I know the format of the league screws with the game for those predictions. Example: It has Pedro Martinez and forecast for 17 games. It also has Scherzer listed as one of the top 10 projected pitchers with just 6 games played and a predicted ERA of 5.14.

[EagleFan]

The first week will be simmed on Thursday 8/29. Will fill in more of the schedule prior to that.

Note to All Teams Please have your lineups in by 6:00 PM EST on 8/29 for those games. You can PM them to me.

[bhlloy]

Hey EF, for those of us with the game will you be releasing a file that we can use to see our team and help set up our lineups/follow the league as it goes along?

[spleen1015]

Should we just PM you lineups, etc?

[DavidCorperial]

Can we also just get pm'd the star ratings so we know how they look in game?

[thehitcat]

Can we also just get pm'd the star ratings so we know how they look in game?


Forget PM'ing them I'd love to see the star ratings for each player perhaps alongside their draft position? I can only imagine mine go miniscule in the middle rounds and then buff back out again late (or never :) )

:popcorn:

[tarcone]

Can we also just get pm'd the star ratings so we know how they look in game?

Yes, please.

And is there a format you want the lineup in? Do you want R/L splits or just a batting order and defensive set up.

[EagleFan]

Posted stars with the rosters in this thread. The stars are relative to all players in the league and it looks like it downplays relievers.

Not going to post the league file. Want to keep competition as even as possible so everyone has the same chance.

For lineups. As much detail as you would like, if you want to designate depth chart as well that would be fine. For pitchers you can give me stater one, starter two and then what reliever assignments you have (LR, MR, SU, CL).

[EagleFan]

You can give me right/left or just one generic lineup. Whichever you feel comfortable with.

[yeah826]

I am so glad I chose Jacob Degrom lol but 0.5 Cy Young wow.

[tarcone]

PLAY BALL!!!!

[bhlloy]

I am so glad I chose Jacob Degrom lol but 0.5 Cy Young wow.

I can only assume he's horrendously nerfed because he averaged less than a strikeout every three innings and a K/BB of around 1.4, but come on. He managed to keep a WHIP around 1 over 453 innings and 48 complete games and it's in the top 20 all-time in single season WAR FFS.

[bhlloy]

DOLA - any chance of a screenshot, even if you PM it to me?

[cmgdodgers]

My experience stars alone don’t determine performance. It’d be interesting to see ratings at some point.

[EagleFan]

I also wouldn't be hung up on the stars. I don't know how the game determines them overall.

[EagleFan]

Started to enter lineups but have to go deal with some teen drama. My youngest daughter's friend ran away so I am going to go join the search.

[spleen1015]

Any chance I can see game ratings so that I can make my lineups?

Maybe you can export ratings into CSV and attach it to a post here?

[EagleFan]

Trying to keep it about the players, not turn it into just another OOTP league. :)

[Vince, Pt. II]

I am honestly super intrigued by this management style. An actual league where you had to GM blind - no ratings whatsoever but just worked off of statistics - would be weird as hell. And maybe amazing.

This is awesome, thanks for running it!

[tarcone]

The big bats from Big Inning speak loudly. Wheres the pitching?

Are Canton and Indianapolis playing Slow pitch?

[Vince, Pt. II]

The preseason predictions are hilarious in that they exactly mirror the standings after the first week.

[cmgdodgers]

Any way to see box scores?

[Vince, Pt. II]

[yeah826]

I drafted for defense but it looks like I have a high powered offense lol.

[EagleFan]

I'm looking for an easy site to post the data to so I can link to it here.

It's a bit crazy at the moment, hopefully I can settle into s oattern.

My mom is in the ER, I'll be going to see her shortly. We still have the friend drama going on. My daughter's friend stayed at our house last night. The more I piece together, the more i think her mother just might be insane.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Sounds like you have your hands full. Hope your mom is ok!

[EagleFan]

Thank you. Okay, my daughter and her friend ended up staying over another friend's house so that cuts down on some of this. My mom has been admitted and they are still doing tests.

She is having some mild dementia from a UTI (I know that seems like an off combination but this has happened before). The nurse was treating it like we had no idea what we were talking about when we told her this is what is doing it. When she is okay she may have a few minor memory issues but nothing like what happens when she gets a UTI and is admitted to the hospital. She sort of lives in her own reality when that is going on; we're lucky so far that this has been a pleasant reality. There have been times in the past where she was paranoid that people were going to kill her and other insane things like that so we are happy when she has a reality that is at least pleasant when going through this.

