NLD35 - The NLD Lives on!

Not only do those at bats likely not matter much but there is a good possibility they wouldn't even get an AB subbing in bottom of 8th on road or top 8th at home.

As far as pitching goes I'd need to know more on how it's rated. Is that regardless of home ballpark? If I had the same staff in a pitchers park would my rating be higher? My rankings are strict to my Ballpark.

All the rankings are for the schedule you're playing so, yes, your pitching would be much better in a different park.

Hi Guys,

Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. I wanted to update you on the situation. Please say a prayer for my Mom and our family. My Mom passed tonight. It was very sudden. Just over a week from confirmation to her leaving us. Cancer can be a very quick and decisive evil.

We are missing her tonight and it is hard to realize that she no longer graces us with her presence. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Heaven added an angel tonight.

Love you Mom and miss you already.

Hi Joe

I'm so sorry for your family's loss. Words can't quite fill in for this loss. We know she put in you a place to ready to meet your next challenges without her.

With regards,
John

Ok, no time today for comparisons to the hitting/pitching etc, but figured you guys would want to see the ratings. Feel free to comment...

According the ratings:
JTJ and Stoney should be the best, Hawk, AT the worst.
The East averages 200+ point rating advantage on the other two divisions. That's a lot.
East has four of the top five rated teams!
Central is completely balanced with barely enough rating difference to say that Big A is better than GB ratings-wise.

All I have time for today.

My guys posted the ratings on the clubhouse door - it seems to be working.

Thanks John, All the kind words we've received have made this a little easier.

Yeah, and, predictably, my team does worse as soon as I post the ratings.

Joe

Do your ratings take into account the L/R splits?

I've not seen a league where I've faced an equal number of LH & RH pitchers. That said, I might be okay with my expensive bench of players. Unfortunately, I didn't grab the better platoon players.

Yes, I figured out what percent each team would face a LHSP and factored that into the ratings.

Yes, I figured out what percent each team would face a LHSP and factored that into the ratings.

After the live draft, I used 44.5% vs. LH SPs to build my team - that's the highest I've ever used. My "actual" is at 49.5% vs SPs and 46.5% vs. all pitchers. I'm hoping that % holds up, since my team is only so-so vs. RHSPs.

Nice to see Salty miss another 10 games. He's missed 32 out of the last 52 games.

Ouch lost to Stoney in 23 innings because my 1 SS couldn't turn a DP.

Tough series, we outscore him by 8 runs in the three games, but lose two. Back into struggling mode, this team is up, it's down.
