I find that HAL manages my pitchers best when I barely check anything - with the exception of closer and setup man and the innings I want them. I basically leave the SP's alone unless they are between 5-9 balance on 1 side and the other side is horrible. Then I will check avoid the weak side and quick hook. I NEVER check slow hook on anyone. I find when I do, they will stay in for 13 hits and 10 runs sometimes.

Robert, I too do not check much at all. Like you I find the less checked the better. I will limit the cheaper relievers depending on match-ups for that day. Few slow hooks if any.

I only use the "Slow Hook" for the stud pitchers only...especially when that pitcher is tired...but is still much better than any of my relievers. Anyway, I figure that HAL must have taken Clemen's age into consideration when he pulled him after 5 innings. It's a long season!! :?

wife does when i get home from work?
since. on ALL of my teams, I never have a pitcher that can pitch, I PUT SLOW hook into ALL the relief pitchers and QUICK hook into all the starting pitchers - that way, i figure, - my slow hook guys will only go 3 - 4 innings - AND - my fast hook guys will only go 3-4 innings!!!!!

The Eastern Division!! :shock: You guys are all "do or die" up there! 4 series=4 sweeps.

I got an unlikely road sweep with Ray King picking up two wins! :shock: I bet he doesn't get another win all season. 8) Clemens, Pettite, and Rivera are all bugging Ray for pitching advice this morning!

Even though I don't like getting swept (obviously) the East Division gives me a chuckle. Every team is 3-0 at home and 0-3 on the road. :shock:

A three game sweep for the Swarmers, despite being outhit in EACH game of the series. How embarrasing (for me... :oops: ). My team BA did skyrocket to .175. I'm lucky to have won a game, much less three. I'm still willing to count them in the win column, but very sheepishly.

0-6 now ... 6 losses down, only 84/94 more to go ... :(

Another bizarre (and wonderful) night for me in GBBR. Two ninth inning rallies contribute to another sweep.

Big Papi - .226 0 HR, 1 RBI, Dan Johnson, .069 BA, Furcal .039, Abreu .167, Michaels .184.

And I'm in first place? What next, Tom dominating the league?? Oh, ah, never mind.

Something has to give. I should be swept by Jeep here any time now.... :roll:
