HAL's love affair with Frank Lacorte
Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2012 11:31 pmHowdy,
We're talking 70s, here. My 1st place team has two good relievers in R. Eastwick and Doug Bird; both having thier '76 (best) cards. I've got Eastwick tapped as my "closer", with Doug Bird unspecified as to a bullpen role.
HAL is reluctant to employ Doug Bird in tied games or when we're down by just a run. Instead, HAL opts for Frank Lacorte or worse-Bo McLaughlin!
Lacorte isn't pitching [i:5903c2c882]that[/i:5903c2c882] bad, but he's no Doug Bird ('76)! Lacorte is losing game after game. How can I get HAL to tap into Doug Bird in close games? My 4 game lead is down to a tie for 1st, due largely to HAL's love affair with Lacorte! Help!
