TheMcD posted:FairGame, I'm feeling a bit ripped off from back when I traded you Sergio Romo for Smoky loving Burgess. I believe your Romo was dead at the time and you were trying to survive relegation, so it wasn't so bad. Anyway you gave me Lindy McDaniel that one time and he managed to lose like 5 games in 4 appearances before I put him back in his box, so I figure it's even.

From The Diary of Eclectic Tastes, July 25 posted:
ANALYSIS: With your modern players, I almost wonder if it's not worth trying to go full-on power pitching and seeing what happens. ANALYSIS: Underperforming that pythag like nuts. This team has a shot to win its division. ANALYSIS: I hope you know what you're doing, because the evil villian gimmick doesn't work if it just fails repeatedly. You're smart, though--I trust you'll figure it out. ANALYSIS: That Dickey injury sucks, to be sure. But Campanella has stepped up in limited work. With the hosed up schedule having millions of off-days, you could probably ride Campy until Dickey comes back. ANALYSIS: You've got a very good shot at the division (though you had it before, to be honest. This is a good team.) ANALYSIS: Your pythag suggests you aren't anywhere near this bad. Just unlucky. Might as well get a nice draft pick while you're at it. ANALYSIS: Your pitching still sucks, and your offense has started to cool off. You've built a big lead. Is it enough? ANALYSIS: I guess you don't really need to gather data on Noodles the Pitcher. ANALYSIS: Never has there been an owner who can do more with less. ANALYSIS: The offense just isn't there. Pitching's fine, though, so there's hope. ANALYSIS: Not gonna lie--I'm thrilled that Nails is struggling. I hate that guy. ANALYSIS: The thing about the Homer at the Bat hitters is that for the most part, they can't hit. Also, did you not roster Darryl? I should dock you wins just for that. ANALYSIS: You've got an outside shot here. Though given IRL events, I should probably penalize Rosenthal about a million points. THE 80s REMEMBERERS ANALYSIS: Lonnie Smith was one of the better players of the 80s. You'd remember him better if not for his making a baserunning blunder in the 1991 World Series where he got faked out on a ball in the gap and failed to score from first base. ANALYSIS: You're foiling EC's master plan. Neat. ANALYSIS: If the Dukaki come back to the pack a little, and you come back to TAKE MITCHELL BOGGS OUT OF THE BULLPEN GODDAMN, you've got a shot here.

Make A-Rod the starting SS for this week. I don't know what happened, but it didn't seem like Masked got any days off, and is immediately sore again. He needs a break.

First off, Bill Dickey to the DL, Roy Campanella to C, call up Al Lopez to the bench. No personal catcher orders this month, Campy will be out there as often as possible while Dickey is injured, and will hit at his normal spot in the batting order. Let's also reverse the SS platoon, since that was simply based off which one I wanted hitting more. Pee Wee Reese hits against RHP, Glenn Wright hits against LHP. Also, what the hey, let's give old Dazzy Vance a shot in the rotation: Vance to SP5, Preacher Roe to LR. That is all.

and after that, you can spell the name of the left handed pitcher, first name marc, whose nickname is scrabble and started out as a starter for the blue jays before becoming a reliever for the cardinals, followed by a bunch of other teams, and is now a reliever for the a's at last check

Mientkiewicz was cool. He coaches in the Twins minor league system currently. Back when I was a kid the twins had ads that pretended that school house rocks made a song about how to spell Mientkiewicz's name because it was so complicated.

The question shouldn't be "is this guy actually a good defensive first baseman", but rather "why would you ever care about defense on a first baseman".

TheMcD posted:The question shouldn't be "is this guy actually a good defensive first baseman", but rather "why would you ever care about defense on a first baseman". I always find out why when I try to put Dan Brouthers there. Your first baseman gets so many chances that it's terrifying to see a .960 f% from him.

Honestly anyone who has a non old dead Babe Ruth, I'd love to talk about my Ted Williams + one of my good third basemen. EC, Superleague, whatever. Or for any EC owners I could also give you some acceptable corner OFs. But either way it's on the table to anybody.
