I guess if you fall for this more than once than it's your own fault, but how bush league can you get

That is the benefit for having that weak hitting SS that can run in the 8 hole. You know your running....I know your running ....everyone knows your running....why waste your Golden PH with 2 outs?

What i have seen that reminds me of the sneak attack of Pearl Harbor was Takami start a reliever in a game 7 of an LCS only to take him out after 1 innings and put a Righty in VS my Y set lineup. THAT IS THE GOLDEN NO NO in etequitte. Sorry Tak .....I will ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT ONE...)

The problem is If I Start JR RICHARD who is at %80 and in no way intending him to pich to more than a couple batters the other owner cant tell he is fatigued. Then I bring in Randy Johnson for 5 innings VS a righty set lineup. Its kinda like declaring war after the first bombs come crashing thru your Bulkhead. ) There is a reason why in Sim games.....the min pitch count is set at 40 pitches.

Nothing wrong with this.. Would you rather the person just wait like a retard for you to select your SP 1st?

I do this one. It is a strategy I have always used, I may change to a 'mop up' pitcher and a 'rest starters' lineup if I see that I am facing your ace. I apologize if this is not good LIVE etiquette, but I do it all the time.

Will, so why should I give you the advanatge of always seeing who my starter is. The visitor should select first and then the home team, that way it is even.
