Once again why I hate the stupid form stat. The cup games put most of ny pitchers into cold status. Season starts, and I'm getting blasted at home in my death valley of a stadium.

Waiver season went horribly, i only took Barrientos (with 50% chance), even i claimed roughly 25 players.

Granted, they were all good players (they went from 7 claimants to 50-60) but still

Let's hope draft season goes better, or i could be in big trouble, at least pitching side, in a couple of years

Nothing like dropping 6 runs without getting and out and nothing happening, then you go check the management screen and for some reason, your recent pitching pick-up has gotten a 'default' hook of 12 runs.

Gee, thanks, game engine. I didn't want to win that game anyway.

Seriously, why is THIS guy: https://brokenbat.org/player/326568 Set to that? That's a perfectly natural setting for an MR2 who's gotten a late season call-up for some reps. Not.

The Game Engine didn't set that as a default. It was set by the prior team. When you pick up a player it always keeps the settings from the prior team, so its important to go fix them.

Likely they were still just developing him, and wanted to get him lots of innings in the spring. Then there was no need to change the settings on a minor league player after spring.

A Reply and not a Vent

Yeah. I dont ditch too many pitchers in Spring but if I did they would still have infinity hooks and 150 pitch counts. Interestingly there is not separate Spring settings, so changing the settings in your spring roster will change it for them in League as well if they happen to appear in a game.

I wish it were more widespread for teams to look at their minor league position settings. Prospects can come into the league without position knowledge of any realistic position they could play, and especially if older Asian League or International be very difficult to get position training for.

What’s the point of a pitch limit if the game runs ur pitcher way past it n they get lit up. I set it for 35 the game has this Retard pitch 130 n he gives up 10 runs n his stats are ruined. Fix this *beep* already. Unacceptable.

The AI manager is focused on winning games, not padding stats. I would be pissed if it behaved the opposite.

In a lost cause game, the AI manager will leave the pitcher in so he doesn't kill the arms of the rest of his bullpen.

Besides, you can't really ruin the stats of a guy who has less than 10 innings pitched. His stats are meaningless at this point anyhow. The only thing padding his stats would do is give him a raise he didn't deserve a the end of the year. And then you would be paying $$$ for a bad pitcher.

More of a fun fuct than a venting, but still:

My 3B Banning hit 26 Home runs this season, but the last one was on 25th of august.

He smacked 26 homers in 5 months, had a minor injury (missed a 4 games series) and went 0 HR in the next 2 months
