This thread is always popular.  Did you lose six 1-run games?  Did you blow a 5-run 9th inning lead because your mopup came in instead of your closer?  Post your bad beats here.

I think I've gotten my fatigue issues pretty much handled, at the 18 game mark.

Now, if I would only start the winning thing....

This is the song that Dick Selma would set the Wrigley Bleacher Bums off to sing in 1969, waving his white towel like a green flag. It's coming to mind as I see my teams getting targeted by best players of other teams. But it seems I won't be at the top for very much longer, just wait and see....

After all these years, I really do think there is something wrong with the way SLB handles modern relief pitchers. In general, there seems to be just too much success at the plate against them.

its exciting to see which inning my bullpen blows it, the 8th, 9th, 10th or 14th...if i dont blow 3 games a session it feels weird....this is "Fun".

I hear ya, cubbies. I think in round one I was tops in W-L in 1-run games. I suspect I'm at the bottom in round two.

Let me be the first to congratulate you, WaitNSee! 

Mediocrity, thy name is ArlenWilliam, Round 2.

That decision to give up a starting pitcher for the bullpen, because your relievers stink, then have to put a stinking reliever into the rotation...   #desperation

Winning by 2 or 3 runs going into the 8th = LOSS

All HRs your batters hit shall be solo shots.  Even if your team has 14 hits and 6 walks!

And there they were, pitched warriors competing to the very end in schwarze's championship, when in the black Christmas Eve one of them was heard singing,

            "Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!
             Alles schläft; einsam wacht

Soon, another joined in, and another, and another, and eventually all SimLeague Baseball had ceased and they all sang along....

Meanwhile, the AW franchise undergoes a seemingly endless string of 2-4 rounds, except it's followed by 1-5.
Best wishes to the contenders!

Edit: and another 1-5... don't know that I've ever seen this kind of thing before... can a computer simulation need an exorcism?

My League 4 team finished the first half with an L6 and a 2-18 run!!!!  Here's hoping for a change in the 2nd half.

In the $160M, Big Train 1912 pitches a shut-out, then relieves at 100% for 1 2/3 innings giving up 6 earned runs, then throws his second shut-out, bringing his ERA way down to 6.09.
