I just feel like complaining about the sim.

On my 105 win 2004 progressive team Kiko Calero (.82 whip .99 hr/9) just blew game 1 and 2 by letting game 1 with 2 run lead get tied and then losing game 2 with a 3 run lead both at home at Safeco. Both games were won by 3 run homers by Jason Varitek 18 HR rl at 91% fatigue. Kiko hadn't walked a batter at all in the 11.1 ip after I picked him up and didnt give up a run at all til playoffs. Also one of my best 80 inning relivers threw 4 pitches in game 1 to clean up and was fatigued and not available for game 2 but somehow 40 ip kiko was available to blow game 2.

I hope I can pull a miracle but this will be the toughest playoff series loss since Caruthers gave up a walk off grand slam to jason kendall in game 7 of ws at old braves field -4 -4 hr.

My last progressive team to make the playoffs lost game 1 23-0. Bob Feller who had been pretty dominant all year gave up like 10 runs in the first 2 innings.

It sucked. Best record in the conference loses to one of the worst, in 3 straight! But hey, it happens and eman7400 went on to the World Series and I give him alot of the credit. He just got hot at the right time I suppose...

Ya i couldnt believe that one arvid, I thought you would cruise with joss. You at least lost to 2 really good pitchers in Johnson and Schmidt. Im just upset by how my team lost 1st 2 games. Most of the lineup is fatigued too. I cannot believe that a pitcher with .82 whip could blow 2 leads in a progressive in safeco.

So are you complaining that Colero didn't give up a run in his first 11 innings? That does seem kind of unfair.

That is what is he should be doing especially against a fatigued lineup at Safeco.

He is somehow not showing fatigue and threw a 123 9th in game 3 and is still at 96% while other pitchers fatigue severely.

No, Boog, it is because in real-life stud pitchers never loose a game against fatigued opponents-- except this one time.

Except, maybe, Dennis Eckersley gives up a homerun to beaten down Kirk Gibson. Or ...

Or this game.

This, a WiS production:

Yes but the difference is that real life game results are not based on the stats.

to me, if the team that was supposed to win won every time, where would the fun part of the game be? one team would win 150+ games. the head scratching makes the box scores worth reading.
