With the previous renaming of the afblgeneral and commishnews (Slack's default general channel), I had to archive the previous afbl_general/general channel. Good news is that the Slack-RC bridge is working in both directions.

Hello from the Rocket.Chat side :D

whoa crazy.

AFBL Commish
2020-01-08 16:27:32

Indeed from the Slack side 😉

lt
2020-01-08 16:27:34

it definitely works bi-directionally

lt
2020-01-08 16:28:17

Yes that is the only reason we might be able to make the switch. We'll keep testing this week and see how things go.

lt
2020-01-08 16:30:39

If anyone else would like to help test out Rocket.Chat beyond those that have previously, just let me know and I'll add you. The hope would be to get rid of the Forum and make Rocket.Chat be the hub (with Slack staying around while there isn't an official StatsPlus integration).

AFBL Commish
2020-01-08 16:32:29

Current URL is chat.afblbaseball.com and is viewable in a preview mode until I create and send credentials to you.

yuda
2020-01-08 16:35:39

how thorough is preview mode? good enough that a potential new member could poke around and see how things run?

AFBL Commish
2020-01-08 16:36:35

ya looks like when that url is accessed without being logged in, the user can see the Home page (with all of the links and next sim info etc) plus the channels/threads

lt
2020-01-08 16:53:14

I really like that you can have more than 1 channel as a read-only like we were limited to in Slack. RC offers "Read-Only" and "Broadcast" channels where with Broadcasts non-admins can respond to the post in a thread. Along with the Announcement banner feature for each room.

jeheinz72

Either way slack will always be up to date right?

mstreeter06
2020-01-08 17:58:59

Yes correct

mstreeter06
2020-01-08 17:59:21

Especially without any StatsPlus integration

lt
2020-01-08 18:18:22

Still debating on whether to add the new channels in RC like for FA claims, MVPs, and such over in Slack or what the flow/process would be.

yuda
2020-01-08 18:55:16

If we have both apps, I’d probably just mirror channels 100% then people can use the app of their choice (although idk if DMs will go both places)

mstreeter06
2020-01-08 19:14:15

Not sure on DMs working with the mirror. Something curious about as well. Adding the RocketChatBot app to the channel is what triggers the API and such.

lt
2020-01-08 19:00:41

Yeah that's what I want to test. Either have everything mirrored in both RC and Slack or only keep the channels we need for StatsPlus on Slack side.

jeheinz72
2020-01-08 19:02:31

Honestly I probably won’t grab a separate app

Oh I’m starting a dynasty on the ootp boards about a John Tudor-based multiverse. I started two random debut leagues and have them paused on draft day where he’s available in the draft class (like one is in the 50s, I forget the other one), then I’ll get the 1985 actual Tudor and the Tudor from 1989 whose World Series ring helps transport him around the timelines. lmao

@AFBL Commish do you want me to post FA claims in the channel the next few days to test it out?

Don’t do it I keep telling myself. Given up too much already. But Bob McCrary has gone .449/.531/.957 with ten home runs in 19 games since joining Orlando. Gave up a lot but he looks promising and should eventually fill Sean Butler’s spot.

Jude O’Neill has been good in relief and Lopez should give us some slugging that has been missing from other players this year.

5/6/9 ratings at retirement, but that knuckleball was still rated an 8 so I don’t think the other pitches would have mattered much

We suck at one-run games. And we lead the league, for the moment, in RD. I’m guessing one-run games are important. 😒

Trying to address that with all the trades but starting pitching has been very uneven. Room for growth still though so I don’t want to tinker with it.

Although a good LF or CF should be able to play RF easily too

If they have a good arm. Don’t have to have as good an arm to play well in LF/CF.

Yeah even though 1b isn’t that easy To play

x24rocks
2020-01-18 13:42:21

Leftfield should be the easiest position tho in OOTP think it range matters more 

chappy
2020-01-18 13:42:30

He had good infield glove and range ratings tho, so it was mainly a lack of experience

👍 x24rocks
jeff_new_mexico
2020-01-18 14:22:09

The defensive spectrum is as follows: DH - 1B - LF - RF - 3B - CF - 2B - SS. Generally speaking, the further to the right, the harder the position is to play and the harder it will be to convert a player to that position. -from the ootp manual

NM pitching had a good sim allowing 10 runs in 6 games. Only loss 2-1 to Kentucky’s Colon and Mulder.

NC is promoting 6'7" 19-year-old Hyotaru Takahashi for the next sim, trying to find some young pitching options.

Jorge Marquez has taken some talent hits this season.

chappy
2020-01-28 10:33:13

NC has had a bad August but still sits on top of the South with a 6 game lead, so I guess everyone chasing me has had a bad month too.

chappy
2020-01-28 12:56:10

Turd Newton is crushing the ball right now. In 122 games he has 15 more hits than he had in 144 games last year. He already has a career high in doubles (33) and is 2 HR shy of a new career high. 7.7 WAR right now.

wow - great season!

lt - Idaho
2020-01-28 13:02:12

We are having a weird season. Honestly 72-54 is shocking. Antonio morales (2b) is really the only guy having close to a career season but he has had 2 others at this level.

lt - Idaho
2020-01-28 13:04:07

In good news mal Cantrell has caught some fire and has been quite productive for us. 0.8 WAR in 36 starts - which would be second bast career mark at the afbl level.

chappy
2020-01-28 13:23:06

Carmichael's 250 wins is actually 4th most in the league... He's 42 so he won't be the first to reach 300

lt - Idaho

mstreeter06
2020-01-29 07:54:50

Correct. We just add the International FAs to the available players for our Draft.

yuda

Although you’ll still get random-discovery int’l amateurs through the season signed to your international complex

chappy

Yeah I feel like a very high percentage of star players were international finds, but I guess you wouldn’t go to the trouble of importing them if they weren’t really good

6-0 sim. Swept WV which we NEVER do. Feeling good down the stretch, as long as nobody else gets hurt

jeff_new_mexico
2020-01-30 12:14:25

@chappy you have the lowest strength of schedule too. That should add to the good feeling. 😁 Anyone know how the xSoS is calculated? Does it use the simulation winning percentages and average them?

jeff_new_mexico
2020-01-30 12:14:58

In StatsPlus playoff odds

yuda
2020-01-30 12:31:42

it’s based on something like third-order expected wins based on the components of runs created or something

yuda
2020-01-30 12:32:46

the real question down the stretch is whether Washington can pull off that WC2 spot and keep an absentee owner out of the playoffs

yuda
2020-01-30 12:32:54

(I’ll be on work travel Feb 4-9)

mstreeter06
2020-01-30 12:34:43

It’ll honestly be whoever stays the hottest down the stretch

yuda
2020-01-30 12:34:54

Carl Neil being on the DL again hurts our odds

yuda

right now I’ve got Dan Jackson “playing” 1B vs. RHP and Jeff Geddes DHing

although just-benched Jose Mendoza went 2 for 5 with 2 HR this sim

Sounds very doable barring the-slump-that-never-was-but-yet-might-happen-still-maybe-next-year...

its doable, but its def a rough finish. need to have a good sim tonight.

yuda
2020-01-30 13:28:03

I feel like I need Idaho to stumble because relatively speaking Washington has a cupcake schedule.

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:32:23

I got 3 home versus Texas. Obviously i need 2 wins there, but a sweep would go a long way towards a playoff birth. Hoping for a split in ontario...

yuda
2020-01-30 13:40:28

3 at home vs Illinois. Need at least 2 of those. And then two at New Jersey. Not going to hope for a sweep on the road, but I absolutely have to split. And then two in NY (bleeding into next sim); same story there.

yuda
2020-01-30 13:40:38

that brings Idaho to Portland on the 16-18.

yuda
2020-01-30 13:41:36

I notice we’re done with Colorado. But all of my remaining series with the other playoff contenders are at home. 3 each vs. Idaho, Kentucky, New Mexico, Washington over the last 2 weeks

yuda
2020-01-30 13:41:44

2 at California, I guess technically they’re not eliminated yet.

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:41:54

3 texas, 2 on, 2 PA. 5-2 puts me in good shape, 4-3 is ok. any less and I think it will start getting interesting

yuda
2020-01-30 13:43:29

that’s pretty much my own assessment of the next 7 games

yuda
2020-01-30 13:43:42

although I have to make ground, you just need to tread water

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:44:04

exactly. but this is the easiest stretch I have left. so I need to rack up wins

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:44:46

if I get 5 of the next 7, then I really only need 1 win per series in the last 6 series to make it tough on the chasers

yuda
2020-01-30 13:45:05

Alfredo Cabrera is 1-1, 2.11 in his last 3. It would be very helpful if he remembers how to pitch down the stretch.

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:45:27

I have Guevara slumping. that is not going to help right now

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:46:19

and you are so right about Washingtons sched... he should make a strong push

yuda
2020-01-30 13:46:50

I’d accept a fifth cy young award for Mendoza a reasonable consolation prize

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:46:54

you have a solid run until the last 9...

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:47:01

relatively easy matchups

yuda
2020-01-30 13:47:30

yeah the best thing about that last 9 is we’re at home for all of it

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:47:35

that is nice

jeff_new_mexico
2020-01-30 13:47:44

All this is making me overconfident lol

yuda
2020-01-30 13:47:52

40-26 at home; 35-38 on the road

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:48:20

@jeffnewmexico your schedule is pretty soft too.

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:48:34

I don't think our series to end the season decides the division.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-01-30 13:49:15

Maybe not but we’ve been neck and neck all year

yuda
2020-01-30 13:49:32

based on those percentages alone, I should expect to win 12-13 out of my last 23, but obviously that doesn’t account for the schedule

yuda
2020-01-30 13:50:21

(although statsplus has us averaging 13-10 over that stretch, so not a bad estimate I guess)

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:50:34

our saving grace is that we are currently 37-30 away from home. I have a weird team

yuda
2020-01-30 13:50:46

evidently at least one sim had us go 21-2

yuda
2020-01-30 13:50:48

I’d take that.

lt - Idaho
2020-01-30 13:50:56

yuda
2020-01-30 13:51:16

flip side is there was a 4-19 sim

I can't believe the sim generator has Georgia winning 21 in one run. doesnt make a lot of sense...

yuda

I dunno. I think baseball is probably the major U.S. sport that has the most competitive balance from the top to bottom of the league most years

jeff_new_mexico

5000 sims is a lot though. Lots of outlier possibilities.

lt - Idaho

They are 59-80. Just doesn’t seem like they can win 33% of the total wins to date in the last 23 games

2020-01-30 13:58:21

a few seasons ago Oregon won like 26 games in a row

yuda

outside of that stretch, we were like a .450 team. But we made the playoffs because of it.

Turd Newton continues to be hot. 23 games left and he already has career highs in Runs (120), 2B (34), HR (33), RBI (101). Plus he's hitting 55 points above his career batting average and his WAR is up to 8.5 (previous career best was 6.6).

You need to sweep me. 2-1 will help, but not like a 3 game sweep

yuda

A sweep gives me a chance to catch you. I’m more focused on staying enough in the race that the 3-game series hosting Washington I close with is meaningful.

I’d say that’s the nature of being in the best division but somehow Washington lucked into an easier close.

lt - Idaho

agreed. it just seems like Washington played a lot of interdiv games early and now is getting the other league which is in a coma this year

lt - Idaho

That was key. We have all our home games left this sim versus red hot Washington and Colorado.

Both NM and ID have locked up playoff spots though correct? I just looked at it quickly but I thought that’s what @lt - Idaho meant by catching a break.

lt - Idaho
2020-02-05 08:46:45

Yes. If Oregon sweeps Washington then Washington ends at 91 wins. If Washington sweeps Oregon then Oregon max win total is 89

New Mexico and Idaho already at 92

Oregon cannot win the division. Washington cannot win it outright - they can win in a tiebreaker.

Pitching went south in a bad 2-4 sim for NM.

Las Vegas leads 3 games to 1 over Raleigh in the AAA championship series. Probable next year NM starter McCormick (18-8) pitching game 5 for the Dons.

SS Steve Anderson is my first free agent signing to work his way through the minors and make the NM roster (due to injuries to Martinez and Battle).

If anyone misses StatsLab, I've found a way to get it up and running (still uses old PHP 🙃). Dave with StatsPlus has nearly everything StatsLab has now but there still are a few items that haven't gotten written for S+ like the Playoffs and Managers pages.

You can access with this URL: https://mstreeter06.website/ootp/afbl/statslab/ (I will have afblbaseball.com/statslab redirect there soon). Default password is baseball and please just log in with your name lol.

AFBL Commish
2020-02-13 13:22:27

For StatsLab, we had left it but actually the developer (Frank) is working on updating it to work with PHP7+ and messaged me yesterday. We're a guinea pig with this pre-release version.

I have StatsLab back up for those that want to access it here: https://matthewrstreeter.com/ootp/afbl/statslab (the location I posted a week or so ago is gone FYI). You will want to use baseball as the default password and then want to update.

I had asked to have it live on our StatsPlus hosting but that wasn't possible (or likely Dave didn't want it on there) so I've asked Dave to have the StatsPlus player pages link to where our StatsLab is now hosted on my personal domain.

it wasn't a rule, but it was childish. fun tho

lt - Idaho
2020-02-18 16:29:20

the setup of the league was jacked. so we did an inaugural draft - then the budgets came down one year in and I had to liquidate most of my good players. so I said f it. lots of owners bailed, but i didnt. just tried to lose every game

lt - Idaho
2020-02-18 16:29:34

i didnt start 275# 1B in center field or anything

lt - Idaho
2020-02-18 16:30:45

but I had some interesting pitchers. lol

lt - Idaho
2020-02-18 16:30:51

guys with 1 stuff and 1 control

lt - Idaho
2020-02-18 16:31:04

pretty sure I had a guy go 0-30 with a 12 ERA

lt - Idaho
2020-02-18 16:32:34

it started off innocently - I wanted to see if 18 year olds would still develop if they were rushed to the bigs

lt - Idaho
2020-02-18 16:32:48

then it just got fun trying to find worse and worse guys with bad attitudes

I think the trading draft picks more than one year out rule because some of us were trying to trade draft picks 5 years in future back in Start of league, And it would be Tiresome to keep track of I think the most we did was two years

Would be fun to see what happened if there was a league where the goal was to lose though. Would it be a high scoring league or low scoring? Dominated by bad pitching or bad hitting? 🤔

I wouldn’t suggest doing anything about it. Makes the league interesting as it evolves.

lt - Idaho
2020-03-19 20:18:10

it ebbs and flows. remember that 5-7 year period where everyone had too many catchers?

lt - Idaho
2020-03-19 20:18:42

or the time nobody could find a CF

chappy
2020-03-19 20:18:46

Definitely a shortage of SS who can hit, but that’s just realistic

chappy
2020-03-19 20:19:37

Also my rookie league team has a lot of SP talent. Perhaps a youth movement is on the way.

chappy
2020-03-19 20:22:03

Kiristopa and Cornell are probably my only my only SPs that should be in the majors, with Takahashi a point in control behind... so when half your rotation should be in AAA I guess you get weird results.

chappy
2020-03-19 20:23:19

27 year old rookie Jorge Guerra is 8-4, but only because we score 10 runs when he pitches.

chappy
2020-03-19 20:24:06

If he could get his third pitch above a 2 he’d be decent

Do we need to increase the draft timer for the later rounds?

jeheinz72

are we sticking to the usual sim schedule?

yuda
2020-03-20 09:27:51

2020-03-20 11:09:05

I plan on keeping the sim schedule to have the draft due before Wednesday's sim so that's also a factor

mike_new_jersey
2020-03-20 14:43:06

yeah draft times also a tough one, we're pretty good at drafting here though.. in saying that 5 of my first 6 picks have been pitchers... hmm

AFBL Commish
2020-03-22 10:39:49

Looks like we'll finish the draft today or tomorrow but undrafted players wouldn't be eligible to be claimed until we reach the end of the draft technically.

Should we think about adding 2 more rounds to get us to 10 total or is 8 rounds enough for everyone? Just brainstorming as we get through this first new time for the draft.

Zach - KY
2020-03-22 11:02:55

I'm good with 8, I'm on autopick by then anyway, then people can scoop free agents.

broken record here but historically picks after round 4 don't pan out (I know there are exceptions). I don't think it is necessary to go more than 8.

Not sure I'd want more than 10 if we ever did add any rounds. Just curious what others thought.

I’m not against adding 2 rounds but i don’t see a real Point in it.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-03-22 12:48:06

Hmmm now that I think about it more, having everyone pick another two rounds is going to reduce the stock of free agents. I usually find a few useful guys after the draft and not everyone goes after them....so I change my vote. I like drafting but not as much as finding those post draft FAs.

Haha I’ve got nothing against him, but he played for our biggest rival in HS, Rockford Auburn.

But funny thing - he of course played at Witchita State before the nba, but I was a student manager/video coordinator at Bradley University with Men’s basketball. They were in our conference so I was part of the staff for all 4 of his seasons there.

In fact, I proposed to my wife at halftime of a game where we hosted Wichita and he was playing lol. Game was on ESPN2.

Don Craig - also acquired in the trade for Cruz
Luis Lopes - yep, - also acquired in the trade for Cruz
Jeremy Mastin - 12th pick in the 2048 draft

mike_new_jersey
2020-03-23 23:58:30

Ben Mitchell and Enrico Ornelas (32nd and 33rd picks in the 2048 draft) are a couple of pitchers who have the potential to break in to the rotation with a bit of luck in developing their 3rd pitches, or they'll make a couple of awesome relievers

chappy
2020-04-03 08:50:07

I just don't think I have the pitching to compete in the postseason. I was hoping there'd be some in-season development from Takahashi, and while his 11-8, 4.38 season isn't terrible for a rookie, I really want him to get that control up to 5 or better (potential is 8...). Cornell/Kiristopa/Takahashi could be a decent October trio, but not with Takahsashi walking so many guys. I guess if you score enough runs you can overcome bad pitching, but that's what I've been trying to do these past few seasons and while it works over the course of 162 games, it's not worked in the postseason.

chappy
2020-04-03 08:51:20

On the bright side, my bullpen is solid, so maybe I just set quick hooks on the starters and rely on the pen in the postseason.

chappy
2020-04-03 08:53:02

yuda
2020-04-03 09:19:19

maybe it's random, but it feels like the more-recent versions of OOTP are better at modeling guys (especially pitchers) who are really uneven season-to-season

yuda
2020-04-03 09:19:59

I feel like I used to have guys who were, like, a consistent level of mediocre. But now you'll have fringe-major-league guys who once in their career will give you a borderline all-star season, that sort of thing

yuda
2020-04-03 09:21:26

I'm starting to prepare for the fact that Frank Baker is probably going to have to move to 1B (or DH) in the next couple of seasons.

yuda
2020-04-03 09:21:42

Not sure I have anybody in the system who could take over for him, unless I just want to go all-glove at the spot.

chappy
2020-04-03 09:44:23

Turd Newton dropped from a 7 to a 4 in CF a few years ago and I tried him in RF for a year and he was okay but then I put him at 1B and he went from no rating to 9 in a few months. I know Baker is a 3B but maybe he'll have similar success in a transition

chappy
2020-04-03 09:45:50

It's funny how 1B was the one position I was struggling to fill in this league. I hadn't had a guy who was competent with both the glove and bat there since 2022 with the exception of Lo's overachieving year until I moved Turd there in 2047

chappy
2020-04-03 09:48:41

seems strange that a guy with quick feet like Baker only has 4 range

yuda
2020-04-03 12:15:00

I think at its peak his range was only 5 or 6. I assume the idea is supposed to be that he's not very good at positioning. As his speed has dipped slightly he's gone down to 4 range.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-04-03 13:07:34

I think that range is a combination of mental quickness, physical quickness and positioning ability (and anything else that has an impact on whether a player can get to a ball hit near him). And speed, as a rating, is only how fast a player can go from base to base and has nothing to do with range.

lt - Idaho
2020-04-03 10:00:44

I am toying with the idea of trying Raul Silva at 1B - but his ratings don’t really indicate that he can make that transition...

Zach - KY
2020-04-03 10:41:19

Did a quick chart - I've always been interested how much position rating mattered, especially at 1B, but here's Efficiency rating vs 1B rating for all players with at least 100 innings at first this year.

