Very excited to have signed Wally and Al Gutierrez to extensions ensuring they see out the end of Trey Seller's Horrible Contract.

I would be in favor of that though as Nasboat mentioned, it would basically have to be on the honor system. That's fine by me, I don't have the patience or give-a-gently caress to game the system like that. But I am totally in favor of trying to eliminate some of the stupid tricks that are really frustrating in this game.

I mean, ultimately go nuts if you want. It would just be nice to not have to worry about that sort of chicanery when there are enough other ways HBD is incredibly loving annoying.

I'm in the camp that is not particularly excited about this move. While 10/5 rights are definitely annoying, much like NTCs I've always accepted them as a part of the game and when I've run into them, haven't pursued this particular method to get the deal done. I think it's a bit unfair that it was never made clear (a) this was permissible in the league and (b) that was the purpose for roping in TMB in the first place. I'm not outraged, but I do have to say I'm not keen on this being a thing. On top of the max contract stuff, it's been a frustrating offseason for skirting the edges of HBD's mechanics.

I wasn't overly outraged about it before, but I have to say the dismissive and flippant attitude is pretty frustrating. There is endless complaining about the injustices of HBD but to blatantly skirt the game mechanics just because they are inconvenient is - to be quite honest - absolute loving bullshit. On top of gaming the FA system to save a few million, I think it would behoove parties to realize this is at best unprecedented and at worst unethical and we address this as a league. But it's more than a little disappointing to encounter an attitude of "well it's probably been done and honestly who cares?"

nasboat posted:you can address it to me specifically, I'm the only one who hasn't been overly apologetic about it, the other two have been more than helpful. But god knows *I* won't be doing any of this again, so at least that's one problem solved. And if it causes the world to look closer and set some ground rules about things up front, that's great. e: I apologize, my reply was out of line. And it's gone now.

It's the greatest contract in history. I got to a Game 5 Wally start against Jeff in Year 1 and it's all downhill from there.

nasboat posted:so is uublog just never going to fix his pitching staff ever, or what I'm in favor of booting him out. He's been made aware of it multiple times and has responded so he clearly knows. But he doesn't seem to give a poo poo so I'm of the opinion we sort it out sooner rather than later.

That was the one that finally got you? A 6 point discrepency between vL pitching/hitting? I just assume ratings are a big ole' mish-mash of poo poo that sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. e: I should clarify, I'm not saying it's not annoying. But Cody is a stud pitcher and it doesn't seem unreasonable that even against a good vL lineup he'd toss a 3 hitter. If he were a say 56 vL? Dubious.

AlleyViper posted:I believe you mean a 23 point discrepancy? Oh I misunderstood and misread, my bad. I thought you meant you had an avg 80 vL lineup, not eight lefties. Didn't realize you meant the difference between his vL/vR. AlleyViper posted:Unforutnatly, VsR seems to rule the day in HBD pitching. Yes I believe this to be true and have spent the bulk of my time in Portland trying to figure out which stat matters next. I think it's control.
