Great I guess....but a two edged sword, a sign of too many people getting on base.


Wow! You turned 11 DP in 3 games That's crazy!

Ouch, Dale tied the game on this set of events

0 A.Hicks 5-3 Single & Error - P b-2 gb(P)x F4
SUBSTITUTION at P: Jesse Hahn (R)
0 2 D.Gregorius Wild Pitch 2-3 F9
0 3 D.Gregorius Wild Pitch 3-H catch-x F9

Now, Matzek is a lousy fielder, but it's still only 1-5 for a hit and then rolled a 1'for the first WP and then a 1-4 on a Catch X.

Went on to lose in 10 after those events tied the game. Ouch.

Been scuffling on the road so far. :( We're in the middle of an 18 game roadtrip!

That is a bit crazy...I often notice back to back wild pitches, I think that is odd.

yeah, for sure it happens. I've seen it playing FTF also. Just the luck of the dice. The interesting thing about this one was that it was a Pitch X, WP of the pitcher's card and then a Catch X.

I'm sure I get these kind of breaks at time during the season too, just thought it was a weird combo of events.

Joe, looks like you got the crazy western division schedule. Early on, you play 27/30 games on the road!
I have discussed it with Milleram before, and it certainly makes it hard to evaluate your players when you barely have any home games before the first drop point.

Best of luck in that, but in all leagues there is one Western division team that has that crazy schedule.

I have been wondering about that schedule and have an idea if I get it to build a completely neutral team, ignoring my ballpark considerations, then before gm 42, swap out players who are better in my park. The 5% hit is fairly nominal but maybe i do better across home/away for the entire season. Will try at some point.

Isn’t that almost what you did in pc5? Seems to be working so far! :) Interesting strategy. The problem is that if you’re in an auto league, you randomly get assigned to a division. So I guess you’d have to revamp your team twice?

Well, the 30 game stretch ended tonight. We went 16-14 with a sweep of our only home series so we went 13-14 on the road. Not all that bad I guess. Hopefully now that we're playing at home for 33 of the next 45 games (with one 9 game roadie) we can put together a little run. I hope so because then we have 18 of 21 on the road. Such a weird schedule.
