Super-League XXX, Repechage: OVERTIME


: Okay, good, let's break this tie.
: So, how does this work again?
: Right. So we have three teams vying for two spots in Super-League XXXI. Therefore, by Super-League Rule, we use a round robin tiebreaker. Each team plays the other two teams once, for a total of three games. Now, the team that loses two games is eliminated, and the other two teams move on.
: What if each team only loses one game?
: It's fine! Don't worry about it!




: See, the Goats lose a game, and so they're only one loss away from elimination.



: Now the Club lose a game, but since they won the first game, they're safe. And the Diamond Joes are safe, because they won this game.



: And now the Goats win a game, so they're safe.
: Wait, but doesn't that mean all the teams are safe?
: No, because you see, the thing is...drat IT!
: Do we have to do it again?
: Yes, we have to do it again! It'll work better tomorrow!

Super-League XXX, Repechage: DOUBLE OVERTIME


: Okay, we're doing this again. To briefly recapitulate the rules, the first team to lose both of the games they play in during a single round robin round is eliminated and the other two teams advance to Super-League XXXI.
: And if all three teams go 1-1, we run another round.
: That is not going to happen. Things will different this time!



: Okay, the Goats win a game, they can't be eliminated.



: And Baseball Club wins a game, so they can't be eliminated either. So all that needs to happen is for the Goats to beat the Diamond Joes, and we are done here. Now, forzelt, I don't like you, and I don't care what you feel about me.
: Really?
: Well, no, at this point in my life, my self-esteem is so shot that I'm desperate for everyone to like me, but deep down know they hate me as much as I hate myself, which is an infinite amount.
: That doesn't seem healthy.
: It's fine! Anyway, forzelt, I need you to win this game. I need you to send habeasdorkus down to Pungratory, where he can suffer. I need to see him suffer, with all of his happiness and not being constantly consumed by anxiety and depression all the time to the point where it all seem so pointless. CRUSH THE DIAMOND JOES, FORZELT! SEND THEM TO TOTAL OBLIVION!



: WHY?! WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME?!
: It's okay, Smasher, maybe the Diamond Joes will die tomorrow!
: EVERYTHING IS PAIN!

The last time one of these happened it resulted in me winning my division and then sweeping a vastly superior Finger Bangers team out of the playoffs, with saves by Joba Chamberlain in I think all 3 games.

Basically what I'm saying is the Super League is very different now than it was years ago.

If you are really serious about Baseball Mogul, then the advice is to pick a strategy and make sure all of your players are historically great in that area. For example, offensively, you could go with a contact-heavy, speedy team. Find players like young Tony Gwynn that have high batting averages throughout their career, along with high OBP (on-base percentage) and even high stolen base totals. Make sure all your fielding positions are filled by similar archetype players, maybe throw in a high power hitting player for maximum RBI potential, and then design your stadium with large dimensions, short grass and excellent visibility so you get the most out of your players' talents.

Defensively, if you go with the contact hitting strat, you want pitchers that minimize contact or give up more fly balls vs. ground balls, so you don't fall victim to your own strategy.

I'm sure others can give better advice, as I'm pretty mediocre at all this.

Super-League XXX, Repechage: TRIPLE OVERTIME

: Wait, Smasher! Before we get started, we have a reader question?
: What? How is that...fine. Let's hear it.

t a s t e posted:

I tried picking this game up after I tore my meniscus and my team is hot goat cheese, general strat advice?

: First of all, I think hot goat cheese is an ingredient that is actually used on food, for example, the French dish of Chevre Chaud, which is similar to a Welsh Rarebit, albeit the bread and cheese are broiled rather than toasted. So, I'm not sure if you're saying that your team is bad, or if it is haute cuisine. But, beyond that, I think what one issue may be is that you, like a lot of players, are skipping side quests and recruitment missions, which means that not only are you missing out on quality players, but that your other players aren't getting the levels you need. If you're just starting out, I recommend you take the "Secrets of Evermark" quest, because at the end, the Masked Shortstop joins your team, which is obviously a big help. You can also do the "end_humanity.exe" questline, which gets you the MACHINE, though, obviously, how you equip the MACHINE is a large factor in how well that works. There are a lot of MACHINE builds on the internet you can probably find that will work. Again, I don't know what expansions you bought, and so what other quests are available, but that's probably a good start. Anyway, on to the tiebreaker.



: Great. Who cares?



: Wait! YES! The Club wins, which means they advance to Super-League XXXI, and it also means that the final Goats/Diamond Joes game is an elimination game, since one of the two teams will have to lose, and therefore go 0-2. We're finally done! Okay, forzelt, the time is now, all you need to do is not screw this up!



: If I were the Goats' closer-
: Well, you aren't! TIEBREAKER OVER! GOD drat IT! DannoMack, Yaya, Llama, I expect habeasdorkus' second tenure in the Sic Transit Vir Division to be brief and violent. Do not fail me.

Center Line Sneki Sneks

First, a quick geography lesson. Center Line is a small, 1.75 square mile city in the middle of Michigan's 3rd largest city, Warren. The population as of the 2010 Census was slightly over 8,000 people, and as of the 2020 Census will have gained around 350 people. It was named Center Line as it was in the middle of trading post trails between Fort Detroit and Utica during the early settlers era. The city's southern border is approximately a mile and a half from the northern border of Detroit (Eight Mile Road) and its northern border is the I-696 expressway. Go Sneks!

1956 Sandy Koufax and 1986 Willie Hernandez are the newest Sneks. mks5000 is up.
