good loving lord how do they manage to gently caress up all of the things all of the time :ughh:

because they wrote this a long time ago, and everyone who knows anything about it probably left, and it's being kept out there purely to make money and gets basically no support or attention paid to it by anyone because it's probably a hated product internally

Kinda excited to be tied with AV at the top of the NL since I've had a series with all 5 other .500+ pythag teams in the NL so far. I almost made it through that stretch without dropping a series, but atheistdeals had to win 3 one-run games :P

this is why you make a decision and then make moves based around it and then die with it for better or worse

what i'm saying is trade your good players to me

Oh, there's plenty of other balls in the sea. Plus, you're not very talented.

Seven unearned on one error. Yeah, okay.

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

There are a couple of questionable managerial choices (I wouldn't be starting Volstad over Soriano or Guzman [and I'd try to make sure they respectively start against teams that skew poorly against lefties or righties]) but by and large you're just having some poo poo luck right now. Ramirez, Sweeney and Outman all being poo poo is dragging your offense down and York/High are not going to be as bad as they've been all season.

That team is fairly scary on the whole and I would not jump ship any time soon.

I had already moved Volstad to the bullpen a few days ago when I came to the same conclusion. I feel confusingly snakebit across seasons, which is why I keep wondering if I'm doing something fundamentally wrong.

Really he's closer to a higher durability Macbeth Jordan, but he's been out of the league 15 seasons so that's not a helpful example.
