I GIDP at least once per game........usually 2 or 3 times

I also leave at least 5 guyz on base in my loses..........probably an avg or 8 or 9 per game.

How do i fix this???

Well...

Who bats 2nd on your team? If your leadoff guy gets on, but your #2 guy has alot of GBA's on his card, this could be a rally killer.

Leaving guys on base is part of the game. It can be more of a problem, if your team is lacking in + clutch guys though...

yea....post a link :wink:

Please do post a link to your team. Here's how...

On the top of YOUR TEAM page is a Navy Blue bar that contains the following hyperlinks:

Your Team | Your League | Trades/Mail (0) | Community | Your Account | Strat-O-Matic | Help

Put your cursor over the one titled "Your League" (in the dark blue above) and you will see the following menu appear below:

Scores | Schedules | Standings | Statistics | Transactions | Injuries | Roster Chart

Click on either "Schedules" or "Statistics" (in purple above). You will then see a list of team names and their schedules, or hitting and pitching statistics for each team.

Now, simply click on YOUR TEAM NAME and you will be taken once again to your team page, but THIS time your team id# will appear in that page's URL.

Now all you have to do is Copy/Paste THAT URL in here (with a [url]at the beginning and a [/url] at the end), and you have successfully created a link to your team.

Congrats! Very Happy to help you.

my top 5 used to be

Adam Kennedy
Crawford
Gueerrorororo
Konerko
Tejada
Glaus

I just made monster changes to my team. I dropped glaus, tejada, kennedy, kotsay and picked up. A min 3b, Peralta, The 2b from Oakland and Edmonds. Had to drop some relievers for mins and downgrade one of my pitchers.

now my starting lineup is

Crawford, Peralta, Guerero, Oak 2b, Edmonds, Konerko, Estrada

now my starting lineup is

Crawford, Peralta, Guerero, Oak 2b, Edmonds, Konerko, Estrada


I'm assuming you mean Mark Ellis (Oak 2B)


Problem #1: Peralta. Fantastic offenisve card, especially vs. LH. He does have 17 double play chances vs. RH's though. (12 vs. LH's).
Defensively, he's giving up too many hits @ SS. You need to use a 2 or better defensively unless a 3 hits a to to make up for his defense.

Problem #2: Ellis is NOT a #4 hitter. He's probably a better leadoff guy for you with Crawford batting lower in the lineup.

Problem #3: Konerko is bating too far down the lineup as is Edmonds.

Problem #4: Estrada is OK vs. RH's, but not so vs. LH's. He "could" use a platoon.

Post a link to your team.

I try to avoid players who have a lot of gb(A) on the team if I can help it. I don't mind a player with a lot of gb(A) batting leadoff (if he has high on base) or maybe last but 2nd through 7th having a guy with a lot of gb(A) is killer. My recollection is that Guerrero and Tejada have a ton of gb(A) on their cards but I'm not sure and I don't know about those others without looking.
