Why Did My Team Tank ** AKA I Can't Win At This Game **

Gents, been playing since covid started and thought I might get a handle on winning some games (after being so bad), but this team tanked the last 2 weeks. I have dropped a few players the last few days and probably was ill-advised. Can you guys let me know where I went wrong? Much appreciated!

First thing that jumps out is 23 players no longer on the roster. Aside from that a few smaller critiques…… you have to lean into the lefty power a little more. the park plays slightly better for lefties Mays wouldn’t be my first choice for my most expensive hitter. Gwynn probably would have been a 30hr bat as well. The other thing I would say is I’d either get all 4 day rest pitchers or all 3 day rest pitchers. If you’re committed to the 5 man rotation non * pitchers is the way to go

Thank you, where do I find 3 and 4 day rest stats? Is that s9 s8 s7?

Yes those are the pitchers' endurance ratings. The pitchers with an asterisk next to their endurance rating can start on 3 days rest, no asterisk means 4 days is needed.

Do you find it better to have s7 s8 or s9 players on the roster and spend less money on RP and an expensive closer or more on RP and less on CL?

I spend very little on my bullpens below $200. Usually don't even bother with a closer-type. I try and get as many innings out of my starters as possible.

Sorry, what's $200 is that in the 150M leagie or the $100M and thank you for the help!

$200 salary cap. Your cap is $80 so personally I would not be spending money on relievers.

Ah yes, do you feel the $200M cap is better than the $80M game? What's the separation between the two?

Not necessarily, it's just at that point you have so much money that you basically have to spend on the bullpen haha. But below $200 I prefer to spend on full-time players.
