Does this mean Philly missed the playoffs again? Haven't checked the standings in a bit.

I'm available all weekend. Let's do this!

[Z]

We finished with a 85-77 record, which I'll take. I was hoping we'd win a few more games, but I had us pegged for the 86-89 win range at the beginning of the year.

Now Jerry Brown will be gone, and we'll see what we do with Fernando Hernandez.

Tom Hau, Twinkle Toes Alvarez, Travis Fisher, and Ignacio Zavala are essentially locks to be in our rotation next year, so we have at most one spot to fill.

Spoiler

I took the safe route. I benched my starters the third game of each series and didn't pitch my #1-#3 SPs the final week. To me, having everyone rested and my rotation in order was more important than getting the #3 seed. Maybe it wasn't the best move but I stand by it. Finishing only two games back of Death Valley, I might have been able to catch the Scorpions had I gone all out...but the last thing I wanted was a Lonnie Coleman game to decide the division. I like where I'm at. Bring on Batavia.

On question...how do we account for injuries? I have two players on my Playoff Eligible roster hurt and out for this series. Is there a way to add players or do I go into this series 23/25?

Ended up losing catcher Dave D'Orio this week despite trying to keep my guys fresh...damnit.

[BradZ]

Yes, we made it to .500!

Baby steps.

I got an email on 10/08 saying we can set our playoff roster...but we simmed to in-game October 9th...did we miss the day that teams with injuries could make changes?

I can't look in game, but from what I remember you have your playoff roster of 25 and then you have another designation of playoff roster eligible players. I *think* you should be able to pull from that pool of eligible players to replace injured players currently on your 25 man playoff roster, but don't hold me to it.

[Pat]

The problem is the pool of players that are playoff eligible is everyone who is on your roster (or on the DL) on September 1st. The issue we have, is we don't stop for that sim so teams can add players from their 40 man roster. Therefore, our pool of players is just those players at that current moment...

I thought in the past we did something to help with injured players...maybe not.

[Matt]

I simmed to the start of the playoffs like always.

Diaz is hurt for me. I can move him to and out of the playoff roster. They left Turney out. I moved Guit off and moved Turney in.

I do like seeing you panic though.

[Matt]

Also it says on the main screen, "You may make roster moves between playoff series. Injury replacement spots are available."

I assume this means that you may make roster moves between playoff series and that injury replacement spots are available.

Yes, between playoff series. As in...we can't make injury replacement moves now because the games start today.

[Pat]

It's all good. Something I didn't know about otherwise I would have posted before the sim...Just a reminder for the future.

I'll be ready for the battle with 23 players. No problem.

[Matt]

It also says on the main page "The 7 game series in the Wild Card against the Washington Bats is about to start. Good luck."

I believe this means that the 7 game series in the WC against the Bats is ABOUT to start.

[Matt]

And I'm totally just messing around with you. We'll figure it out so it's fair.

I just feel like we've had this issue before and there was an easy workaround. Who do you want on the Playoff Roster?

If worse comes to worse we can just resim it. Brad hasn't updated his files yet so he can always sim until the end of the regular season. I honestly don't think that is the issue though.

[BradZ]

Ok...so how do I go about replacing my two injured players?

When I try to drag and drop players to add to the Eligible for Playoff Roster section, nothing happens. When I try to drop them onto the playoff roster it says: "Could not put player on playoff roster. Either the roster is full or this player is ineligible for playoff roster, (or as an injury replacement, in which case he must have been part of your organization prior to roster expansion).

Not sure what to do...I'm trying to add two players who have been with my organization all year, on major league contracts, and have been up and down from BLB to Triple-A throughout the season.

Did you remove the injured folks first? Or are they still sitting on the 25?