[EagleFan]

I should have time tomorrow afternoon to get back to this. I apologize for the early pause.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Odd that the nurse was acting that way; I'm pretty sure the UTI-dementia link is fairly well known. Then again, I've had several family members deal with dementia and my wife is in the medical field, so maybe my perception is skewed from normal.

[EagleFan]

Added the link to the first post.

BNN Home Page (www.theeaglefan.net/ATL)

It's very basic but it should do the trick for now. Let me know if it works for everyone.

It's the 2nd time we had pushback from a nurse. The next one that came in didn't question it, however.

Just found out that she has sepsis which I know can be bad. She seems okay at this moment and they don't seem alarmed so maybe it is mild (if that is a thing).

Will post the updated site after a few. The universe seems to be against me tonight. The stomach issue mentioned in the GotW thread, my mom seems to be losing her mind a little more tonight and the teenage drama has resurfaced. My daughter's friend is apparently in the hospital in handcuffs. The only story I have heard so far is from her mother but I think she is a little insane to be honest so I don't know what to think. The last thing her mother said was something about having her church pray over her daughter because she is full of evil spirits. That kind lo loses credibility with me.

[EagleFan]

Updated the online files.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Sorry you're still dealing with all the stuff :( At least your head feels better? I hope?

Thanks. The headaches tend to happen in clusters. Hopefully the last cluster is over. Next week starts my run of concerts I'll be going to so I hope they remain away for that.

I'll be honest with you. I am seriously wondering if there is anything that we could do to help her friend but I also don't want to overstep our bounds either.

[EagleFan]

I'm still seeing the results from the first week; is there a different url?

I'll take a look. I thought that I uploaded what was created, let me make sure the local files were all updated correctly.

[EagleFan]

Not sure what happened. Taking the local links I see the same. Going to see if it will update if I run the files again. May take a few.

[EagleFan]

My bad. I grabbed the almanac instead of the online reports.

[EagleFan]

Okay, should be better now. Let me know if that worked for you.

[jbergey22]

Thanks EF very nicely run league. By chance are my park setting Yellowstone National Park? :) 0 home runs through 4 games despite one game having 19 runs.

[Vince, Pt. II]

All of the one-run games for my team! And New York resorting to small ball to beat us for our only defeat thus far: single, fielders choice, stolen base, score from 2nd on a single to LF with a play at the plate.

Loving this league!

I should have picked up another pitcher. 2 of my losses fall squarely on my bullpen.

[EagleFan]

Posted to the site.

Week 4 will be Friday or Saturday (have to see what family scheduled look like). Week 5 will most likely be the following Tuesday. Next week marks the start of an insane 3 week stretch where I will be attending 7 (still could be 9) concerts in 21 days. I'll work the scheduling into that and family schedule.

What are the odds I will have hearing after that?

It's my "mid life crisis" I guess; my last full month before turning 50 so I wanted to send off the 1st half century with one hell of a party.

I love it. What's the lineup of concerts?

[Vince, Pt. II]

I know it's only 6 games, but man some of these stats:

Seaver with a 7.04 ERA
Alexander with a 5.57 ERA
Carlton Fisk is 2-23 for an .087 average.
Mr. Padre (your player of the week) is hitting .481.
Helton, whom I thought I drafted too early, is hitting .400 and leading the team in RBIs.

Everyone on my infield (including Fisk) has exactly 1 home run.
Everyone in my outfield (including Mays and Aaron) has exactly 0 home runs.

[EagleFan]

I love it. What's the lineup of concerts?

11th Battle Beast / Sonata Arctica / Kamelot (headliner)

Is The HU that Mongolian metal group?

Yeah. That is a double dose of awesome as they will be playing at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park which has a lot of music history for the state.

I switched Quisenberry into the closer role because Sutter was taking a beating and what happens? Quisenberry takes a beating.

Im frustrated with my bullpen. They have 3 of my 4 loses.

[yeah826]

Im starting to wonder if I should have focused on getting finessed base pitchers since they seem to be doing better in this league.

Finally broke the win one , lose one streak.

Not many teams left in the race

[Vince, Pt. II]

Sunday's sim is going to be make or break for the playoff:

10-4 New York:
@ 4-10 Stamford
vs. 4-10 Indianapolis
Overall Opp. Winning %: .446

Although New York has gotten most of the heavy lifting out of the way in their schedule, they still have Big Inning and Canton lurking in the last week of the season. If they blink against either of the cellar-dwellers, their prime position could quickly change.

