I never thought I'd see .500 again...... It seems the D-3 teams are just beating each other up.

TLK

Radii · 03-14-2003, 12:15 PM

I've lost 4 in a row to D-3 teams on the road, 32 more road games in a row to go. :/

Sublime · 03-14-2003, 12:33 PM

My Manchester Silver Bullets just reached the 40 win mark!! We're proving to be strong at home with a 21=4 mark. But not as good on the road with a 19-13 record. Our team avg is .270 and an ERA in the mid 3's.

bbor · 03-14-2003, 12:40 PM

Woohoo...down go the Vatos...i'm keeping the rubber

I'm afraid of your team, if things stay the way they are we're going to have to start calling you George Steinbrenner.

damnMikeBrown · 03-14-2003, 12:53 PM

Is there anything involved in financials aside from payroll? I read where a popular player brings in more attendance. I don't see anywhere that it translates to more dollars for the team, however. The scouting & development is all based on how much you don't spend, under the cap. So is attendance & popularity pretty much just fluff then?

bbor · 03-14-2003, 02:32 PM

Anyone had an injury yet?

I've had players at -69% stamina...but no actual injuries.

TLK · 03-14-2003, 02:36 PM

I don't think injuries are in the game yet..... it's promised in the next build with trades and such.....

How did your relief pitcher manage to get a save in a 26 run rout?

TLK

Radii · 03-14-2003, 03:45 PM

I believe the official rules are that a relief pitcher is eligible for a save if he pitches 3 full innings and finishes the gameregardless of the score.

For the love of God, when do we draft???

I keep expecting to see some draft results posted.

Radii · 03-14-2003, 11:34 PM

the documentation i read said 5 real days after the draft list is posted, regardless of the number of games per day on the schedule. Course, I forget when the draft list was posted.

bbor · 03-14-2003, 11:41 PM

i suk....

daedalus · 03-15-2003, 12:04 AM

Wasn't the draft list posted somewhere around day 40?

damnMikeBrown · 03-15-2003, 01:22 AM

The draft was posted 40 games, 5 real days into the season.

The draft takes place 5 real days, or 40 games, after the draft is posted.

In short, we draft when game 80 or 81 rolls around. A mid-season June draft.

PilotMan · 03-15-2003, 12:32 PM

Nobody can touch my team's pitching.

Looks like we are battling for a wild card spot if noone can catch the Silver Bullets in Div2.

Radii · 03-16-2003, 06:26 PM

Draft is done. I'm not sure how I got the guy I did at #1, I was trying to set it up so I would get a youngin, none of this 24 year old middle of the road talent BS.

BreizhManu · 03-16-2003, 07:19 PM

Since I was drafting last, I don't even know how were ranked the ones I drafted...

I like my 2nd and 3rd rounders (even if I don't really need a defensive SS) but don't know if my 1st rounder is going to do anything good (superb throwing power but that's all)

damnMikeBrown · 03-16-2003, 09:25 PM

I was picking 2nd to last. I'm actually rather pleased. I got my 10th ranked player (23rd), 20th ranked player (47th), and my 58th ranked player (71st).

I set up the rankings before I read in the rules, where, if you start a player at a position for 80 games, he switches to that position the next season. Still, I'm very happy with the talent I got. Now, if I'd only known that you couldn't adjust your spending priorities during the season . . .

Coffee Warlord · 03-16-2003, 11:09 PM

I bet my #1 overall pick was a bit of a surprise. Simple. I wanted a solid starter to come into my rotation immediatly for the 2nd half. I had a black hole at the #4 slot in my rotation, so there ya go. We'll see how he performs.

My other picks should be decent players in a season or two. The CF I got may see time next season, considering he's the only true leadoff hitter we have, and already rated high at plate discipline. The 3rd round pitcher...give it a few seasons, and he'll be a #4-#5 starter.

bbor · 03-16-2003, 11:15 PM

I got NOTHING i needed

oykib · 03-16-2003, 11:26 PM

I got the guy that I had rated #1. But his number fell as soon as he got into my system.

JeeberD · 03-16-2003, 11:31 PM

The guys I got suck. One of them may one day make a servicable player, but he'll never be above average. Ugh...

BreizhManu · 03-17-2003, 06:57 AM

Just realized that i'm currently 18-4 in my 36 games road trip

Coffee Warlord · 03-17-2003, 09:24 AM

Hmm...not the best start for the #1 overall draft pick.

5 runs, 3 walks, 8 hits, 7 k's in 7.0 innings of work.

I doon'y know about that. The 7 K's are encouraging. You don't really expect him to have any polish yet, do you?

Coffee Warlord · 03-17-2003, 10:34 AM

The Palm Desert Avengers demand perfection!

But yeah, I agree with you on the K count.

Radii · 03-17-2003, 10:59 AM

A 3 game sweep over Whalers Connecticut may have saved me, I'm back up to .500 on my long road trip(12-12) with 12 more games to go.

damnMikeBrown · 03-17-2003, 03:03 PM

I made a little draft summary for Div 4. It's burried on the page here somewhere.

BreizhManu · 03-17-2003, 08:18 PM

That game is weird sometimes, a few pitching bugs : my closer plays 1/3 of an inning, makes 3 strikes, no hit, but doesn't get a K ??? see it here

The third strike was when the ball was put in play on an 0-2 count for the final out.

At the risk of jinxing myself, we are on a tear. Playing a major homestand, and have vaulted from 3rd to 1st. I hope it can continue.

Div 2 is definatly where the best teams play!

Coffee Warlord · 03-18-2003, 07:01 PM

After a 3 game sweep of the Vatos, Palm Desert closes out their ungodly 40 game road trip with a big test against league leading Victorville.

The team is itching to get this trip over with, as they haven't seen their homes since May.

edit: And bah. Division 4 is the powerhouse here! I'll sweep this series to prove it!

Taur · 03-18-2003, 07:04 PM

Time to break out the Prozac

Sitting in last place of Division 1 and thinking things couldn't get mush worse, I notice that in 3 days we begin a 33 game road trip.

How low can we go?

PilotMan · 03-18-2003, 08:59 PM

Coffee, an 11-1 loss is a great way to start a series. And how you establish dominance, I am in awe.

BTW in my massive homestand I am 32-16.

We were 16-6 in our last road series and are about to go on the road again.

Coffee Warlord · 03-18-2003, 09:04 PM

Lulling you into a false sense of security, I tell you!

TLK · 03-20-2003, 01:17 AM

Somehow, after being in the cellar, I have recovered and am now tied for first place in Div 3. What the hell happened to the rest of you guys in that division?

tucker342 · 03-20-2003, 10:24 AM

I'm tied for forth in division 2, with my record I would be in the lead in division one and three.
