From here on out, I will be using a banner created by Frank Is The Tank for all my dynasty updates. I give full credit to him for his amazing work and would like to thank him greatly.

that is a very large "banner"

Re: Taking Flight | A Toronto Blue Jays Dynasty

In order to make this dynasty more realistic, I have added the following rules for injured players. The rules can be viewed in the first post or below:

Spoiler

1. Any player who is placed on the 15-day disabled list must play 2-10 games in the minors (depending on injury severity) before returning to the roster.
2. Any player who is placed on the 60-day disabled list must play 8-15 games in the minors (depending on injury severity) before returning to the roster.
3. Any pitcher who suffers an arm injury must play either 1 or 2 starts in the minors or 6 -10 relief appearances in the minors.
4. All players should be placed on the 15-day disabled list before the 60-day disabled list if possible.

Tampa Bay Rays (3-9, Away)		Toronto Blue Jays (6-3, Home)
Pitching Probables David Price (0-1, 5.09) Game One David Price (0-1, 5.09) Matt Moore (1-1, 5.68) Game Two R.A. Dickey (0-1, 7.71) Cobb (0-0, 3.65) Game Three Brandon Morrow (1-1, 2.45) Injury Report None None Game Notes This is the first series of the season between these two American League East divisional rivals. Look for a handful of good pitching matchups this series as lefties J.A. Happ and AL Cy Young winner David Price start it off followed by former National League Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey taking the mound in game 2 against lefty Matt Moore.

Geez, Lincoln had some kind of outing in relief!

Re: Taking Flight | A Toronto Blue Jays Dynasty

Nice! The music in the vid was boss. Almost sounds like a Van Halen instrumental. And, loved the chord that went along with getting the last out.

Yeah. My bullpen is gassed right now. Everybody is at 75% energy or lower.

Nice! The music in the vid was boss. Almost sounds like a Van Halen instrumental. And, loved the chord that went along with getting the last out.

That's actually the music in the game. I didn't have to edit anything and It worked out great!
