Opening Day comes around, slowly we get into the battle of the marathon season and the dog days of summer. As we try to keep up with game summaries, use this thread and coming threads to create small talk and the chatter inside the clubhouse of your great day at the plate, on the hill or in the field. Or come and talk about the frustration and hard times of being a big league ball player.
The Astros have played 10 games of the young season and they find themselves in familiar waters, sitting at 2-8. Houston took an opening series win from the Angels then proceeded to lose the 4 game series. They would rebound by with a win against the Blue Jays to start a 3 games series. The Stros would lead 4-0 deep into game 2 but Toronto rallied and ultimately won on a walk-off double, and they would drop the last game of the rubber match. Houston would finish off the 10 game stretch with a sweep handed by the Royals to put their losing streak at 5. "We wanted to get off to a fast start, knowing we need as many user victories we could tally. As soon as the sims begin, we will fall further behind. From this stretch forward we have to play some good ball, and close or back to .500 before April ends."
Has anyone checked the standings lately? I think I saw the Padres were 9-0. I gave them 3 of those wins
My main annoyance is how long it takes for rosters and stuff to load. If you click a player's player card or try to view the trade block, it can take up to 5 minutes for it to load.
Will there be any game content going on up on tso? Like standings, stats, league leaders, awards, discussions? Or some tables of users with their teams and contact information. Maybe something at the end of each advance for teams to talk about their progress, news, ect.
I was thinking about doing something like that, but didn't get on at all last night. I have a couple ideas for league content, might try and put something together tomorrow sometime.
Are injuries on ? So far in my 19 or so games I have seen the pitchers take at least 7 line drives off various body parts and not a single pitcher has come out of the game. Also , Carlos Santana sucks
I am not sure that will directly resolve what I have seen with pitchers taking line shots off their chests , maybe wait to see if the teams get ravaged by injury during the sim ? Either way having lots of fun, just not sure I will ever hit over .240 as a team, not sure how Frisk is hitting like .293 lol
Me either lol. Frisk is just good at the Show. It's been this way for the last 3 years. He is ranked pretty high in Diamond Dynasty - like top 5.
I did promise the CY Young with this guy, and thus far he's 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA and 16 K's. Take a bow Jeff Francis. Might be the steal of the year from the Reds. Also Jaime Garcia was 3-2 with a 1.53 ERA prior to his start against the Rays, picked him up from free agency. Hitting wise Tex & Sori have carried the team on the back combining for 15 HR's and 41 RBI's. Beltran is batting a cool .305 with 2 HR and 22 RBI.
Astros struggle in April to the tune of a 11-17 record. Robbie Grossman led us in average .281. Matt Dominguez with 7 HRs Jason Castro 17 RBI Jared Cosart 3.91 ERA and 40 Ks
