Wow, glad I took Northrop when I did
Yeah, me too! (not).

I've so rarely played actual relievers in relief that I better dig up that elbirdo formula and see who can actually handle 15 pitches and who I have to set at 10. (Hate to criticize WIS... but that's the worst thing about getting oriented to SLB I think, pitch counts... it would be more than nice if they gave us all clearer information about it).

Luck plays into it, too. For example if someone starts a PA at 5 pitches but it takes 10 pitches to get the guy out, his 15th pitch will be at the same fatigue level as his 6th was. It only updates on a per batter basis, to my knowledge. I'm usually ok with leaving guys like Eck and Kimbrel at 15 for that reason

I confess I'm a bit spooked Oze, by the histories on relievers -- plus my own experience. Of course in SLB they're more challenged by facing pinch hitters and so on. Like playing a player in his actual park, that creates an exaggerated effect, since it's already figured into the players' performance.

Arlen should be charged with tampering and have to forfeit his next pick to me.

Smoltz says he wants to play for me and that you're welcome to his partner, Joe Buck.
