    I never use power swing with a pitcher. Generally I'm trying to work the count and get as many pitches from the AB as possible and hope for a squib single lol.

It is going to be hard to not make assumptions I've made off players so far though lol.. and it is going to be especially hard not having Singleton anchoring my lineup haha.. I hope his potential or anything hasn't been decreased.. he was a valuable asset on my team.

      I still may sim one season.. not sure yet. I guess I'll see what the new roster looks like.
      start fresh with everybody besides Harrell...i actually want Castro, CJ, Schafer, Myers, and Lyon to succeed

        Good point there.

        So even though I've been taking pitches and working the count much better...Guthrie was just dominating through 8 innings. But Travis Buck leads off with a single in the 9th, they pull Guthrie for Betancourt. I then run for him with Schafer. Schafer steals 2nd, Johnson (pinch hitter) moves him to 3rd, and Altuve hits a SAC fly to tie it up.

        Tied at 1 entering the 10th inning. Cruz is coming in, I need to lock this thing up and give my offense a chance.

                  Walk-off error! Jose Altuve leads off the inning with a single. Bogey bunts him to 2nd, Wallace hits a ball to first, advancing the runner. Then Carlos Lee hits a liner right at Rex Brothers in the bottom of the 12th inning, Brothers collects himself and throws it...10 feet over Helton's head and out of play

                  Only took 12 innings and almost every bench player I had lol.

                            How about "Luke...I'm not your father cuz you stink and I don't want you anywhere near anything that has something to do with me ever again! Don't call, don't text...don't even look at me!"

                            A bit rough maybe?
