This is my first post, so be gentle:
I nearly flipped when I came across Strat-o-matic online!! Talk about great childhood memories.....I signed up right away and am glad to be here!
My questions are:
1. What time do they post games? Seems like it is pretty late in the evening.
2. What % of your 80 million would you spend on pitching? I find that buying 5 quality starters and a closer alone make up a big part of my budget. Ifg I add quality hitters, I find that I have to fill in the rest of my bullpen with .50's and that has already bit me on the butt.
3. If you want a specialist pitcher like Brian Shouse to only pitch to 1 batter, can your settings reflect that?
Thanks for your help and patience with this rookie. I look forward to a long and happy association with my new Srat buddies!

Welcome Techsan

Drawing from the excitement of your post I would say these are more important questions for you...

1) can you afford an addiction at this point in my life
2) will your wife miss you
3) will you be able to function in your work place while plotting for your multiple upcoming series
4) can you adapt to sleeping an hour or two less every night...either to stay up for scores or to get up early so you can read them before work.

Enjoy!

Thanks Turtle.

You may want to hold off on that; they won't be posted for at least two more hours.

Welcome!
