 Pick Em Scores Update A sure fire to get your score messed up is to change your forums username in the middle of this contest. Also, GVOLTT was the only player to correctly pick both the Pandas and Catastrophes, but most of you got the Pandas, so it wasn't a big deal. By my count, we now have 4 Gauntlet updates and at least 3 playoff updates remaining, which means a total of 58 points are still in play. Nothing is certain yet. pre:Owner Score Zodiac5000 37 mks5000 25 Robert_Deadford 24 kw0134 21 mentholmoose 21 Beet 20 GVOLTT 18 oldskool 18 Monicro 17 CaptainYesterday 14 FairGame 12 Chilly McFreeze 10 Revenant Threshold 10 alpha_destroy 6 TheFlyingLlama 6 factorialite 4 tatankatonk 4

I have a feeling that if the Pandas don't get relegated they may upset the league with their new stadium. It's certainly effective although I can't put my finger on why since I have no idea how a stadium affects things this much.

It's the altitude. Stadiums in BBM are actually effected by how how far they are away from sea level (which is based on the city, which is usually custom in the case of Super-League teams). The higher you go, the thinner the air, the wonkier pitching gets, and the higher the dinger count goes. Which is why every team has around a 5+ ERA and Albert Pujols hit 20 HR in twice as many games. At least that's the general theory. I don't have the hard numbers.

Of course, that doesn't explain righty Albert Pujols treating the 400-ish left-center wall as his personal kiddy pool, unless his ability to hit to all fields is accounted for (which would result in a HR/FB ratio that's gotta be pretty obscene). It's not just the homers though, my team's averaging over .310 pretty consistently, and even the guys without much power are hitting real well. This seems to work great for Gauntlet durations against mediocre competition, but I'm pretty sure all the playoff teams would murder me in my own home over a full season. My pitching is just not bad enough to lose it all for me, but a couple of injuries would result in BP for my opponents.

Judging by the relative volume of the voices, whatever device used to record this conversation was hidden in Grinnblade's pockets, suggesting that Grinnblade knew something was happening regardless of what he says during the conversation with Belarussian President Lukashenko. GRINNBLADE: Mr. President, I wasn't expecting to see you here so soon! LUKASHENKO: You have failed, once again. You have three minutes to explain to me why I should not send you to jail, yes? GRINNBLADE: Mr. President, with all due respect -- LUKASHENKO: Tick, tock. GRINNBLADE: Well, for starters, I am forced to admit that being more than a half-mile above sea level may have hurt my chances. The thin air combined with my decision to use knuckleballers prominently in my rotation made for a disasterous pitching staff. LUKASHENKO: And? GRINNBLADE: I probably could have done a bit more managing of the team, perhaps rearranging the lineups more often to shake up slumps or give some of the players on my bench and in my minors a shot. In addition, not giving my management team any sort of direction in regards to strategies left the team directionless on the rare occasions where we did produce offense. LUKASHENKO: Hmph. You keep saying that this is "your" team, "your" roster, "your" stadium. You are mistaken. From the moment you asked for my help, this team, this stadium, belongs to glorious Belarus. And now I must turn this team around before it shames its motherland further, hmm? (There is an audible click from somewhere behind Lukashenko.) LUKASHENKO: Your services are no longer required. GRINNBLADE: Mr. President, please! (A large metallic groan drowns out the President's response, and then there is a commotion as the sound of a large piece of metal hitting concrete echoes. There is some muffled screaming, and then finally silence for a few moments.) GRINNBLADE: Heh. I guess I should have spent some of that maintenance money you gave me to fix these drat supports. Must have slipped my mind. You know, Mr. President, I've come to realize something these past few seasons. Idaho just ain't my place any more. People here say they want more of the big-city life, but when it's brought to them they don't utilize it. And I'm sick of trying to force-feed it to them. (A few metallic clangs echo as Grinnblade is apparently checking something on or in the fallen debris.) GRINNBLADE: The test charge worked wonderfully. So, Mr. President, I guess this is farewell. To you... (There is a beep very close to the microphone, and then the sound of a far-off series of explosions getting closer by the second.) GRINNBLADE: ... and the Idaho Potatoes. From the Super-League Office of Missing Owner Recovery Grinnblade has not been seen since the Kibbie Dome explosion. Given the information from this tape, one can surmise that he was frustrated with the location of his franchise, and if he does return, will probably select a different locale for his next Super-League team. From the desk of Super-League Commissar Smasher Dynamo God drat it, why won't he just die!

