On the AI bit:

I've turned on AI for my minor leagues, as I've had guys get ticked off that they were stuck in A ball when they improved during the year.

I've had it on for the entire roster one season, but wasn't happy with who it shifted between majors and minors. OTOH, the one big weakness/frustration I'm having with the league right now is OOTP's desire to absolutely crush the careers of guys ages 26-28 for no good reason, and I hate watching that happen while someone else is tearing up AAA, or watching that guy take up a key spot in the rotation while a youngster on the back end can't get pushed up, so I've considered turning it back on for the whole roster. ESPECIALLY now that signings / releases have been fixed to be completely separate from promotions / deletions. We can turn off AI signings / releases (and probably everyone should) while letting the AI do lineups, depth charts, promotions, and demotions. With OOTP's aging model, I don't think it's fair to stop GMs from taking advantage of AI promotions / demotions.

On the season, Boston was 7-3 in its last 10 games, and the 3 losses were against Compton which helped them pull away. Nice to see John MacDonald get us off that schneid and take one from Compton.

SEPTEMBER 6, 1969
As we head into the next to last weekend of the regular season things are heating up in both playoff races.

In the Republic League, Hartford needs to hope for a sweep against the sagging Chicago Comets this weekend on the road, while the Brothers of Compton are facing off against an Ann Arbor team that are clinging to their playoff lives this weekend at home. Boston heads out west to Colorado, where the Rancheros are poised to play spoiler.

In the Continental League, Brooklyn hopes home cooking will power them over the surging Valdosta Peanuts, who come to town for a three-game tilt that could leave the CL pennant race tied after the weekend ends. Meanwhile, New York -- hot off a three game sweep of Toronto at home -- hope to keep the stove hot against the Atlanta Firecrackers to stay right in the thick of the race.

Things are just getting interesting, folks!

I had NO idea he'd be THAT good. The guy is a favorite for MVP at this point. I wish I'd thrown more cash at him too, even if I didn't really have it to give. Great work by Brooklyn on that pickup.

Here's to hoping NY can turn things around against Atlanta this season. Hasn't gone so well against that team so far to date.

SEPTEMBER 8, 1969
What a weekend!

Valdosta took two of three (6-0, 7-1, 2-3) against Brooklyn on the road, to shave their deficit in the CL down to 2 games behind the league leading Brownstones. New York kept soaring, taking two out of three against Atlanta (7-6, 1-3, 8-3) to pull within 3 games of the 'Stones.

In the Republic League, the Compton Brothers (91-56) clinched a tie for their first ever RL title, after taking two out of three games (7-3, 1-4, 4-2) against the Ann Arbor Wolverines on the road. Ann Arbor, Boston and Hartford are all tied for second, 7 games behind Compton. Barring a massive collapse, the RL race is now about who'll finish in the money in the second place spot.

Brooklyn now welcomes the Texas Copperheads (55-92), the worst team in the CL to Cowpie Field for a four game tilt. Valdosta will take on Rio Grande (68-79) in a four-game set at home. Third place New York (89-58) has won six of their last seven and will now head to Toronto, to face off against the same Atlantics club they swept last week.

Things sure are interesting...

SEPTEMBER 9, 1969
A REAL TEAM EFFORT
A combined no-hitter by Joel Garner (he walked six batters and the game let him pitch 8 2/3 innings before pulling him) and Matt Wood of Valdosta. Game doesn't credit players who combine on no-hitters thus, if I weren't watching, we'd never have known it until someone decided to take a look.

Astounding stuff, though. 1-0 victory for Valdosta over Rio Grande.

[Young Drachma]

Actually, upon doing research. The olden days say that the NL did a best-of-three game series and the AL did a one-game playoff. I think we'll go with a best-of-three in FOOL. Gotta create suspense and drama.

[gstelmack]

Tight series of games with Ann Arbor, down to that last one when they shellacked us. Oh well, it's been a good season, just not QUITE enough oomph.

Ann Arbor clinches a tie for 2nd place in the RL. Meanwhile, in the CL, Valdosta is now just down by 2 games with 3 to play. They've got a 3 game tilt to end the year with New York at home, while the Brownstones play against Atlanta, whom they've gone 15-4 against this year. New York is 8-11 against Valdosta this season. If New York sweeps, they clinch 2nd place and a share of the postseason cash, Valdosta has grander plans, of course. Brooklyn needs at least one win this weekend to clinch a tie for the league pennant, two wins would secure their first EVER league championship.

We'll need to vote after this season to decide what to do with the DH in the FOOL Classic. This is the third year of the 3 year experiment of not having it in the championship at all. We'll need to decide whether to do it like MLB does it, with the home park rules prevailing, to keep the status quo or ::gasp:: to do it in both parks.