Zach - KY
2020-04-03 10:47:33

Seems slightly more predictive than this chart - Average of IF range and IF Error vs Efficiency

Richard Hager
2020-04-03 11:49:21

that's interesting

yuda
2020-04-03 12:17:48

appears his infield range peaked at 7. his speed has gone from 10 to 6, and he's gained 25 lbs since those days

yuda
2020-04-03 12:18:50

arm and error are way more important than range for a 3B, but I figure he's in his decline phase so it's gonna come sooner or later

Your secret is out! I’m into mine too. Used to not care too much about winning in minors, but I’ve started to believe that winning will help with development. Pretty sure it won’t hurt.

lt - Idaho
2020-04-15 09:46:21

the return has not lived up to what was traded away, although Gonzales really only had 1 good year for WV and Benitez had a couple but has been injured a ton. Reg Thompson is a stud Catcher, but I had Silva, then Akiyama and had nowhere to put Thompson...

chappy

I've been lucky with scouting discoveries too

lt - Idaho
2020-04-15 09:46:53

Gianni Girard has been a solid CF, Isaac Turton flamed out after one good season and the 3 pitchers I got look to be average. They will all pitch in AFBL, Mario Gomez is 13-18 so far, Jeff Amery, the prize of the trade, looks like he will never develop a 3rd pitch, and Kobayashi is wild, but has good stuff.

lt - Idaho
2020-04-15 09:48:09

Scouting discovery has not been as kind to Idaho. I blame myself for Pepe Aguilera, who never developed to his full potential. Octavio Bentiez was a great discovery, but injuries derailed that career. Even Akiyama is good, but injury prone...

chappy
2020-04-15 09:48:41

Anyone would be good with Choppy Orozco and Flash Rodriguez, who were both scouting discoveries

chappy
2020-04-15 10:06:38

Random trivia about Flash Rodriguez... I had Matt rename him because I had another catcher the same age with the same name. I almost chose Lefty Rodriguez, because one of the Jose Rodriguez's was a righty and Flash a lefty, but I went with the sarcastic 'Flash' for him... he has 4 career SB in 9 attempts. 🙂

chappy
2020-04-15 10:07:10

The original Jose Rodriguez is currently Flash's backup

2020-04-15 10:08:12

chappy
2020-04-15 10:10:18

Coincidentally Choppy was also renamed, although I don't remember his original first name. He's named to be a cousin of former NC star Slappy Orozco. I don't think Slappy and Choppy every played together though.

I will be resting my two good starting pitchers. Business as usual for the rest of the team.

chappy
2020-04-16 07:45:23

Choppy has a good chance at 50 HR and 150 RBI. Plus I feel like my guys get rusty when I give them the last week off. Cannot take a chance on losing 1 of my two good SPs though.

jeheinz72

NC team records on the line: Choppy Orozco's OPS of 1.102 is barely ahead of Turd Newton's record 1.010, est last year.

chappy
2020-04-16 14:33:44

Turd Newton needs three runs to break his own team record of 139 runs, set last year.

chappy
2020-04-16 14:34:31

Choppy Orozco needs 10 total bases to break Turd Newton's record of 391, set last year.

chappy
2020-04-16 14:35:12

Choppy Orozco has already set the team HR record with 48, breaking his own record 46 set in 2045.

chappy
2020-04-16 14:35:38

Choppy Orozco needs 2 RBI to break Greg Smith's record of 149, set way back in 2017.

Record watch in Oregon:

  • Lou O'Slattery's SLG is .602, team record is .607 (Jeff Cummings in 2013).

  • O'Slattery now also holds the HR record on his own (52). Previous record was 49 by Cristian Ramirez in 2021.

  • Hector Roldan has 730 plate appearances. Team record is 744 set by Alex McCullagh in 2019.

  • Team record for runs is 125, set by Cristian Ramirez in 2019. Roldan has 111 and O'Slattery 110... seems like a stretch but stranger things have happened over a 6-game stretch.

  • RBI record is 139 (Bobby Brooks in 2016). O'Slattery has 136.

  • Hector Roldan has already broken the stolen bases record with 67. Previous record was 66, set by Dennis Christopher in 2042.

Marc broke Derek Anderson’s 2016 record of 18 triples he has 21

Yeah they are @AFBL Commish at least I’m 99% sure. It’s a setting that can be turned off/on league wide

x24rocks
2020-04-18 11:54:04

It’s a strategy setting, Even if you turn it from zero We have to decide to do it because we are human managers

lt - Idaho
2020-04-18 11:54:19

Can you turn it off by team? Or is it player by player

lt
2020-04-18 11:54:42

NC and ON have exports in. We can wrap up the Wildcard Series whenever VA is ready.

lt
2020-04-18 11:55:34

I would imagine it gives teams the option of using the Opener role

x24rocks
2020-04-18 11:57:35


It’s a strategy setting it’s not on no matter how high it’s set unless you want it to be, I have it set at 2 (rarely) in MLB in my solo league And higher in my minors but I personally do not use opener/follower setting

x24rocks
2020-04-18 11:59:52

According to the Chappy Sports Bureau, during the regular season 8 of the 9 batters in the NC lineup hit over .300. This postseason, only 1 player is batting over .300 (not counting Steve Larsen, who is batting exactly .300), and he is Luis Martinez, the only regular NOT to hit over .300 during the regular season.

Choppy - minor league HBP totals - 26, 15, 20, 23 - def not random

chappy
2020-04-19 20:47:41

Maybe height plays a factor?

Yeah, he’s always around 20... Simpson’s always around 8

mstreeter06

chappy

chappy

Hoping I can get another quality start out of Jorge Hernández

chappy

Man, I missed that three guys retired before the end of the playoffs, including Jesus Ortega and former first round pick Eddie Wheeler.

chappy
2020-04-20 10:02:21

Well, made it through 1 inning without allowing a HR

chappy
2020-04-20 10:07:14

@John_Washington how do I instruct my pitchers to throw at Saucedo?

John_Washington
2020-04-20 10:07:47

Watching now.

chappy

Morales just hit his 9th HR of the postseason. Record for a single postseason is 11

John_Washington

The boys are hitting the long ball 🙂

John_Washington

Great six innings by Fernandez

John_Washington
2020-04-20 10:16:40

Make it seven.

chappy
2020-04-20 10:17:58

I don't think the chart for this game will be very interesting

John_Washington
2020-04-20 11:05:08

Murdock not

John_Washington
2020-04-20 11:07:34

7 hits, 1 run. Not good.

chappy
2020-04-20 11:07:39

7 hits allowed already!

John_Washington
2020-04-20 11:09:40

Murdock really in a slump.

BOOM

chappy
2020-04-20 11:18:55

uh ohs

John_Washington
2020-04-20 11:27:37

OK, now Tavares replaces Robles in the rotation

John_Washington
2020-04-20 11:31:34

Ooh, Flash was injured running the bases. Day-to-day or out?

John_Washington
2020-04-20 11:33:08

I think I saw that somewhere.

John_Washington
2020-04-20 11:33:43

Yeah, in box score

chappy
2020-04-20 11:35:38

If he is out next game can I get a file?

John_Washington
2020-04-20 11:40:07

You can't make roster changes during a series I don't think.

John_Washington
2020-04-20 11:40:27

I have to drive my wife. I'll miss next game.

lt - Idaho
2020-04-20 11:40:28

he can change the batting order though

John_Washington
2020-04-20 11:40:38

Yeah, he could do that.

chappy
2020-04-20 11:43:25

Yeah it's mainly because he's my #3 hitter. Don't want backup catcher theire

chappy
2020-04-20 11:44:03

By the way, I am going to petition to change the spelling of there and their to theire or maybe even theiy're so people no longer use the wrong one

AFBL Commish
2020-04-20 11:48:46

chappy
2020-04-20 11:48:55

How is Flash?

AFBL Commish
2020-04-20 11:49:34

😢 Torn ankle ligaments. Out 5-6 weeks..

chappy
2020-04-20 11:49:41

well that sucks

chappy
2020-04-20 11:58:42

We never hit this poorly at home.

chappy
2020-04-20 12:07:14

Whew, actually got morales out for once

chappy
2020-04-20 12:12:48

Looks like extras unless we can get a 2 out rally

chappy
2020-04-20 12:13:15

And we go to the 10th

AFBL Commish
2020-04-20 12:15:02

Wow to the 11th (catching up after lunch and nap lol)

chappy
2020-04-20 12:17:34

and the 12th

chappy
2020-04-20 12:18:27

Ooo runner on 3rd with no outs... could this be it?

chappy
2020-04-20 12:19:11

Ernesto Gonzales with his 2nd RBI single of the game to end it in 12.

chappy
2020-04-20 12:19:17

REALLY needed to win that game.

AFBL Commish

chappy

Still faced with the daunting task of picking up a road win with one of my bum starters

chappy
2020-04-20 12:21:27

Series is now down to a best of three, but Washington has stolen home field advantage.

chappy
2020-04-20 12:23:24

I think it's the 11:05 PM ET starts of these games. No fair.

AFBL Commish
2020-04-20 12:25:29

Looks like 8pm CST for starts (weird it isn't 7pm)

On my team schedule page the home games are 8:05 ET and the road games are 11:05 ET

Well, we've exported with a new batting order and no backup catcher.

👍 AFBL Commish
chappy
2020-04-20 12:38:22

If I'm trying to find a silver lining, I'll say Jose is a slightly better defensive catcher than Flash, and he has called better games judging by CERA, but there really is no silver lining when you lose the #2 player in PL Most Valuable Hitter voting.

Jose should watch the traffic coming to the park. I'd hate to see an outfielder behind the plate.

😂 AFBL Commish

Maybe it's like hockey and there's an emergency catcher I can use

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:14:11

hhm, Flash has a better arm. Maybe I should stoke up the running game.

x24rocks
2020-04-20 13:14:19

Carolina did have help with one this year maybe a David could help you too

chappy
2020-04-20 13:16:07

Jose threw out a higher percentage of runners

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:16:19

Ok, cancel that idea then.

chappy
2020-04-20 13:17:05

Flash just had a better scouting report because he's flashier

chappy
2020-04-20 13:18:01

Is David Ayres in the game? And how old is he in 2048

😂 x24rocks
John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:21:37

Good start for Morales

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:22:06

Hate leaving that runner at 3rd.

chappy
2020-04-20 13:22:09

Garcia out... evens it up a bit

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:22:46

Oof

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:23:08

Garcia was hitting .397 in post season

chappy
2020-04-20 13:24:10

runner on 3rd 2 out again... can we escape?

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:24:25

Nope

chappy
2020-04-20 13:25:27

What are the odds Rod Crews strikes out and makes and error in the same game.

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:25:50

I think Morales just tied the record for post season HRs

chappy
2020-04-20 13:25:55

yep

chappy
2020-04-20 13:26:53

In retrospect I might have been better off starting a good reliever instead of Guerra. Just not a good matchup for him

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:27:30

hindsight is always better

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:27:33

usually

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:27:35

sometimes

chappy
2020-04-20 13:27:39

But if we don't start putting up runs it doesn't really matter

chappy
2020-04-20 13:29:33

geez, this game is over

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:30:46

It aint ever over

chappy
2020-04-20 13:32:21

It's at least over until McDaniel leaves the game

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:36:55

Great game for him

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:37:08

Never though I could 1 hit NC

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:39:06

He was swinging for the fences

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:40:11

Wow, great game for McDaniel

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:41:44

Is Telmua fully rested?

chappy
2020-04-20 13:41:53

Nope

chappy
2020-04-20 13:42:09

Also Crews got hurt too, so I'm without my leadoff man

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:42:31

Well, you got a quick lead

chappy
2020-04-20 13:43:11

Go from a 9 to a 5 in defense at 2B

chappy
2020-04-20 13:43:29

Hopefully the other bats continue to be hot today

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:48:15

John_Washington
2020-04-20 13:50:11

New pitcher

chappy

I like the new pitcher

chappy
2020-04-20 13:52:15

With Kiristopa on short rest and my starter only lasting 3 innings yesterday, this could be a high scoring affair

chappy

Ah, out finally

x24rocks
2020-04-20 14:05:19

The more they use him the less he will be used in game number nine

John_Washington
2020-04-20 14:05:21

But this is pretty much over.

John_Washington
2020-04-20 14:05:30

x24, true

chappy
2020-04-20 14:05:43

Can he start game 9?

x24rocks
2020-04-20 14:06:05

Well he is a former starter so, North Carolina was definitely familiar with him

John_Washington
2020-04-20 14:06:07

John_Washington
2020-04-20 14:07:22

Awright, it all rests with Cruz in game nine.

Let’s hear it for
Mario Moran. Won 2047 title when he pitched a total of 18 the season innings for Idaho and won in 2048 pitching 1 game during the the season for North Carolina

:party_parrot: jeff_new_mexico, AFBL Commish
chappy
2020-04-20 17:05:52

He benefited from Jesus Ortega abruptly retiring before the playoffs. I had not even noticed Ortega was gone and wasn't sure how Mario made the roster!

lt - Idaho
2020-04-20 15:01:28

In 2039 he started 15 games for Idaho and in 2041 he was 0-4 8.34 ERA but got a ring too

lt - Idaho
2020-04-20 15:01:59

88 career appearances in the regular season and 4 rings

2020-04-20 15:03:05

Anyone ever figure out which player(s) has the most rings?

lt - Idaho
2020-04-20 15:04:05

i have a couple of guys with 4. colorado has the most team titles so maybe Matt has someone with 5?

lt - Idaho

Yeah I’m curious but I didn’t want to go through the trouble lol

lt - Idaho

or if someone had access to the database we could query it

jeff_new_mexico
2020-04-20 15:08:49

It’s part of each players record in some form but I don’t know a way to list in-game. I don’t think it’s a filter option.

2020-04-20 15:11:09

“...and the New Mexico Danger did not play any games during this period. The league is currently in the postseason.” Nice to be reminded! 😃

lt - Idaho
2020-04-20 15:12:06

i don't think it is a filter option. but you are right, it is on each player record. shouldn't be hard to figure out which field it is and do some math...

Wow was Christopher that old? Seems like I called him up not THAT long ago

yuda
2020-04-20 20:22:47

35, but he couldn't play defense well enough to play in the middle infield or hit well enough to play 1B or DH anymore

jeheinz72
2020-04-20 20:24:59

Ah yeah that was always his fate realistically

No ring for Ortega. Well, he has two but not one for this year

With Ahilocana Gopalakrishnan's HOF election imminent, I was wondering who has their number retired around the league. Goppy's #14 was retired in NC back in 2044, joining Crawdad Hicks (#1) and Norberto Leon (#23) as the only Aviators with their numbers retired.

lt - Idaho
2020-04-22 09:41:03

Idaho retired #34 Jim Fish and #26 Loren Dobson. Idaho also respects #42 as a number that cannot be worn at the big league level.

lt - Idaho
2020-04-22 09:41:43

neither Fish nor Dobson will make the HOF (although I have presented my case for Dobson) but were major players for the club in its first 20 years of existance.

Zach - KY
2020-04-22 09:43:41

I’d never really thought about that before! Jake Ladner should probably have his retired

lt - Idaho

I think the game now retires HOF inductees automatically, but it didnt before

Yeah, Goppy's was automatically done, I had done the other two. It even did a bio for him.

Leonardo Mendoza has already guaranteed his will be retired but hopefully we get several more years from him.

His career started at age 31 lol

yuda
2020-04-22 12:58:33

and honestly he could have kept going when he retired. 5/6/9 ratings, 9 stamina

yuda
2020-04-22 12:58:58

his knuckler was still an 8 and his overall stuff rating was usually 6 and never higher than 7 anyway

AFBL Commish
2020-04-22 12:59:20

plus he has 2 injury shortened seasons

yuda
2020-04-22 12:59:29

he'd lost some movement and he wasn't going to be an ace anymore but he could have been like a #3 pitcher for another 5 years I'll bet

yuda
2020-04-22 12:59:34

yeah I'm sure the injuries were what pushed him out

AFBL Commish
2020-04-22 12:59:35

for sure

yuda
2020-04-22 13:00:40

he actually had relatively major injuries 4 years in a row

yuda

2023: elbow tendinitis, later back spasms (for 5 weeks!), sprained ankle
2024: shoulder inflammation

2026: torn meniscus

AFBL Commish
2020-04-22 13:04:05

makes his career numbers even more impressive

yuda
2020-04-22 16:16:31

now I'm thinking I want to find one guy who primarily played in the 20s to retire. Haas was at his best in the teens, Salas in the 30s, Mendoza will be retired for the 40s.

While looking at the leaderboards to avoid doing my work today, I noticed that Norman Cornell's 3 postseason wins this year give hom 20 career postseason wins. He's only the third player to reach 20 postseason wins, joining Rod O'Colgan (33!) and Jon Givens (21), both hall-of-famers. Cornell is not a lock for the hall, but he's definitely been inching closer. 1 MVPitcher, 8 All-Star games, 3 Championships.

chappy
2020-04-24 11:09:26

Here's what's most interesting to me. His career ERA in the regular season (3.24) and postseason (3.33) are very close, but his win% drops considerably from 67% in the regular season to 51% in the postseason

i love spring training because when a player is underperforming you can just brush it off with the small sample size and the games not counting and also convince yourself that anyone who’s over performing is poised to break out this year

Anyone use starting pitchers with 4 endurance? I might have to resort to that.

lt - Idaho
2020-04-30 10:13:38

i don't think I have ever done that intentionally.

mstreeter06
2020-04-30 10:14:35

I've had to before but I was sure to have former starter(s) in my pen to piggy back.

yuda
2020-04-30 10:15:19

I've done it from time to time, always with a strict pitch count

mstreeter06
2020-04-30 10:15:22

Not usually a recipe for success and they normally end up in the pen themselves

yuda
2020-04-30 10:15:24

I don't like to do it though

mstreeter06
2020-04-30 10:15:32

Ya that can help too with pitch counts

yuda
2020-04-30 10:15:49

you need a deep pen because they won't always make it out of the 4th

yuda
2020-04-30 10:15:53

sometimes won't make it out of the 3rd

jeheinz72

I have in a couple leagues, works ok if the guy has solid control

👍 x24rocks

Good control he should get threw 4-5 innings

chappy
2020-04-30 10:18:50

Oh that's good, one has 10 control

chappy
2020-04-30 10:19:14

I'm doing anything I can to avoid having to give up any prospects

Zach - KY
2020-04-30 10:20:32

You can always go with a 4 man rotation!

chappy
2020-04-30 14:03:54

I think I would need a 3 man rotation

Zach - KY
2020-04-30 14:04:40

😂 you can have my 5th started Kichikawa

mstreeter06
2020-04-30 10:19:20

Control is a must if he has little stamina for me too

jeheinz72
2020-04-30 10:19:42

I've even started a guy with 3 lol

jeheinz72
2020-04-30 10:20:16

5 and dive baby

chappy
2020-04-30 10:31:55

I did use Lou Moore as a starter one year and he averaged a hair over 6 innings a start, but I think he was 5 stamina back then

chappy
2020-04-30 10:32:09

He also got hurt after 20 starts

chappy
2020-04-30 10:32:59

I can carry an extra reliever instead of a 3rd catcher with the 26 man rosters

yuda
2020-04-30 10:33:46

that's an interesting question: what does everybody use the 26th roster spot on?

yuda
2020-04-30 10:34:05

for me that slot is earmarked for "team captain (who is not good enough to make the team on other merits)"

chappy
2020-04-30 10:36:26

I want to break Colorado and Texas's record of 11 straight playoff berths.

chappy
2020-04-30 10:36:51

So I'm trying to keep making the playoffs while maintaining a deep system

x24rocks
2020-04-30 10:36:59

Honestly the 26 man depends on how my team is doing usually I start off with an extra MR but Recently it’s been a platoon guy cause of my all LH lineup

chappy
2020-04-30 10:38:22

I went back and forth between an extra reliever and third catcher last season.

chappy
2020-04-30 10:39:03

Fortunately Lou Moore my captain would make the team either way

lt - Idaho
2020-04-30 10:39:04

@yuda I try to use it on a veteran leader type as well. Some guy who will accept his role (read getting little or no playing time)

lt - Idaho
2020-04-30 10:39:14

or a pure defensive replacement type

jeheinz72
2020-04-30 10:41:06

speed and d guy usually for me

yuda
2020-04-30 10:41:46

I mean I guess I was carrying a veteran leader on the 25-man rosters as well

yuda
2020-04-30 10:41:52

so in that respect it's kind of in effect an 11th pitcher

mstreeter06
2020-04-30 10:45:52

Ya I like using the 26th man for a leader/captain and/or a specialist of some capacity

mstreeter06
2020-04-30 10:46:07

Definitely love the extra flexibility

mstreeter06
2020-04-30 10:46:36

Plus having the DH as another option helps with roster construction imo

lt - Idaho
2020-04-30 11:11:53

I hate the DH in real life but in this game it helps get extra guys playing time

jeff_new_mexico
2020-04-30 11:12:20

Have used it for team captain and all around good guy Jorge Pagan. Might be his last year in that slot though.

yuda
2020-04-30 11:40:20

Yeah I don’t like it in real life at all

yuda
2020-04-30 11:40:35

And I’m still on the fence for OOTP

yuda
2020-04-30 11:41:27

What I wish was for OOTP to have a flexible enough engine that on the rare occasion when I have a starting pitcher who can hit I could let the DH bat for my all-glove shortstop or something

Zach - KY
2020-04-30 11:49:09

That could work with seven day lineups…

yuda
2020-04-30 12:04:24

I don't think it would - I don't think it lets you sub the DH for a non-pitcher

Zach - KY
2020-04-30 12:05:23

You might be right. I wonder if this is an option in 21

yuda
2020-04-30 12:14:58

well I got down to 37 players today

yuda
2020-04-30 12:15:22

although I've got a cheat sheet of who's competing for which spots so it shouldn't be too painful over the weekend to do final cuts

Zach - KY
2020-04-30 14:09:10

Do you think players benefit from just being on the spring training roster? Or do they need playing time?

lt - Idaho
2020-04-30 14:09:57

That’s a good question - i usually keep only a few extra guys for spring cause usually i have my squad set

x24rocks
2020-04-30 14:15:58

Unless there’s coaches I don’t think so, Usually when I actually export 😳 I only call up a few guys For each position so my starters get enough playing time and they get enough rest

:party_parrot: mstreeter06
x24rocks
2020-04-30 14:16:22

Or I bring up a couple guys and basically just start them because they’re gonna be the first call ups and I want to see who performs well

Opener follower can be used two ways.

qdog915_pa
2020-05-06 05:45:31

1) Designate follower(s) in the rotation
If you have someone you absolutely want to follow every 5th day, you put him in the rotation with his player strategy set as a follower and designate a few pen guys as openers (secondary pen role). One of those openers will start the game and then the follower takes over. Perfect for a weak 5th starter scenario / borderline guys. Most will choose this route.

