My understanding is the manager pops are at random times throughout the day. (amalric7 was asking when I checked the managers list.) I usually check in the mornings, Central U.S. time, but I occasionally will poke my nose in during the afternoon. Was pleasantly surprised to nab Youngblood around 3:15 Central this afternoon. I suppose when you say "database" you're suggesting a tool that alerts you when new managers are spawned? I know nothing about such tools, let alone if that's even possible.

My manager has been good until this season (though slow to reveal), and I doubt I can really pin the blame on him for our struggles, but I've regularly checked the managers list since I got here - there's always room for improvement (and we're not short of room anywhere this year). I check the new managers most days and have a spreadsheet with all their ID numbers, so its pretty easy for me to check for new ones. And actually I've checked that often I can recognise the ones who have newly revealed by name - there's my nerd/sad case reveal.

He's good, but I wish he had a pitching comment instead of fielding. I don't know if I just got lucky or if there are more released at midnight. Anyone know?

Old managers like mine in his 5th year are outdated. ??IF i'am correct they saying every day a new pool of managers to choose from instead of the 1 time a year during off season??

It's not fair owners have to check on a daily basis to see if there's a good manager available. I preferred the first-come, first-serve - at least everyone knew in advance when to go look for a manager. It's also unrealistic for new MLB managers to just randomly show up by chance throughout the season Updated Friday, April 14 2017 @ 5:51:46 pm PDT
