Let's break some records. All offense. Must use exactly these 6 pitchers. 92 Ryan Bowen Houston Astros, 80 Jack Billingham Detroit Tigers, 00 Darwin Cubillan Texas Rangers, 97 Dave Stevens Chicago Cubs, 00 Jaime Navarro Milwaukee Brewers, 04 Denny Stark Colorado Rockies. All teams at Coors. Division winners will be determined by most runs scored.

BREAK THE SCORING RECORD III is in the playoffs now. Most of the Team Batting records have been rewritten. kammeyer scored 27,318 runs. pinstripes5 hit 5259 doubles, blazinrocks hit 7322 homers, parkranger had a 3.128 OPS, dodgebob allowed 22120 earned runs, I allowed 7083 homers - all new records. (Somebody needs to go for triples!). We can do better!

Currently set up for 16 teams - balanced interleague play.  I will expand if there is enough interest. 

The technique for putting up huge offensive numbers involves playing the top run producers at all positions. 

Note: For this round the 255 rollover bug will be ignored.  For those that don't know, during the game if you score more than 255 runs your total rolls over to 0 and starts counting up again.  It happened 20 or so times last season.  If you are home team and the visiting team "rolls over", you may not get to bat in the bottom of the ninth because you appear to be ahead.  Likewise, if you are home team and you rollover, you may get to bat in the bottom of the ninth because you appear to be trailing.   Sim refuses to fix the bug, so we are just gonna live with it and let the chips fall where they may.

I have a couple of questions:

For the rollover bug - are your runs tabulated correctly in the standings, or are those wiped out as well?

Does anyone remember how to force the sim to let you draft people out of position?  I can't find it or remember how to do it.  Posting that here may be helpful.

The totals in the Team Rankings are correct.  The totals in the standings are in error. 

Here's a link to the out of position drafting link.  http://www.whatifsports.com/forums/Posts.aspx?ForumID=3&TopicID=422575&ThreadID=9069472#l_9069472

I have a Few questions:

1.  Do players have to play out of position, or can they be played in their regular position?
2.  Not that it will be a huge deal, but is there a particular setting for starting/relief pitching?
3.  Are there specific settings for managerial preferences or hitting/baserunning preferences?

Thanks

1. Anybody can play anywhere, BUT to maximize offense, you're probably going to need to play some real sluggers on the IF and behind the plate.  Remember wins and losses dont matter.  Division winners are determined by runs scored.

2. You can use your six pitchers any way you want.

3. No specific settings.   Do what you think is wise.

I'm drafting for this, and it's tougher than I thought.  Drafting for defense certainly seems like it violates the spirit of the league, but how bad is Ruth really going to play at SS?  At catcher?  I'm tinkering, and I'll see what I can come up with.  I realize the league might fill before then, but hopefully I'll figure something out and make it in.

Here's a link to the existing league stats: http://www.whatifsports.com/mlb-l/teamstats.asp?lid=92269

A 1921 Babe Ruth made 199 errors in 126 games at SS.  The owner (blazinrock) now has the single season team homerun record. and he is in the playoffs.

Drafting for defense won't help you break any records and it does drag down everyone elses offense.

All of the playoff participants averaged over 4 errors and 11 passed balls  per game.

We only have seven spots left.  Amazing.  If we have this much interest, I might expand the league to more teams (if the owners agree, of course).  I'm trying to keep it interleague with a balanced schedule to mix things up as much as possible.