2) Designate opener(s) in the rotation
If you have guy(s) you absolutely want to open regularly and you don't care as much about who specifically follows, you put the openers in the rotation with player strategy set as opener and designate a few pen guys as followers (secondary pen role). This scenario is more for a strategy where you have stronger pen arms you want to emphasize over traditional starters.

The game does still attempt to honor individual pitch counts on all pitchers, but will override based on pen fatigue.

Because OOTP is gonna OOTP... our offense is not living up to expectations but we’re pitching like an early 90’s Braves team. Pulled off the rare series shutout, besting NJ 16-0 over three games, after shutting out Indiana in 2 of 3 games. That’s 5 shutouts in 6 games, with the only other game featuring us getting shutout 2-0.

The nice thing about being 60-27 is you can sit Choppy for a week even though he could still play. Not taking any chances.

This is actually his first injury of any real length

Oh shoot, it's all-star week anyway, he won't miss much. Good timing

chappy
2020-05-26 21:39:57

I think your offense could still be pretty good. Saito can carry a lot of the weight with Garren out, and if someone could light a fire under Tony Johnston's tail you'd be set.

chappy
2020-05-26 21:41:38

I think Silva in CF and Johnston is LF would work a lot better defensively. Unfortunately Garren is really good in the field too.

chappy
2020-05-26 21:45:23

I know Johnston doesn't have a rating in LF right now but with his defensive ratings he'd get a better rating there than his current CF rating within a few weeks I'd bet.

jeheinz72
2020-05-26 22:12:56

Yeah I was trying to get by with Johnston in CF but I think this injury means it’s probably time to put him in a corner

jeheinz72

I think I’ll probably do that and move Jorge from DH to RF

Interesting voting in the PL SP category. Only 6 different pitchers have received votes. 0 for Teimua Kirisitopa who is 10-2 with a 3.11 ERA, although that's probably because he's been super hot in his last 5 starts so anyone who voted a few days ago would've seen much different stats

Turd Newton posted a 9.9 WAR in 2047, 6.1 in 2048, and is 1.8 so far in 2049.

chappy
2020-06-10 10:56:48

Bobby Godwin is really wanting a shot at 1B with Newton diminishing, but Godwin is just good at the plate while Newton is a gold-glover who can steal bases.

yuda
2020-06-10 11:56:57

no room at DH?

chappy
2020-06-10 12:00:33

Nope, Steve Larsen is there, 7/8/7/6/7 and a better baserunner than Godwin.

chappy
2020-06-10 12:02:14

Godwin is 7/7/8/4/6... He's got a 3 at 1B vs Larsen's 2, so both are better in the DH role than on the field.

chappy
2020-06-10 12:05:42

I'm guessing Larsen's 7 in power is a low 7, close to a 6, as the only has 19 HR per 162 games in his career and he's a lefty in a lefty-friendly ballpark.

yuda
2020-06-10 12:10:48

there are a remarkable number of guys in this league who have no place anywhere on the field

yuda

Dan Jackson is theoretically a 1B, but he’s pretty bad there, so he DHs

yuda

I know I won't get any sympathy from you all but after having a starting lineup with everyone over .300 last year, Nick Orchard's and Turd Newton's regressions have left me with a couple of hitters in the .200's

Things ought to turn around for NC during our 3-game set vs Ontario, because all of the organization's mascots will be on hand to rally the troops. In addition to Orville and Wilbur, Sir Walter Rally from the Raleigh Explorers, Stinky the Green Sock from the Greensboro Green Sox, Bluebeard from the OBX Privateers and Grubby the Grasshopper from the Delray Beach Grasshoppers will make appearances and try their best to sign autographs and hype up the Aviators crowd, which has grown accustomed to winning and does not seem as entertained recently with the club playing .500 ball since the All-Star break.

2020-06-15 19:20:43

Do Orville and Wilbur do flyovers?

They should drop the others out to glide into the ballpark. I’d come see that.

Orville and Wilbur struggle to get their flying machine to make it from left field to right field during the 7th inning stretch.

With 13 games left, it's time for NC Aviators record watch...

Choppy Orozco is currently batting .368, which would break Flash Rodriguez's team record of .363 set last season.
Flash Rodriguez will set the team SLG% record, he's slugging at .656 while 2nd place is .614...
Flash and Choppy right now have OPS's of 1.063 and 1.019, which would be #1 and #2 in team history if the season ended today.

If Choppy can manage 17 runs scored in in the final 13 games, he'll tie his own team record of 140 runs.

  • O'Slattery has 49 home runs, 5 short of his record of 54 set last year (Mertens has 43, so he'd need a scorching last two weeks to get into play on that)

  • O'Slattery has 129 RBI. The team record is his from last year at 142. Probably out of reach.

  • Christiaan van Meel has hit 17 batters. The team record is 18 (Sam Porter in 2016 and Alfredo Cabrera in 2045). Cabrera has hit 16 this year.

jeheinz72
2020-06-18 00:31:08

Yeah I was beginning to think I was crazy, last 2 sims my changes didn’t take at all. I kept calling a player up to replace an injury and kept running with 25. First time I thought I somehow exported before I made the change, made the change and then didn’t reexport. This past sim I for sure had made the change and it didn’t take

Matt Y - Texas Spurs
2020-06-18 06:21:27

I'm also seeing the same thing over the past two sims - roster promotions from AAA to the bigs aren't sticking, even though it reports that my export is valid.

mstreeter06
2020-06-18 06:30:32

Hmm concerning. I'll message Dave (StatsPlus) to see if there's anything.

mstreeter06
2020-06-18 06:36:06

For it to be the past 2 sims and that's when the S+ Desktop App got messed up, I'm guessing/hoping it's because of that. I'm pretty confident I didn't forget to actually grab exports like previously this season. Apologies guys I'll get this figured out.

yuda

You definitely pulled in exports the last two sims (unless the statsplus app can check them but not do it?)

jeff_new_mexico
2020-06-18 07:34:26

Oops forgot rookie Bob McCrary who is now second to Blais for the FL batting title.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-06-18 07:46:57

Dominic Bennett is hitting .376 but must not have enough PA to qualify. He’s right behind McCrary in AB so he must be close.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-06-18 08:17:22

McCrary has 521 PA and Bennett only 480. I think you need 502 in season to qualify so Bennett needs 22 in seven games to sneak in (assuming he keeps hitting). Could happen.

x24rocks
2020-06-18 08:18:00

Or hope for game 163

jeff_new_mexico
2020-06-18 08:18:52

That too!

jeff_new_mexico
2020-06-18 08:28:02

3.1 PA/game times 155 is 480.5. So Bennett at 480 is so close right now. He’s got a 14-game hitting streak and has had two hits in each of his last five.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-06-18 08:39:01

NM pitching is not helping 21-year-old McCrary’s chances. Gave up 6 hits to 37-year-old Blais in last two games. Arrrgh.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-06-18 08:44:53

GA ongoing injuries... #3 starter Guillou went down with 2 weeks to go, but only out for 2 weeks. Then this sim, his recovery is reset to undetermined. But this may mean he's locked down the ERA title. Getting my 1B, C and CF back this week right in time for the playoffs. With no time to ease them back in. So naturally my DH/RF goes down with blurry vision for a week. I think you mean the GM has blurry vision from pounding his head on the keyboard. Have a new 3B to break-in in a week. Thanks to the last injury and sim hiccup he hasn't played yet. But hey, first place, can't complain! Just craziness.

Honestly we should all just look at @lt - Idaho any way Because I was randomly looking at export history and in all the available history between both leagues he had only missed four exports

2020-06-23 13:16:04

well, need a comeback now

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:17:16

Vega looks tough.

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 13:18:32

He’s been good all year. Not the most talented ratings-wise but a wiley veteran

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:20:22

Xariot leads off 🙂

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:20:27

Xarito

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:20:58

and singles 🙂

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 13:21:30

A balk!

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 13:21:37

Don’t see that too often

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:22:04

My stars aren't starring 😕

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:23:35

Johnny Riley!

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:23:44

I hate him 🙂

x24rocks
2020-06-23 13:24:23

So do I I’m actually surprised at how well he’s doing for Kentucky

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:24:40

Yeah, he is.

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 13:25:25

He’s a toolbag but he’s settled into his stopper role nicely fingers crossed

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:25:40

Well, he stopping us 😕

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 13:25:52

Xarito on again

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:26:00

Soon as I said something

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:26:16

But the stars are doing nothing.

x24rocks
2020-06-23 13:26:47

Honestly I really only traded him because my team needed A personality boost

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 13:27:10

We’ve got jerks everywhere haha

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 13:27:20

But winning solves a lot of problems!

x24rocks
2020-06-23 13:27:47

That is true

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 13:28:20

Solo bomb from Wynn brings it a little closer

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:28:28

well that was fast

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:28:35

Blah

John_Washington
2020-06-23 13:28:40

Later 🙂

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 13:29:00

A lot of oh-fers in both lineups today

x24rocks
2020-06-23 13:30:47

The rest of the way should be pretty fun

jeheinz72
2020-06-23 13:41:39

ouch that game 3 stung, that was a HUGE game series-wise

jeheinz72
2020-06-23 14:04:47

if I don't have any injuries I'm good to go

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 14:53:10

I’ve exported - all set to go.

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 14:53:56

Hopefully we survive the movement rating of 3 from Kichikawa, tonight’s starter!

John_Washington
2020-06-23 15:44:33

Good to go.

mstreeter06
2020-06-23 17:03:05

Sounds like we’ll be able to continue the LCS tonight. I’ll sim around our normal sim time ~830pm CDT. Good luck guys!

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 17:53:54

Awesome!

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 20:49:24

Ontario is rolling!

x24rocks
2020-06-23 20:50:21

Yeah we’re doing pretty good tho Still time for Virginia to come back and they’re not a bad team

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 21:04:14

Kichikawa holding strong for now

x24rocks
2020-06-23 21:10:14

Washington is threatening

x24rocks
2020-06-23 21:10:46

wow homer

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 21:10:53

Jose Garcia has gotten us twice this series

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 21:11:26

Wheeler has really struggled out of the bullpen after a solid regular season campaign

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 21:12:54

Bullpen blew this one big time

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 21:13:03

Johnny Riley was gassed

x24rocks
2020-06-23 21:14:40

Yeah been dominant in the series I see why you’re using in the stopper role

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 21:18:03

Ever since reading Baseball By The Numbers I’m sold on the fireman / stopper

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 21:18:28

Wish more MLB clubs would use it

x24rocks
2020-06-23 21:21:33

I have used it a couple times in my solo universe tho I believe I’m a little bit more modern in my bullpen

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 21:22:19

Another HBP from KY lol

x24rocks
2020-06-23 21:22:37

I honestly blame OOTP 5 for that lol I was young and impressionable And their game was an advanced enough

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 21:23:04

They are getting there!

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 21:23:31

OOTP9 was my first!

x24rocks
2020-06-23 21:26:18

Good version

x24rocks
2020-06-23 21:28:53

My first Long term real universe outside of 6.5 was in 9 I was super disappointed when I lost it

lt - Idaho
2020-06-23 21:44:59

I’m old school. I don’t like the opener follower shit. I get the stopper concept but wonder if it just overuses arms

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 21:52:56

Yeah idk about openers, but stoppers work with those 2 pitch guys who have good stamina

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 21:53:40

Offense gotta kick it in gear here

lt - Idaho
2020-06-23 21:56:36

I’ll have to try the stopper thing

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 22:00:17

You figure if a guy has 8-10 stamina he can go 150+ innings each season, but it’s a little unrealistic to expect them to go almost every game, so 3ish innings every 2-3 games is manageable.

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 22:01:09

13 Ks for Mota in ON

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 22:01:17

Up late again

Zach - KY
2020-06-23 22:04:28

Girard has been cold all series! Huge dinger!

Zach - KY

AFBL Commish

I'll run the FL LCS Game 7 whenever @Zach - KY is good to go. Good luck to him and @John_Washington as they battle for the Frontier League title.

Congrats to @jeheinz72 on an awesome season and the soon to be California Bulldogs 😎 will be back. Congrats to @x24rocks on winning the Patriot League. Blue Pirates are tough!

Still waiting on a Playoffs module/section in StatsPlus so this is one area that StatsLab beats it https://www.matthewrstreeter.com/ootp/afbl/statslab/playoffs.php

Zach - KY
2020-06-24 08:10:14

I’m all set! Let’s do this thing!

x24rocks
2020-06-24 08:23:40

Ohh Let’s do this, I get home field if Washington wins I am on the road if Kentucky wins

mstreeter06
2020-06-24 08:30:15

I should have a chance to run KY-WA Game 7 after the NPBL sim upload stuff finishes. Good luck to @Zach - KY and @John_Washington

AFBL Commish
2020-06-24 09:18:13

WA jumps out early getting on the board

x24rocks
2020-06-24 09:20:07

Tied up quickly this looks like it will be fun

John_Washington
2020-06-24 09:34:36

John_Washington

Ok, moving on.

Great series, Zach

Amazing series between you guys

John_Washington

Will export as soon as I get a file.

x24rocks
2020-06-24 09:42:39

I have exported before game 7, just refresh my 7 day line ups and I’m good to go

John_Washington
2020-06-24 09:44:24

Got two great SP performances from Chet Ward and Dan Bruce. Talk about unsung heroes.

Zach - KY
2020-06-24 09:48:42

MAN! I was teaching an online class and missed the live sim. 😭

Zach - KY

Haha great series! Good luck!

glad to see Washington move on, it lets me make the case that Oregon was the second best team in the FL this year. ;)

qdog915_pa
2020-06-24 10:20:07

So I was curious how NC got the top two hitters in the league, but when I go to their HTML pages it doesn't show how they were acquired. That's a bug or something, right?

lt - Idaho
2020-06-24 10:23:42

I think both were scouting discoveries, but that def sounds like a bug to me...

John_Washington
2020-06-24 10:33:32

Yeah, file shows them both as scouting discoveries. Good scout!

John_Washington
2020-06-24 10:36:30

HTML and game don't show history for players prior to sometime in 2047.

x24rocks
2020-06-24 10:39:36

Which sucks

John_Washington
2020-06-24 11:48:07

Indeed

John_Washington
2020-06-24 12:20:09

A few changes await Ontario.
Will Ward or Bruce or someone else be the fourth man in rotation?
And a surprise roster change in the infield.

John_Washington
2020-06-24 12:21:17

Really really missing last years POY Jesus Cruz!

x24rocks
2020-06-24 12:27:24

I hope Al Gahary Will decide to show up for the finals he could be the Ex factor

chappy
2020-06-24 13:12:57

Correct on Flash and Choppy being scouting discoveries

yuda
2020-06-24 14:06:52

yeah we discovered the missing histories a couple of seasons back but never figured out a solution

mstreeter06
2020-06-24 17:06:07

Ya not sure what happened with that honestly 😕

mstreeter06
2020-06-24 17:06:50

I’ll need to investigate when I have some time. I have a backup of each season in Almanacs.

chappy
2020-06-24 17:08:11

I think it’s right at the transition to OOTP XX

mstreeter06
2020-06-24 17:08:23

Seems like a likely culprit

chappy
2020-06-24 17:08:40

I have the final 19 file so if we can find a txt file combiner it would be an easy fix

mstreeter06
2020-06-24 17:08:42

Wondering if a checkbox or something got lost for a setting on my end maybe?

chappy

Good luck back at ya. Winning would be tough with my ace starter on DL. But we got this far, so . . .

John_Washington
2020-06-25 09:33:45

stealing third? dumb.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 09:34:59

eventful 1st inning but no runs

x24rocks
2020-06-25 09:36:50

Better 2nd inning for you

x24rocks
2020-06-25 09:40:13

Mike Daniels has been horrible as well after a Pretty good season

John_Washington
2020-06-25 09:47:01

My bottom of the order generally sucks

John_Washington
2020-06-25 09:47:52

except when they hit home runs

The Washington offence got hot verse Kentucky and stayed hot

lt - Idaho

still early in this game

John_Washington
2020-06-25 09:51:08

Indeed

2020-06-25 09:53:26

Santiago has a 115 pitch count limit

x24rocks

As somebody from Toronto losing the first game doesn’t really bother me so much 😁

x24rocks
2020-06-25 09:54:16

But There are still plenty of time left

lt - Idaho
2020-06-25 09:55:59

gotta find your way out of this inning

John_Washington
2020-06-25 09:56:19

Garza speed saved the double play

x24rocks
2020-06-25 09:56:34

I’m surprised Mota still pitching lol

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:00:39

Well thank you very much because foghorn usually gives up a lot of runs

John_Washington

2020-06-25 10:08:50

reugebrink looks like mariano rivera

x24rocks

John_Washington

bottom of the order

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:13:08

sigh. no set-up man in

I very much feel you there, But he did OK

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:15:13

villareal was unreal

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:16:20

third attempted steal of third

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:16:45

Smart manager would’ve put a different pitcher in Before the bases were loaded

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:16:57

AI is not smart

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:18:48

15 hits, wow

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:19:49

Good first game for you

no comment

😂 x24rocks
x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:21:50

NOW it's a good first game 😕

AFBL Commish
2020-06-25 10:23:07

Got pulled away.. WA got some offense that game.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:23:44

Villareal is a walking injury but he sure was good today.

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:24:37

Saved the rest of your pen and shut us down, You can’t ask for much more

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:24:48

Now let’s hope today my team shows up

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:25:03

Ramos has been awful in postseason so far

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:26:02

Now you're stealing third

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:27:20

It’s the theme

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:27:22

Lol

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:28:25

Bautista is starting at 1B - his first ever playoff series

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:28:38

Did nothing in first game

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:29:38

I actually thought you were going to bring up a short stop lol

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:30:05

Don't have one who can play defense, so Xarito stays put

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:32:24

there goes your no-hitter

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:33:49

Bases-loaded with one of your best homerun hitters up I was scared

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:36:41

almost got out of it

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:38:50

Ok good start

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:40:44

two huge DPs

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:42:11

Yeah for real, Keeping the game close

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:45:56

Ramos has done all that I could ask. Can't win with no offense.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:49:50

Pull Ramos please 🙂

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:50:41

OK, he's out

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:50:47

Ward in 🙂

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:52:32

Hey look at that, and he keeps the game close

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:53:21

But man Duri has sucked hard That’s the reason he’s batting eight now

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:54:22

Bautista first ever big league hit

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:55:44

Damm but They brought in my set up guy and he shut the rally down Let’s get that run back

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:57:03

Chet shut you down

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:57:37

Ahh dam Chet I was hoping for that classic ward pitching you showed when you pitched here

John_Washington
2020-06-25 10:58:18

Big walk.

x24rocks
2020-06-25 10:58:49

LOW to the nine hitter 🤦‍♂️

x24rocks
2020-06-25 11:01:51

Or even your closer

x24rocks
2020-06-25 11:02:00

Stupid double play

John_Washington
2020-06-25 11:02:01

DPs have kept me in this game.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 11:02:31

OK, last chance. Low expectations.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 11:03:19

Once more Pepe?

John_Washington
2020-06-25 11:03:26

Nope

Ramos and Ward were fantastic. Offense not so much.

x24rocks
2020-06-25 11:09:22

I didn’t realize I threw in a runner at the plate in the top of 3rd

x24rocks
2020-06-25 11:10:38

John_Washington

John_Washington
2020-06-25 11:28:34

Juan Gonzalez gets start. Two starts back Chet Ward got start in this rotaion spot. LAst start for this spot was rookie Dan Bruce. Both pitched well. But now it Gonzalez' turn.

John_Washington

DP?

x24rocks
2020-06-25 12:56:16

Probably

John_Washington
2020-06-25 12:56:23

Must have been

John_Washington
2020-06-25 12:56:36

Commish, can we get a file?

