All - Fred has quit the league over concerns on how accurate the simulation is handling his players. I will be actively trying to find another owner, but in the meantime I will be piloting the franchise
Oh man it is just a real fun game. Heck it is only a computer and sure it might not make sense. But remember when Big Pappy of the red Sox in real life a couple of years ago could not hit a HR??? It happens slums bad pitching poor hitting awful fielding.... A Brews team??? LOL anyway here is to a great season!!
Arguably, the Greatest Pitcher of all time, Walter Johnson gave up 5 earned in 3.1 IP. My EXcellent defensive CF Mays gave up the losing run on an ERROR. My catcher, drafted for his over 60% caught stealing percentage, gave up TWO SB, one the game losing run.
Of course, seeing that an OF can come in and throw out an attempted steal and make a great play at first after dropping the ball makes up for my stud catcher giving up two SB.
Walter Johnson had a 3.08 ERA in the 79 resims and last year in ATB pitched to a 4.43 ERA. Hardly a pitcher that cannot be shelled in a game or two. This was common knowledge before he was drafted. Willie Mays's defensive stats are Ex/79 (Also known before the draft) which means he gives up 79% errors of a normal CF, good but hardly perfect. And the two stolen bases that were given up by the 60% catcher were to people that who in real life were successful stealing 81% and 74% of the time. One of those, Ty Cobb, is considered one of the best base swipers of all time. There is not a single thing I see here that is out of the norm. -Leonidas
Fred, are you kidding me?! You're dropping out after five games because you don't understand the concept of small sample size? You don't hear me bitchin' about Bill Bernhard's 5.25 ERA. And, on top of everything, you exit with the comment that all of Lou's efforts (as well as those of everyone else who drafted) are "not a productive use of my time"? Dude, man up. -Steve
Greatest of all times vs the Greatest all times. It's basically back to being just barely above average for most great players. I'm sure Walter rarely ever faced line-ups like this on a daily basis. Willie Mays manaed to have over 140 errors in his playing career....it's wierd to imagine that he could have a couple here. Lou does an insane amount of work to make this league work. It's crazy to quit on your team after such a small sample size. - Jusin
does anyone else see the irony in a team named "For Love of the Game" quitting a purely for fun game because it is "not a productive use" of their time?--Joe V

Pretty ridiculous sims from my cheap seats.
Not a productive use of my time.

Actual
DeleteSorry
I think everyone has summed up just about everything, so all I can add is...
ReplyDeleteWow.