[Young Drachma]

All-Star game is Sept. 16th (tomorrow in game time). I just changed the FOOL Classic schedule to start on the 22nd of September or 5 days after the All-Star game (to give hurlers 5 days rest before the start of the series). The format is 2-3-2-2 and Brooklyn has home field advantage with the best record in the league.

[Young Drachma]

Republic League defeated the Continental League 2-1 in the 1969 All-Star game. El Paso's Dale Pickin was All-Star Game MVP. He went 2 for 4 with a home run and an RBI. He hit the game winning home run, a solo shot in the 9th to give the RL the win.

Well, I guess that is what you call close but no cigar. 95 wins and not making the championship game I think doesn't really say much about what I did wrong as much as just says that Brooklyn is an amazing team, and I hope they represent the CL well in the championship. Grats on a great season!

[Young Drachma]

4 years removed from the last time I played in the FOOL Classic. Seems like an eternity ago. You gotta like Brooklyn's chances in this one. The only way I think we beat them is by mashing them off the field. The rules aren't exactly in our favor, but we have depth and a huge home field advantage. My boys won on the strength of an August that was out of this world (23-4) and while Brooklyn backed into their title at the end, we didn't exactly set the earth on fire in September either.

We have depth, they boast the best pitching staff in the Continental League and they have Rich Lang. It's anyone's guess how this might go down. But it should be a barn burner.

It'll be fun and maddening to see Nathan Adams again. Talk about a lightning rod.

[muns]

First a "Congrats" to both of you for making it to the classic.

Second......DC you have me going in circles sitting here looking at this shit...

You go and break up the best team we will likely see for the next 50 years. Come back as an expansion team, take up guys we dont want.. fiddle around with em for 3 years for shits and giggles and now your back in the classic (again).

So I guess what im trying to say is, hats off you to my friend, (and for making me and the other 10 of us who can only sniff the playoffs horrible)

Very Impressive IMO

Looks like David Barajas of Atlanta had one against me at the end of July as well. My offense went from the best in the league to just plain horrible.

[Cringer]

Well now. 1B Tyler Reilly might just not be leaving Rio Grande. His horrible year has dropped his extension demands enough I am willing to take the risk of keeping him around I think. Heck, the guy was still an All-Star this year (even an odd pick for the AI IMO), I will sign him up and hope for the best. I hate having guys leave and he was my first impact FA signing so he is an important part of the team to me.

What is the minimum age at the Majors level for FOOL? 18? I may have a kid who has to sit at AAA for one more year if so, he won't turn 18 until May.

[Young Drachma]

Minimum age is 17

If nothing else, I've learned is that it's hard as hell to do this.

[Cringer]

So how far did the Rio Grande offense fall this year?

Fewest runs scored, in all of FOOL.
3rd fewest HRs, in all of FOOL.
3rd worst Batting Average, in all of FOOL. (of course those girls in the RL with their DH are higher then the whole CL except Brooklyn)
2nd fewest Hits, in all of FOOL.
Fewest Triples, in all of FOOL.
Worst Slugging and OPS, in all of FOOL.

The only thing we maintained doing well at was plate discipline, drawing the 2nd most BBs in FOOL and having the fewest Ks in FOOL.

Talk about a drop off. :shakes head:

[Chief Rum]

Congrats to the league champions and good luck in the FOOL Classic.

[Chief Rum]

On the AI thing, I'm not so sure how we should go with where to draw the lines with AI, but I would like to see it be the same across the board, or absolutely clear what is and is not allowed with those settings, such that I wouldn't mind a vote on every setting under the Manager Options.

The next time we go through an offseason and I see roster transactions for the commissioner's team only across an entire season (especially when none of us have a chance to update our teams) will be my last day in the league.

We can just agree to not allow AI roster changes during the year. I understand the concern and it's just easier to do that, so there isn't any future confusion.

1969 FOOL CLASSIC PREVIEW
BROOKLYN (97-57) CL CHAMPIONS v. COMPTON (95-59) RL CHAMPIONS

Another year, another set of newcomers to the FOOL Classic as Brooklyn faces off against Compton as both attempt to claim the first title for their respective squads. Let's do a rundown of both clubs.

BROOKLYN BROWNSTONES
The Brownstones had a .688 win percentage at their home ballpark Cowpie Field. They are led by Nick Adams, a second baseman who spent the previous two years in Compton, before securing a release after he underachieved. What did he managed to do upon returning to the friendly confines of Brooklyn? Hit .266 with 21 HRs and 104 RBI. Needless to say, he'll get a warm reception upon his return to Compton, for what fans believe was simply a fleecing of their money for two years that he underachieved.

But enough of THAT drama.

The offensive star of the Brownstones is rookie Rich Lang, who came over from the Vulture League. He's simply the most dynamic player in baseball right now. He hit .377 in his first FOOL season, stole 89 bases, hit 15 triples and scored 122 runs. He's not a guy you stop, you simply plan to stop those around him.