John_Washington
2020-06-25 12:57:30

Magana's a magician to get out of first and third no one out

x24rocks
2020-06-25 12:58:38

Yeah for real Daniels does ground into a lot of double plays No speed

John_Washington
2020-06-25 12:58:56

Struck out Brin first

x24rocks
2020-06-25 13:00:25

2 really intense games 2-2 series

John_Washington
2020-06-25 13:00:35

I've got to pick up my wife. I'd like a file if possible.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 13:00:41

bbiab

AFBL Commish
2020-06-25 13:05:03

Sure thing!

x24rocks
2020-06-25 13:47:10

You can refresh my seven day lineup so I’m good to go

John_Washington
2020-06-25 13:59:53

Exported, good to go.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:02:45

A few shake ups, but can't do anything about bottom of order Garza-Campos-Xarito without compromising the defense. Need the stars to get hot.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:08:23

In that last game Garcia sacrificing Murdock to second won the game when Wynn singled Murdock home. Then it just took Magana getting out of the last of the ninth with runners on first and third with NO ONE out - he struck out Brin and got Daniels to hit into a game-ending double play (walk off DP?). Exemplifies the importance of keeping Xarito at SS despite his pathetic hitting all year.

x24rocks
2020-06-25 14:10:03

Oh yeah defence wins games 100% Double plays a big for you in the series, I’ve never been a Sacrifice guy But yeah That really is what helped you win

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:11:12

Also, in the bottom of the ninth Coker led off with a double. Good that he's not a good base runner because he couldn't score on Beck's line drive single to left center. LF Campos has a "10" arm, so he didn't dare try. And he ended up stranded on third.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:12:52

Really an amazing last of eighth and top of ninth innings

x24rocks
2020-06-25 14:13:06

I’m honestly surprised farmer didn’t PR I have it set to high for ninth-inning +1/-1

x24rocks
2020-06-25 14:13:31

Though even then He might not of ran

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:13:43

Yeah, that might have made the difference and we'd still be playing.

x24rocks
2020-06-25 14:15:42

I love how this series has had big scoring game then tight game Keeps us both on our toes

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:17:26

I'm tempted to start Villareal in that fourth rotation spot with a pitch count of like 70. Did I? Maybe, maybe not.

x24rocks
2020-06-25 14:18:31

Please don’t I can’t seem to get a hit off him lol And who would anchor your bullpen 😛

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:18:36

He was a starter for years.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:18:45

Then Ward would anchor the pen 🙂

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:19:19

But Villareal only has two pitches.

x24rocks
2020-06-25 14:19:23

The irony if that happens

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:19:30

Might be enough for five innings

x24rocks
2020-06-25 14:20:21

It’s not like you have much else

x24rocks
2020-06-25 14:20:39

Though you Have made it work

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:21:31

Injuries to Cruz and McDaniel late in year make it tough although McDaniel wasn't himself this year.

x24rocks
2020-06-25 14:22:31

Did you expect to make it back here

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:22:36

Anyway, I've exported and await game five in chilly Toronto.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:23:11

Beating KY in six was a surprise for sure.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:23:48

Oops, in 7.

John_Washington
2020-06-25 14:24:10

x24rocks

That’s a way better start this time around at home

John_Washington
2020-06-25 17:11:30

Campos and Xarito start the inning 😕

John_Washington
2020-06-25 17:11:56

They only have gloves, no bats.

x24rocks
2020-06-25 17:12:50

John_Washington

So I can win it in Toronto?

x24rocks
2020-06-26 11:11:05

It’s always better to win on the road, And rub it in the Home crowds faces

John_Washington
2020-06-26 11:11:34

I'd rather just win for the home fans here.

x24rocks
2020-06-26 11:13:28

As a fan who was at a potential finals clinching game in 2019 it is much better but since I’m playing against you Nahh It’s Overrated 😝

2020-06-26 11:17:29

Uh huh.

John_Washington

MI (81-82) vs NC in the NPBL playoffs.

John_Washington
2020-06-26 11:20:28

I horribly mismanaged MI for most of the year. I'm shocked they recovered enough to make the WC.

John_Washington
2020-06-26 11:22:07

What's your team in that league?

x24rocks
2020-06-26 11:22:19

Nova Scotia

x24rocks
2020-06-26 11:23:12

I love how you can make the playoffs with an 81-82 to record

John_Washington

I'd love to face you there 🙂

John_Washington
2020-06-26 11:24:39

Not likely we can beat NC though.

x24rocks

We finished strong.

x24rocks

John_Washington
2020-06-26 11:29:27

I tried to trade Andrews, Norton, and someone else, but the offers were underwhelming. MI has no minor league system.

x24rocks
2020-06-26 11:32:40

Oh man but hey Maybe If they do well in the playoffs someone will want to take them off your hands, I like trading in this league more for some reason

jeff_new_mexico
2020-06-27 13:45:10

Have no idea what the East will be like. Colorado keeps getting older but they keep finding ways to stay in it. Age is going to have to kick in at some point.

Minnesota, Illinois and Texas seem due to rise up before long. Kentucky moving might speed that up. Hoping NM can win the division in 2050 before all hell breaks loose.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-06-30 14:45:46

Any idea why some players don’t have facegen photos? Playing around with uniform ideas led me to creating team pictures and some of the players are missing. They have faces when you rollover a name in the Lineup view etc., but not in the space at the upper left of the player page. Some just have logos there which then show up in the team picture.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-06-30 14:48:22

Its kind of fun to try and conjure up personalities from the team picture. When they are all together it’s much more interesting than seeing one at at time.

mike_new_jersey
2020-06-30 17:59:51

@jeffnewmexico clear/delete the files in AFBL.lg\news\html\images\profile_pictures while AFBL is closed, then the profile pictures should regenerate next time you visit each player page

🍻 mstreeter06
jeff_new_mexico
2020-06-30 19:06:26

Hmmm that worked in that it does generate new pictures for the guys that had pictures, but the same guys are still missing when I go to their pages. It doesn’t regenerate for them.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-06-30 19:13:12

And it generates the same picture, I think, for players that had pictures. So there must be info to create it associated with the player somewhere else. But that info must be missing from the player data of players that don’t get pictures? 🤷‍♂️

yuda
2020-06-30 19:16:24

jeff_new_mexico

Dave White won't sniff the Hall of Fame but he was a mainstay on the Oregon roster since the mid-late 30s.

Closer Anibal Gonzalez retired. 456 career saves

lt - Idaho
2020-07-01 12:50:13

he likely falls short of the HOF as closers generally do. 2 time reliever of the year, 7 time all star, 4 time champ.

his ERA was 0 at the all star break. 38-39 in saves.

from 7/29/2045 - 9/11/2046 he converted 51 straight

x24rocks

Because Roberto Mallet And Bob Jones are in the HOF We have a high end for relievers but they are a good measuring stick if you don’t usually vote for relievers

personally I think he needed 1 more good season to have a shot. Of course I will vote for him 🙂

Tony Jackson (former Texas reliever) is a reliever that might should have made it in. 2.20 career ERA, 414 saves, 0.98 WHIP (4th best all time).

I have a few guys getting reps at first base but mostly not playing people out of position

(this year. in years past I’ve used spring for this heavily)

x24rocks
2020-07-09 12:21:55

I do this a lot in the Minors So that all my outfielders know all three positions if possible, Though I have slacked a little bit in my online leagues

x24rocks
2020-07-09 12:22:09

So by the time that people get to the majors they at least know two positions

yuda
2020-07-09 12:22:31

yeah I try to cross-train as much as I can in the minors

yuda
2020-07-09 12:23:45

it gets tricky though b/c top priority is getting at bats for the best prospects

x24rocks
2020-07-09 12:25:32

Yeah that’s true, Which is why I like guys And later rounds to come out with multiple positions already lo

jeff_new_mexico
2020-07-09 12:55:16

I try to get at bats for prime prospects at the position they will probably be starting at. Primes can usually learn new positions quickly if needed.

And players that might end up on ML bench I cross-train as much as possible by using them as backups at multiple positions. And/or starting at multiple positions if there are no potential starters in front of them. Pretty lax about this though. Need to put some time into it.

yuda
2020-07-09 13:02:38

yeah I usually just pick a new position for those guys every year and train them up

yuda
2020-07-09 13:02:52

I could do more with the backing up at 3 spots every 4th game or something but that's a lot of work 😉

x24rocks
2020-07-09 13:29:53

Yeah i usually give them 2 months Work at a position so they can Learn anything new, Unless I don’t have anyone else fighting for playing time at that position

mstreeter06
2020-07-09 13:29:59

I really should use ST more like this myself to help guys learn new positions for more roster flexibility

Quite a few tough decisions this spring. Have a feeling Oklahoma City (once upon a time Las Vegas) is going to be pretty good though.

chappy
2020-07-10 09:14:03

I have a good 22 year old pitcher but my next best 3 are all AA or lower. With all of my veteran SPs fading fast, I'm in a pickle. With my offense, I might be able to outscore people, but we are not built for postseason play. I don't really want to sacrifice the future to bridge the gap between my current pitchers and my future pitchers, but I may have to. It will be an interesting season, and I learned nothing from the spring.

jeheinz72
2020-07-10 09:28:08

4-4 start. We are hitting the crap out of the ball but it all apparently landed in the hands of our pitchers because that’s what they threw.

I'm annoyed at myself for doing that again. I need to not run the / exports until I actually take the exports. Sorry again all!

mike_new_jersey
2020-07-23 06:44:03

@AFBL Commish can you run the exports command an hour bwdore sim time as a reminder? Running it after u take exports doesnt give time for anyone whi missed exporting to get one in, so seems pointless then

AFBL Commish
2020-07-23 07:30:53

I'm using it like I was before that was available as a notion of who missed that sim's export. I just have to actually grab the exports first before running the / export command which I will make sure happens going forward as I'm not happy with myself for doing this again. I don't have any desire to use it as a reminder honestly.. just becomes noise imo. Typically takes me 5-10 minutes to go through FA claims and such after running if you need to quickly get an export in.

mike_new_jersey
2020-07-23 07:41:49

if you're not using it as re minder, then don't tag the GMs, I assumed by tagging us you meant it as a reminder, otherwise what's the point

Yes my process is if they are hurt longer than 1-2 weeks (non day-to-day) then I'll move to IL and promote someone from AAA in the same position if possible also trying to avoid having a rookie get promoted if they haven't been on a AFBL roster yet.

record watch... Luis Antonio Perez is maintaining his 60 HR pace, he's now reached 33 dingers in 87 games this season, equal with the number he hit last season in 161 games, while the chances of him reaching 60 are pretty slim, he's hopeful of passing 50, which would be only the 16th time in AFBL history the half century had been reached (by only 8 players)

⚾ AFBL Commish

2020-08-08 03:57:00

i also should've mentioned that both pat hatfield and bob holmes passed jake white's mark of 362 HRs for the Athletics, only 4 separates holmes from hatfield as the race to try and be the first player in franchise history to reach 400 is in reach, but maybe not manageable as they both enter the twilight of their careers

jeff_new_mexico
2020-08-10 08:45:43

5-3. Hanging on to a one game lead in the East. Tony Ortiz goes down for a month so Shigekazu Yamasaki gets called up to start in LF. Wildcard in FL has tightened up, maybe a spot will come from the East. 🤞Seems like its been a while.

mike_new_jersey
2020-08-12 09:22:09

back on Luis Antonio Perez, the 25 year old is 2 HRs away from reaching 100 in his career, if he does this next sim he'll achieve his first 100 in less than 420 games - i.e. 4.2 games fro every dinger, to put this in to context, Mike Garza, he of the record 666 HRs in the AFBL hit a dinger every 4.1 games across his career and his first 111 at a rate of 1 every 5 games...

well Jorge Reyes came back from his rehab assignment and struck out 10 against 2 walks and 1 hit in 6.1 shutout innings, so maybe he was just sulking.

5-1, back on winning ways; Santiago out for two weeks but should be back for playoffs.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-08-20 12:35:40

5-1 to go twelve games up in the East. Albuquerque (AA) did not make the playoffs, stopping our two-year streak of having every team make the playoffs. Other three minor league teams made it so NM would make it four out of five this year if we don't fall completely apart.

Three-way tie for first in AA West with one game to go.

Chet Ward, back in rotation with Santiago out, pitched seven innings of no-hit ball (but gave up one run) in win over NM. He is now 7-2, 2.15.

John_Washington
2020-08-24 09:41:00

4-2, the two losses to Washington. Managed to beat them once. Preview of likely first round matchup against California next sim.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-08-24 10:13:33

Nice to see some power this year. Cordero, Martinez and Rodriguez tied for team lead with 34 home runs each. Another 31 coming from third base platoon (Rivera and Raith) and 39 coming from DH platoon (Lopez and Santana). Some of those from Santana coming at 1B though.

jeheinz72
2020-08-24 10:17:32

Yeah should be a good battle in that 1st round, I think our two teams will have the closest RD of any of the 4 matchups. Of course I lost Garren again, so 2 starting OF on the DL for it

5-1 to clinch the East. Lost batting average leader Dominic Bennett for the year. Looks like Sean Butler will be putting his newly acquired 1B skills to use for a few games. Spent the year at AAA getting up to a 6 at 1B.

to be completely fair, Oregon is constructed to be the perfect counter to Washington. (OK, maybe not “perfect”). Our rotation is all LHP against your lefty-heavy lineup, and our lineup is largely lefties against your righty-heavy rotation.

NM exported.

Down 2-1. Tough series as expected. Three straight singles by CA with two out in the 6th to score the go-ahead and eventual winning run in game three was frustrating. Elvis was in the building that game.

Tied 2-2 after a nice home run outburst. Fell behind early for fourth straight game. Player of the Game Don O'Scanlon hit by a pitch and had to leave. Hope its not serious.

yuda
2020-08-29 11:59:32

:handwithindexandmiddlefingerscrossed: that at least one series goes 7 to give Mendoza an extra two days to heal. Would be nice to get him back for game 3 of the LCS rather than having to make a decision about carrying him to use in games 5-6-7.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-08-29 12:20:04

Fell behind early again, came back with home runs again. After two strikeouts to start the top of the ninth it got exciting, but we managed to hang on.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-08-29 12:21:31

Hoping we don't go seven but I have a feeling we will. @yuda

yuda
2020-08-29 12:21:57

Honestly I’d rather it be one of the PL series because I think I match up better with the Danger than with California.

yuda
2020-08-29 12:22:17

although I’d rather be closer to full strength against California than short-handed longer against NM, if it came to it.

yuda
2020-08-29 12:22:47

I’m shocked we swept the Resonance. I thought we had a chance in the series just because of the lefty/righty stuff but I thought I might be able to steal it in 6 or 7, not win going away.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-08-29 12:30:08

jeff_new_mexico
2020-08-31 15:27:48

Rookie Antonio Mata pitched a great first game, Odwin Reijssen, a former NM starter, beat us handily in game two and Mike Woodard did a nice job in game three to put us up 2-1. Dominic Bennett came back from injury this sim and we should get Don O’Scanlon back next sim.

it sure was! good luck the rest of the way

yuda

we were overachieving to begin with and then lost Mendoza in like the third inning of game 1

yuda
2020-09-01 19:08:20

I can’t decide if this team needs a rebuild. Pitching is aging, Baker fell off a cliff at third base this year, Roldan declining at second. But also young rising players in the outfield.

yuda
2020-09-01 19:08:26

most likely I’ll do my best to retool

jeff_new_mexico
2020-09-01 19:10:04

We had a bit of a retool last couple of years. Seems to be coming together. Just wish I had fewer fragile guys.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-09-01 19:15:46

I think I had five rookies this year maybe six but I don’t think Mike Woodard qualifies. Santana, Mata, Raith, Yamasaki and Tanaka.

yuda
2020-09-01 19:19:49

my big problem is I have not drafted well pitcher-wise so I don’t have much in the pipeline. At least not for the rotation.

yuda
2020-09-01 19:20:50

I guess Dave Winter has turned out ok, and he was a first-round pick, but he’s not ace material https://afblbaseball.com/reports/news/html/players/player_8454.html

jeff_new_mexico
2020-09-01 19:27:12

I was fortunate with free agent signings. Two of my starters, Mata and Woodard were fa signings.

yuda
2020-09-01 20:34:43

FYI I threw an export in mostly to make a couple of DL changes and hopefully ward off any surprise offseason retirements.

Zach - KY
2020-09-01 22:20:38

Surprised by the nice playoff run we’ve made even though we’re pretty old across the board.

Or maybe that’s the key?

1897 games, 2179 hits, 382 HR .298 avg and 73.2 WAR, 5 platinum sticks, 6 all star apperances, 3 gold gloves, 1 championship ring and mvp of 4 different playyoff series, including the 2042 federation cup seires that we won... will be interesting if he makes the HoF or not

Gotta say it - and maybe I'm the big meanie in the group - but not pulling exports is becoming a tad too routine imo. Sure, sometimes it doesn't matter. But I had my starting SS nursing a D2D injury who I had 7-day'd outta the starting lineup for the 4 games. He ended up playing full bore in all of them. Luckily the injury didn't get worse, but that's a big risk that I really really didn't want to take

The new S+ slash command is what trips me up if I'm in a hurry. In the past, I'd manually type out who didn't export but now its automated, I just have to wait to run that until after I actually do so. Today I did what I did previously and typed the command, kids needed me for a moment, and forgot to click the grab exports button. Annoyed I did it again.

jeheinz72
2020-10-14 10:58:15

Huerta was hardly robbed in 1948. Jesus Cruz, traded early that year from NJ to WA, was 19-4 overall with a 2.78 ERA. He is a six time Pitcher of the Year. Huerta looks good for it this year though.

John_Washington
2020-10-27 17:28:49

That trade sent three players and a 1st and 2nd round pick to NJ. Tai fat Seng tanked. Luis Lopes sorta tanked although he's in AAA now at age 21. Don Craig is 14-27 in two years with NJ. The first round pick turned into Tony Wheeler, currently 3-star potential at age 19 in rookie ball. Lost track of the other pick.

John_Washington
2020-10-27 17:35:11

Ben Johnson hit 573 HRs for WA from 2022 through 2041. From 2028 through 3031 he hit 46, 41, 47 and 49. He also had 40+ in 2033 and 2039 (49). So he topped 40 six times. Lifetime BA was .250 though.

John_Washington
2020-10-27 17:36:37

Ratzlaff had 40+ EIGHT times starting at age 19. Ended up with 609 (and 1690 RBIs). Johnson had 1666 RBIs with his 573 homers.

John_Washington
2020-10-27 17:37:43

The only other guy to hit 40 for Washington was current catcher Kieran Wynn with 40 in 250 (in just 128 games!)

Washington's Jose Garcia is on track to hit 48 this year at current pace.

2020-10-27 17:42:56

Mike Garza (CA) hit 40+ HRs seven times including three years in a row - 2024-2026. He had 666 lifetime with 1,894 RBIs and .324 BA. He is the career WAR leader too (118.0)

In a shocking move, WA has promoted rookie league outfielder Wilson Saucedo to the big leagues where he will start in right field to replace the injured Ismael Garza who is out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Saucedo brings the desired defensive skills to the lineup. Can he hit anywhere near his .357 average with Ocala? Time will tell. Wilson also has 33 home runs with Ocala, second in the Liberty League. (No, he is not related to Washington's star third baseman, Antonio Saucedo. Antonio, born in NYC, is an American through and through. Wilson is a proud Costa Rican.)

6 time Pitcher of the Year Jesus Cruz gets the start for WA vs. OR. in game four Cruz gets the late start in the wild card round because he had to pitch game 163 to nail down the AL West title. He didn't get the win in that game because WA had to score three in the last of the ninth to pull out the 4-3 win. But he kept WA in the game through his six IPs. Ronnie Carriere (of all people) got the walk off single to score Tom Fortunata from third with the winning run. Granted, Cruz at age 33 is not the pitcher he once was, but he still has a WAR in the 5's.

2020-11-17 20:16:36

I also had a ton of young up and coming relievers

x24rocks
2020-11-17 20:17:17

I think that was the first year I was making trades since 2025 in game so for me I was like If I’m going to do this I want everything and I had the guy who won the reliever of the year on my team the year before But Daniels is better and Bradshaw was one of the best pitchers pre him losing movement and stamina And Jeff Beck was just throw in Who made what 2 All-Star teams with me Very solid player

Richard Hager
2020-11-17 20:22:20

yea i think all around solid haul

x24rocks
2020-11-17 20:23:07

I went to the championship game so for me it was worth it

Now I want to get back there And win it

Weird, my really good reliever - Mike Rice - isn't on the Reliever of the Year ballot.

AFBL Commish
2020-11-18 07:23:59

So did some checking.. Reliever of the Year is currently set to these qualifications:

  • % RP Appearances - 0.75

  • Save + Hold Minimum - 10


Looks like Rice had 4 Saves and 3 Holds so that would be why he isn't on the ballot currently.

I wish there were more options for qualifications that that.

Do we think we need to lower that Save+Hold number lower to avoid missing guys like Mike Rice who have great seasons but not with Saves/Holds?

yuda
2020-11-18 07:28:48

are saves and holds the only qualifications available?

yuda
2020-11-18 07:29:08

like I’d love to do it on RP appearances + RP % + WPA or something

yuda
2020-11-18 07:29:24

but going much below 10 on Sv + H will just give us an enormous ballot

x24rocks
2020-11-18 07:29:26

Whip should be a qualification as well

x24rocks
2020-11-18 07:29:44

As well as leverage

AFBL Commish
2020-11-18 07:30:31

Yeah sadly yes those are the only 2 qualifications: 75% appearances as a RP, and the 10 total Saves+Holds. Suggesting to Dave with StatsPlus to add more qualifications.

x24rocks
2020-11-18 07:36:51

Good Luck everyone and just a little but less to you @Richard Hager 😁

jeheinz72
2020-11-18 07:47:50

Wow that’s nuts. Dude pitched 90 innings of awesome relief. He likely wouldn’t win but he would probably get second. He was second in WAR WHIP FIP and something else for RP

💯 AFBL Commish
x24rocks
2020-11-18 07:53:41

With his war and WHIP if he leverages is high I might have voted him first

van meel left in an inning (or at least a batter) too long

yuda
2020-11-18 09:35:35

he was cruising but even if you let him come out for the 8th you gotta pull him after the 8-pitch walk

yuda

I am displeased with my manager.

x24rocks
2020-11-18 18:48:20

Was a great series I was so scared Because New York put only left-handed starters And 3 of my 4 best hitters are worse VS LHP
My best hitter Kringos only played once & struck out three times But somehow my team pulled through, Keeping Keisuke on the roster was the right call.

