After a sizzlin start I'm struggling big time. Must put an end to said slump tonight.

[quote:b1d6d0da57]I have a team that started w/ a 4-17 record while hitting .300, .400, .500 (BA, OBP, SLG) w/ positive net runs!! You have to wonder how *stuff* like that is even possible. [/quote:b1d6d0da57]

Wow, that takes talent like only you have JPav! ;) That would *not* be fun, but at least it's early.

Spock,

I'm not sure that Hal uses the lineups during the game.

Renteria must have read this thread, he went out and got 4 hits in today's (real) game. Now I need to think of a way to talk about the rest of my starters......

JPav,

well, you got the best of me last night in some close games. Hopefully we'll return the favor down the road! :P

Spock,

In my other league last night, I had Mackowiak come in for Barrett (Martinez was hurt) to catch. Near as I can tell, it was a "defensive" replacement because I had "Replace on Defense" set for Barrett. The game went 14 innings so Mack was back there for six innings! :shock: Probably would be a surprise for him! ;) The good news is I don't think he gave up any SBs.

I've since changed the setting on Barrett! :oops:

Jet,

Yeah, I almost took Pedro Feliz off as a def. replacement, but he is so much better at 3b, I do want him for late inning defense there. I guess it'll be a fine line if I don't change it. I think he ended up in left field one game also.

Last night's Phillies game, Manuel unloaded the bench to try to win the game, and it was funny hearing the announcers say that the minor leaguer they called up would play short, and I was thinking "What about Feliz, he can play it?"
Sure enough, the left Dobbs in to play 3rd, moved Feliz over to short. Turns out he was a shortstop in the D.R. So SS will be on his card next year too lol

[joethejet]

Yeah, Feliz played SS for the Giants a couple of times too.

I wouldn't change Feliz's settings, but check the settings for your catcher.

All I can offer you down the road is pain, suffering and bubble gum.

Ooops. I'm all out of bubble gum.



:P :P :P

[Jeepdriver]

Back in the game with a sweep last night. And I did it w/o Howard who was injured the whole series. Salty took over the slack with a cool 4-homer game! 8-)

This league is very tight right now.

[joethejet]

Salty went deep 4 times?!?? :shock: Someone was hot with the dice!

JPav,

Oh, thanks a lot. I was looking forward to that bubble gum. :( ;) :P

HAL is getting on my nerves. So many hitters who aren't hitting. 2 7 game losing streaks.
