Box Score Team Statistics Analysis Jeff Bagwell is hitting some dingers. That's something. Analysis Old Orel Hershiser is just not going to work. Analysis You have a billion spare players. Some of them have to be useful at a time like this. Analysis The Knights are leading the division by default! Analysis I'm looking at Schillings' stats, and the issue is that scads and scads of hits to the outfield are dropping in for hits. Analysis In a division this tight, that bullpen could be a killer. Analysis The good news is that if the pitching ever gets one step above 'horrific', the Doom should take the division. Analysis Better. Analysis Oh my god, this team and its Kevin Browns is going to win a wildcard. I don't know how to feel about that. Analysis New Hoss is getting into form. And that might be enough. Analysis I have no idea what's wrong with Big Oh. Analysis The Kernels are going to stroll to the division title, most likely. Analysis Finally, the dream has been realized! Analysis Moving in the right direction, still. Analysis This team has certain weaknesses at the margins. In that any time Curt Walker is getting a meaningful at-bat, something has gone wrong. Analysis On the plus side, with how the rest of the Dynamo League is doing, I'm betting that the top three teams in the Sic Transit Vir division are going to the playoffs. Analysis WHO IS IKE DELOCK? Analysis This team would be doing better if it stopped suffering from crippling injuries all the time. Analysis Failure Unit Beet is back! Analysis I can't believe Monicro got stabbed in the back by the Gay Agenda. Analysis In a couple of weeks, Alexander will be back, which should even things out. Analysis This is the most successul thing to have ever come out of South Dakota. Analysis Man, the Gumshoes are in the wrong division if they don't want to die. Still, one of the three teams above it might collapse. Analysis The Gay Agenda are going to need to rest people at some point.

My team... is confusing the hell out of me. Mauer my best obp guy? Connor sucking but somehow hitting for more power than OH? Collins being bugged by that old decrepit one into uselessness? And uh... Eddie Mathews leading my team in homers... I think with Oh! his contact just sinks him. Even in my stadium that should be boosting homers he has hit 2, and those small walls have not translated to more homers and a better average. I have been on the road a lot so far, but im not really sure whats going on. He's just been disappointing... but I guess thats not really anything new as he has had a negative WAR in two of his 3 seasons so far (mostly my fault for playing him in the OF...). DL the Injured Bender Put Orval Overall into the 5 spot to fill in Move Jack Pfiester to MR Call up Coveleski and stick him at LRP Lineup DH vs RHP: 1. Joe Mauer C 2. Joe Jackson RF 3. Eddie Mathews 3B 4. Albert Pujols LF 5. Cristobal Torriente CF 6. Big Oh! 1B 7. Roger Connor DH 8. Cal Ripken SS 9. Eddie Collins 2B Edit: No DH lineups! No DH vs RHP: 1. Joe Mauer C 2.

Smasher Dynamo posted:I'm looking at Schillings' stats, and the issue is that scads and scads of hits to the outfield are dropping in for hits. Well, I could change my stadium to have a somewhat less cavernous infield (though 445-455-465-455-445 is still rather massive), but you'll yell at me when I do that now, so... no changes it is. I'll need to do some experiments at some point to work out which direction is the smarter one, the "supercharge offense with high-altitude stadium that still has a gigantic outfield to limit dingers" approach or the "go sea level to limit dingers and still have big, albeit not THAT big a stadium to limit dingers". I mean, the correct answer is "not design a team around Curt Schilling you loving dumbass", but that's not an option here. EDIT: What would I even be looking for if I wanted really good outfielders for the "catch a whole bunch of balls all over the outfield"? Rickey? Would Kenny Lofton be good?