@Richard Hager You have a good team man you will be tough to beat for many years

he was on slightly short rest but I'd have thought he had 80 or 90 pitches in him ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ya must be. Looks like they brought in Crosby to face the RHB Broadberry.

Game 2 starting now. Good luck!

x24rocks
2020-11-19 08:45:31

just off the DL woo

yuda
2020-11-19 08:56:14

we were very lucky to only give up 1 run in the 3rd there

yuda
2020-11-19 08:56:18

4th rather

yuda
2020-11-19 08:57:01

now would be a good time to pull Reyes, Mr. I Just Discovered What a Quick Hook Is in Game One

😂 mstreeter06, x24rocks
yuda
2020-11-19 08:57:36

it worked!

x24rocks
2020-11-19 09:00:37

It did

x24rocks
2020-11-19 09:00:51

But then he walks 2

yuda
2020-11-19 09:01:22

well he probably wouldn't have been my first choice but so it goes

x24rocks
2020-11-19 09:17:05

Wow ☹️

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 09:17:07

Wow

wow indeed

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 09:18:54

O’Slattery with 2 this game

yuda
2020-11-19 09:19:03

Valle is the mostly-defense catcher who only plays against LHP

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 09:23:49

I planned on uploading a file after each 2 game set. Do you guys need a file? @x24rocks @yuda

x24rocks
2020-11-19 09:24:02

Yeah makes it even worse But I got one on road

x24rocks
2020-11-19 09:24:18

I don’t need file I’m at work Next two games I already have set up so I’m good

👍 mstreeter06
yuda
2020-11-19 09:28:55

I'm good for game 3

yuda
2020-11-19 09:29:06

will need one before g4 tho

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 09:29:20

Sure sounds good. Game 3 coming up!

yuda
2020-11-19 09:33:05

did it crash?

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 09:33:43

I must have clicked out of my RDP OOTP window

yuda
2020-11-19 09:33:43

ah there it goes

yuda
2020-11-19 09:34:19

wow a line ball double play

yuda
2020-11-19 09:36:34

CI alert!

yuda
2020-11-19 09:37:37

what an inning: E5, fly out, pop out, CI, wild pitch, 2-run single

yuda
2020-11-19 09:37:45

then a HBP

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 09:37:51

wow that’s crazy

x24rocks
2020-11-19 09:37:57

Lol

x24rocks
2020-11-19 09:38:06

Weird inning

yuda
2020-11-19 09:38:42

yeah the OOTP gods just gifted me two runs basically

x24rocks
2020-11-19 09:49:39

knew it was going to be lower run game, but i have no offence

x24rocks
2020-11-19 09:50:18

45 pitches through 4 is not alot

x24rocks
2020-11-19 09:56:17

why man like why once he gave up the run should have pulled him

x24rocks
2020-11-19 09:58:52

Come on Igor

yuda
2020-11-19 10:00:25

dodged a bullet only giving up 1 in the 6th

yuda
2020-11-19 10:01:30

Mendoza's only thrown 77 pitches, you may see him again in the 7th

yuda
2020-11-19 10:02:36

he needs to come out of this game

x24rocks
2020-11-19 10:02:41

i know that DP wa huge for you

yuda
2020-11-19 10:05:06

ok the 7th was a miracle

x24rocks
2020-11-19 10:05:08

ugh again

yuda
2020-11-19 10:07:38

my turn for an ugh

yuda
2020-11-19 10:14:37

bold walking Mendoza to get to O'Slattery

yuda
2020-11-19 10:16:06

worked out though

yuda
2020-11-19 10:16:21

jfc inoue coughed up the lead in the 8th and he gets another inning?!

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 10:16:43

x24rocks

x24rocks
2020-11-19 10:17:15

AI right

x24rocks
2020-11-19 10:17:31

That was risky

yuda
2020-11-19 10:18:11

and then he goes out and throws 4 pitches and gets 3 weak ground balls

yuda
2020-11-19 10:22:22

my manager's an idiot but I guess so is everybody else's

x24rocks

yuda
2020-11-19 10:29:56

how many pitchers are you carrying for the playoffs?

x24rocks
2020-11-19 10:30:16

12

x24rocks
2020-11-19 10:30:28

but alot are on pitch counts

x24rocks
2020-11-19 10:30:55

the 3 that are left 2 are rookies

yuda
2020-11-19 10:31:41

somehow Trainor is only my fourth pitcher of the game

yuda
2020-11-19 10:34:46

boooooo

x24rocks
2020-11-19 10:36:00

WOOO

x24rocks

Refresh my 7 day lineup and I am good

x24rocks
2020-11-19 10:40:43

They were pulling pitchers left right and center for me it was like i was managing

yuda
2020-11-19 10:44:44

ok I'm ready

yuda
2020-11-19 10:44:55

wait didn't see the injury

yuda
2020-11-19 10:46:57

ok now I'm ready

mstreeter06

Awesome. I'll get Game 4 started in the next few minutes. Good luck guys!

mstreeter06

Well after the HTML Reports finishes uploading. I'll skip StatsPlus and StatsLab updates so we can get going.

x24rocks
2020-11-19 10:55:14

well i am off to buy my parents some beer and wine so when I come back i hope i am winning 😜😁

yuda
2020-11-19 11:12:52

wait @mstreeter06 works for powerschool? or just your local district?

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 11:14:49

I work for PowerSchool. Internal IT as a system administrator for multiple applications internally. Nothing to do with the public facing PowerSchool family of products.

yuda
2020-11-19 11:16:08

I have some Opinions about your product.

yuda
2020-11-19 11:16:20

but I will spare you 😉

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 11:16:29

lol

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 11:17:21

PowerSchool has been acquiring tons of companies (the one I started with PeopleAdmin here in KC) so it's been constant migrations haha

yuda
2020-11-19 11:17:32

also the reality is probably that I have complaints with how our district configured it

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 11:17:39

They bought Schoology just before COVID hit which ended up being a good buy

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 11:18:02

Ya that's possible. K12 or HE?

yuda
2020-11-19 11:25:08

K12

yuda
2020-11-19 11:25:18

solo shot for Mendoza

yuda
2020-11-19 11:25:30

if we win this series he’s got a real shot to be MVP of all three series for us

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 11:25:37

Explorers right off the bat

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:28:26

Ughhh

yuda
2020-11-19 11:30:25

we demoted Frank Baker right around June 1 (I don’t remember exactly). He’d evidently become a bit of a clubhouse cancer because I got one of those emails thanking me for cutting ties when I did it

yuda
2020-11-19 11:31:10

we’re 78-53 since then

yuda
2020-11-19 11:31:52

(he retired at the conclusion of the AAA season. Marginal HOF candidate but he probably won’t get in)

yuda
2020-11-19 11:32:24

/player frank baker

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:32:28

Because he retired if you guys win a ring he won’t get a little ring notification on the top of his profile

yuda
2020-11-19 11:33:04

for his season he doesn’t deserve one 😉

yuda
2020-11-19 11:33:43

Dan Jackson (longtime 1B/DH) also retired

yuda
2020-11-19 11:34:19

and for that matter Rodrigo Gomez, who had put in 11 seasons in the bigs as a swing man

yuda
2020-11-19 11:35:11

clearly none of them thought we could make a run or they’d have waited for the rollover to hang ’em up

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:35:30

The minor-league roll over retires them

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:35:47

It sucks I was checking like I always do when teams go to the finals to see who would win a ring if each team wins

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 11:35:50

It's always tough to finally pull the trigger to demote your aging star

yuda
2020-11-19 11:36:42

by ratings he should have still had it

yuda
2020-11-19 11:36:48

had a down year last year but then tore it up int he playoffs

yuda
2020-11-19 11:36:57

but 171 batting average with not much power in 2 months

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:37:09

Yeah Frank Baker looked good I almost offered you tie Hinkle for him straight up after last year’s playoffs

yuda
2020-11-19 11:37:20

you should have 😉

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:37:47

I probably would not be where I am lol

yuda
2020-11-19 11:38:02

Ánibal Matos, SS, Retired
Ánibal Pérez, 1B, Free Agent, 27 yo

yuda
2020-11-19 11:38:26

plays great D and is a net positive but he does not have the batter profile you’d hope for from a third baseman

yuda
2020-11-19 11:39:06

with his 8 career home runs

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:39:22

Especially in your ballpark, The reason I didn’t offer you the trade is because power hitters don’t do well in my ballpark usually My Ballpark is built for the gap hitters

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:43:12

Honestly with your team I can’t believe you haven’t won a title since 2013

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:46:10

They pulled him again

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:47:57

Only one run come on guys

yuda
2020-11-19 11:48:32

yeah it’s crazy

yuda
2020-11-19 11:48:41

he’ll get an extra day rest before his next start maybe he’ll stretch out this time

yuda
2020-11-19 11:49:53

Bradshaw pulled too

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:50:44

82 pitches he only has four stamina so that’s kind of his limit

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:52:05

The bases were loaded so Maybe it was a good thing that they pulled him

x24rocks
2020-11-19 11:57:04

you're much more aggressive with intentional BBs than I am

(idk if that's on purpose or not)

x24rocks
2020-11-19 14:54:05

yeah i like match ups

yuda
2020-11-19 14:56:10

that one kinda backfired though

yuda
2020-11-19 14:58:06

Reyes may not make the roster next year. His ratings still look good but he's been hit hard all year.

yuda
2020-11-19 15:01:13

ok, we need to split a 2-game set.

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 15:02:16

Stepping away for 45-60 min

x24rocks
2020-11-19 15:03:31

you know what can i have a file then cause i will be home and would like to look at what i have

x24rocks
2020-11-19 15:08:37

Reyes might be good trade candidate

mstreeter06
2020-11-19 15:54:11

Sure thing. Just got back myself and will upload a new one before Game 8.

x24rocks
2020-11-19 16:29:07

OK I’m gonna go download the file and export and if there is a game 9 I will not need a new one

if there's a game 9 I'll probably have a change to make all pitchers available but nothing for 8

yuda
2020-11-22 08:10:14

We’ll see if I have time today but thinking I want to go through and release minor leaguers now instead of after spring training so they’re available when the Indy league teams are signing

jeff_new_mexico
2020-11-22 08:33:42

I’ve been thinking about spring cleaning now as well. One drawback is unforeseen development in a released player over the offseason. So maybe just absolutely hopeless guys now.

yuda
2020-11-22 12:19:20

Oh yeah I’ve got plenty of like 26+ guys sitting in my system as organizational depth. Leaning towards releasing quite a few of them and picking up younger little-hopers from free agency

jeff_new_mexico
2020-11-22 13:04:38

I guess I do minor league releases, getting rid of older guys and signing younger guys throughout the year so I rarely do a lot at once. I think I’ve gotten things out of balance in the minors now though. Too many R players that aren’t developed enough to advance. And now I’ve added draft picks by trading AAA players. Didn’t think that through 🙄. Have to push some guys.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-11-22 13:22:14

Hmm plus six nineteen-year-olds in IC. Four of which are probably no-brainer cuts.

yuda
2020-11-22 15:17:27

I do through the year some, too. But at the beginning of every year I promote a lot of players (some because of age limits, some because they're ready) and I usually wind up with a lot of releases around opening day.

yuda
2020-11-22 15:48:38

ok, that's 12 guys released who have no realistic shot to play on my team next year (and are too old to get better in almost every case)

jeff_new_mexico
2020-11-22 16:31:41

Sometimes I wish the minor league roster limits were lower, say 30-32. I always shoot for that range because organizing/planning seems easier. But it never lasts long, the spaces always get filled and several players at each level end up in a distracting practice-squad type thing in my head. 🤯

and even if he doesn't stick as a SP, he should be a good LHRP in his twilight

In NM we should have a bit more power this season with Raith starting and the addition of Reid:

C Cordero 10
DH Lopez 10 (vs R)
LF Reid 9 (not sure if he can hit ML pitching yet)
SS Martinez 8 (potential 9)
1B Santana 7
3B Raith 7
CF Rodriguez 7 (out 5 weeks)
RF Ortiz 6
2B McCrary 4 (potential 6)

Added a good arm to the bullpen, Jon Salinger (4 of 5 stars), who is coming up from Carlsbad (A). Three more RPs with great potential not quite ready for ML yet (Bachleitner, Harris and Nelson) will begin the year in AAA.

SP should be solid with still some room for development. No backsliding and I'll be happy.

Looking forward to the season!

lt - Idaho
2020-12-03 10:22:32

A very young idaho team will be interesting this year. No chance to make playoffs, but lots of reasons to be excited. Lineup:
3B- 31 year old Lahoda chasing the all time steals mark,
CF- 21 year old Joe Scott.
LF- Edgardo Gallindo who at 24 is a 3 time Allstar and 2 time Gold Glover.
1B - 23 year old Sadao Tanaka.
RF - 24 year old Frank Lopez.
DH - Dave Harris (23)/Jon James (26)
C - Steve West (23)
SS - Joe Hyde (23)
2B - Manolo Gonzalez (22)

Should be a fun season in California - largely the same cast of characters as seasons past, it'd be nice if we showed up in the post-season. Feeling pretty solid about our pitching. Offense should score, all depends on how many games Garren makes it through and the health of the other big pieces

How hard do you guys push prospects up to the majors? Can it break them?

AJCVipers
2020-12-03 11:29:34

I’m pushing a second tier SP prospect up, and a 3.5 star potential reliever up. Felt like the midway point between no new prospects to break camp and pushing leo bray up too early

yuda
2020-12-03 11:48:20

I promote guys somewhat aggressively.

yuda
2020-12-03 11:48:40

More so to AA and AAA because I also want to win in the majors

yuda
2020-12-03 11:49:16

But if I have a lost season I’ll let a rookie take some knocks. But not too long, if he’s really struggling for weeks on end I send him back down

yuda
2020-12-03 11:51:28

Maybe the right way to put it is that I’ll typically play whomever in my system I think is the best player right now. If that’s a rookie who in theory has more room to develop, so be it.

yuda
2020-12-03 11:51:42

I prefer not to promote guys who are still developing to sit on the bench though

jeff_new_mexico
2020-12-03 11:55:32

I usually promote one level at a time as soon as stats seem good enough (though I try to keep most players at each level at least half a season no matter the stats). If I’m consistent about this the players sort of fall into place according to overall star ratings: .5 at rookie, 1 at A, 1.5 at AA, 2 at AAA and at least 2.5 at ML level. Which is kinda cool and makes sense I think.

So I’m pretty conservative with promotions, unless someone has a big jump in ratings. Like Salinger this year who was injured in A (for the whole season I think) and came out of it with a four star overall rating after the offseason.

x24rocks
2020-12-03 11:55:46

It depends if I am good I usually hold a player back unless they are fully ready to start a bit.

If I am an ok team with a shot at the playoffs I am aggressive, but mostly I like to hold back till they are ready to jump into Starting lineup

x24rocks
2020-12-03 11:58:33

I agree with Jeff I like players to play at Min a half a season at a level, more like a full season to be safe and help with development

mstreeter06
2020-12-03 11:59:42

I try to stay aggressive with my promotions but am cautious of going too fast to try to prevent prospects from stalling / getting overmatched

yuda
2020-12-03 12:00:49

Oh I rarely promote guys more than one level per year

yuda
2020-12-03 12:01:18

I will promote guys with no obvious talents to levels higher than they maybe deserve sometimes because I need a backup SS at AA or whatever though

chappy
2020-12-03 12:06:53

It's possible for Flash Rodriguez to take the career NC WAR crown from Goppy this season.

chappy

In 5 years, Huerta already holds the GA career pitching WAR lead. He and Steele are 3 WAR off the overall lead. 36 WAR isn't much to brag about though.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-12-03 16:39:28

Looks like four rookies will make the opening day roster.

Josh Holliday will start in CF for the injured Jose Rodriguez.
Gene Killy will back up at 2B and SS.
Jeff Constant will be second catcher.
Jon Salinger will be the closer.

jeff_new_mexico
2020-12-03 16:42:46

I still have a couple of cuts to make but we uhh... won't have that much of a youth movement.

x24rocks
2020-12-03 17:33:12

I will have little bit of a youth movement a little bit in my bullpen and my infield with new starting third baseman And technically Igor Will be a new Addition as well but I also did a 35-year-old first baseman so

tjsmith7_georgia
2020-12-03 20:40:27

GA had 3 rookies last year, and 2 guys who just barely lost their rookie eligibility. One, Walker CF was injured, the other at SS. Both had about 150 ABs. Bowling takes over SS for Raul Hernandez and his 7 Silver Sluggers. Hernandez lost the ability to play SS last season (rating:1) and will try out 2B this year. That -57 ZR ought to see a big improvement. Only rookie is CL Chandler. Should be good.

His stuff potential ticked back up so that’s a positive. He’s lost two from his control, down to three, if he gets that back he’ll have a chance. Quite a few guys in the system ahead of him, but definitely hanging on to him.

x24rocks

It makes the league basically a dynasty league. Building your franchise through the draft, trades, and claiming free agents (note we have an independent league, United Baseball League - UBL, that players on those rosters are available with the same rules as normal FAs).

yuda

Since his first full ML season (2046) he's played in just 49.8% of our games. Over the last 3+ years, that number dips to 29.5%. It's a shame too, dude used to just rake.

Looking at upcoming sim vs. NY and Oregon and noticed Mario Cruz hit his 500th home run earlier this season. Up to 502 but hasn't hit one since May 16th. Needs three more to pass Jonathon DeBorthwick and move into 6th place.

Well crap just noticed that v2 of my 4 schedules for us has the All-Star Game on a day earlier than the other 3 versions. We'll have to include the Sunday July 14th games with the ASG sim on Monday Jan 4 (Sim 15). I'll fix this for time time around rotating our schedules.

AFBL Commish
2020-12-30 08:56:25

Ahh I think I only need to use v3 and v4 looking at the 4 and forgot about the adjustment I had someone make for my request on the OOTP Boards. I'll likely just remove v1 and v2 from the rotation since they look to match v3 and v4 with the extra day in the ASG break being the difference.

So Ken Daniels has been removed from the closer role in Ontario And freshly minted Allstar Dan Thompson is taking over the role Coincidentally Ken Daniels blew his fifth save of the season In the final game before the All-Star break The talent is still there but the results are not.

And after being sent to the minors by New Mexico last season Dominic Bennett is an all star again

4-2 with an extra inning loss and a bottom of the ninth loss. Relief pitching has cost us quite a few games this season though overall stats are good. Getting hammered in key situations.

Need 35 home runs in 24 games to break the home run record. Had 40 in the last 24 games so it's going to be close. Amazes me that we've kept up the pace to this point in the season. Trying to get guys a little extra rest for the playoffs as well which will make it tougher.

I never know how much weight to give the playoff odds esp during September and a close wildcard race. The 5000 sims are only using winning percentages in a formula to determine the winner of each remaining game (If I understand correctly). So if that’s true, September roster changes, recent injuries (that have not yet impacted winning percentages much), matchup advantages, ballparks etc don’t get factored in.

pretty solid bullpen. IF I believed in openers and followers I probably would be better off, but i hate that shit

In real Life it gave Wilmer Font a paycheck he was dope as opener for Jays shit pitching at another time

WOW yeah thats something @jeheinz72 else

jeheinz72
2021-01-27 11:48:14

Yeah, I mean part of it is sample-size - only 5 starts before I did it, and he was a good SP for awhile, but he's at like 13+ K/9 as a follower

lt - Idaho
2021-01-27 11:49:04

i had someone in another league tell me how effective it was for him too. i just find it is not good for baseball - lol

I actually on that team now have two opener/follower pairs - guided a pretty mediocre team into the LCS which is happening shortly

Oregon might have to experiment with openers/followers next season if we still look likely to be bad to mediocre

wait, do we have that turned on?

mstreeter06
2021-01-27 13:07:47

I think I got that turned on

yuda
2021-01-27 13:10:48

oh I see

yuda
2021-01-27 13:11:02

you put the follower in the rotation and if you have more than one guy listed as an opener you have no control over who opens

yuda
2021-01-27 13:11:12

that is way not intuitive to how i'd have expected it to work

yuda
2021-01-27 13:11:14

thank you reddit

💯 mstreeter06
yuda
2021-01-27 13:11:45

(and if you only have one opener and he's tired the game will start your follower)

that would be awsome

x24rocks
2021-01-27 13:17:00

if you want, last few years i have had no SP in AA and A so its been rough

mstreeter06
2021-01-27 13:17:21

honestly thought the change was global but makes sense that it would be specific to each league

x24rocks
2021-01-27 13:20:07

yeah its actually pretty simple the follower is your every 5 day guy and you should have more then one opener unless you have a Wilmer Font who excels in the role and I believe the highest rested guy should Open but I haven't used it alot in my Solo so its still pretty new for me

x24rocks
2021-01-27 13:21:42

also if there is Openers make sure you check your settings to how you want the lineup set because some set it up for the follower

x24rocks
2021-01-27 13:21:57

and some like using the opener

yuda
2021-01-27 13:23:51

presumably you'd want the opener to be, like, a high quality setup type pitcher. not sure there's much point to throwing a schlub

yuda
2021-01-27 13:24:01

I guess unless you can throw your LOOGY and expect to get 3 lefties

yuda
2021-01-27 13:29:05

I'm probably exposing how little attention I've paid to MLB the last couple years here

x24rocks
2021-01-27 13:29:20

for me its High stuff velocity guy low walks who gets 2 innings which is yeah can be Setup guy but desnt have to be my ideal guy would be Chris Ball 2 top teir pitches good stuff low walks but Jon Morgan and Frazier Taylor would both work instead of using up good Pen arm Who pitching 2 innings is expected.
these guys are from my AFBL team BTW

x24rocks

Weird thing is I had three free agents in my rotation this year. I drafted McCormick and he’s hit a wall. Jenkins was drafted I think but as a reliever. He got injured and lost potential and his job, but eventually turned himself into a decent starter. So four have had strange paths to the rotation.

jeff_new_mexico
2021-01-29 17:33:32

I do have 19-year-old SP Jeff Todd (another free agent I think) coming along nicely. Ended the year in AA at 8/6/5 (pot. 10/7/8), 2-star overall, 5-star potential. But his third pitch is a 3-potential changeup. With an already excellent sinker and knuckle curve he might be ok with that though.

