NLD 34 - Here we go again

Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to every one! I'm thankful for the NLD and all the chat that goes on here. That's the best part of playing this game if you ask me. If I had one wish is that more of the league participated more often.

Corky,

So, even by your 10 year standards Walker is high at home and is certainly high on the road. Your stats were playing 100% of the games at home right? (Sorry I didn't see your numbers earlier)

As for Encarnacion v Walker: You're right, they are closer than many would think. Walker has more true hits, Encarn more BB and more BPHR. I have their It will be interesting to see how many clutch hits Walker and Encarn get/lose over the course of the season. in Coors only I have Encarn with a 1104 offense rating (not injury adjusted) and Walker with a 1044. Very close actually.

Have a great day today guys.

Thanks for the ratings Joe...I thought Walker might be a bit higher than Encarnacion but your right...either way its pretty close.

My stats were not technically all at home, but all team parks had Coors as home (works better for the sim results) so 100% of games played were in Coors. So in reality home/away numbers should be close.

Two more dingers tonight for Walker....on the road. He thanks Semper for the bulletin board material.

Walker should be *much* worse on the road. Not sure what you're saying there.


Meanwhile, we're a bit snakebit. Rodney already has 5 BS and lost tonight on a T-rating. He's a -3 hold. and a single off of his card. Most of those BS's are from his card. Wow, that's not easy to do.

And, we had 2 outs int he 9th before McCutchen hits one out. He's good and it was off his card so not really bad luck but...... dang!

Where is the justice?

I get swept again by BigM's team. This time at home where my squad has played well. The games weren't even close. Kipnis goes 2-13 seeing nothing but RHPs. Ironically, BigM's 9-11 against LHSPs with 4 of those 9 wins coming against my squad.

To add insult to injury, Neil Walker hits two more HRs with one coming from a 2-4 roll with a HR 1-1 split.

Sorry for the confusion Joe....you were asking me about my Sims so I thought you were talking about Walkers road stats their. So yep, he is a bit above road projections, but don't forget the nice hitter parks we have in the central.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving day....now back to the grind!

Corky,

You're looking good in the ATG semi-finals!

I hope so...if i could keep Griffey healthy I'd be ok. He's only played 38 of 54 games and is now out for the next 10...

Where is the justice?

LOL Justice? In SOM? We don't need no justice... We don't have to show you any stinkin' justice.....

A first place team made a few roster moves made last night

Even more surprising is Kipnis matched Walker with a HR and a triple - only 17 more HRs to go

The Goldeyes NLD have moved up a few notches since grabbing Alex Gordon


My Steve Swisher decided to lose his MoneyBall touch going 2 for 35 over the last 10 games. Of course, his bat goes cold whilst Melky serves out his 9 game HGH suspension

Can anyone sell me a few runs? Cliff Lee needs them.

Steve Swisher?

First place team wouldnt have had to make a couple moves today if Chipper freaking Jones wasnt hitting a buck fricking 90 with an ob of 269 and slugging 328 after 170+ abs and 2 extended injuries.If Chipper was hitting anywhere near his card I would have been a little more patient with Belt but I have to get a little more offense out of someone so we shall see if a Dirks/Lucroy platoon helps me any.It is a big gamble having to play Moss at 1B so it should be interesting. And Shields wasnt really doing much for me every 4th game either so I figured it was time to make a change
