3-3 in the morning and 3-3 in the afternoon. One 2-0 team, four 1-1 teams, and one 0-2 team, just like I planned it.

Very happy with my start so far. 5-1, 3-3, 5-1. Could have been 4-2 in the PM set but apparently didn’t set one of my LHP lineups and had a bunch of my bench scrubs in my $70m. We lost 7-1 though so idk how much better it’d have been.

a lot of close games, my $80m has scored 33 through 3 games. Hope to get my write ups posted soon. I think homeruns will increase into the season too as teams face fatigue issues, especially with the +HR parks. My biggest regret so far is not putting my team with 400HR in. Even though my team is 3-0, that just would’ve been fun ha

My four cycles so far:

5-1
4-2
3-3
2-4

I'm beginning to detect a pattern...

In what could have been a nightmare scenario: When setting my lineups and PCs my $100m pitcher settings didn't save. I noticed immediately, re-input them and then closed out and re-opened... again they didn't save. I went to my $110m team and set them up, everything took... went back to the $100m and set them up, it looked like it worked. Phew.

Fast forward. Leagues have started, after game 2 I notice in the box score that Grove threw 7 innings and over 100 pitches... I didn't remember my exact settings, but I knew that didn't seem right. I opened them up, and sure enough, none of them were right, all back to Sparky's defaults, which are horrible when running the odd rotations I run. I fix them up, but forgot to scan fatigue levels to make sure after my game 3 starter pitched I'd have a non-fatigued option for game 4, and sure enough, I didn't and 2% Joe Bush got the nod (he also threw more pitches in his start than he should have). Thankfully, he was injured after just the 2nd batter of the game and my deep bullpen was able to finish the game where we held on to win 4-3.

Aside from Bush, we're all back to proper fatigue levels now and shouldn't have any issues going forward, and Bush should be back up from his injury to make another start in another 7-8 team games.

i had that in the 125, saved pitch counts for my tandems and somehow it reverted back, my first tandem threw 90 pitches and not 40.

Not the start I was expecting at 4 games under .500 but mostly close games. Some teams are diing better than I thought and others opposite....I'll have to be patient

I have noticed than when you move tandem pitchers around to different roles, sometimes it resets PC for them.

Well? Did it continue?

First time in five tries I have some hope in this thing.
two at 4-1, four at 3-2.

W	L	PCT	W THAT SET
3	3	.500	3
9	3	.750	6
13	5	.722	4
15	9	.625	2
20	10	.667	5

First real bad turn, 1-5 in the am

My $110 million team isn’t hitting, at all

After 7 games, my teams are 6-1, 5-2, 4-3, 3-4, 2-5 and 1-6.

Perfectly balanced as all things should be?

It kinda got stuck, but not in a good place:

5-1
4-2
3-3
2-4

Carlos Beltrán has started the season 0-24 in my $110M league. At this point I just want to see how far he can push it.

The $20M per team minimum forced me to add 1972 Steve Carlton to my $110M team, since I wanted a bunch of relievers from that Phillies era. He is off the one of the worst starts I have ever had from a starting pitcher.

2 starts
3.0 innings
18 hits!
2 walks
3 homeruns allowed
.667 OAV
6.67 WHIP (I have never seen a 6.67 WHIP)
48.00 ERA

And it wasn't just one bad start. He gave up 8 ER in both with 8 / 10 hits. He is going to pitch like 400 innings for this team. NOT GOOD.
