My team page is updated now, which is good but the box scores are still not loading right. When you click on a score, it is different and the last 4 days are not showing. You may know that already but if not, you do now.
I'm not gonna worry about Box Scores this time around, if they don't work right next time I sim. I'll worry, but not now.
Just posting this as a reminder: The sim is back up and running. If you want to make changes, you need to post in the lineup thread or talk to Chuck via email or chat.
Chuck, I take it that you will finish the regular season sometime tomorrow (hopefully in the afternoon). Since my wildcard lead is tenuous, is there any way that you can sim out the remainder of the regular season with me in chat, that way you can tell me about injuries and ask me if there are any changes I want to make? Not asking for live sims here, but knowing about injuries and being able to make changes before you sim certain games will help me, I believe. I'll try to talk to you in chat about it, but if I miss you, can you let me know something? Thanks
I plan on doing the same thing we've always done at the end of the season, that being fast sim up to the last 7 games, than go game by game.
Okay that is fine. Can you please come to chat? Cat and I noticed something about Prior that needs your attention.
I finished out the season, since the only real race left was the Cubs in their quest for the Wild Card, and we're all updated until the playoffs. I'd like to start Sunday night, so get those playoff lineups in ASAP
My hope is to sim until elimination games about 9:00 Eastern, 8:00 for all you central time zone folk So Dave, PLEASE get yours and Pued's lineups to me
Okay, Chuck has simmed up to elimination games. Here are the results: American League Minnesota leads Oakland 2-1 Yankees lead Toronto 2-1 National League Cubs lead San Francisco 2-0 Cincy leads Florida 2-1 If you want to make changes, let Chuck know.
Chuck, I'd like to be crowned grand champion of the newly retitled Tim Wakefield Knucklified Baseball Simulation Consortium.
OOTP Sim will be tonight at 9:15 EST, if you want a live sim, be there . But make sure you get edits in before that.
I know that you will have to sim Game 3 of Cubs and Giants first; please make sure that Garcia starts Game 3. Also, please make sure that you check out the roster thread as there are some cuts/issues to be resolved. I should be in chat tonight around 8:45 CST, possibly 9. Hopefully, there will be a live sim between you and everyone's favorite Norwegian.
Alright Manny, I'll wait for you if it gets to a game 5, who do you want to pitch game 4 (if necessary)?
See what the game says on Mulder. If it says he is too tired, then go with Dotel. If it says that OD is too tired, then I will have no choice but to go with Jason Johnson.
Ok, I am voting right now to fire chuck. I turn the game over to him and 3 of my top 4 pitchers are injured within a span of 9 days. WTF is up with that. I was starting to get a little pissed when I looked at the boxes and saw Hudson start an elimination game then I saw Ohka start and was like weel crap why did i even bother making a roster post. Then I saw the injuries> I had nothing close to a major injury all season and then the game springs that crap on me. It is like the Colorado Rockies all over again BTW I am not really mad at you chuck.
They're envious that Wade Miller gets to play for the Reds, and aren't paying attention to their training regiment
But I am. He's the worst commish to date. He's like a crack w**** on speed. I've never seen the offseason move through elim games like this before. All other commish do date have waited for some kind of go ahead for the elim games. I was even in chat and asked if he could wait, and if he couldn't, I would be able to reschedule my events so I could do it then. He said yes, and then one hour later, he figured he could not wait any longer. I can take the fact that I lost with Wayne playing game 5, but both game 4 and 5 where simmed without my presence or go ahead. And it is not like I had not been around for days. I'm not really really mad at you either Chuck, but honestly, you need to slow down a bit.
I am going to stick up for my NL Central buddy here.... Is Chuck going too fast?? Probably, but you have to remember that we went a week without a sim and that skewed things a little bit as he probably felt that he needed to speed up to catch things back to where they should be. Once the playoffs are finished, I am sure that Chuck will get a better feel for simming. Right now, he is still testing it out and I think that we should cut him a little slack. I am just glad that he is doing it because I don't want the league to die. And Heath, please don't think this is a slam at you...I just want to point out that Chuck just took it over and like anyone else, it will take him some time to get a feel for the pace of simming. Personally, I like the live sims but as I found out last night, there are many times where the computer makes the right decision compared to me (e.g. taking Bradford out to face Larson and replacing him with Izzy). Chuck - I know that you said that Tuesdays and Thursdays are bad for you, but I may get out of a study group session earlier than I thought. So, I could be in chat around 9, maybe earlier. If you want to go ahead and sim Game 2 and Game 3 without me, feel free to do so. But if I am down 3-0, I would like for you to wait on me so I can evaluate things. If our series goes back and forth and is like tied at 2-2, could you wait on me in that scenario?
Is Chuck going too fast?? Probably, He is. but you have to remember that we went a week without a sim and that skewed things a little bit as he probably felt that he needed to speed up to catch things back to where they should be. He did do that with the regular season flying away too. I didn't say something at the time as I felt the same, and it was the end of the season, but speeding through the playoffs? Once the playoffs are finished, I am sure that Chuck will get a better feel for simming. I agree, I just thought it would happen before the playoffs. As he had been around for ages during with other commishes doing the playoff I thought he knew that even one round of the playoff could go on for a couple days. Right now, he is still testing it out and I think that we should cut him a little slack. But b****ing is way more fun. And again, I don't think the results would have changed and I also should have spoken out when he simmed the first elim game without waiting, but I did give him the slack there, but it also was the reason I was careful to ask him to wait for the deciding game of the series. Stupid me thought he would wait until I returned when he said so (without asking me how long I would be gone) and not decide that 1 hour was enough waiting. I am just glad that he is doing it because I don't want the league to die. He was not the only one who offered to take it up. And Heath, please don't think this is a slam at you... No need to worry Personally, I like the live sims My issue isn't really about the live sim, it was about being there when I asked for it and Chuck said so. I know I wanted a live game, but not live-live, more of a computer inning for inning style, and then when the game goes bad, maybe the last couple of innings full live. there are many times where the computer makes the right decision compared to me Yeah, compared to you yes. The computer has nothing on my moves though. Chuck - ... if I am down 3-0, I would like for you to wait on me so I can evaluate things. If our series goes back and forth and is like tied at 2-2, could you wait on me in that scenario? Sure you trust him to wait if he says yes? Oh, and Chuck - I do love you, and like the way you handled the re-sim issue and putting up FA ratings during the playoff. I just like to give you a hard time.
Damn, OD got hammered! Chuck - you can go ahead and sim Game 5 without me, but if you want we can live sim Game 6 and if necessary, Game 7. I have church tonight, but if you want to do this before 9, let me know and I can blow it off....heh.
