heh, and my 'set post season staff' consists all of changing to a 4-man rotation, so the 5th starter can get some use in the bullpen (otherwise he's a wasted spot that never gets used in the post season, cause it never reaches the 5th starter in a 'start highest rested' setting)

Stanley Kuppchaser · 08-30-2020, 01:31 PM

To be honest, I have my rotation set to strict 5-man, and I just leave it. The lack of responsiveness of the AI to directions (actually suggestions, it seems), got too frustrating, so I just let the team go. Fifteen years of play by mail strat, where the opposing managers followed written directions, spoiled me and the sliders seem too gimmicky, and don't work well. So I just ignore the games, unless they're against OL teams, although, even then, I don't bother messing with things.

Silver playoff update:

K-Town goes to extras to win the wild card in 11 innings, setting up a possible all OL ALCS

looks like Terra Incognita, Waffletown and K-Town will all advance to Gold tier next season.

Ugh. That gagging sound is the Rams choking with the Rustlers' ropes around their necks. Not only did the Rams drop five of nine, they were swept in the season-ending 3-game series, which Ring Road entered with a 1 game lead.

So...either a choke, or a great comeback by Terra Incognita, depending on your perspective. (However, the offseason will be spent learning the baseball equivalent of the Heimlich maneuver in Ring Road.)

I guess "Arrghh!" has more than one meaning in pirate talk, matey.

Agree 100%. The game doesn't come down to the pitcher vs. hitter like Strat or APBA. This game engine is fantastic for the main game but not for PT. No player should bat .360 vs. the level of pitching and in most teams cases, defense in gold and diamond level.

Stanley Kuppchaser · 08-30-2020, 04:57 PM

Hoping someone will step up and provide standings for diamond, the last crown left to award. Even screenshots of the team vs. team for OL teams would work. Thanks.

Hooterville's big acquisition of Willie Mays was not enough to save the sinking Haymaker's season.

Mays started off red-hot batting a .446 AVG after his first two games and then the wheels quickly fell off the playoff wagon and a big cold spell fell upon him and most of the team.

All hope of a strong playoff run disappeared and Hooterville finished with a dismal 77-85 record, in forth place in their division.

When asked about any big plans for the Haymakers, during the off season, Vice President of Team Operations, Eustace Haney said that Hooterville had no such plans and was planning on going with whoever, they already currently have.

Asylum's Sid Fernandez blew a two-run lead in the 9th and the Keepers went on to lose game seven at home in extra frames. The Norwood Diamonders, gold crown winners, are facing off in a seventh game showdown. Update: Norwood lost.

There are no OL teams left in the post season in PT in iron, bronze, or silver, gold, or diamond. In R229, the Death Valley Devils hold a 2-1 lead in the world series, so there is hope they can earn a PT badge in their inaugural season. Good luck.

I won my rookie league!

It wasn't too difficult; my guess is that most of the league was zombie/abandoned teams. Hopefully, there will be an -OL team with me in Stone next week.

Stanley Kuppchaser · 08-30-2020, 07:09 PM

Congratulations!

Stanley Kuppchaser · 08-30-2020, 08:12 PM

Not sure if we're going to get anything from diamond. I fear we may actually lose standings for the first time in the three-year run of OL. By the way, I picked out the picture before I began to think we'd not get diamond, but the fellows' expressions seem appropriate to the unfortunate situation.

Make sure your friends list is up to date and submitted.

Dragones-OL will be there with you next week. We won Stone Series last week and were consistently mistreated, abused, and manhandled by all the Iron competition this week.

Shinbone 17-13 .567
Kansas 18-15 .545
Palolo 13-12 .520
Hidden Valley 15-16 .483

Thanks for coming through omgpuppies. Let's have another good week next week.

Edster007 · 08-31-2020, 07:53 AM

Four teams paired off into two divisions in the NC and one team in each of the NC Central and West. Hopefully they will get some inter league play.

Stanley-I only have six teams to track, I can do go Gold as well if you'd like a break. You carry a heavy load for all of us. Just let me know and I will jump in this week and do two-entirely up to you.

stl jason · 08-31-2020, 08:08 AM

Looks like SIlver turned out a bit wonky with Hartford/Ring Road in Silver 300; and Bevo Mill/Shangri-La in Silver 254.... check those friends lists and make sure everyone in and around your tier is included.

Everyone else seems to be in the same league for the other tiers.
