1855 Season Thread

Spring Training is complete.

1st half of the season starts on Tuesday night. Have an enjoyable weekend. For the newbies -- not that you're dealing -- but in the off-chance you were -- the trade deadline is essentially on Monday night and then you can't make a deal again until between the 1st and 2nd half break.

But no one ever trades around here, so I guess I won't worry about it until it happens.

The expansion teams will pick 3, 4, 5, 6 in this year's draft. I used a list randomizer on random.org to pick the order:


Quote:
There were 4 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

Hilton Head (3rd)
Wichita Falls (6th)
Gettysburg (4th)
Lake Tahoe (5th)
Timestamp: 2012-07-28 05:36:21 UTC

Since I'm commish, I'll pick 4th among these teams automatically.

Panzzer had to drop out, because he had family issues to tend to. He'd be welcomed back if he decides he has time for OOTP in the future.

We're very lucky to add to our recent string of all-star owners, with ekcut joining us and he'll be taking over the Winnemucca franchise starting this year. He's been around the fast-sim game since the early years, has earned his stripes in FOOL and now he'll be joining us in SLOP.

So give him a hearty welcome!

Anyone interested in a winter league that would take place during the weekend of the off-season. Nothing especially intense, just a way to develop some prospects and otherwise gets guys some work.

An idea that occurred to me on my run today and I thought I'd post and see if anyone was remotely intrigued.

Ok, so the first half is complete. We'll sim the draft tomorrow night, so do your draft lists and export. Also, you can make deals over the next 24 hours too.

File is up!

File is going up now. It'll be slower than it ever should be, because my internet is not running well today. I'll post when it's complete.

2nd half of the season will be simmed tomorrow night. Teams are logjammed, so it's still anyone's race!

Well this is wonderful. In the process of DL the new file. It stops and i get a message from windows saying that ootp 13 has stopped working, windows will notify you if there is a solution and it closes. So i fire it up again and still wont load.

You had that problem because I was putting up a new file just now because of a 2nd trade that went down, because my internet is super slow today for whatever reason.

Try again now, it should be fine.

Obviously the bad expansion teams are artificially making teams look better than they ought to be. Anytime you can win 90+ and finish 4th...things are awry.

Considering how bad Lake Tahoe started the year, the fact they only lost 135 games is impressive.

Brooklyn heads for a chance at their 3rd straight NL pennant, after Carolina preceded them in doing the same. In fact, since Carolina won their first pennant in '45, they've won five (claiming 2 Series titles along the way) and the only thing standing in Brooklyn's way is the last team to attempt to win three straight titles.

In the AL, Syracuse looks to repeat as AL champ, while Memphis seeks their first pennant since '46. It's not for a lack of trying, it'll be their third straight ALCS appearance. Just can't seem to get over the hump.

Knowing this audience, I doubt it'll be the case...but if there's a clamoring for some kind of play-in game between the 2nd and 3rd place teams in each league, that's something we can implement for next year.

I didn't figure there would be any real clamoring for it though. Just saying...

Charlie Taylor logs 29 wins at age 38. Pedro Villegas of Rio Grande goes 28-10 after never winning more than 16 games before (and that was during his rookie year.)

Should be interesting to see how things normalize with the expansion teams (presumably) getting better in the future.
