Here is some interesting info from the 9 Sims that WM just ran. I think he used your current rosters so if you made a bunch of changes....

As expected we did the worst job of managing our talent. :oops: Guess we should have just figured out what settings Hal uses and let 'er go. 8)

Looks like Shrink did the best job of out managing Hal. +13!

Interesting to see how balanced the Central was in the sims.

This post is a thank you to you guys for putting up with my whining for the past couple of weeks. Hopefully it was at least a little entertaining. That was my goal. Gotta do something make it fun when you're stinking this bad!!! :shock:

Joe - What would be really interesting is how the predicted wins from our rating system compare to the sims and the standings.

[nythawk129921]

well at least according to the sims my team should have fared a little better than they did :?

[joethejet]

I'll see what I can do. The problem is that I'm not going to take the time to do ratings for everyone in each park and I don't know how much guys have changes their teams. So, I'm not sure it'll be fair.

I don't think I've made one change to my team yet - and it is a little late now ... :oops:

[joethejet]

Anyone figure out how Jeep is winning so many games with Heath Bell pitching over 105 innings? :? :? :o

Jet

[Jeepdriver]

I kinda take offense to that statement. :roll:

[joethejet]

No offense intended, but Heath isn't exactly Mariano Rivera! ;)

I added the JTJ/WM ratings above. WM didn't put lineups in for the East or the West so that may be why you're seeing anomalies (or not)

I can show you another championship team of mine with Heath Bell. I could also point out that Sandy who has the 2nd best record in this league has Mike Burns, less than a Mil, with 95 innings,,and then there's numerous other examples I could show you of teams with a similar pitcher with 100 innings whom won championships. To me it sounded like a cheap shot saying "how does Jeep have that many wins". How could Jeep's team be "that" good. Sounds like sour grapes to me.

[joethejet]

:oops: :oops: :oops:

Sorry Jeep, definitely not sour grapes, I was just very surprised at how many IP he had pitched. You're right, there were several others I noticed too. Didn't mean to pick on you.

You gotta admit however, the guy hasn't exactly been sterling. He's got a 4.78 ERA with a 1.74 whip and somehow he's 7-2! :shock:

[quote:29bd5cdb26]How could Jeep's team be "that" good[/quote:29bd5cdb26]

No, what I meant was, how good would Jeep's rating be if he wasn't getting a boat load of IP from Bell! To me, you're good enough to win *despite* getting that many IP from a $1.05 pitcher!

I meant it the exact opposite of how you took it!

I guess I could have said just as easy, how is Silver winning so many games with Astacio pitching 117 IP with 5.45 ERA and a 1.44 whip! :? In fact, I said as much to Wineman on the phone the other day.

You guys are winning despite wearing those guys out.

My sincere apologies if I offended you. I certainly didn't mean to! :oops:
