Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Always like doing something crazy every now and then..

All 4's in the field and big strikeout pitchers...

I predict 70-92

curious why you chose Shea which favors #HR power hitting lefties?

whew!!
I don't think I'd have the stomach for that...
Contact WILL be made and even with the "K" pitchers I'd be
surprised if the staff doesn't give up about 16-18 base hits per game.

When putting draft list together, I had to figure out which guys I pretty well knew I'd get. They happened to LH hitters reliant on the #HR. The one guy I did want, but didn't get, was Babe Herman. I offered a helluva deal for him, but never even got a response lol.

I also knew that most pitching staffs are RH dominated so I though this park might give me the best chance to make a run at .500.

I'll have to check and see what the record is, if at all, for unearned runs. I'm sure I'll make a good run (pun intended) at that.

you did not get a reply bc Herman is one of the guys I like to have on my team...I also did not have the room to get a tag team partner for Kal Daniels nor to upgrade Don Sutton from his low salary...or at least I didn't think I did...

this coming from a guy who is just starting out...so I may not know what I am talking about at all

its always courteous to respond even if its a screw you. be sure to keep us updated. i've seen this done before except all one Fielding up the middle. CF, 2nd and ss.

It's all good Coach! Good luck to you!

I'll definately keep everyone posted. I'm hellbent on seeing this through till the end.

I'm also curious to see how my Morgan / Frias platoon at 2B works out

Yes, scorehouse it is. My intentions were not rudeness....my mistake

Maybe I am missing something, but I am pretty sure big strikeout pitchers or groundball pitchers will get the exact same disadvantage from the 4s in the field. All pitchers have the same distribution of X-results whether every other roll is a k or a gb or a fb. The net result is that all the fielders will have much lower fielding percentages (they are going to have fewer balls hit to them so those x-result miscues will mean a higher percentage of errors) but it shouldn't affect the pitchers at all.

Am I wrong? It happens..alot.

Yup. 30 X-chances per side I believe
