Good luck.

See the ball.  Hit the ball.

What's the problem?

You were here?

We have a n00b in one of my leagues who is a clueless as I've ever seen. So far 0-21. Giving up 16.1 RPG. Has 21 players on his ML roster, 12 on his AAA roster. Almost all pitchers have been at 0% since day 1 because he overworked his short staff during ST(I can see how that statement will be commented on! :). He made no signings during the FA period and has not signed anyone since, so every team is understocked. I sent him a detailed sitemail as to steps he should take to make the team at least competitive, but he has not done one thing. He signs in, but does nothing. We are now waiting for him to start SPs for 10 straight games under 50% so we can replace him. Unfortunately, with leagues having trouble filling privately lately, we went public and this is what we got. It has obviously thrown the competitive balance of the league into the crapper. Many n00bs are clueless, but they ask questions and make moves to try and figure out how this sim works. Never seen anyone do absolutely nothing before.

Go that way.  Really fast.  If something gets in your way, turn.

all these contract rules about when you can sign a player and for how much. you have to be a college professer or else its way over your head. I know they trying to make it more like real i guess, but now its too complex and that takes the fun out of it. Glad I only spent $15 and not more. Oh well sounded like a fun thing to try.

I'll take your team if you dont want to waste your time.

College Professor..... interesting.

Yeah, I think these colleges of which he speaks must have lowered their professor standards considerably.

All it takes is average baseball knowledge and 10 minutes a day and you are set.

I have always wondered why you get the occasional post from a guy saying he's leaving. Why bother with the post? Is there a purpose to it?

Maybe they are looking for someone to give them a reason to stay. "There,there...everything will be all right."

That is a possibility. I figured if they were looking for that sort of encouragement, and were frustrated with not being able to grasp certain aspects of the game, they'd attempt to contact a mentor. To each their own, I suppose.
