Round 2 - Sound Off Topic

What on EARTH is going on with my Rule V team?  I'm more than satisfied with how every other team is doing but holy cow I didn't expect a 1-10 start for them.

Anyone else having some weird fatigue problems?  Through 11 games my 60m team was slightly tired but basically 95-100% across the board, now I've suddenly hit a wall.  Along with that I've got random guys in other leagues that are in the low-mid 90s and I have to use a start Claude Hendrix at 88% at 120m despite drafting nearly 1,000 rotation innings.

All my hitters in the 60M league went from like 94-97% to 85-88% from last night to this morning.

Probably means damping is no longer in effect.  It's very easy to calculate your guys' projected PA/162 and therefore their fatigue level...I doubt there's any mistakes here, and I don't think anything has changed in the fatigue model.

No, dampening is still in effect, it doesn't end until after the 15th game.

I doubt anything has changed either, it's just weird that, aside from 60m, I drafted my teams on the same PA and IP model that I always do.  At least 60m has an easy explanation - everyone's pitching sucks so much that I've comfortably racked up the most PAs in the league.  Could get ugly if I don't get some help from pitchers parks.

I agree that something seems off.

$60m lg fatigue level is entirely predictable, nothing unusual here.  the 2 hitting albatrosses generate more PA, and lowcaps always use more PA for several reasons.

Ten teams, including mine, have a team OPS of .800 or better in the albatross league.  Nine of us are in the NL.  Yikes.




e: being 4-hit in my most recent game has helped my stamina a bit.  Wouldn't mind having a couple perfect games thrown against me to help set things straight.

My 90mil team is now 2-16! The fact is... it's well deserved! I absolutely blew it with this team and it would be nice to say that it's going to cost me the championship or something... except that three of my other teams are also pretty bad (not *this* bad, but close). If I can stay above 20th place, I think it will be an accomplishment...

My stamina problems have basically come back to earth so it looks like that was just a blip.  My 60m offense though is still all-blue but they also just keep mashing, Sheffield just hitting his 12th dinger in 19 games.  So long as they keep hitting I really can't complain.

Wow, my 28 Ruth has 3 HRs.
12/5/2010 9:28 PM
1-11 so far today... my "confidence" is shot
12/7/2010 1:54 PM
10-2 in the pm games today... but no, my confidence is not yet back, still under .500 overall

A lot of parity so far across the field.  Only one team outside of the 1910s league has a division lead of 4 or more games (NL Central, Rule V).  1910s, somehow, has four divisions with a 4+ game leader. 
12/8/2010 9:35 PM
After a 2-4, 2-4, 1-5, 2-4 run, a 3-3 feels so good.