  So, how much farther can the Imperialists take this? It's hard to say. Their offense simply might not be good enough to handle the Losers' rotation. But if they can get even mediocre run support, their pitching just might get them to the finals.  The Losers are the Losers. Nothing more, nothing less. Don May posted:

Playoff Pick Em Scores Update By being one of only 2 participants to score more than the 1 point for picking the Losers to roll on to the finals, that scoundrel and likely Twins fan Zodiac builds on his lead. Someone's going to need a perfect score on the Landers/Cultists series to make this thing a contest. I can't promise timely score updates for this weekend's updates as I will be spending the weekend in a place with spotty internet access. pre:Owner Score Zodiac5000 42 mks5000 26 Robert_Deadford 25 kw0134 22 mentholmoose 22 Monicro 22 Beet 21 oldskool 19 GVOLTT 18 CaptainYesterday 15 FairGame 12 Chilly McFreeze 10 Revenant Threshold 10 alpha_destroy 6 TheFlyingLlama 6 factorialite 4 tatankatonk 4 As for that DLCS, 6 1-run ballgames out of 7. That's got to be unprecedented, and I owe my bullpen a hell of a lot for a strong performance in that series. Smasher: I assume Paige suffered a minor injury which is why he missed his second start in the DLCS. Is he all good to go for the league finals? Secondly, when do you need lineups/rotation changes for the league finals series? Sunday? Monday?

A minor mistake in your game summary as you claim the Losers won game 5 in the headline whereas the Imperialists won  Since I'm in the middle of educating myself on this most noble sport (so I stop screwing myself over) how important is it to split your hitters between Lefthanded and Righthanded ones? Same for pitching? Also is it worth to use a lesser hitter/pitcher of another hand rather than a slightly stronger one that may be another pitcher/hitter of the same kind? Also I might just need a hint in stadium contruction. A link to something is more than enough no need to waste your own time getting things into my thick skull.

CVE posted:A minor mistake in your game summary as you claim the Losers won game 5 in the headline whereas the Imperialists won In general, righty hitters do better against righty pitchers than lefties do against other lefties. However, with both it can vary from player to player (see: Ryan Howard vs Carlos Gonzalez from the left side, Jesus Montero vs literally anybody else from the right) so unless a player has a very extreme split its usually not worth getting too worked up about, though it is probably worth it to move them up and down the lineup vs whatever they're better/worse against. As an aside, Tony LaRussa was famous for going bonkers with pitching matchups even when the difference between a player's hitting vs lefties and righties wasn't too different. e: Also Jim Leyland has a huge hardon for having his lineup go righty-lefty-righty-lefty, even if it means putting a lesser hitter higher in the order. Do not do this. Monicro fucked around with this message at 15:53 on May 10, 2013 |

This isn't terrible - given the minor difference lineup order makes, preventing the opposing manager from putting in a lovely LOOGY and getting the platoon advantage for two batters is, based on statistical evidence, probably worth it. I mean, don't do anything ridiculous, but given normal lineups it's not unreasonable. Of course I do this all the time, so I may be biased.