Hoping he will be the one to break through.

I had a great run, far better than I expected without Steele. Offense was a mess. SP Huerta has significantly declined through the season. I had to bench him at the end, he may be a #4 starter next season.

jeff_new_mexico
2021-02-04 21:42:22

Even though we won it still feels like we were soundly beaten. We couldn’t hit, striking out constantly. We stayed in it thanks to good starts by McCormick, Mata and Jenkins. Intense, odd, interesting series!

jeff_new_mexico
2021-02-04 21:54:38

Against Texas and California I went with defense and took some power out of the lineup (hoping it would help our pitching) and we won so I went the same way the first six games of the Cup series. But when we fell behind 4-2 I thought to heck with it and put the power back in.

Not sure if it helped or not but McCrary got his starting job back at least for a while.

tjsmith7_georgia
2021-02-04 21:57:22

Akiyama was a godsend this post-season. 6 home runs from my #6 hitting catcher. His injury status is Wrecked. So his new position is designated Post-season Hero. Seriously, he may play once a week during the season, then I'll run him ragged in post season.

Noooooo, Huerta's stuff rating took another dive down to 4. He's no longer ML caliber at age 32. My one chance for a HOF pitcher. He may be done at 50 WAR and 2.5 POY. I wonder if leading the league in IP for 3 years destroyed his arm? Part of me is lost.

I have none so far. Raul Silva will make it when eligible, but i messed up Dobson’s career by forcing him to play SS. He declined fairly rapidly once he hit his 30s but he was a 9 time all star, still sits too 10 in RBI and had a great career...

Thanks @Nick (Alabama). Glad you joined us. Drafts have always been somewhat slow or at least not fast paced but it is much better happening during Spring Training and the beginning months of the season instead of in the Offseason where the year rollover would take forever.

2-1 but down three RPs already. Cahill gone for the year. Was a big part of the bullpen during playoffs. Laplante gone for three months. Bachleitner dtd for a month but going on IL.

Only two rookies this year. C Jerry Decker backing up Cordero and serving as captain, and 19-year-old future ace (I hope) Jeff Todd starts out in bullpen.

yuda
2021-02-22 09:52:17

Cahill hurt again? He had one multi-month injury for me (at least) too, so I fear he’s at least “prone” now and possibly wrecked.

jeff_new_mexico
2021-02-22 10:02:49

He was injured in the finals and then had a setback of eight months so im thinking he’s close to done. Had a good year and a great playoffs last year though so he was well worth it and if he’s done he went out on top.

jeff_new_mexico
2021-02-22 08:36:52

Make that three rookies, RP Mike Harris joins the bullpen as well.

When there is a difference btwn ratings in the game and StatsPlus draft ratings which one is correct? The guy I just drafted has a difference of three in stuff potential.

my assumption would have been that it does but I don’t know for sure.

Could be the diff between a RP and SP

End of an era in Kentucky as the Lions ship veteran 3B Roger Peck north to Ontario. We wish him the best of luck in hunting for another championship ring in the twilight of his career!

Zach - KY

in 17.5 seasons with the club, Peck has amassed 75.2 WAR, 481 HRs, 1511 RBI, .295 career average, 2809 hits, and a 126 OPS+

In the wake of this move, Kentucky will be calling up a few young pitchers to try to get some experience in somewhat meaningful games the rest of the way.

Zach - KY
2021-03-10 14:10:35

Youngster and top prospect Ivan Morales, who made his debut with 4 starts last season, will enter the regular rotation going forward this season. Hopefully the added challenge of ML hitters will help him take the next step forward in his development.

4-5 sim. Mish-mash of good and bad. Pitched two shutouts in a row but gave up too many in games where we didn't hit. McCrary and O'Slattery ranked 1st and 2nd in FL average for the moment. McCray hasn't hit this well since his rookie year.

If McCrary can get hot and hit five more home runs everyone in the normal starting lineup would have 20+.

4-2. Loss of O'Slattery is going to hurt our offense, but our already good defense will get a boost in RF. Five game lead over Colorado and six over Texas.

12 more home runs gives us 268, only 11 short of the record with 18 games to go. NY 11 behind us now at 257.

yuda
2021-04-06 09:51:06

hard to believe looking at his current ratings but at one point O'Slattery was rangey enough to be a plus right fielder and a below average but not defense-destroying CF option

jeff_new_mexico
2021-04-06 10:15:43

Last year I platooned him because of his defense. After his hot start this year I didn’t want to take him out. I probably overplayed him.

Can't quite get a feel on this team. They feel like they are inconsistent and aging in places, but it's probably just the lack of superstars and various minor injuries.

What do you guys think of a 4 man rotation?

AFBL Commish
2021-04-07 18:48:47

If you have the right 4 starters and a good balance in the pen, it's doable but still a challenge.

AFBL Commish

Without financials or options to worry about, I think it's easier to pull off in our setup probably?

jeff_new_mexico
2021-04-07 18:53:51

I've never used 4-man during the regular season because I'm queasy about overusing starters. I try to go 6-man a couple of times in the season, usually around all-star game and in September. Always 4-man in the playoffs though. I think @Zach - KY used 4-man successfully for a long time. Depends on what the staff looks like of course.

Zach - KY
2021-04-07 18:55:03

Yeah I did it for a while! I got a lot of starts in with my starters and often lead the league with a couple. But I had to have some solid relievers who could go multiple innings. Saves your roster spot though !

Zach - KY
2021-04-07 18:55:26

I might be doing it again soon! We’ll see how many of my starters pan out

AFBL Commish
2021-04-08 08:52:58

We'll run the playoffs daily or whenever everyone involved is ready so we usually get the playoffs done in about a week

OK, one Mallard survived the Opener/Follower experiment... Arturo Valadez

This season: 11-6, 4.46 ERA, 170 Ks, 1.37 WHIP, -0.6 WAR

Nelson Juarez and Bob Jones were the primary openers

Juarez
Last season (rookie): 0-1, 4.43 ERA, 15 Ks, 1.03 WHIP, 0 WAR in 20.1 IP
This season: 2-6, 1 save, 3.81 ERA, 63 Ks, 1.19 WHIP, 1.0 WAR in 75.2 IP (24 starts)

Jones
Last season (rookie): 1-2, 3.88 ERA, 56 Ks, 1.33 WHIP, 0 WAR in 72 IP
This season: 1-4, 1 save, 4.59 ERA, 69 Ks, 1.31 WHIP, 1.2 WAR in 64.2 IP (15 starts)

Wouldn't say it was successful, but it was an interesting experiment for a team that wasn't going anywhere this season.

I think I'm down to two players that I inherited when I joined up in '40 season. Jose Santos who was drafted in '38 and Tony Ortiz who was a scouting discovery in '38. Cordero and Santana were both scouting discoveries during the '40 season but I think they were both discovered after I joined up.

Also see Tim Rivera listed as a 1st round draft pick for the Danger in '33. I didn't know that. Not sure what the deal was with him leaving but in '48 I traded a 1st round pick to NJ for him.

I don't see a reason to have a tie breaker for Wild Card slots. I'm sure home field is a question, but I'm good with a coin flip.

chappy
2021-04-12 11:38:26

So right now Ontario is the 1 seed, but I'm not sure if the 2 seed goes to the South Champ automatically of if it's based on record.

chappy
2021-04-12 11:39:36

If it doesn't go to the division champion automatically, then NY should in theory have a right to compete for it. But then again, none of us want to use up our starters when we're already in the postseason... just not sure how OOTP handles ties

@Larry_Washington same question I was asking

Larry_Washington
2021-04-21 15:43:54

Can't get a valid export date. My game date says 11-16 but three exports so far are dated 11-13.

mstreeter06
2021-04-21 15:45:51

I think its because StatsPlus is still pending update

mstreeter06
2021-04-21 15:45:59

It’ll be updated in a few minutes

Nick (Alabama)
2021-04-21 15:46:34

I was able to just download it

Nick (Alabama)
2021-04-21 15:46:59

Larry_Washington
2021-04-21 15:52:38

Actually had the problem backwards. My game date is later than the expected date. AFBL - Export received for Washington, incorrect date of 2053-11-16, should be 2053-11-13 (106,261 bytes)

mstreeter06
2021-04-21 15:53:38

Yup yup. It’s got to be due to StatsPlus not yet being updated itself. The sim upload goes in file > reports > statsplus > statslab.

mstreeter06
2021-04-21 15:54:35

Once this StatsPlus data dump finishes, I’ll upload to StatsPlus then be able to start Game 9!

Larry_Washington
2021-04-21 15:55:27

OK thanks. Will I need to export again to have my roster changes implemented?

mstreeter06
2021-04-21 15:55:47

No shouldn’t need to. I’ll double check before starting though!

Larry_Washington
2021-04-21 15:59:19

Needed to remove Ronnie Carriere from the lineup as he can't hit anybody....

Richard Hager
2021-04-21 16:01:33

I would vote against that move 😉

Richard Hager
2021-04-21 16:01:54

Dave, creator of StatsPlus, has added a new S+ feature

Hey all, added a new feature, "Sim Recap".  You can see it from the main League menu right next to Sim Preview.

It has a few different pieces of info, including:
-In-game messages for logged-in GMs (click subject to show full content)
-Best Batting and Pitching Performances of the sim
-Rookie debuts
-Milestones reached

The High School League and College League playoffs start next sim, so it depends on how long they take.

Both are three rounds long, best of 5, best of 7 and best of 7. So probably late May/early June (game time).

Anyone on have insight on Speed, Stealing, and Baserunning? Like i have a guy with 1 speed, 8 stealing, and 6 baserunning. So does that mean he's good at getting a jump but is just super slow actually running. Hard to adjust strategies when I dont fully understand the ratings

jeff_new_mexico
2021-06-09 20:46:14

Speed is actual speed btwn bases. Stealing is skill at stealing. Base running is making good decisions about taking extra bases etc.

Well, looks like NM's four-year streak of winning the East is likely coming to an end. Three games back with three to play. We have NC and TX has MN. Our playoff streak will continue at nine years.

Albuquerque repeated as AA champs and Oklahoma City (also trying to repeat) is ahead 3 games to 2 over Atlanta in the AAA finals.

Would be cool if there was situation-dependent speed. Maybe go quicker if no one is on base and slow down if men on base. Or in late innings etc.

Haven't had much of a chance to dig into 22 yet, just played a bit when I first got it, but the new strategy options are great. None of my bookmarks from 20 work but i didn't have many.

Nick (Alabama)
2021-07-25 16:10:19

I haven't had success with switching over yet. I'm on a mac, which may be my issue. I tried to import to 21 first but couldn't get to the file in OOTP navigation. Please let us know when the league file can just be downloaded as that's likely going to be my best bet.

mstreeter06
2021-07-25 16:29:14

It’ll be tonight before I can zip everything up @Nick (Alabama). I don’t have OOTP on my Mac but you probably need to navigate up a folder level or two to get to the Out of the Park Developments folder to find OOTP20, OOTP21, OOTP22 then drill down into 20 to saved_games then to AFBL.lg. Unless the Mac location is much different than PC.

Nick (Alabama)
2021-07-25 16:31:50

Yeah, I couldn't figure it out. I know where the files are located on my hard drive, but couldn't navigate to them with their janky interface. I'll just use the file. No worries

jeff_new_mexico
2021-07-25 16:52:40

I know what you mean, the ootp import interface is terrible on mac. I finally copied the league folder to a location I knew I could get to and imported from there. 🤯

They keep changing where they put the files each version as well.

Nick (Alabama)
2021-07-25 16:55:06

That’s a good idea. I thought of that but didn’t execute on it. I will try that this evening.

mstreeter06

That’s frustrating to hear they don’t make it easy for Mac users like it seemingly like it is for PC (at least non-Steam)

jeff_new_mexico
2021-07-25 17:10:58

It was easy to find the 21 saved games folder, but I could not figure out how to get to the 20 folder from the import interface, there just doesn’t seem to be a route to it. I may be missing something obvious but it’s not obvious to me….obviously.

2021-07-26 15:12:49

if you downloaded the most recent file into ootp20 you are screwed and will need the league file - if it is something else then that's out of my league... I would say I make this mistake 50% of the time.

Nick (Alabama)
2021-07-26 16:40:03

I still haven't had any luck either. I pulled both files from the FTP and they didn't work and have tried the 20 file converting to 21 and then 22. I can get it to load but I can't get it to download the update.

One thing I found out the hard way is to make sure you are using the latest OOTP version. I downloaded both files, many times and tried all different methods. Turns out I was out of date.

2021-07-27 07:20:05

I haven't figured out the upgrade either. Tried downloading unlicensed 21 and it doesn't give access to any tools. My 22 is Steam licensed, so should be up to date. Unzipping the league file tells me it is a 20 file and can't be upgraded.

mstreeter06
2021-07-27 09:10:00

Hmm I can put together a new file. Possible I zipped it up from my OOTP20 folder without realizing?

tjsmith7_georgia
2021-07-27 18:58:36

I got my issue figured out. Combination of Steam using their proprietary saved folder, even if I thought I disabled it. Best way to check is to create a new league and see where it saves that info.

tjsmith7_georgia
2021-07-27 19:01:07

Not sure what the deal with the other messages was yesterday. Suspect it was because the league was named wrong? in saved games, the league folder must be "AFBL.lg". Either leaving the .lg off or adding to the name threw it off.

Took two lousy fielders in the second round. First time I’ve drafted anyone with DH in mind and I took two! I suppose Walker has a way outside chance at 1B but didn’t draft him counting on that. Should be interesting. 🤷‍♂️

I was looking at both those guys...but had the same thoughts

Richard Hager

walker has a chance...it's usually where I'm "willing" to hide defensive liabilities, which is a little funny since they are involved with a lot of plays

not really the smart move 🙂

jeff_new_mexico
2021-08-13 21:45:13

My thinking about DHs in the minors and drafting changed quite a bit during the off-season and I was hoping there would be a couple of no-field, good-hit guys in the second round to test my resolve. Haha. Normally I would have gone with pitching there with the hitting that was left.

Not this time, but it's happened to me a few times where it takes forever to go from 0 to 100%, eventually gets to 100% but then gives an error. I usually close out of OOTP, restart my computer, and then basically keep trying and every time it eventually works. Currently doing this process with the NPBL file

Larry_Washington
2021-09-13 19:21:04

that's exactly what's happening to me. And it's doing that on both AFBL and NPBL. But not in my other league that's still on 21.

Right now, it's hung up at the 20% point. It had gone 5% at a time with a noticeable but minor wait after each 5%. But it always gets hung up at 20%.

Larry_Washington
2021-09-13 19:32:04

I'm also in another 22 league and I was just able to load that one in around a minute. So it appears to only be AFBL and NPBL. So I'm hard-pressed to believe that it's a connection issue.

@tjsmith7_georgia I still don't understand stolen bases, because I had a guy finish the year with an 8 rating for both running speed and stealing ability. Yet he only went 50/83.. Just seems like with 8+ ratings all year, he should have been a little more successful.

tjsmith7_georgia
2021-10-06 21:50:08

8's never seem to be successful at stealing at a good rate. 9s+ to get a good percentage. 6-8 are more opportunists and you have to reign in the 8s that think they are speedsters.

I have tinkered with their individual strategy settings and try to find the right balance for my guys. I’ve had pretty good success making them efficient.

2021-10-08 09:58:53

It's always interesting having a Closer with a 10 stamina. Brad Chandler pitched 9th-11th innings, but will probably have to rest a game or 2. Won this time, but I think previous playoffs it has cost me by losing his availability.

Exciting upcoming new beta feature coming to S+ will be Trade Tool in StatsPlus (not released or announced yet 😄)

StatsPlus Trade Tool

Summary
Propose / accept trades on StatsPlus, with automatic posts to Slack

What it is:
- Allow one GM to create a trade involving players, cash and draft picks and send proposal to another GM
- Second GM can review the trade and accept or decline on StatsPlus
- Accepted trades are automatically posted to Slack / Discord in a standard format, with all players linked to their S+ pages
- No limit on number of players or picks involved (OOTP limits to 5, this feature will allow more)
- S+ will show a best-effort financial summary of the trade at proposal and accept/decline time
- S+ will allow including salary retention as part of the trade proposal
- Show a history of trades agreed on S+, including a list of trades per team, trades involving a player, trades involving a specific draft pick
- Draft pick trading can be optionally enabled for a league, with options managed by the commissioner / admin for which years of picks can be traded for a specific league
- Draft picks involved in trades are automatically tracked, to be applied when the next draft is imported (best effort here, there will be some cases S+ can't handle)
- Attempt to track which player ended up being chosen with a specific traded pick
- Include warning about players with NTC

What it is not:
- S+ will not be able to match OOTP finances exactly, so it cannot be relied upon to be sure a trade will work
- Due to missing info from OOTP, retained salary options in S+ may not match what is in game
- A shortcut for entering trades in OOTP. All trades still need to be entered and processed in game.

So I tried to move my saved games folder and really messed up my install. I use Steam, so I tried to uninstall 22 and Steam, but the error keeps coming back. Any recommendations on completely resetting Steam so it will treat my OOTP install as a fresh install? Seems like some files are caching in Steam. I'll try to post error messages later.

Hmm have you tried removing the saved_games and trying from scratch yet? Not sure how the steam route differs from the traditional way.

tjsmith7_georgia
2021-11-04 09:11:29

Steam essentially creates two install locations with OOTP. The default locations where ootp wants to install itsself and the steam basic setup. The steamapps\ folder is usually where steam installs get placed unless you've done any custom destination. And your profile folder has local files for OOTP. It looks like the game isn't looking in the proper folder for game files?

tjsmith7_georgia
2021-11-04 09:12:54

I don't know the answer for sure. I would google where ootp & steam are installing files. Then look at the setup settings for both steam and ootp. I know when we port to a new version, I have to hunt for instructions.

tjsmith7_georgia
2021-11-04 09:13:39

The errors read like the ootp app is looking in the wrong location for database files.

4-2 sim. Lost the series vs NY 2-1. Won the first game 9-8, lost the next two 8-7, the final in extras. Pitching took the series off apparently.

12 steals on 13 attempts in the two games combined. Their catcher has thrown out 30% of runners in his career, so maybe the pitcher was just two slow delivering the ball.

👀 Brett- CA Bulldogs, Richard Hager
chappy
2022-01-08 15:31:05

Takahashi was injured in his 2nd straight start... so he's lasted 1 inning and a third of an inning in his last two outings. Sore forearm the first time, back spasms the second. At least he's still going to play.

Early 2 run bomb for Ruedos, he’s been a good young player.

Zach - KY

We’re relying on veteran Cris Colon to get us a big win here. His ratings have dwindled but he remains an important part of the Kentucky pitching staff.

We just haven't had the clutch hits, just like all season long in close/late games. Interesting that lefty Leo Ward got our one win. He's definitely been a big part of this season for us.

Charlie Gaines hits a 2-out run-scoring single to cut the NC deficit to 1-2

2022-01-11 08:24:35

Odwin strikes out the side in the bottom 3rd

chappy
2022-01-11 08:25:17

Morales struck out the last batter in the top 3rd and 1st in the top 4th, so 5 batters in a row have fanned

chappy
2022-01-11 08:25:49

Choppy ties the game with a solo HR, 2-2 in the T4

chappy
2022-01-11 08:29:15

Kentucky rallying in the bottom of the 4th - lead 4-2, still no outs

NC trails 5-3, down to their final 6 outs

Pinch-hitter Bobby Godwin hits a solo HR to make it 5-4 in the top of the 8th

KY has loaded the bases with 1 out in the bottom of the 8th

Zach - KY

It's a war zone out there. 4+ injuries in this game

chappy
2022-01-11 11:31:54

Hmmm... Probably Ron Tucker. With the off day coming and Altagracia going 7.1 before getting hurt, the bullpen should be rested.

chappy
2022-01-11 11:32:31

Tucker hasn't started a game since 2055 and was in the minors most of 2056.

chappy
2022-01-11 11:32:56

But he's a groundball pitcher with good control.

chappy
2022-01-11 11:34:00

Former 1st round pick (20th overall) who didn't reach what we thought his potential was. 4.25 career ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 74 big league games, including 22 starts.

chappy
2022-01-11 11:34:47

So now the questions becomes do we bench Choppy.

chappy
2022-01-11 11:35:22

We let Takahashi play with back spasms and now he's out for 7-8 months.

chappy
2022-01-11 11:40:04

I think we will move Gaines from DH to RF, shift Nelson from RF to LF (where Choppy was), move Hobbs from 1B to DH and bring Turd Newton in to play 1B. Newton has never been good in the playoffs, but he's the best bat available I think

chappy
2022-01-11 11:52:00

It was fun while it lasted. I think the most impressive part was only 2 strikeouts.

