Edited my roster post to include an actual batting order instead of just listing the players in position order.

# ¿ Oct 12, 2015 00:05

Wow those bullpen ratings are uh, not good. Let's try and fix that.

Call up Earl Moore and send Freeman Hersh down. Move Wilbur Cooper to Setup and Kinder Ellis to Long Relief

# ¿ Oct 15, 2015 07:33

I didn't realize even only a 1 in Starting Pitchers in Short Rest would deny THE THORNTON LEE of so many starts. Adjust the Starting Pitchers on Short Rest slider to -1.

According to Monicro, Ruth was injured for pretty much the entire month so I'm not too worried about how that month went. I'm not gonna lose to a fuckin' Mets gimmick.

# ¿ Oct 21, 2015 04:45

Yaya: Nov 14, 2012; vancloober cablucks

I can't believe I provide Monicro Quiplash to play with everybody and he injures my star players like this.

Send Luke Appling to the DL because he's the one actually injured and not Nap, call up Ray Chapman and put Rabbit Maranville at SS for the month, I guess.

Amos Rusie isn't working out as the closer. Make Wilbur Cooper the closer and demote Amos Rusie to Setup Man.

NEW BATTING LINEUP:

1. Joe Jackson RF
2. Nap Lajoie 2B
3. Ted Williams LF
4. Babe Ruth DH
5. Gabby Hartnett C
6. George Kell 3B
7. Wally Berger CF
8. Jake Beckley 1B
9. Rabbit Maranville SS

# ¿ Oct 23, 2015 06:49

Yaya: Nov 14, 2012; vancloober cablucks

Take Luke Appling off the DL and place him back into the lineup. Send down Ray Chapman and Fred Luderus to the minors and call up Shanty Hogan because it's probably a good idea to have a catcher on the bench if Hartnett dies mid-game.

Batting Order:

1. Luke Appling SS
2. Nap Lajoie 2B
3. Ted Williams LF
4. Babe Ruth DH
5. Joe Jackson RF
6. Gabby Hartnett C
7. George Kell 3B
8. Wally Berger CF
9. Jake Beckley 1B

Let's win this fuckin' division.