10-4 Canton:
@ 8-6 Big Inning
vs. 9-5 Willow City
Overall Opp. Winning %: .607

Despite sitting in the driver's seat, Canton has what is easily the toughest schedule from here on out: in order they face t4th, 3rd, t4th, and t1st. Any slip could open the door...

9-5 Willow City:
vs. 7-7 Baltimore
@ 10-4 Canton
Overall Opp. Winning %: .554

Willow City didn't do themselves any favors by losing both games to New York this season, and they have a pretty tough row to hoe the rest of the way; that being said they control their own destiny with regard to at least getting into a tie for 2nd.

8-6 Big Inning:
vs. 10-4 Canton
@ 6-8 San Fernando
Overall Opp. Winning %: .536

Big Inning may be in the best position of the contenders: they have games against two of the three teams ahead of them, which bookend games against "weaker" competition in Otisburg and San Fernando. Making up two games with four to play is going to be no easy task however you slice it, though.

7-7 Tallahassee:
@ 4-10 Indianapolis
vs. 7-7 Baltimore
Overall Opp. Winning %: .482

7-7 Baltimore:
@ 9-5 Willow City
@ 7-7 Tallahassee
Overall Opp. Winning %: .536

Technically the 7-7 teams aren't eliminated yet; that being said it would take a friggin' miracle for either of them to get there being down three games with four to play and having FOUR teams ahead of each of them in the standings. They face off against one another this week, and the loser is almost assuredly eliminated.

6-8 San Fernando:
@ 5-9 Otisburg
vs. 8-6 Big Inning
Overall Opp. Winning %: .518

See below for the crazy path San Fernando needs to take to get into the conversation for the postseason.

[Vince, Pt. II]

It turns out San Fernando at 6-8 can actually make it into a tiebreaker situation if they win all four of their games and every one of the following things goes exactly this way: Canton goes at least 3-1, and their only loss can be to Tallahassee.
New York goes 0-4.
Willow City goes 0-4.
Big Inning goes 1-3 (beating Willow City).
Tallahassee beats Baltimore and loses to either Indianapolis or Canton.
Baltimore beats Willow City & New York, but loses to both Stamford and Tallahassee.

If that all goes down, we have the following records: 14-4: Canton (or 13-5)
10-8: New York, San Fernando
9-9: Willow City, Big Inning, Tallahassee, Baltimore
Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

[Vince, Pt. II]

For Baltimore or Tallahassee, I'm going to ignore tiebreakers at 10-8 or 11-7 because there are a ton of combinations and I have no idea what the tiebreakers are. Getting in outright comes down to this:
They must win out, going 4-0.
New York or Canton has to go 0-4.
Neither Willow City (2 wins) nor Big Inning (3 wins) can get to 11 wins.

Since Canton plays every single one of those teams listed above and Willow City and Big Inning play each other, this gets convoluted. The linchpin game here is actually Willow City @ Big Inning; if Willow City wins:
Canton must beat Willow City, so New York has to be the team that goes 0-4.
Willow City can't win another game, and must go 0-3.
Big Inning has to lose one additional game.
If Big Inning wins:
Big Inning needs to pick up two losses among Canton, San Fernando, and Otisburg.
Willow City needs to pick up two losses among Baltimore, Canton, and San Fernando.
One of Canton or New York has to go 0-4 still.

Unfortunately, both games with huge implications (Canton @ New York and Willow City @ Big Inning) happen in week 18. How does this upcoming sim shake out in terms of playoff implications?

San Fernando is eliminated with any of the following:
Any loss.
Any New York win.
Any Willow City win.
Any Big Inning win.
Baltimore beating Tallahassee.

Baltimore or Tallahassee are eliminated with any of the following:
The loser of their head-to-head matchup is eliminated.
New York and Canton going 2-0.
A loss in their non-head-to-head game and any two of the following:
New York winning at least one game.
Canton winning at least one game.
Willow City winning both games.

Big Inning is eliminated with:
Any loss and New York and Canton going 2-0.
Two losses and either one of the following:
New York winning at least 1 game.
Willow City winning both games.

Willow City is eliminated with:
Two losses and New York and Canton going 2-0.

Final week will be simmed Wednesday.

If a one game playoff is required for the wild card that will be Thursday live posted.

