PostWed Jul 21, 2021 1:51 pm

In our Barnstormers event 3 league 6, the caboose has lost its wheels and is reeling with a record of 34-98... OUCH !!!

But they have also the most atrocious +/- record I have ever seen at -344... Yep... -344... AY CARAMBA !!!

And there's still 30 games to go !!!

Please someone... put an end to this misery !!!

At the time of this post.
He does have Rick Wise in his starting rotation. Breezing along with an ERA and WHIP of 0.00

And his BP have posted half of his 34 wins to date.

Without his pen, he would really be in trouble....a record of 17 and 88.

He is close to the 10% threshold where we might look at taking over the team. The team makeup is just doesn't know the meaning of "bench" players. Every player is 1.5 mil and above. All his teams are dismal, just doesn't have team building skills. I can put my arm around him and have a "chat" but I don't think he will get any better. He is just one of those "chop-cut-slice-dice" trump apprentice (youre fired) players.

His event 2 team duplicated his event 1 stadium grouping too. :o

That's 25 more wins "chopped"

In the immortal words of Ruben Sierra about the Yankees [after he was traded], "you guys only care about winning".

Way to welcome a relative new comer to the hobby. The elitist attitude you guys show in this thread is just way out of bounds imo (even starting a thread to point out someone else's futility seems to me distasteful). Especially the quoted comment. Exactly how good does one need to be to play with all of you upper crusts of the ATG?

All due respect, but I disagree, (almost) everyone aims to be competitive. I don't forensics-wise about this guy, but you live by your choices. We all have choices on players we draft, drop, add etc. You gotta have backbone toughness if you want to do well. Not a big deal!

Hi jcheney,

As Hack said, I think we can assume everyone plays to win and no one is trying to be disrespectful--except maybe a salary dumper...

...Further to your point, the issue here is twofold:
1. One person's "tanking" is not permitted per the SOM 365 rules. Reason is if one person has sour grapes and is willing to throw away their $, fine, but the problem is it affects the integrity of gameplay for everyone else's $--that team is now an unevenly distributed walk-over. Without an assumption of fair play and acting in good faith, the league becomes a wash for everyone else.

2. This is part of a tournament, with stated rules of entry and play. This isn't arbitrary. And really, highlighting it provides an opportunity for the individual to recognize what they are doing is not considered acceptable or fair play, so if they didn't read the rules at least they may still get them explained to them.

Cheers
