I see schwarze just pulled off the schwarze.

Sshhhh.. don't want to wake up the sim Gods.

My $100M has a stud pitching staff. I knew the offense might struggle a little but we’ve already lost 5 games allowing 2 runs or fewer. Hopefully that normalizes a bit going forward.

Not only did I get my first 6-0 of the tournament, both of my other active (not WISC teams) teams won,. making for an 8-0 cycle, including a win that sent a team into the WS. I'll take it...though I'm sure this means I'll have at least 6 straight losing cycles after this and get swept in my WS.

The two teams I was most confident in (70M and 110M) are the ones that are gonna sink me. Fatigue spiral here we come.

Man, I think I underestimated how many innings I would need in a couple leagues. Hopefully this doesn't get out of control

L9 now. 6 of my starters hitting under .200. And not even losing to dominant pitchers. Trash start.

You're not the only one...I see quite a few teams, some from experienced owners, in the same boat.

Tourney commissioner is in 1st place. RIGGED!!

I am seeing the same, jtpsops. Multiple HOF hitters battling the Mendoza line. Waiting for mean reversion to kick in is a *****.

Effective jinx. Got my first cycle that wasn't 3-3 or better, featuring 3 one-run losses and all 4 games we lost were ones we were either tied or led in the 8th inning. Bullpens!

I can’t for the life of me figure out the defensive replacement hierarchy. I’m trying to have a DR replace my starting 2B, shift my 2B to CF, and shift my CF to RF, but it’s so inconsistent and has yet to go the way I want it to.

Sometimes it shifts my 2B to CF, but takes out my CF and the RFer stays, and sometimes it just takes out my 2B and keeps my outfield the same entirely.

I thought it’d just be as simple as DR I want at 2B 1st, the 2B I want to be in CF 1st on the CF chart, and the CF I want shifter to RF first on that depth chart.

Maybe a picture would help but it’s not available to me right now.

Fatigue spiral is getting me in a couple leagues. Need a couple pitchers to throw no hitters against me and get at bats down some. Haha.

I've got this kind of thing to work in the past with '87 Kelly shifting to C late in the game and someone else coming in at 2nd.

Try unchecking the box in advanced settings for Def Rep for players not actually coming out of the game. If that doesn't work try the same idea but using the player rest settings and unchecking the allow rest box in advanced settings.

Three straight 2-4 cycles ever since boogerlips put the hex on me!

I gotta stop reading the play-by-plays, they’re gonna take years off my life.

Oh God... I stopped doing that regularly a long time ago. The only exception is when I see a blown multiple-run 9th+ inning lead, I like to see how many outs there were when the carnage started.

I'm sure i've missed a few no-no's in my days..

Speaking of no-no’s, 2020 Lamet tossed one for me in the $100m during one of yesterdays sets.

I still read the play-by-play for every WISC game, outside of this I primarily play progressives, but will read play by plays for all the teams that are either good or that hVe players I like watching.
