As you can see on the three players I posted, they are on my 40 man roster and on the 60 day DL.    Your player cared looked the same way.

I should have looked at the card for sure.

So you recognize that you made a mistake?

What, exactly, do you think the site should do now that you've admitted you screwed up?

     I DONT KNOW WHAT WERE YELLING ABOUT!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!!??!!??!

I've said this before and I'll say it again.  The fact that I screwed up has nothing to do with the fact that I was allowed to do something that the rules of baseball don't allow, and therefore the game of HBD shouldn't allow.  I can tell you for a certainty that I have learned a great deal more about the intricacies of the rules of baseball from playing HBD, partly by doing something that I really shouldn't have, either (a) not being able to do it (and a message will tell me that I can't do it) or (b) doing something stupid and realizing that it was stupid by paying a price.

an example of (b) is this:  I had the top bid for  Vasco Montanez as an IFA by offering all of the prospect cash that I had at the time.  I didn't realize/forgot that I had an outstanding offer to a lower round draft pick who hadn't signed yet.  The draftee signed, and nullified my offer to Montanez, so he signed elsewhere.  I was ******.  It was annoying that it went down that way, but after some time I realized my mistake and saw that I could have went about it differently and still got my man.  In other words, it was my fault that I didn't get the guy.

This situation is different.  I was unaware that I'm not supposed to be able to switch a guy from the 60 day DL to the 15 day DL, so, what should have happened if I tried would have been a message telling me that I can't do it.  Instead, it happened (ie there was a glitch), and my player received no recovery points because of it.  Admin admitted that I should not have been able to do this, but it happened (all for no reason as it turns out - but, again, that's beside the point).  There was a glitch in the game, should I be punished for discovering it, even if I was being stupid or misguided?

Nobody else has an opinion about this besides MikeT?

This is the second post on the thread by a non MikeT or shobob. Quite impressive, you two, as you keep treading water in this debate.

And shobob, I actually take your side in this matter. I'll be honest, I hadn't heard of the rule, so I think the game should just bar you from doing this. However, you don't deserve to get those recovery points back, because it's just like gambling: you rolled the dice, and they didn't fall favorably.

To recap:

A)  You don't know the rules of baseball.
B)  You can't be expected to know all the intracacies of HBD.
C)  But, yeah, you can look at player cards.
D)  However, in 71 seasons, you've never noticed that BL players on the 60 day DL are still listed on the 40.

Sorry, tough break.   You've got to do better.

DL switching aside, I think that sometimes players just get hurt and they don't ALWAYS bounce back. like caesari said, it just didn't fall in your favor. would it **** me off if i were you? yes, but it's part of the game. i might've asked why he didn't get a bounce back,  but i am not sure i'd feel that they should fix it. i would just be wondering why he didn't get it. 

They admitted that the lack of recovery was because of the DL switch in my ticket

 I think they should do nothing. The player was removed from the DL it seems to me what you want is for him to still be off the DL which is favorable to you and to get the recovery points which is also favorable to you.

I understand that. i guess I was trying to say that either way, whatever the reasoning,  not EVERY player, no matter how good the makeup and patience, should ALWAYS get points back. 

So, to recap, 4 responses, 4 agreeing that you shouldn't be given recovery cycles. 

Bet this didn't go how you thought it would.

Here's a vote for them giving you the recovery cycle. Their glitch, they should fix it.

I wonder who said this:

I gotta say that I am a bit surprised that only one respondent was even just a bit supportive with what I have to say.

The rest of you I just dont understand.  What is so wrong about demanding justice when the situation is cut and dry?

I admit I took the team without looking closely at all the contracts.  I should have done that no doubt.  But I stand by my belief that CS needs to be dealing with situations like this.  Not simply putting their heads in the sand saying "There is no problem"


I'll give you a hint.  They're related.

Mike, c'mon.  Very different situations.  Arguing the point is enough, no need to make it ad hominem.