[Vince, Pt. II]

I am way more disappointed than I expected to be with that extra innings loss.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Playoff scenarios are sadly basic at this point:

New York (12-4) and Canton (12-4) both clinch a spot in the championship series with a single win.

Willow City (10-6) is two back with two to play, and they are already eliminated from home field in the championship series since one of New York or Canton is guaranteed a win in the final game of the season by virtue of them playing one another. This is good news, however, because it means that at least one of the two teams is guaranteed a loss. Willow City still needs the loser of that 18th game to lose their 17th game as well, and here are the candidates:

New York (12-4) @ Baltimore (7-9)
NY - Christy Mathewson (4-2, 5.36 ERA)
BAL - Randy D. Johnson (3-1, 4.20 ERA)

Once 7-4 and looking strong, Baltimore has taken an absolute nosedive, losing their last 5 consecutive games. New York, on the other hand, has won 6 of 7, and the only loss in that stretch was by one run. The first time these teams met, the Knights crushed the Steamers to the tune of 9-0; they chased Jacob deGrom with 8 runs before he could complete the 2nd inning, and NY starter Ed Walsh went the distance for a 6-hit, 0-walk shutout. Now we get to see the other pitching matchup, which decidedly favors Baltimore, as Randy Johnson has been much better than Jacob deGrom, who was recently demoted to the bullpen.

Canton (12-4) @ Tallahassee (8-8)
CAN - Dwight Gooden (1-3, 7.14 ERA)
TAL - Steve Carlton (2-2, 6.44 ERA)

After stumbling out the gate to a 1-2 record, Canton has been on fire winning 11 of 13 games - and they've done it by an average run differential of 4.23, so these aren't exactly close games. Tallahassee has had a late-season run at the playoffs derailed by losing 3 of their last 5, officially eliminating them for playoff consideration just this past weekend. The first time these two teams matched up, Tallahassee was on the losing end of a 10-3 whooping - but this time they don't have to face the vaunted Chris Sale, drawing Dwight Gooden and his 7+ ERA. Unfortunately, they are countering with Steve Carlton and his 6.44 ERA against the number one offense in the All-Time League.

Things are looking grim for Willow City, as they not only need two losses from one of the leaders, but they themselves have to win both of their games, and that means getting through Clayton Kershaw, he of the 3.18 ERA in a league where the average ERA is 5.76.

[tarcone]

Damn. I thought we were getting hot. And we fall back to our 500 play.

Boooooo

[yeah826]

Pitching seemed to be a massive issue with my team.

[EagleFan]

I am way more disappointed than I expected to be with that extra innings loss.

That was huge. A win there and you're tied for the last playoff spot with the outside chance for the top spot.

[Vince, Pt. II]

That was huge. A win there and you're tied for the last playoff spot with the outside chance for the top spot.

Tell me about it!

Carlton Fisk and Ernie Banks have been such incredible disappointments. It's mostly small sample size shenanigans, but Fisk is a -15 OPS+. Fairly certain all here understand OPS+ already, but in case you don't 100 = league average. -15 is...insane.

[jbergey22]

Pitching has kind of been all over the place. A few pitchers you would think would do well are total crap and some pitchers maybe youd think would struggle against these all time top hitters are holding their own. It has certainly been interesting and some very close games and well balanced league.

[spleen1015]

My pitching has been complete shit.

I also drafted for HRs and I have so many players that didn't even hit 1.

[cmgdodgers]

Pitchers all seem outmatched , these batting stats are pretty insane.

[EagleFan]

Setting it up. Will start posting relatively shortly.

[EagleFan]

Stamford @ Indianapolis

Indianapolis jumps out to a 5-0 lead through 2 innings. Stamford scores 1 in the 3rd and 2 in 4th and 5th to tie the game 5-5. Indianapolis answers back with 2 in the 6th to take a 7-5 lead. Stamford steps up with 5 in the 7th to take a 10-7 lead. Indianapolis cuts the lead to 10-9 with 2 of their own in the 7th. Stamford adds another in the 8th and go on to the 11-9 victory.

[EagleFan]

Canton @ Tallahassee

The game is tight as Tallahassee scores at least 1 run from the 2nd through 7th innings and the game is tied 8-8 going into extra innings. In the top of the 10th Canton explodes for 5 runs for a 13-8 victory and they have clinched a playoff spot.

