So, this is pretty cool. Somebody crunched the numbers and ranked all the pitchers in the league by rotation position. The league works in such a way that the 1 starters will always face other 1 starters, 2s face 2s, and so on.

I don't actually feel so bad about the Pies pitching now. Sounds like a lot of us will be aiming for the pitching improvement blessings.

I love Blaseball and I especially love the community. Far far and away the best online game-related community I’ve ever participated in. This is such a salve for such a poo poo year.

Considering blaseball players may only rest during a siesta and injuries are impossible, that's not surprising. No one ever needs rest, there's never pitching on short rest, there are no bullpens, etc. The "real' world would also always have aces face off if at that poo poo didn't matter.

Yeah, I know, I just think it's cool the league works that way and I like that it gives you a real clear idea of how your rotation stacks up. Like, the Tigers rotation, which is insane, they have one top ten pitcher in that rotation slot, two number ones, and two top five pitchers. They are going to have to get fluked out of the playoffs, I think.

The Crabs disappoint me once again - the whole team fell apart during the last 3 weeks of the season.

It's almost worse since we came so close. 52 wins versus 53 wins by both the Pies and the Talkers... I was seriously up til 1am last night waiting to see if we'd miracle it out.

When I started a camping trip Thursday afternoon they were only a handful of games from taking top spot over the Tigers. Came back to civilization today to find they missed out on the playoffs by 1 game :negative:

You guys almost had it but the Pies choked in the 9th against the Talkers.

PLAYOFF UPDATE. Tigers and Moist Talkers currently in a win or go home game 5. Could be a big upset, most people figure on the Tigers being playoff favorites.

Blaseball does not want to end. The last day of the season had the longest game in the history of the splort, and now the deciding game of the final series has gone to extra innings

The problem is that the tigers are going to try to spike the second two most popular decrees and push them over the top. Between that and some really tasty blessings, I think they can do it.

I'll be fine with Tame the Tigers going through, but I think the fourth strike would just be more interesting, and the shame penalty thing too. My team is so far away from contention that I guess I'm more focused on Blessings for us. Any of the playoff/ close to playoff teams will be greatly aided by Tame the Tigers, though.

A one off 4th strike was in play during Season 3, and one of the statlords wrote a paper on it and simulated the season if the four teams didn't receive it. Seemed interesting, at least. Mills got to the playoffs, but they also benefitted from another S2 blessing that earned them 8.5 stars worth of improvements to their players, and they made the playoffs in S4 without the 4th strike based on basically the same roster.

Simulated shame, however might have less application since shame is pretty rare, especially for a top 4 team. Here's how many shame games each of the top four teams lost in the regular season:

Tigers 2 (in a row!)
Jazz Hands 4
Firefighters 4
Millenials 4

I checked the stats and the extra runs that the shame applied to the next game didn't change the results of any of those followup games. Tigers' two shames were actually consecutive, and getting the shame runs carried from the first game to the next would have caused the second game to NOT be shamed.

I think it only got added to The Book recently but yeah the way it was written it was for every season.

Same way the S2 version of 4th Strike was just for S3, but the version we're voting on now is now applied every season.

Pretty happy with the results of the election for the Crabs. Getting Ollie Notarobot off the pitching mound and into the rotation is going to improve the team by a lot, and switching James and Henderson isn't a bad situation either.

I'm kind of surprised at the decrees - Targeted Shame is super situational so I'm surprised so many teams went for it. I guess I'm not too upset about Alternate Reality. Changing up the lineups is probably for the best, but I'm going to be mad if Notarobot gets sent to the bullpen.