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-11 11:55:27

Also, was glad to see the NM error was Jenkins, so if he had been able to complete it, it would have been his own fault it wasnt perfect

chappy
2022-01-11 11:55:55

I feel like the majority of errors in OOTP are made by pitchers

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-11 11:56:18

You haven't seen the CA defense lol

chappy
2022-01-11 11:56:58

For instance, there have been 3 errors today

chappy
2022-01-11 11:57:03

all 3 by pitchers

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-11 11:59:04

CA pitchers had 14 all year. I had 3 position players alone with 12+. So might be a combination of how bad my infield is and how good my pitchers are defensively

chappy
2022-01-11 12:01:12

I guess my pitchers only had 11.

chappy
2022-01-11 12:01:21

It sure feels like they are always making errors.

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 12:22:56

Arvelos is listed OUT 1 Week - Game 7 is exactly 7 days away! No roster moves in the series, but if we make it to the next round he should be ready for game 1. He had his second consecutive 4.9 WAR season this year, would be a big add.

chappy
2022-01-11 14:12:38

Rookie Cale McClure will start game 4. He allowed 2 ER on 8 hits in 6 innings in his lone start this postseason vs NY.

chappy
2022-01-11 14:13:22

Odwin Reijssen will probably be rested in time for game 6. I'm always fuzzy on the math..

Hot start!

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:06:02

A new-look lineup for KY tonight. Ed Williams getting a shot at SS and OF Pat Watkins replacing the injured Limpinho.

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:06:35

Ruedos moved up to the cleanup spot after hitting 4 bombs with 12 rbi and hitting .520 so far in the playoffs.

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:07:02

1st inning homer for him pays off!

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:07:54

Pat Watkins with a single and SB, scores to retake the lead!

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:08:20

Koyama needs a bounceback start. Struggled in his only outing against MD.

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:10:29

Big SB from Turd and he scores from 2nd on a 2 out single to even things at 3!

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:28:01

NC extends the lead to 3 with lead with 2 runs in the 6th

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:28:30

2022-01-11 18:29:50

2 aboard for the red-hot Ruedos!

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:30:27

walk loads the bases - on to PH - Higino Limpinho who is DTD

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:33:14

Middle of the order does their thing - 3 runs to tie it up, but 8 and 9 in KY order leave 2 men in scoring position with back to back strikeouts.

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:33:38

In a stunning move, Koyama comes back out and promptly allows a leadoff single & SB

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-11 18:34:07

Hopefully Limpinho leaving injured is just is same injury and not anything worse

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:35:19

Good escape job - 1st and 2nd with nobody out, but Koyama works through it. Tied at 6 through 7!

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:37:53

Garnett on to preserve the tie - leadoff single.

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-11 18:39:03

And gives up the lead

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:46:24

Really unfortunate, but maybe I should reconsider his role based on his ratings.

Zach - KY
2022-01-11 18:39:30

3 singles and a sac fly add 2.

Wait now im confused on who's old in this scenario. Chappy for the reference or Jeff for not getting it

Brett- CA Bulldogs

I didn't get the reference. So I think that makes me young

AJCVipers

I think both you and Jeff are too young to win AFBL is the main point 😃

2022-01-12 11:47:24

Never got into Rush but I can appreciate it. I've really loved U2 until the 2000's... I guess All That You Can't Leave Behind was the last of their albums I bought (although I Spotify now so I guess I have access to the newer stuff).

jeff_new_mexico

Yes about the same for me with U2. Early stuff is what I listen to. I don't know too many others that like Rush, same with SB. But I got used to that long ago 🤷‍♂️.

Yes, members of Rush seem to be good guys. Intelligent and articulate with interesting lives. Peart wrote some good books, and Geddy is supposedly working on something. And they are all Canadian lol.

chappy
2022-01-12 12:27:50

The people I know that do like Rush REALLY like Rush. Same with DMB and Springsteen.

Zach - KY
2022-01-12 12:10:18

Ivan Morales is going for KY this game, hopefully he has an ace-worthy performance, but the real story is the Lions offense. It has been hot and cold, we haven’t won the games where the offense doesn’t put up big numbers.

AJCVipers
2022-01-12 12:10:42

Is your series 2-2?

Zach - KY
2022-01-12 12:11:08

Nope they are up 3-1

Zach - KY
2022-01-12 12:12:36

Game 5 we are heading back to Kentucky with Morales on the mound.

Game 6 will be in NC but with John Dupuis on the mound who has been hot for us this playoffs.

If we can get those 2, I may bring Morales back for a short start, and in a game 7, anything can happen.

Zach - KY
2022-01-12 18:24:41

Zach - KY
2022-01-12 21:17:57

Smart move

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-12 21:18:23

Do you think that would accelerate his stamina going down?

Zach - KY

I don’t necessarily think that’s how it works, at least in the game

2022-01-12 21:19:16

Brett- CA Bulldogs

Basically unplayable against lefties. Glad he's had the opportunity to actual play in Arizona. Didn't have a spot for him at the time.

Zach - KY
2022-01-12 21:56:13

I would be interested to do a solo league where everyone is the best possible fielder at each position and see how it would turn out - he'd be a solid OF on that's squad 😂

Zach - KY
2022-01-12 21:56:28

Pacheco with 10 Ks

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-12 21:57:39

Only given up 2 hits. Unfortunate that one of those was a 3 run homer

chappy
2022-01-13 06:59:40

Welp, NC has exported with Choppy & Crews back in the lineup.

Zach - KY
2022-01-13 06:59:56

I’ll get an export together shortly

chappy
2022-01-13 07:00:10

Rookie Cale McClure on the mound on the road. No pressure, kid.

Zach - KY
2022-01-13 07:01:15

For real. I’ve got a tough decision to make too. I think I might try to get two guys together for four and four innings

Zach - KY
2022-01-13 07:01:41

Idk what morales fatigue is

mstreeter06
2022-01-13 07:35:49

Let me know whenever you’re ready @Zach - KY and then we can get started with KY-NC Game 7. @chappy

mstreeter06
2022-01-13 09:55:27

Stepping into meetings but ping me on this account whenever ready and I can jump over to get the game started. Good luck guys!

chappy
2022-01-13 07:47:25

I kind of wonder if this is Choppy's last go round.

chappy
2022-01-13 07:48:18

He's hitting .447 with an OPS of 1.409 this postseason. Leads the team with 5 HR and 13 RBI despite missing 4 starts to injury. He's healthy and back and will need a big game 7 if we will stay alive.

chappy
2022-01-13 07:49:31

His overall contact is down to a 5, and power down to an 8. He's 35... some guys hang around well past that in this league. But even if he doesn't retire he's got to keep his ratings high enough to beat out the other players for playing time.

lt - Idaho
2022-01-13 08:13:56

Now the test for you as a manager - keep accumulating stats or toss his old ass aside. I usually keep my guys in place 1-2 years beyond the expiry date for numbers. lol

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-13 08:51:05

He still produced a .920 OPS and 3.1 WAR regular season. So the ratings seem less important than the actual results

chappy
2022-01-13 07:50:44

I'd say he's a shoe-in for the HOF on the 1st ballot. 12 all-star games, 8 silver sluggers, 2 championships.

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-13 08:54:30

Yea 1st ballot lock. 74.2 career WAR. .930 Career OPS, 570 homers. Somehow only struckout 1263 times in 8558 at bats. Would be nice even if he could produce at the same level he did this year for 1 more year and get to 600 homers

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-13 08:55:25

and possibly 500 steals

chappy
2022-01-13 09:31:04

3,000 hits possible but it would require a couple more years

chappy
2022-01-13 09:31:45

But if he falls to 4 in contact he probably won't make the roster

yuda
2022-01-13 09:47:08

I don't even like rostering 5 contact guys if I can help it

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-13 09:47:40

I'll roster all the 5 contact guys in the league if they're hitting 30 homers and maintaining an OPS over .800 lol

💯 mstreeter06
chappy
2022-01-13 10:28:59

Yeah, choppy has got to be a very high 5. He's also a lefty playing home games in a park that heavily favors lefties.

lt - Idaho
2022-01-13 10:31:25

I'll roster 5 contact if they are great defensively and can back up multiple positions, but I try not to start any. Some years there isn't much choice. lol

chappy
2022-01-13 10:47:20

So this is weird...

chappy
2022-01-13 10:48:17

Choppy Orozco has just a 5 in contact and eye and an 8 in power... I figured his stats (.286/33/82, 31 SB, .926 OPS) might be boosted by being a lefty in a park that favors lefties...

chappy
2022-01-13 10:48:41

But his home line is just .234-15-36 (.785 OPS)

chappy
2022-01-13 10:49:02

While on the road he is hitting .333-18-46 (1.054 OPS)

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-13 10:49:25

That is super weird. I don't think he's done being productive

chappy
2022-01-13 10:49:58

304 hits from 3K

Brett- CA Bulldogs
2022-01-13 10:51:41

That's going to be tough. basically needs 3 more seasons producing at his current level. Espcially as he becomes less and less playable against Lefties.

Zach - KY
2022-01-13 10:54:09

Sorry work was crazy this morning, @mstreeter06 Will you tell me what Morales’s fatigue level is

Zach - KY
2022-01-13 10:54:59

If it is over 50, will you just make sure he starts and then I'm ready to go

Zach - KY
2022-01-13 10:55:34

I guess anybody can check on that probably .

Zach - KY

Nice escape from runners at the corners for Morales in the 3rd. Still scoreless!

chappy
2022-01-13 11:19:02

KY strikes first

chappy
2022-01-13 11:19:13

But the young pitcher McClure recovers nicely

chappy
2022-01-13 11:20:21

NC responds with a 2-base error and a double to knot it up at 1-1

Got Limpin' Ho to fly out

chappy

Gerd couldn't get Gaines to 3rd... 1 down, runner at 2nd

chappy
2022-01-13 11:28:47

Gaines steals 3rd

chappy
2022-01-13 11:29:06

And Flash singles him in.

Zach - KY
2022-01-13 11:30:23

😳

chappy
2022-01-13 11:30:26

NC loads the bases with a couple of singles

chappy
2022-01-13 11:30:38

1 out and the leagues slowest runner at 3rd

chappy
2022-01-13 11:31:13

Crews and Coggins retired... NC down 3-2 still

Zach - KY
2022-01-13 11:31:38

Snuck out of it.

Not sure why McClure is still in in a winner take all game

chappy

4-2 KY as we head to the top of the 6th

Zach - KY
2022-01-13 11:34:47

Just 1!

chappy
2022-01-13 11:37:04

Well I guess Gaines failed to get his 3rd SB of the game

chappy
2022-01-13 11:37:51

McClure still in... we have some pretty good relievers mr manager

Gerd Sas should be leading off... just 9 more outs for each team!

We will kick ourselves for not capitalizing if we can't hold on.

chappy
2022-01-13 11:42:12

That's the problem with Flash

Zach - KY
2022-01-13 11:42:20

10 hits apiece

chappy
2022-01-13 11:42:54

I need at least 2 baserunners next inning to get the top of the order up in the 9th.

chappy
2022-01-13 11:43:05

Brown and Hobbs have been automatic outs recently

3 guys LOB. Choppy though with 5. Either of those guys gets 1 more hit and it could have been different

So as a baseball broadcaster… sometimes when there are boring games you’ve gotta come up with some good content. Here’s my question - in this alternate universe where players have no control over team choice, what is their annual salary? It’s gotta be pretty competitive with the limited mobility they are offered.

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-13 16:14:51

Guess both McCormick and Vance might get starts. Maybe Jeff Todd. We will see.

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-13 16:22:55

Pick a time before free agency and adjust for inflation?

Zach - KY
2022-01-13 16:23:42

Good call. my guess would be between 1 and 1.5 million

Zach - KY
2022-01-13 16:24:17

payrolls around 50 million if you count all the players that appear for each team each year

jeff_new_mexico

My long-time Diamond Mind sim league is seeking 4 owners. Free league, sim once a week, parallel to real-life, with Zips projections, realistic financials and 6 draft picks/yr. Deep league, we've just had trouble finding replacements for short-term owners. The teams aren't in bad shape. Very casual pace.

You can preview the roster here. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IzCOHjdKmj_dZnXS_FhIdkK0JLtgqeVqBrUX-FufA84/edit?usp=sharing
Free Agency begins in March. I am on league committee & will help with setup & familiarity.

(a couple of them had cups of coffee)

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-27 12:42:22

I've got everything except AAA down to 32. AAA needs to be injury reserve for ML so I'll probably keep that up at 35, plus I can't figure out who to cut. Might cut one or two more on each other level.

yuda
2022-01-27 12:44:31

I'm at 31-33-24-29 (soon to be 30)

yuda
2022-01-27 12:44:35

so I really need to fill out A ball

yuda
2022-01-27 12:44:58

but I can pull guys out of the indy leagues who might develop instead of sticking a bunch of 26 year olds there

yuda
2022-01-27 12:45:09

[narrator voice: they didn't develop]

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-27 13:23:04

My minor league philosophy is stay lean, young and build a positive personality web of support. Pretty good about the first two but I'm not as disciplined as I'd like with the personalities. 🤷‍♂️

tjsmith7_georgia
2022-01-27 13:43:47

I try to keep my minors at 25-30 each. Too many and the depth doesn't get any in-game reps. Can't imagine that's good for development. Plus after age 22 or so, there aren't many big popup surprises.

Nick (Alabama)
2022-01-27 13:49:10

I'm slowly cutting the numbers each year so the guys get reps as the talent gets better. Just need these pitchers to develop faster.

yuda
2022-01-27 13:59:33

yeah I just shifted my personal age limites to 22-24-26 (R-A-AA)

yuda
2022-01-27 13:59:45

and if somebody is a real prospect he should be moving up faster than that

yuda
2022-01-27 14:00:21

a lot of my larger rosters in the minors is carrying extra pitchers so nobody ever has to pitch tired (hopefully) and a third catcher

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-27 14:06:07

Got to 30-30-30-35 for opening day. Only one cut I didn't like making but it was time. Can't wait for upcoming draftees to get added haha.

yuda
2022-01-27 14:06:24

I didn't realize until earlier today that our R is full-season

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-27 14:35:53

Anyone go with 6-man rotations in the minors? Or do you stay with 5?

Jason_Mallards
2022-01-27 14:49:25

I do when I have six worthy. It's worked ok in this league but NPBL not so much. I'm gonna have to make another pass of cuts after reading all this. 😂

Nick (Alabama)
2022-01-27 14:55:35

I use 6 at R and A

yuda
2022-01-27 14:59:09

I do 6 when I can

yuda
2022-01-27 14:59:21

and will stick with it absolutely in the low minors

yuda
2022-01-27 14:59:39

I'm actually going to experiment with a 6-man rotation in the bigs this year. kind of.

yuda
2022-01-27 15:00:07

I don't have 5 (or even 4) legit starters. So I've got a 6-man rotation with only like 2 or 3 real starters in it and "allow rotation use in bullpen" checked

yuda
2022-01-27 15:00:15

gonna have a lot of bullpen games basically

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-27 15:03:17

I usually go with six in minors, but then start wondering whether the top five are getting enough time. So I might go to five for a while, but then switch back haha.

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-27 15:05:30

In the majors I try to go with 6-man for a couple of stretches during the season, right before all- star break and in September.

yuda
2022-01-27 15:05:39

I have no idea if this idea will work but I think it's worth an experiment

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-27 15:05:53

Sounds interesting

yuda
2022-01-27 15:05:54

I'm also playing with the batters faced limit

yuda
2022-01-27 15:07:01

this is over in NPBL but this guy facing no more than 18 batters in a game has really worked https://statsplus.net/npbl/reports/news/html/players/player_15775.html

yuda
2022-01-27 15:07:09

(not doing the bullpen games thing though; he's just the 5th starter)

yuda
2022-01-27 15:09:38

I really did not find openers and followers worked very well. This probably won't either but we'll see

yuda
2022-01-27 15:10:09

having the "opener" go more like 3-4 innings than 1-2 seems to me it may work better

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-27 15:10:36

I'm going with a batter’s faced limit with stopper Jeff Todd this year. I'm not comfortable with the innings he piled up out of the pen last year. He was great but he threw a lot. Just experimenting to see how many pitches he gets with different BF numbers.

yuda
2022-01-27 15:11:58

see I feel like ~150 innings out of the pen is the dream

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-27 15:19:48

He's your dream come true then haha. I think he got close to 170. Just not sure how the arm stress is measured for relievers. The starters have the PAP numbers which l read are used in ootp. Not sure if true. But who knows with relievers.

yuda
2022-01-27 15:23:17

I'm sure it's a total coincidence that Dan Harris blew his elbow out the spring after throwing 154 innings https://www.afblbaseball.com/reports/news/html/players/player_5559.html

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-27 15:28:46

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. Todd will definitely be limited this year 😬

yuda
2022-01-27 15:29:57

I've had guys throw that much and be fine

yuda
2022-01-27 15:30:03

so it's probably player by player

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-27 15:37:45

Probably. No need to take chances with him though.

jeff_new_mexico
2022-01-27 15:38:54

Not like I don't have other guys in the pen. Not as good, but good enough hopefully.

Do players in the major train? I know in my other leagues, training doesn't happen at the MLB level but wasn't sure with this one.

jeff_new_mexico
2022-02-15 13:12:13

Are you talking about development?

if so….” Minor league players who get little playing time might not develop as quickly as others. However, major league players and players on a reserve roster develop normally even without playing time.” - From the manual

Nick (Alabama)
2022-02-15 13:18:05

Yes, but I'm talking development at the position specifically and I haven't seen players improve there unless they get playing time. And the other leagues I'm in don't have positional development turned on at the MLB level. I think this is an option you can have on/off, so wondering if it was on as I do see some guys bringing up prospects well before they're fully trained at their ideal position.

yuda
2022-02-15 13:18:45

oh -- yeah, that's got to come from playing time

yuda
2022-02-15 13:19:07

play them there in spring training to really have it go fast, or the minor leagues

Nick (Alabama)
2022-02-15 13:21:07

I got that, just trying to understand if they can gain skill at a position during the season in the majors. I haven't been aggressive moving prospects up because of position skill but noticed when looking at a few other teams, that they've got guys with little skill at a position already called up because their bat has developed.

yuda
2022-02-15 13:21:46

only if they play

yuda
2022-02-15 13:22:13

if I have a player with poor position ratings, I won't call him up to sit the bench in most cases

but if he's gonna play, fine

Nick (Alabama)
2022-02-15 13:26:06

Apologies, not sure if you're answering me because I'm slow today. I'm asking if this dude below will see his positional skills improve with time at the MLB level or will that only happen in the minors or during spring training (which is what happens in my other online leagues).

yuda
2022-02-15 13:26:20

it will happen in the majors if he plays

yuda
2022-02-15 13:26:26

2022-02-25 13:50:44

I think for me, Roger Peck is my favorite Lion. Despite his personality flaws, I could always count on him to have a big year. It was fun to imagine him holding down the hot corner for almost 2 decades. 481 career bombs and 714 steals, with a positive defensive value in over 13,000 innings at third!

🦁 Zach - KY

2022-02-25 13:55:23

The other one is a bit harder, but I've always been fond of Washington catcher Kieran Wynn. With a name like that you’re bound to be on the right side of victory! A consistent competitor at the plate, he was good for about 30 homers per year in his prime, and it was a loooong prime! Looks like he just got released after a productive career!

lt - Idaho
2022-02-25 13:58:48

Fun question.
For me I have a couple of my own favorites.

  1. Loren Dobson - 2B/SS. Idaho's first superstar. He should be in the HOF but I mismanaged him defensively. He also could have stolen a lot more than 479 bases, but I did not have his sliders set right. His 41HR 148 RBI 59 SB season is an all time great and even though injuries hampered the later years of his career he was an amazing offensive talent.

  2. Raul Silva - acquired in a trade with Colorado SIlva was a true 40-40 threat, and for half his career a solid catcher. He retired 31 home runs short of 500 and with 697 stolen bases.

lt - Idaho
2022-02-25 14:00:05

Looks like our last playoff series was in 2047. You beat us 4-3 in the wild card round and went on to win the cup. Seems like that was the year all the wild card winners went up 3-0, four of them turned into sweeps but the Danger managed to win three before losing in game 7.

lt - Idaho
2022-04-01 21:05:19

Anyone have a good definition for dynasty in ootp? I would say at least 3 championships in a 5-year period. The only team to have done it so far is Idaho, 3 in four years, 2038-2041. NY has a chance this year and next.

If it's 3 in 6 years Colorado would be added (3 Championships from 2016-2021). NM would have a chance this year and NY would have three chances to complete it.

yuda
2022-04-04 11:54:43

I think it depends what the team did in the non-championship seasons

yuda
2022-04-04 11:55:03

like 3 in 6 is maybe less compelling if they missed the playoffs the other three years. Vs. going to at least the LCS every time or something.