Other standouts on the Brownstones include outfielder Ambrosi Cocciarella, who hit .253 this year with 14 triples and 30 steals.

The Brownstones play CL baseball at its best,knowing how to steal, hit and run and simply get on base better than almost any team in FOOL right now. The Brothers are going to have a hard time keeping pace with this team, as they've seen nothing like it in the Republic League this year.

On the pitching side, the Brooklyn staff is led by Joel Nelson who went 19-7 this year with a 2.92 ERA. The righthander isn't even the best pitcher on the team though. That distinction goes to Sadaharu Kobayashi who sends the Coney Island faithful in a tizzy every time he gets on the mound. He went 16-6 with a 3.05 ERA in his second major league season.

The Brownstones are stacked with depth, rounding out their "big three" is Patrick Bentley, a hard throwing right hander (15-6, 2.90 ERA) who had six complete games this year. Brooklyn's team ERA, starters and bullpen ERA were all tops in the Continental League signaling that fits could be in store for Compton's free swinging mashers, who'll be without their beloved designated hitter in the FOOL Classic.

Brooklyn's a powerful, well balanced club that's faced the toughest competition all year. With that in mind, it's the Brownstones title to take.

COMPTON BROTHERS
Just four years ago, Compton was an expansion team. Now? They are league champions. Taking a look at the ballclub, the only starter who remains from that original club is hurler Bob Halpin who came over from Chicago during that first year and won 15 games. He came into his own in '69, winning 19 games and motoring a Compton rotation that'd had its most successful season yet. He teams up with Joe Morris who in his second season in Compton went 16-10 with a 3.44 ERA. Future Hall of Famer Tom Williams is back in the FOOL Classic for the first time since 1962 and is hoping to hoping to build on a 5-2 career record in the post-season.

Speaking of, if experience is the key to victory, then that might be one of the strengths for Compton. Both Brooklyn (William Hawkins) and Compton (Cristo Farias) only have one position player with post-season experience. But on the pitching side of the house, Compton has five players who have played key roles on championship teams, versus a total of two for Brooklyn (Walt Withcombe with Colorado, Patrick Bentley with Valdosta)

You actually forget how much of a St. Louis connection there is on this Compton squad, until you look closer and realize that Pete McKeane was the closer on those Compton championship squads, that Joe Morris was a starter back then, while Steven Davis and Aaron Dailey were part of Charleston's early pennant winner.

Back to the present now. Aaron Dailey broke the single-season saves record, logging 50 saves this year with a 1.75 ERA. He's going to be a critical piece to any championship puzzle by the boys from Compton. He's backed up by setup man Ray Howe who went 8-2 with a 2.70 ERA this year.

The loss of the DH for the FOOL Classic means that Henry McKinney and his 31 HRs and 95 RBI will have to trek to the outfield to keep him in the lineup. The star of the team in Compton is first baseman Mel Brooks who hit .305 this year with 33 HRs and 101 RBI.

The thing that Compton comes equipped with is punch. Their .279 batting average was tops in FOOL this year, the team was tops in a number of other major offensive categories such as slugging percentage, extra base hits, runs scored and home runs, mashing 231 dingers this year, more than double the 110 hit by Brooklyn this year. With Cowpie Field in Brooklyn slightly favoring left handed power hitters and of course, the southpaw hitter's dream at Robinson-Watts Stadium outside Los Angeles, it could be a one-sided offensive affair for the Brothers.

The question of this series is whether Brooklyn's pitching is good enough to stop Compton's offense. Compton's pitching is capable, but if their offense gets stifled and can't put up enough runs, this could be a short series. If nothing else, the fact that the miracle expansion team from California ran the season with 24 players -- but still managed to win the RL -- is a feat in itself, so win, lose or draw, they've got nothing to be ashamed of.

Is this just ML roster, or does it include minors?

The issue is players moving from minors to majors and vice versa. I can't see any issue with letting the ai control the minors movements.

That's pretty surreal.

[Cringer]

My two cents on the roster moves topic....

Hell, I wasn't even aware you could set AI decisions for anything in MP. Kind of defeats the purpose to me as well. I thought a big part of this league was to set your team up in the offseason to the best of your ability, and just letting it run, hence injuries turned off. Any kind of major league level of moves in season just goes against this IMO, and should not be happening at all. No guys moving up/down to the minors, and no adjustments of rotation/lineup of any kind by anyone (except those done by the AI naturally because of fatigue) except at the FOOL Classic break for those playing in the Classic.

This sounds like what will be done, so I am good if that is the case.

Agreed. Im of the opinion that there shouldnt be any minor league moves with the AI either.

[Cringer]

If the AI can do minor league moves only I guess that is fine to me, though I lean towards no AI moves at all as well.