CVE posted:A minor mistake in your game summary as you claim the Losers won game 5 in the headline whereas the Imperialists won Generally speaking, for starting pitchers, their hand doesn't matter. A lefty who really struggles against right-handed hitters isn't going to make it as a starting pitcher, so you can safely assume that any left-handed starter good enough to make the Super League is going to have a relatively small split. The bullpen is another story. Short relievers are generally expected to only face a few hitters at most, so it's possible to specialize a lot more. There's something called a LOOGY (Left-handed One Out GuY) who is really, really good against left-handed batters but terrible against righties. He'll come in and pitch to the other team's best left-handed hitter in a key situation, and then generally leave the game again the moment a right-hander shows up. This is why Jim Leyland alternates L-R, as Monicro said: so the LOOGY is only useful for one batter, and the opposing team has to use several relievers to get out of a tight spot (meaning maybe they'll run out of pitchers later in the game). For hitters, left-handed hitters tend to have a bigger split than right-handed hitters. If your preferred starter is a lefty and isn't on the Ted Williams/Babe Ruth level, it might be useful to pair him with a comparably skilled right-hander. Using the Landers for examples: Starting pitching: the Landers happily use nothing but right-handed starters; we don't worry about not having a left-handed starter. Relief pitching: the Landers went out of our way to draft Craig Lefferts a few seasons ago, even though there were better players on the board. We didn't have a left-handed reliever at the time, and Lefferts was notorious at the time for being hard on left-handed hitters (who hit just .200/.263/.212 against him in 1984). Batting: the Landers use Will Clark as our preferred starting first baseman. Clark is a left-handed hitter who had great success during his career against right-handed pitching (.311/.400/.525) but was merely decent against left-handers (.289/.349/.441). When a left-handed pitcher starts against us, we move Nomar Garciaparra to first base and bring in Eddie Joost at shortstop. Not only is Joost a superior defensive player, he also bats right-handed and had a successful career against left-handed pitching (.280/.428/.445). Garciaparra is one of those weird guys who hits the same against lefties and righties, so he's actually really well-suited for that role, too. Can't tell you too much about stadiums, except for a couple basics: -Right-handed batters generally hit the ball to left field, and vice versa. This means, for example, if you have a lot of right-handed power hitters, having a shorter distance to the left field wall will help them hit more home runs. -The higher the altitude, the further the ball travels. Colorado's stadium was notorious for this, as they built the stadium up in the mountains. Dante Bichette was generally good for about 15 home runs a season until he started playing for Colorado and began hitting 30-40 a season. -Artificial turf causes ground balls to travel faster, making them harder to field and more likely to become hits (and sometimes even get past outfielders for extra bases). Artificial turf was fairly common in the National League in the 70s and 80s, which is part of why a lot of NL teams from that era tend towards speed/contact guys instead of power hitters. Mogul also tracks a bunch of smaller things, but it's fairly safe to ignore them. One thing that seriously affects real baseball but not Mogul is the height of the actual fences. That's why Mogul has trouble with Fenway Park, which is famous for its abnormally tall left-field fence (about 11.3 meters; a typical baseball fence is less than 2 meters). Hope that helps a little.

Expansion Cup 9: Larkin League Championship Series The Following is a best of seven series for the title of Expansion Cup 9 Larkin League Champion.  While certainly with the issues at Catcher and 2nd Base, the Killer Mikes are built with talent and offense. The jewel of their lineup is two Mel Otts and a Stan Musial, providing a trio of two of the best lefty bats to ever grace baseball. However, their pitching has been in a sore spot since the half-season mark. The Akabira Bowl, the Killer Mikes' home turf, will host games 1, 2, 6, and 7 of the Larkin League Championship.  GVOLTT is the only one of the four postseason team managers to be a fresh face for the Super League. The Connecticut Thunderstorms, like the Killer Mikes, get by on okay, but not great pitching, and a lefty-dominated, high-OBA, high-slugging offense. While certainly not equipped with Stan Musial or Mel Ott, they have plenty of homerun potential to spare, and their pitching seems much more consistent than the Killer Mikes'. The Thunderstorms' home turf, Tesla Stadium, will host games 3, 4, and 5 of the Larkin League Championship. Certainly, the favoritism is on tatankatonk, a Super League veteran, but the Thunderstorms have a decent setup going. Let's see how it shakes up. quote:CONNECTICUT BRINGS THE STORM TO AKABIRA Box Score  quote:LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE, CONNECTICUT UP 2-0 Box Score  quote:CONNECTICUT THUNDERS ONWARD, CHAMPIONSHIP WIN IMMINENT Box Score  quote:WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS: FIVE RUN RALLY KEEPS MIKES HOPES ALIVE Box Score  quote:CLEAR SKIES AHEAD FOR THUNDERSTORMS Box Score

