Is there some way to evaluate platoons, or do we just base it off historical stats and hope for the best?

I don't think it goes by historical platoon stats, only that batters get a very slight bump when facing opposite handed pitchers.

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

So after ive set my default lineups, what do i need to know about actually playing the season. This is my first time on whatifsports. Do we live-manage the games calling our pitch hitters/bullpens? Do we have to choose injury subsitutions? Could we ignore the website for 3 months and still win the championship?

You can basically do as much or as little as you want. Live play is an option, if you and your opponent are both on when your games are scheduled. Injuries only happen when someone is exhausted to a low fatigue percent, and only last until the end of the game.

26 teams is the 1992 format, which means two divisions (and two playoff teams) in each league. I forgot about that, and it's why 26 is kind of a bad number of players. Next season (there will be one!) I'll be sure to hold out for at least 28 if this happens again.

so you can have 3 divisions and a wild card team with 24 teams, but not 3 divisions and a wild card when you have 26 even though there was only two divisions and no wild card when mlb had 24 teams as well. what if sports is so arbitrary.
