Also, the general rule is, if you see me doing something, you should always do the exact opposite and you will have great success!

My 9th playoff appearance is about to happen. I've ridden my MDP ripoff team to a 110-49 record so far, and with any luck, i'll win another, or at least get to another world series!

Groucho Marxist posted:Dang, you guys are fast. I guess I'll join a goon league since people will be willing to help me learn the game. When is the next one starting? We're a quarter of the way through the current one, but we constantly join OL's, so next time there is a goon rush, we'll make it known.

Someone help me think of a good name for this rule V team. I can't think of anything good. Edit: Just did the lineup analysis for this, and it came up with the highest runs per game i've ever seen. 7.509. Not so bad! ArtVandelay fucked around with this message at 16:00 on May 10, 2011 |

I'm pretty sure Tony Phillips played a few games at SS, and has a D/D at fielding. Should I move him to SS and Wes Parker to 2nd?

Now that gardenald unceremoniously dismantled my team in every way possible, it's back to the drawing board to win that ever elusive 2nd world series. Here is my change of MDP's team. I'm using a couple offensive guys i've never used before, in Pietz, Grimes, Anderson, and Delahanty. Pitching is largely the same, except for Buttons Briggs, who I just want to try once for the hell of it. Would this team be anywhere near as good as the last?

Ivan Drago posted:What were the park restrictions on the 2-man Band league again? I assume it's a park one of your two guys played in at some point, yes? Or is it open? As far as I remember, it was completely open. I can't remember perfectly if there was a DH, but i'm going under the assumption that there was.

Nerokerubina posted:So i've never played this before, i chekced out the free game and it was pretty ridiculously overwhelming the volume of players that are arounda theme league like this seems like a decent time to start for that reason but also seems like it's weird to start in a super-heavy theme league on my first go, what do you think? Well, this 2 man band league is just about the easiest theme league you could possibly partake in. You only pick 2 players and just let the season happen. You really don't have to do any heavy lifting, because no matter what, you're going to have hundreds of passed balls and even more errors. Just reading the box scores for the games are tons of fun.

Here is my like father like son Dixie Walker Sr/Jr team. My hope is that the offense is awesome enough to make up for the underwhelming pitching (except for Walter). I'm also sad that I just had no room for Hank Greenberg unless I played him extremely out of position in 2nd or SS. Also, i'd have to make my pitching staff even worse, and I don't want to do that. There's no stadium restriction, should I put this in new Yankee stadium?
