Popete posted:Quick Google says that cross platform is supported for online leagues as well. Saw the sale and have it sitting in my cart. Played a decent amount of an earlier version of the game and enjoyed it. VERY arcadey, if anyone's not aware. Not idea if I'd have time to commit to playing a season or not - whatever that may entail.

Again I'd have to dive into and play the game more myself to really figure out how the season mode works but I am envisioning a low committal thing. Maybe play 1 or 2 matches per week, could put it to poll and figure out what works best for people but I'd prefer it be something that wouldn't take more than say an hour a week to play. And yes the game is very arcadey, games can be shortened to just 3 innings as well. There is a free demo if anyone wants to check it out first.

A little late but re The Athletic, the Pirates beat writer is complete dogshit. One of the dumbest people in sports media, it’s still a shock that they hired him. Just because of that I’ll never pay for it as long as Biertempfel remains on staff. That said I use my friend’s login credentials to read other stuff on there sometimes.

The first headline I saw was "Brewers trade Renfroe for Junk" and I thought it was tongue and cheek like they made some really lovely trade, but no that's just the other guy's name lol

Guess that solves the David Stearns mystery; he doesn’t want to be associated with a sell-off while looking for a job with Houston or New York.

Popete posted:Super Mega Baseball 3 is currently on deep discount for the Steam sale. I just picked it up myself not having played since the first game. It's a fun arcade baseball game that also allows for multiplayer leagues with team/roster management. I am now doing a joke season where all of my players have maxed stats and my goal is to average over 50 runs a game / get one player to 1,000 RBI. Also, SMB3 is the only game that has ever made me wince and feel bad when you line something back up the middle and knock the pitcher out. Something about the sound of impact and movement of the rag doll is horrifying.

secular woods sex posted:It’s arcadey but still fun. During lockdown I put about 1,000 hours into 8 or 9 full single player seasons in SMB2 and SMB3. I picked it up last night and I have no idea what's up but I absolutely can't hit for poo poo. Was bombing HRs in SMB2 and haven't hit a single one in practice mode yet. So basically, I think I'll be roleplaying the A's or something.

 question - does the player trading go on all the way to sprint training/the start of the season, or is there a cutoff date?

The only trade deadline is the mid season one at the end of July. However, teams don't generally do much trading (at least of big-league players) after ~spring training in a usual offseason.

Mike Maddux is coming back to be the Rangers pitching coach. This is good news. Coincidence he comes back after Jon Daniels is gone? I dunno, but good lord there seems to have been no shortage of bad blood in that front office for a while there.

live with fruit posted:Can trading restart after the regular season or after the playoffs? As I remember it you used to be able to make a trade after the deadline of anyone not on a 40 man roster or who cleared waivers. They took away the waiver thing but I think you can still move non-40 man minor leaguers. I believe you can start moving 40 man players after the World Series ends same as when Free Agency and 40 man rosters clocks start.

Yeah the opening of trade season is officially 9AM Eastern the day after the last game of the World Series and this continues until the trade deadline You just generally see them come in flurries clustered around GM meetings and the trade deadline itself for relatively obvious reasons

You can (and teams have! For example the Cubs traded for a guy named like masturbatony) right now. But big trades and free agent signings tend to happen during and after the GMs have their winter meetings that are in early December. The last few non-lockout years have had teams waiting to make big signings as a sort of soft collusion against spending money, but it feels like this year could be a frenzy if Judge signs quickly.

Yeah, the entire market will likely be waiting on Judge and to a lesser extent, Correa. So once the Cubs sign both of them, the rest of the league can fight over what's left.

A corner outfielder who can hit 30 dingers, but doesn't get on base a ton or play great defense, is pretty replaceable. Useful to have around, but teams don't love paying those guys when they hit arb. Eddie Rosario, Adam Duvall, guys like that. They tend to get non-tendered and bounce around.

The Rays officially released Brendan McKay earlier. I remember him getting a ton of hype for a few years until his arm exploded and he never really recovered.