I think this is where we were in ‘52, Georgia up 4-2, before we came back with three straight to win it. We came back last series against Idaho. We'll see if our comeback luck is all used up.

I'm thinking yes 🤓

Ditto here. Went from Champs last season to current worst record. Eric Steele status is now the dreaded "unknown recovery". With basically a half dead season done, I've been effectively eliminated from playoffs. No idea why the bomb from existing players, and no plan to fix. Though I do have plenty of swappable parts to throw around. Makes the future really cloudy.

Just noticed Reuben Franco (115 SB) is 7 SB behind behind Tony Benavides 2055 season record of 122 with eight games to go. In 2056 Franco ended up with 116 for third place all-time.

Franco is tied for 20th on the career list with 619. Might make top five before he is done. I kind of regret not starting him earlier.

NJ follows up the 3-0 sweep of NJ by doing the same to Georgie, outscoring them 15 runs to 1, for a 6-0 start 30 runs to 4... wow... but we come back down to earth going 1-2 in the 3 game set against division rivals Ontario, being shut out in the 2 losses and scraping a 2-1 win in game 3 on just 3 hits, we'll call it efficiency, others might call it luck 😄

no stars with the bat this week, and the star was an unlikely one... he was in the pen for the opening series against NY, but never got to the mound and the genius GM decided to elevate him to the rotation against GA and he went 8.2 innings giving up just 3 hits and 1 walk, step forward Ian Cranton.

In NJ debut watch, Leo Bray, fresh from his trade with AZ, couldn't put up a W, going down 0-4 to ON. He did pitch all 9 innings though and didn't really get shelled, giving up just 5 hits and not walking any

As long as the batting ratings are OK, I’m totally fine just letting them develop their defense at the big league level.

I think the only way it would “ruin” them is if they wanted to play the majors and their personality made them angry

How many games or at bats until you lose your rookie status?

AFBL Commish
2022-08-25 18:00:26

Not certain but quick google on OOTP boards

In real life, if a player has >130 AB, >50 IP, or >45 service days (excluding service days gained after roster expansion), they have exhausted their rookie status.

Not sure how OOTP handles the last of those, because they don't track rookie eligibility in service days.
So probably similar?

This has been another solid, progressive season. 22-year old rookie Brett Henrich went from A ball to the majors this year and has 186 hits (including 10 triples!) and a .326 BA in 141 games. Off-season trade evaluations are 50/50 but did sure up the defense. C Antonio Alomar better than expected, Jim Szczepanski bringing the power I needed, and SS Juan Moya (who lost the starting job to Mike Daniels) and SP Jose Rosen not as good with Rosen now in the pen.

Zach - KY

Great all around performance in the series opener on the road. Some highlights:

-Klaus van Straaten returns from the IL after missing the first round with a 4-6 performance, driving in 2.

-Trade pickups, Eric Steele 3-5 with 2 2B, drives in 4, and Luppe Mathijssen 3-5 with a double

-Bryan Grove LHRP is added to the roster for this series and pitches 2.2 scoreless to help seal the victory.

Zach - KY

Don’t know how many pitches Arvelos the ace had to throw, but got pulled after 4 innings to save some arm. Important with his 5 stamina rating.

At the moment, Anastasio Lopez first in FL in HRs, RBI and Avg. Ruben Franco making another run at the single season SB record. Probably not close enough but he's racking up spots in the top ten. 2nd, 4th and 5th and 13th (this season so far).

California up 3 games over Idaho. But ends the season on the road against Idaho. California has struggled on the road (40-38) and even more against Idaho (4-11).

Can the Bulldogs avoid the sweep and hold onto the division? We shall see..

Yeah awesome! Cisco Martinez part of both teams, he had a crazy good year. Probably wouldn’t have traded had I known that. Part of that deal, Mario Quintana, had a nice rookie full season going 12-4. Gary Lopez the 1st round pick from that deal has been a key part of the bullpen

If we get really lucky and win the division we’d play Illinois instead of Idaho. We’d have to win four straight and MN lose four straight. They’ve got TX and we have OH.

2023-03-23 11:24:12

There are only 3 games left. And MN holds the tiebreaker having beat NM 12-6 during the season.

DID YOU KNOW: Maryland's Leo Ward threw a perfect game against the Kentucky Lions on 7/22/55, and then a no-hitter against the Lions on 10/13/57! The 37-year old three-time All-Star is at AAA Annapolis after losing the entire 2061 season with a torn flexor tendon. This may be his last year in pro baseball.

Every single matchup was won by just 1 home run!

This makes sense as everyone who went second just stopped when they reached the winning score, Steve Miller Jr. was the only one to break that trend, in the second round.

I might need a refresher on how to do the switch into 24 with the new file once it’s ready.

AFBL Commish
2023-07-14 08:53:49

Believe there are three paths GMs can take:

  1. Do the same import process of the league file on their own computer, upgrading from previous version to latest

  2. After the new file is uploaded, the GM can download the new league file zip from the league export page, unzip it in a new .lg folder in the latest version savedgames folder, then create a settings folder in the new .lg folder, and put the accountsdatagms.dat file into settings.

  3. Create and send out quick start code to each GM who wants one. Note that even in OOTP24, quick start codes sometimes over-write settings in other OOTP leagues the user is in and cause some pain. They work most of the time, but not always.


Not sure any of the options are better/easier than the other. I'm used to option 2 but have done option 1 before too.

If you have 23, you could try the upgrade to 23 and then to 24 path. But you can do option 2 now that the new file is uploaded to StatsPlus. I can link to that in a moment in the Export Tracker. I've only tried quick codes like twice so not sure on that.

Qi-Chao Situ, now 35, enters the season at 479 homeruns. The question becomes can he stay healthy enough to reach 500 this year. He’s declined in recent years but still very strong against RHP. He’ll look to rebound after an injured and down 2062 as he winds down the end of what will hopefully be a HOF career.

I'm stuck without a game license after my laptop had to be replaced. If someone has a license to share, that would be great. If somebody wants to give me an honest opinion on who I should draft at 1.1, I could get the draft moving. Failing both of those, I'll have to buy another license tonight. I have emailed OOTP support asking to have my counter reset but haven't heard back from them. Thanks - Larry.

I'm not sure there is a definite 1-1 guy. I'm here at #4 and not sure who I'd take. The top SP only has 2 pitches. The 3 star guys look pretty similar. Hitting is deep. There are a lot of really sweet looking international prospects. Those guys generally have poor defense ratings at that age. A couple of college SS look good. So probably the up the middle choices are your pick - 2B, SS, CF

In a dominant outing, Edgardo Pacheco of the Alabama Yellowhammers totally silenced the bats of the Texas Outlaws, finishing with a no-hitter.

In the Yellowhammers’ 2-0 victory, Pacheco faced only 29 batters, surrendered no hits, had 12 strikeouts and 1 walk.

“Honestly, I didn’t even know the situation was what it was until the seventh inning,” Alabama manager Liam Maroney said. “I happened to look up there to see how many hits we had gotten, and I happened to notice that they hadn’t gotten any.”

Commenting on the defeat, losing manager Andrew Cole had a “pretty simple” analysis of the game.

“The Yellowhammers had all the hits and all the runs, so they won,” he snapped. “But yeah, Pacheco pitched a heck of a ballgame.”

I think @Larry_Washington is well on track to become a powerhouse again like he was when I first joined the league. Led by 21 year old rookie Joel Vacio, the 2063 1:1 draft pick. He's playing elite 2B defense, has produced 5.0 WAR on the season already. 18 homeruns, 13 stolen bases, and .900 OPS.

This is after combining for 6.0 WAR across 93 career games last season. Inclduing 43 homeruns in 63 Rookie league games.

I'm not sure i've seen a 1:1 have such a massive impact so quickly.

The Kentucky Lions and IF Cisco Martinez are mutually parting ways. The 37 year old spent the bulk of his career playing SS and moved around the diamond in his last few seasons.

He played the first half of his career in New Mexico and was traded in the 2056 offseason to Kentucky for where he played 8 seasons.

As it stands, Martinez has 2100 career hits, 490 HRs, and has amassed 58.1 career WAR.

He is a highly-decorated player, winning 3 Federation Cups in addition to numerous personal awards. He’s a 9 time All-Star, 7 time Silver Slugger, 4 time Gold Glover, and won 2 playoff series MVPs.

Cisco is highly regarded for his leadership as a captain of the clubhouse, and the Lions applaud him for his service in the AFBL!

Is there something specific at the end of the month that causes the game to hang? @AFBL Commish

mstreeter06
2024-06-20 07:08:33

I couldn't get remoted back onto my laptop last night as part of it sorry. But also, not really sure either. I've tried to assign myself to "No Team" during the sim to see if that prevents it but hasn't. It will sometimes hang at end of month but sometimes randomly, seemingly just for AFBL too. Frustrating.

Good reminder. I'll work on getting that setup tonight (worst case tomorrow).

Richard Hager

Sorry been a little out of the loop. Are we switching to ootp25?

AFBL Commish
2024-08-08 20:30:48

I think the usual gameplan is to do every other version which would lead us to be skipping 25. However I'm fine either way myself as I have 25 for another league.

Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions either way?

AC - Texas
2024-08-08 20:34:25

I’m good either way, I have 25 as well.

Zach - KY
2024-08-11 17:59:46

Would we take advantage of the development lab in the off-season? Or the development influence?

AFBL Commish
2024-08-11 18:00:55

What is that exactly again?

Zach - KY
2024-08-11 19:06:48

In 25, there’s a new feature where you can ask a player to focus on certain skills to develop

Zach - KY
2024-08-11 19:07:06

You also get six slots in the off-season to really focus on a development trait

jeff_new_mexico
2024-08-11 20:19:14

I don’t have 25 yet, do you need to have coaching turned on to use the developmental features?

will that use my original export Sunday or the new one today ? I'd prefer the original.

mstreeter06
2024-08-14 11:47:54

I blocked out time this afternoon to look into this. If I can just roll back and grab exports that are uploaded the S+ servers I'll do that but I'd say if you exported over ST1 with ST2, we might need to have me roll back and then upload a new ST1 file for everyone to redownload.

Apologies about this guys. Ugh.

Quick note for the league:
I've been trying to locate and move out of limbo the roster violation missing players from the commish report. These are likely IAFA draftees but also could be minor leaguers that have reached a roster size/age limit but the next level of minors is full thus putting the player in limbo land.

Just something to keep an eye out for from your GM pov. Keeping your minor league levels in order will help with this too. I will also do a better job of helping ensure IAFA draftees don't fall in the cracks in the future as well.

With mixed emotions, the California Bulldogs announced the retirement of Qi-chao Situ, and the retiring of his number 12. He finishes his career with 514 homeruns, 2680 hits, a career .301 batting average, and 70.1 WAR. Although his best days were early in his career in New York, Situ enjoyed parts of 13 seasons in California. He is 2nd in franchise history for homeruns, 4th in hits, 2nd in RBI's and among the top 10 in nearly every offensive category. He was a versatile player who logged games at 5 positions, mainly CF, RF, and 1B. He was an 8 time all-star, 2 time MVP, and 6 time silver slugger. We wish him well in his retirement.

Getting GMs Set Up
GMs can get to the latest version several different ways:

  1. Do the same import process of the league file on their own computer, upgrading from previous version to latest

  2. After the new file is uploaded, the GM can download the new league file zip from the league export page, unzip it in a new .lg folder in the latest version savedgames folder, then create a settings folder in the new .lg folder, and put the accountsdatagms.dat file into settings.

  3. Create and send out quick start code to each GM who wants one. Note that even in OOTP24, quick start codes sometimes over-write settings in other OOTP leagues the user is in and cause some pain. They work most of the time, but not always.


Route 1 is going to be the easiest but if you need to do Route 2, I'll have the Downloads folder later today that's located here: https://www.matthewrstreeter.com/ootp/afbl/downloads/

tjsmith7_georgia
2025-01-30 17:27:36

Would having a week (4 sims) of Offseason/Preseason sims for the Dev Lab work for everyone? I actually don't have any experience with this new feature so want to poll the league. If we do 4 sims of a month each in the game doing like the 15th of the month to the next 15th? This would potentially look like:

Offseason Sim 1: Nov 15 - Dec 15
Offseason Sim 2: Dec 15 - Jan 15
Offseason Sim 3: Jan 15 - Feb 15
Offseason Sim 4: Feb 15 - start of Spring Training (only like 2 weeks, usually beginning of March)

Maybe do 3 week stretches? Totally open to getting this setup the best way for us.

I just realized the problem. I had an issue with my other league where I had to clear the importexport folder each sim, because the game would not overwrite the files. Seems like a permissions issue, but I've never figured out why. -- So I deleted the .zip in that folder and download worked perfect. I'll just have to remember to manually clear that each time I download.

I saw that when I looked for my Colorado team. I'm wondering how to prevent this in the future. I thought Development Lab opens on Day 1 of Offseason start but maybe we need to wait on the day before?

I'm not opposed to a 1 day sim on maybe Monday to check on this?

jeff_new_mexico

Maybe shorten spring training by a day and start it one day later (so we don’t mess up rest of schedule). Might be something to run a test on before next year.

AFBL Wildcard Series Preview: Kentucky Lions vs. North Carolina Aviators

The road to the Federation Cup begins here. The PL South rivals clash in a best-of-seven Wildcard Series, with the Kentucky Lions looking to turn a 92-win season into a deep October run, and the North Carolina Aviators aiming to ride their power bats to an upset.

North Carolina won the season series 11–7, fueled by an offense that scored 950 runs and features sluggers Richard Alvarado (41 HR, 124 RBI) and Maresuke Kosaka (117 RBI). Kentucky counters with a balanced lineup led by Brodie Shanahan (.305, 95 RBI) and Chris Bermudez (.289, 84 RBI), plus the league’s 3rd-best bullpen ERA.

Game 1 belongs to the legend — 37-year-old Raul Arvelos (12–9, 4.30 ERA), 3rd all-time in AFBL pitcher value, facing NC’s Adam Capehart (12–8, 4.85 ERA). For the Lions, the formula is simple: protect home field, keep NC’s bats in the park, and let the bullpen slam the door.

The stakes are set. The rivalry’s renewed. First pitch — tomorrow night in Kentucky.

At just 21, Keith Newsom lit up the AFBL:
⚾ .285 AVG | 35 HR | 89 RBI
⚾ 7.1 WAR in Year 1
⚾ Sharp defense at 2B
The Minnesota Mallards have found their franchise cornerstone — and maybe the 2070 MVP 🏆

🦁 Lions Walk It Off in Wildcard Opener

Kentucky opened the 2070 postseason with a roar, storming back from a 5–1 deficit to stun the North Carolina Aviators 6–5 on Jose Jaramillo’s walk-off single in the bottom of the 9th.

North Carolina controlled much of the afternoon, jumping ahead early on Jonathan Weber’s triple in the first and solo homer in the third. By the 8th inning, the Aviators held a four-run cushion — but the Lions weren’t done.

Alex Mata, who battled through offensive struggles all year, sparked the rally with a leadoff single in the 8th. Francisco Baez followed with another hit, and a NC error loaded the bases. Brodie Shanahan’s RBI single got Kentucky on the board, and pinch-hitter Andrei Irimescu’s two-run knock brought the Lions within one.

In the 9th, Luppe Mathijssen’s leadoff single and a wild pitch set the stage for Mata, who ripped a game-tying RBI double into the gap. After a strikeout, Jaramillo stepped up and lined the first pitch he liked into left, sending Mathijssen home and 58,851 fans into a frenzy.

Key Performers:

  • Alex Mata (KY) – 3-for-4, 2B, RBI, run scored

  • Klaus van Straaten (KY) – 2-for-3, HR, 2B, RBI

  • Jonathan Weber (NC) – 4-for-5, HR, 3B, 2 RBI


Series: Kentucky leads 1–0. Game 2 is tomorrow at Lions Stadium.

Kentucky Win Evens Series at 3
The Kentucky Lions and the North Carolina Aviators will take the Wildcard Series to a decisive 7th game. In a must-win situation, the Lions beat the Aviators, 9-6, at Lowe's Field at Bojangles' Stadium to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Kentucky right fielder Ryan St. John was 5-5 with a triple and 3 doubles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2.

A key moment came with no one out in the top of the third. That's when St. John hit a fastball from Angelo Posadas for a run-scoring triple, putting Kentucky up, 2-0.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said St. John. "And not try to do too much."

The next game is set to be played for Sunday, October 26th , 2070 at Lions Stadium in Lexington.

A new StatsPlus feature rolled out today:

Another requested feature rolled out this morning, a "Counter" option for trade offers from another GM.  This feature is live for everyone, but it's possible there will be 1-2 small bugs to sort out, I'll be watching closely for issues.

Choosing counter-offer will take the GM back to the "Propose" tab, with the players/picks/cash in the trade pre-populated. If the GM proceeds to send a new trade offer promptly from the Propose tab, the new offer will be sent as a counter-offer, and the original trade offer will be automatically declined and removed from the list of pending trades.

My choice to delete the original offers is purposeful, to prevent old offers from sticking around. Also, it would be significant added work to try and track the sequence of offers and counter-offers, so there is no history related to this. If you make a counter-offer, the original offer essentially disappears except for the original message sent in Slack/Discord.

The wiki page about the trade tool was updated to reflect the new feature, see https://wiki.statsplus.net/en/web-tools/trade-tool

Screenshot of where the Counter button lives is below.

Dave from StatsPlus posted this today

Some more new pages on S+ this morning, started adding some Team History pages.  A few are reproductions of pages from the OOTP HTML history pages, with some S+ enhancements.

There are three new pages - Record (team record by year), Batters By Year and Pitchers by Year. For the Batters and Pitchers page, can click the small ? icon in the upper left of the table for more information. Hover on player names to get quick info, or click in the empty space by a player name to highlight that player on the whole table.

The leaderboard links go to the existing Historical Leaderboard pages, but with the options already selected for the team to make it much quicker to get to the data.

@Zach - KY I can look into if it is possible still too but if not, non-Steam users can install their OOTP25 copy on two systems. Maybe we can have someone share their other install?

Does anyone have a non-Steam version of OOTP25 and have only installed it on 1 system? If so, would you mind sharing the 2nd install for a potential new member?

Apparently you're not able to purchase OOTP25 any more..

~~

The other alternative is to try updating to OOTP26 to see if that helps fill our vacancies.

I just know we need to find 2 new members in my opinion at the minimum.

I'm just not super confident in finding 4 new members quickly (let alone over a season) and still be in this same spot next offseason. I'd prefer to eliminate having multiple vacant (CPU adjusted each sim by myself) teams for myself and the rest of the league.

Definitely send folks my way if you have anyone that would be interested. Thanks guys!

Don’t have it but not opposed. I’m not optimistic we can fill 4 teams. I feel like contraction of some kind is still needed.

That's honestly where I think it makes the most sense but want to make sure we do our due diligence.

I’m open to contraction and upgrading as well, unless we can find a license for my buddy Ryan

AFBL Commish
2025-09-18 18:50:56

I worry about both changes (reducing teams and upgrading OOTP) in the same offseason but that just might being overly cautious too

AFBL Commish
2025-09-18 18:54:33

If that is a concern, we could do the OOTP upgrade this offseason and then re-assess the league total teams during the season before deciding completely after the 2071 season.

AFBL Commish
2025-09-18 18:55:00

We've just had 2+ vacancies for multiple seasons now and 2-4 vacancies in a 20 team league isn't ideal

**well the multiple vacancies for multiple seasons is in NPBL but we're in that boat here now too

Planned changes for the upcoming 2071 season:

  • Richard takes over Washington Resonance and they will become the Washington Reign

  • Steven takes over New York Empire

  • Alex takes over New Mexico Danger

  • Oregon Explorers open their new stadium the Nokia Dome

  • AFBL vacant teams (Alabama Yellowhammers, Arizona Vipers, Illinois Warhawks, Ontario Blue Pirates) will be scheduled to be relegated to the United Baseball League (UBL) on the first day of Preseason in-game

  • AFBL will hold a Free Agent Draft to disperse players among rest of teams on the first the first day of Preseason in-game

  • AFBL decision needed on❓: 1) keep two divisions of four teams in each league? 2) keep playoff setup as is?

  • UBL will likely expand playoff field by two teams and keep single division in each league with division winner earning first round bye


Game plan would be to begin the FA Draft and start on the Offseason Sims this coming week so we start moving forward after our pause. Also plan on OOTP26 for 2072 so watch out for the next sale if you don't own a copy yet (if needed, the non-Steam version can be installed on two systems). Thanks guys!

I failed to create/assign CPU GMs for Illinois and Arizona for this sim. These two teams made two trades with each other this sim haha. I left the trades as they were since it won't matter but funny regardless. I've assigned CPU GMs to them as of now 😄.

For the FA Draft, I think we did a serpentine order for the last Contraction event in NPBL. Is that the best method or is a straight draft better? I can see either option.

AFBL Commish
2025-10-02 18:23:23

But I think serpentine makes the most sense and is the most fair for this

AFBL Commish
2025-10-02 18:26:21

I believe NPBL we did 8-10 rounds last time with the undrafted players going back into FA pool

AFBL Commish
2025-10-02 18:45:01

I'm going to plan on serpentine order and 10 rounds unless there's any objections