Huh. Well, that's a very good week, but I think you're overlooking the obvious danger with this team. It's not Brown slumping (though that'd surely doom us too), it's that there's basically zero depth at any non-outfield position. So when I get these little nagging injuries, it's pretty concerning. I'm fortunate that while interleague starts next week, I host the whole week so I still have the DH available. So... Lineup Changes 1.) Move Edgar to DH full-time, keeps the same slot in the order 2.) Move Hafey to CF full-time, becomes the new leadoff hitter 3.) Gil McDougald to 3B full-time, bats 8th This'll also free up Stephens to cover for a nicked-up Vaughan for a couple days. Rotation Changes If the injured Brown is scheduled to make only 1 start this week, do nothing. I'll let the AI handle it (presumably that means Honeycutt gets a spot start.) If the injured Brown is scheduled to make 2 starts, swap him out for Roy Halladay. Sorry I'm giving you an if/then statement here, but I can't tell which Brown is which. Roster Changes Demote Mattingly, promote Goslin Thanks so much!

Smasher Dynamo posted:It starts Week 8. Alright. Well, I guess you can still do the DH lineups already, because barring an injury, I'm not making any changes next week. EDIT: I am considering replacing Cool Papa Bell with Kenny Lofton, but that's a decision that requires more time to pass to be made. TheMcD fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Jan 15, 2016 |

Okay my team has shaped up so I will come manage them again. 1) Platoon Bassler and Piazza 2) swap McGraw and Collins in the lineup vs RHP 3) rotation: Old Roy #2 Starter Roy Felix #4 Starter Roy Nolan Ryan 4) pray for Felix e: Oh, also send Old Manny down for Elmer Flick and let Baby Manny DH full-time Mornacale fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Jan 15, 2016 |

Smasher Dynamo posted:You have a billion spare players. Some of them have to be useful at a time like this. Need to see where I can fit Blyleven, Bunning, and Hooton into the pitching staff. Offense woke up a little bit, and 4 games back of third is not an insurmountable deficit with so much time left. If the pitching ever decides to come into form, well, survival is possible! Also I wouldn't mind upgrading at 2B, that would help a little bit.

The honest truth of it is that I have zero ability to judge relievers. None. Sure, I know the best of the best of the best, but I don't know what guys are actually slightly better than loving fodder and what guys aren't. I wish I had Paul Assenmacher or Slow Joe Doyle or even "Pope" Don Pall, but, c'est la via. In the meantime, Bullpen Whitey up to Closing Duties, Mike Boddicker at SR, send Old Man Shocker down. I'll give the Doby-Kelly platoon more time to gestate, because I probably don't actually have much to lose over being demoted here.

Smasher: My plan in RF was hoping one of Tommy Holmes, George Harper, or Curt Walker would actually BABIP well. None are AWFUL players, they're just not Paul Waner levels, but I figured I could count on 1 in 3 of them hitting well and carrying their load. They're the only guys I have who can field RF reasonably well, which is necessary given my pitching and stadium or else I'd throw Heinie or Goose there. And yeah, my IF depth is poo poo, so please don't break any more of them.

I feel like I gave cbx every possible warning there. He's gotta know that Chelsea Baker is pretty much always watching and she does *not* like giving up runs, or complicated last names, so Yaz was pretty much screwed there. I am also *extremely* pleased with Turkey this season! It took a bit, but he's finally hit his stride, so thank you Smasher. Please start Ryne Sandberg at 2B against right-handers this week, leaving Hornsby in against lefties. No change to batting order Hornsby needs some rest, it's too early in the season to lose him to a rather predictable (for him) injury.

Hey TheMcD, do you still have that Scherzer? I don't see him in your minors but maybe that's because your minors are too full for him to show up in screenshots.

Aaaaggggg. I am highly tempted to punt defense entirely, move Rickey to the infield, and run an Earle Combs / Bob Meusel platoon, but I guess the smart thing to do would be to hold my nose and play Luis Aguayo at short. Sigh. Bat him ninth against both hands and move everyone up one spot, please.

A few things to fix tiredness: 1. Make Darrell Porter the personal catcher of Robin Roberts. 2. Replace Hornsby with George Grantham vs. RHP for this week. Hornsby is fragile and needs his rest, clearly. He can't always be tired.