Super-League IX: Sucked and died yet again! Teams Used Super-League III 1919 Chicago White Sox 1979 New York Yankees 1982 California Angels Super-League V 1905 Cleveland Naps 1936 Cincinnati Reds 1949 St. Louis Cardinals 2008 New York Mets Super-League IX 2004 New York Yankees 1990 Toronto Blue Jays 1912 Cleveland Naps An Apology from Smasher Dynamo You know, I'm not sure that I have another good story for the Forgettables in me, and with G. Pope long gone, I feel like I might as well use this opportunity to apologize for the following obits: Albany Pessimists I apologize for the fact that I clearly did not care about that obit at all. Baltimore Blind Men I apologize for not thinking this one through at all. Also the fact that the very first joke in the obit is premised on Vrikkian having an ongoing LP, which has not been true since 2011. Boston Crabs I apologize for the bit about Northampton, MA, although I maintain that is the sort of thing that Mike Greenwell would do. As for the Super-League IV, I apologize for whatever the hell I was trying to go for. Clearly, if extradimensional beings were interested in the fate of the Super-League, they would have chosen a more robust team than the Crabs to do their bidding. As for the Super-League VI obit...I apologize for nothing! If anything, we need MORE of Dr. Mike Remlinger's autobiography! Even if Adam Dunn has become basically a dumber version of the character I created for Dr. Mike. Boston Skyhawks I apologize for the mediocre obit for a great team. Cali/Atlantis Unspecifieds I apologize for creating a team with a hook I could never quite master. Chicago Blood Sox I apologize for never getting around to finishing this obit. More broadly, I apologize for the Blood Sox being in the Super-League in the first place. Cologne Emperors I apologize for the obit I did before that ending up becoming moot when the Emperors survived on a fluke. But it was bad enough that I was glad to see them live. Deadwood Cutthroats I apologize for loving up the link so that it doesn't even go to the Cutthroats' obit, which isn't very good to begin with. Then again there was no way I was going to be able to ape David Milch for an entire obit, okay? Des Moines Dervishes I apologize for Beet being a cool dude who I have never given a single good gimmick to. And the obits haven't been pretty either. Detroit Riots/Detroit Original Riots/Norfolk Splinter Cells I apologize for much the same reasons as the Dervishes. East St. Louis Electrics I apologize for not knowing that echopapa would become a Nostalgia Critic-type personality a few months after he left the Super-League. That certainly would have changed the obit. EV-IL Corp. Villains I apologize for all of my wounds being self-inflicted. Falmouth Clippers I apologize for not working as hard as I should have on this obit. Framingham Fillies I apologize for the Framingham Fillies. Greenbrier Orchids I apologize for aping the Atlantis Aquamen obit for greatly diminishing returns. Hill Valley Biffs I apologize for Timecop. It was all Timecop's fault. Jerk City Philosophers/Jackson Jerks I apologize for not being able to come up with anything for the first obit, especially since I'd just re-appropriate the gimmick for the Landers a few seasons later. I don't apologize for the comic, though. That was neat. Juneau Juggernauts I apologize for...NOTHING! I APOLOGIZE FOR NOTHING! That was the obit you deserved, factorialite! Kolkata Indians I apologize for being lazy. Leprechauns I apologize for making cbx's girlfriend sad. But Johnny Hopp: Baseball Bunny still died of myxomatosis. Lovable Losers I apologize for a number of inaccuracies regarding my summaries of the Mighty Ducks movies. Mid-Northern Suicidal Tendencies I apologize for not just making your obit a suicide note. That would have been better than the poo poo I came up with. Mudville Masochists I apologize for being a lovely writer. Also, that you had a Zack Ryder avatar. That must have been tough for you, weekly font. New New York Fighting Mongooses I apologize for this obit in general. Who the gently caress wants to hear from Bill Buckner about anything? Omaha Forgettables I apologize for writing myself into a corner. Twice. Oxbridge Mathematicians I apologize for giving myself a C-. That was clearly too generous. Oyster Cult Blues I apologize for still being a lovely writer. Petaluma Goose Eggs I apologize for not converting this to a CYOA. Postmodernists I apologize for basically everything in every obit or writeup I have ever done for my team. Poughkeepsie Superbas I apologize for thinking I'm much more clever a writer than I am. Queens Mercuries I apologize that I included a link to Brooklyn Bruiser singing "Don't Stop Me Now" in the obit. That was wrong of me, and I have injured all mankind because of it. Rochester Generics I apologize for being a lovely lawyer. Seattle Suicides I apologize for being unable to patch together an obit, and instead trying to pass off three half-formed ideas as my tribute to your team. Seattle SuperSonics I apologize for Koop not coming back! Please, Koop! Come back! It'll be different this time! Senadores de San Juan I apologize for me phoning this in because I don't know anything about San Juan or Puerto Rico. I still don't. Spokane Air Raids I apologize for never actually pulling the obit contest submissions into one post. St. Paul Bearers I apologize for wasting everyone's time with this marathon of mediocrity. Tigres de San Juan I apologize for being an rear end in a top hat about this. These by name, and all others. Amen.

I enjoyed it as well, though admittedly I don't know as much about Super League History as I ought to.
