie Goodwin, your team is dead, the Gauntlet hath slain it. Trouble me not until the next Expansion Cup. ARCHIE GOODWIN Well, now, my team is mostly dead. That makes it a little alive. I've heard that a guy like you, you can bring it back from the dead. SMASHER DYNAMO Mayhap I could, why would I? ARCHIE GOODWIN I hear you need a guy to 86 Bruzer. And I just happen to be a guy who's looking for a fight. SMASHER DYNAMO You would have me pick your team, already extirpated from my league due to its own weakness, to act as my champion in this, a most grave matter? I appreciate your confidence in yourself, but you will forgive me if I do not share it. ARCHIE GOODWIN The way I see it, you don't have many better options. SMASHER DYNAMO I will take it under advisement. ARCHIE GOODWIN I'd take more than that. SMASHER DYNAMO I will take it under advisement. ARCHIE GOODWIN It's your funeral. Exeunt Omnes -TO BE CONTINUED (MAYBE)- Team Statistics         Analysis Bill Campbell should be sent to Siberia.         Analysis The cruel reality of regressing to the mean.         Analysis Still well clear of the Nine in terms of keeping second place, the wildcard situation is a bit dicier.         Analysis Lucky for you the Losers are going away after this seasin. Still, this is a team that should be doing better, but isn't good enough to overcome bad luck.         Analysis It's still not impossible that the Knights win their division.         Analysis Still the champs!         Analysis The Dinos long, long chase of third place continues.         Analysis Not trending in a great direction.         Analysis All dingers, all the time.         Analysis Oh, no, Crows!         Analysis There's nothing outrageously bad with this team, but there's nothing all that good, either.         Analysis Progress!         Analysis Only 113 days until Cy Young is back! (Note: The season will not last that long.)         Analysis This team just doesn't lose all that much.         Analysis Hugh.         Analysis The Bombers are having a fine season, just in the shadow of the Southpaws.         Analysis Pitching is for nerds anyway.         Analysis This team could win its league. If it can survive the Kernels.         Analysis In strange aeons, even death can die. But apparently, even then, the Losers are going to smash Armitage's team good.         Analysis A bit lackluster for reasons I don't understand.         Analysis Beet will own this division forever.         Analysis See, the Nine did something!         Analysis Bad luck beats all.         Analysis Sodak is never defeated! Standings

So, wait, if I appreciate this boycott, because I very much enjoy court records and tragedies of the lyrical/prosaic variety (as opposed to the athletic tragedies we get to see in the Sub-Par League), would that lead to a cancellation of the boycott, because the point of it is to put out things unrelated to the current season as a form of protest and me liking it upsets that balance? Like, seriously, the entire rest of the season could be events from Super-Leagues past in play form and I'd loving love it. Then again, I'm a special kind of weird nerd that shelled out for archives access just so I could read the original threads.

The AI manager hasn't given poor sore Ernie Banks a single day off all season. Please sub in Robin Yount at SS in all lineups. Thank you Smasher! TheMcD posted:2001 Dickey has the knuckleball, it's the former. Thanks! Someone with an early to mid 2000s Rangers feeder please roster (or trade me) a good aged RA Dickey. His Lahman code is DICKER! Does anyone want to trade me a left handed hitter for 67 Hank Aaron? It needs to be one who can play a position other than 1B.

I'm a big fan of this update, which is weird because usually falling into last place is the last thing you want to have happen.

Anyway, let's do work if I want to stay out of last place. Goose Goslin back in LF in all lineups Sam Thompson in RF against right handed pitchers this week.

That really was fantastic. Please write part 2. I probably have like 1 week left in my recovery from deathitis (which was actually just a much-needed tonsillectomy and other than hurting a bit I feel great for the first time in months). Looks like there's nothing I can do to make a wildcard this season, though I'm likely to avoid demotion. My pitching is surprisingly adequate, but I'm just not scoring any runs. I'll have to address that in the offseason, but if someone wants to trade for Ed Delahanty or Vic Willis NOW, lemme know. Seeking a good 1Bman. I doubt Willis will be anything great NEXT season, but he's doing just fine this year and there's something to be said for acquiring him in a playoff push. In the meantime, Mattingly to AAA Medwick to big league roster Medwick plays LF. The LF Heilmann moves to 1B.

Depending on your definition of good I do have Olerud or Musial if you're interested for Delahanty.

Sorry Smasher, new lineups from the trade. Also I'm not quite finished the update but so far it's actually one of my favourites to date honestly. I wish I'd saved it for the train. Please call up Bryn Smith. Please call up Ken Oberkfell because Steambot told me so. Rotation Walter Johnson Satchel Paige Deacon Philippe Juan Marichal Cy Young Bullpen: CL Lee Smith SU Billy Wagner (the one who is already there) SR Mariano Rivera SR Billy Wagner (the one who is already there) MR Bryn Smith LR Joe McGinnity vs RHP CF Tris Speaker L 3B Wade Boggs L RF Babe Ruth L 1B Lou Gehrig L SS Robin Yount R LF Larry Walker L C Ted Simmons S 2B Joe Morgan L vs LHP 3B Wade Boggs L LF Al Simmons R RF Babe Ruth L 1B Lou Gehrig L 2B Riggs Stephenson R C Ted Simmons S SS Ernie Banks R CF Robin Yount R Edit: Nevermind I'll make a new post to be safe DannoMack fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Oct 15, 2015 |

Warren Spahn to SP5, move Brown and Oswalt up one spot. What is it with my pitchers all dying at the same time?

Just to be safe I'll make a new post instead of editing the last one. Please make Ruth LF vs RHP and Walker RF vs RHP, lineups the same. Sorry and thanks Smasher.

sorry for what is going to be an overly complicated post, but Send down Harry Hooper, and Bill Campbell,. Cy Young takes over as SP1, Rivera becomes the setup man. New lineup should be 2B Rod Carew 1B Joe Kelley DH Ted Williams LF Hank Aaron RF Ty Cobb 3B John McGraw CF Mickey Mantle C Wally Schang SS Johhny Pesky

Pash posted:I wish i had a babe ruth to trade away for that haul... It is big, but to put it in context: Cobb/Aaron were my RF platoon, so Ruth is an upgrade there for me. Cy Young was my LR, which is a stupendous waste of resources, and McGinnity is a good groundball pitcher in the SL so he's a reasonable replacement as far as LRs go. The biggest loss is Mariano Rivera, mostly because for a brief time I had a ludicrous and gaudy bullpen and that felt good. DannoMack fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Oct 15, 2015 |
