2023 Regular Season SIM 8 Complete - Next SIM Friday 9/22

[nelmsm]

3-3 week for the Brawlers and I think every loss was by 1 run, 2 to Philly and 1 to Baltimore. That one to Baltimore was tough as Cooper only gave up 3 hits but one of them was a home run and that was the only run scored in a 1-0 loss. I need to drink more....or maybe less, I'm not sure.

Really would open up the trade market thats for sure. I'm not in the IL, but do you owners actually look at the pitchers hitting ratings?? Just curious.

As for the recent trend of the DL dominance , its what it is a tend. Sure it will swing back.

I prefer not paying someone to be my DH. Rather have the extra arm in the pen. I like the DH in real life but find it boring in a sim league. I left the DL for a reason.

I go back and forth on this. I like that the leagues are "different" but the IL is definitely had a disadvantage when it comes to team building.

As for pitchers hitting ratings...I will often look, but it's about as significant as the pitchers defense and ability to hold runners. Unless you are Dave Teel, there isn't anyone that has really shown they can hit that well. Sacrifice bunt is somewhat important, but again, I'm not going to pass on a guy I think is the best pitcher on the board if he has 3-2-3-2-3 hitting ratings and 4 on sac bunt.

IL needs the DH.

Agreed. Glad that my favorite MLB team is in the AL because NL baseball is antiquated shit and I don't think I could make it an entire season.

If Indy wasn't open at the time I came back I probably would've chilled on the waiting list until a DL team was available, to be honest.

I think interleague made it actually more fun since 2 sims a season it was a nice change up to have to worry about your "other" lineup. Now....yeah sort of took the fun out of it.

I kinda like not having interleague, actually. Helps stoke the flames of the rivalry between leagues.

Its like the DL are the T-Birds and the IL are the Pink Ladies.

I hated changing lineups.

Me too. I don't miss it a bit.

Super superfluous reason for not liking the DH in the IL: When I look at the SIM stat results in the utility, I always start by sorting on OPS, then I have to scan down to see my top rated offensive player because invariably a pitcher goes 1-1 with a double and posts a 2.000 OPS for the week. If several pitchers get hits during the week I may have to scan down 3-4 rows before I see my first position player. If we could filter out pitchers from the utility stats view, that would be awesome. (This is the part where someone tells me you can already totally do that and I just didn't realize it)

Also, box scores are so much easier to read at a glance with the DH.

Can we vote now on getting rid of the DH?

I'd suggest you read through some of the previous attempts in the rules discussions to figure out what voting bloc you need to lobby to get it passed.

Sorry Spear, collateral damage

The vote really needs to run thru the IL owners not the DL guys. Its they're lesser league , let them chose.

The DH is an abomination, a work of the devil. Might have been one of the 1,437 reasons Hilary lost, delayed contact with more intelligent species in our galaxy, is a cause of global warming, and I'm pretty sure, though not definitely sure, that the guys on the grassy knoll in Dallas were in favor of the DH.
