This is more realistic but I'm cool with either way.

So if you have someone like say Randy Johnson you can't have him pitch game 1,4 and 7 correct?

I know it's more realistic, but I'd kinda prefer to reset them. That was we don't have to have arguments/discussions about who can and can't start based on how long their previous series went.

You can't have Randy Johnson start 1, 4, and 7. But you can, on one occasion, take a starter and start him on two games rest. So that may be worth keeping in mind when you set your rotation.

Yes, you can. I'm not sure if the simulator is going to avoid using them though. That's why I'm planning on stocking up on relievers.

Lowe is one of my all time favorites, loved that guy.

Two things....

1. That pitch? Fucking filthy.

2. The crotch chop hahaha. Kinda love it. Especially with those douchey A's fans.

Miggy wanted a piece of him after that.

Grady Little? I'm managing to win, bro.

I guess I need to play around with that site. I figured I'd be able to designate guys to specific spots in the pen, IE closer, lefty specialist, set up man, etc.

It looks like it. I'm not sure how the automatic in game manager will handle them though.

When I'm playing around with the site it looks like the only thing you can really fuck with is your lineup and who starts. How the rest of your staff is used in relief roles looks to be up to the computer.

I lit off a firework in the middle of a crowd after that win. Someone caught the explosion on camera and it was on the front page of the student Umass Amherst newspaper the next day.

That is rad. Are you a UMass alum?

Need a lefty in the pen...

Yeah, you can't really designate relief pitcher priority or anything, but the simulator is pretty realistic about responding to the situations that arise. That's why I'm trying to get a fully stocked bullpen.

I figure I need a bullpen more than anyone else. With my home games being at Coors field, there's a good chance my starters get knocked around and out of the game early.

Coors is gorgeous just plays so weird.

I'm still bittersweet abut the 2007 World Series. Not because of the outcome (I was actually rooting for Boston) but ticketmaster had a malfunction and my buddy (die hard Red Sox fan) and I were shut out of tickets. He spent ridiculous amounts of money and went to game 4 though. Was also in attendance at game 4 and 5 last year in STL.

That is on my bucket list though....a WS game.

Nope. After two semesters they told me to take a hike.