[EagleFan]

New York @ Baltimore

New York jumps all over Baltimore pitching and leads 13-1 through the top of the 7th. Baltimore tries to get back into it but can only manage to plate 5 runs as New York wins 13-6 to clinch a playoff spot.

The win sets up a winner takes home field advantage game on the final day with Canton.

[EagleFan]

San Fernando @ Willow City

San Fernando score 3 in the top of the 1st. Willow City scores 1 in the 4th to make it 3-1. In the 8th and 9th Willow City scores 1 each to tie the game 3-3 and send it to extra innings. Willie Mays leads off the bottom of the 9th with a triple and Todd Helton hits a sacrifice fly for the 4-3 victory.

[EagleFan]

Big Inning @ Otisburg

Big Inning scores 2 in the 1st and 2nd to take an early 4-0 lead and they add 2 more in the 5th as they hold on for a 6-3 victory.

[EagleFan]

Otisburg @ Indianapolis

Indianapolis pounds out 20 hits and Mark McGwire hits his 1st homerun of the season as Indianapolis ends their season with a 14-4 victory.

[EagleFan]

Baltimore @ Stamford

Baltimore scores 6 in the top of the 1st and does not look back as they win their final game 11-3.

[EagleFan]

Willow City @ Big Inning

Big Inning puts on a show for their fans in their last game with a 13-2 victory.

[EagleFan]

Tallahassee @ San Fernando

Tallahassee scores 3 in the 2nd to take a 3-1 lead. San Fernando chips away to come back to a 5-3 victory.

[EagleFan]

Canton @ New York

The winner will have home field advantage in the playoffs.

In the top of the 4th Canton scores 3 to take a 3-0 lead. They add 2 more in the top of the 5th to go up 5-0.

New York does not bow out, they get on the board in the bottom of the 5th to make it 5-1. In the bottom of the 6th New York bats around and scores 6 runs to go up 7-5.

In the top of the 7th Canton scores 1 to get to 7-6.

An Alex Rodriguez sacrifice fly in the top of the 9th ties the game 7-7. New York loads the bases with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th but a King Kelly ground out sends the game to extra innings.

In one of the weirdest innings of the year Canton scores twice in the top of the 10th, both on wild pitches by Joe Nathan to give Canton a 9-7 lead.

In the bottom of the 10th Pete Rose leads off with a single but a double play and strikeout ends any chance.

Canton wins 9-7 and will have home field advantage in the playoffs.

Game 3 (if needed) - Friday 8:00 PM EST

[jbergey22]

In the baseball world full disclosure with the starting pitchers is an unwritten rule to disclose so I wanted to disclose beforehand that I am planning on pulling Gooden and moving him into the pen. Sale will start game #1 if he is rested(im not sure how many rest days he actually has before the playoffs start) and Newhowser will start game #2. Otherwise Newhowser will be starting game #1 followed by Sale.

[jbergey22]

If we were voting Id choose Wade Boggs or Rogers Hornsby for MVP and Clayton Kershaw for CYA(probably have to rename the award for this league:))

[EagleFan]

I will reset fatigue prior to game 1 as well. That should make it play out like the entire season with full rest for the odd number games.

[EagleFan]

The voting sounds like a great idea. I'll put something up for that.

[tarcone]

We should vote for an all league team as well.

[jbergey22]

My mid-draft predictions (https://forums.operationsports.com/fofc/showpost.php?p=3246476&postcount=275) were hilariously awful.

In all fairness in a short season like this there is a ton of randomness and it would have been hard to know the pitching was going to be such a non factor. I am curious as to what settings EF is using. I think 75 percent of the league is out hitting their normal averages while the pitchers seem to be playing in the juiced ball era x2. LOL

[EagleFan]

As for the settings questions. I used current day as the time frame and imported the players using the default settings for importing historical players. Didn't change any of the player related settings other than turning off injuries. It seems that the game prioritized offense over pitching.

[EagleFan]

For the player awards. I'll announce them on Friday to give the last few people a chance to submit their votes.

[jbergey22]

Great job cmgdodgers.

Thanks EF!

It is much appreciated, but it really isnt my type of game. And like the others, I have several games I need to learn and play (CK2, Im looking at you).

I will pass, also, but thank you for offering it up.

Checking with bhlloy and Breeze, if they both pass it will go to yeah (as they have the tie breakers in that three way).

Also, for anyone interested. Have a slightly different "dynasty" thread for a longer season with 25 man teams.
