I hope I am wrong

PostThu Apr 30, 2015 4:51 am

This latest group of problems is making me worry that som has a virus. Caching problems, card images randomly not displaying, game recaps garbled...

Particularly the last one, I could see if the play by play file got corrupted and the text phrases the game summaries use became corrupted, but the player names also are messed up.

REALLY hoping I am wrong. A virus could keep things down a while and who knows what the recovery point will be.

Sorry to be a pessimist, just having a BAD feeling about this one. Fingers crossed that it isn't a virus.

I would tend to blame technical incompetence before a virus. We still dont' have a netplay game that doesn't freeze up at least once a game on average!

They seemed to recover pretty smoothly, glad to be incorrect!!!

That commercial makes me laugh every time! It also reminds me of my sister, who at 45 takes facebook MUCH too seriously! :lol:

Hmmm, am I the only one here who did not have a problem with a single team?

I suspect there may have been a certain character in someone's team name that may have caused this.

Now that is an interesting theory. Any suggestions/hints at characters that might be the source? :lol:

Robert, I'm really puzzling over the lineup that was used in my third game last night. I've been busy with work a lot lately, so I hadn't been paying too close attention to my teams. But Iooked at this third game last night, and I can't figure out why Hal was using the lineup he did.

My only injury going into game 111 was Pennington, who isn't on my lineup card vs RHP at all. So for all practical purposes, it was a fully healthy lineup going into the game. Rasmus got injured during the game, but that obviously shouldn't affect the starting lineup. (I checked the injuries using that full year injury list). (By the way, it's also strange that Pennington's injury was in game 110, but his injury is shown AFTER the injuries to the guys who were injured in game 111):

Screen copy of injury list, with injuries prior to game 85 omitted:
Owings, Chris SS 4 1.43M Game 85 1 additional day
Pennington, Cliff SS 5 2.55M Game 85 1 additional day
Pennington, Cliff SS 5 2.55M Game 90 1 additional day
Vogt, Stephen 1B 2 4.38M Game 91 1 additional day
Vogt, Stephen 1B 2 4.38M Game 93 1 additional day
Hernandez, Enrique CF 1 2.35M Game 88 6 additional days
Vogt, Stephen 1B 2 4.38M Game 100 8 additional days
Kelly, Joe P - 2.45M Game 111 3 additional days
Rasmus, Colby CF 3 2.44M Game 111 10 additional days
Pennington, Cliff SS 5 2.55M Game 110 15 additional days

My lineup card was set only vs RHP (I didn't bother with the vs LHP):
1 Betts, Mookie (R) DH - 1L .241 .322 .356 .291 .368 .444
2 Gardner, Brett (L) RF 2(-2)e2 1R .244 .312 .419 .256 .327 .422
3 Vogt, Stephen (L) 1B 3e8 2R .245 .271 .361 .279 .321 .431
4 Posey, Buster (R) C 2(-1)e2 E .229 .281 .363 .311 .364 .490
5 Gennett, Scooter (L) 2B 3e14 9R .344 .380 .553 .289 .320 .434
6 Chisenhall, Lonnie (L) 3B 4e27 1R .258 .315 .424 .280 .343 .427
7 Hernandez, Enrique (R) SS 4e16 4R .217 .276 .393 .248 .321 .421
8 Blanco, Gregor (L) LF 1(-1)e2 2L .287 .365 .525 .260 .333 .374
9 Rasmus, Colby (L) I CF 3(0)e2 1R .225 .282 .449 .225 .287 .448

As I've said before, Pennington isn't listed in the lineup card, so his injury (the only injury at the beginning of game 111) shouldn't matter to the lineups.

Anibal Sanchez was the opposing pitcher - RHP.

So, given that there were no injuries at the start of the game, for the listed players, Hal should have followed the above lineup precisely!!!!!

Instead, this is what Hal did:

http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/game/426491/1332

Hal is playing Owings at shortstop, even though I had Hernandez slated for SS! (You might think I was stupid to do that, but that's a different issue). But there is no need for an injury replacement, since Pennington wasn't even in the lineup card!!!!!!!!

As other Hal lineup changes, Hal moved Betts into RF (instead of DH), moved Hernandez into DH (instead of SS), moved Posey to 1b (instead of Vogt), put Rivera in at catcher (instead of Posey, but effectively replacing Blanco, who was scheduled to play LF, but got deleted from the lineup card.

It almost seems like Hal thinks my lineup card is blank (and then figured out his own lineup), when it actually is right there in the system, at least vs RHP.

It's important to know that I haven't changed this lineup card in a while. Maybe when one of the server glitches happened, Hal "forgot" about my lineup instructions. I think I set them at the beginning of this league season.

Robert, others, any thoughts? Sounds like a glitch to me.

I'm not so much upset - just puzzled and worried.
