That '44 Lindell is someone I should use more often...he had a monster season for me in a progressive.

My season is over and I missed the goals.  The total of team + plays was 188.   The team finished 88-74, 3rd in the division and 11 games back.  No playoffs.  Recall we played at Hilltop.

Here are the team's final  "+" and "-" figures

1952 Goodman, 2B    24/2
1914 Burns 1B           27/0
1919 Fletcher SS       26/0
1973 North CF           28/1
1977 Lemon LF         16/0
1926 Douthit RF        25/0
1981 Oberkfell 3b      20/0


My Pitchers have combined for 22 plus plays.   I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong.  The team BA of .282 was 9th out of 24 and I was right at the league average in runs scored.  My staff was very good; lead both leagues in fewest hits, fewest earned runs, was second in ERA , second in WHIP, OBP against, etc...They were surely helped by the rangy defenders.     The 1890 Sadie McMahon finished with a line of 24-36 in just over 500IPs, 3.56 ERA, .240 OAV, 1.30WHIP, 3.76 k/9 & 3.33 bb/9.   He seemed to be snake bit and only yielded 11 homers in all those innings.    Part of his problem was an incredible 85 wild pitches and 45 hit batters.

Good exercise.  I will give it another try sooner than later.

Just recently finished a Coors range team which finished 99-63 but won a 1-game playoff so reached 100 wins.   They finished with 183+ plays so well under the pace but some interesting stats...This team had a 33 mil pitching staff and led the entire league in road ERA.  They finished with an overall 4.07 ERA which included nearly 100 IP by AAA guys who combined for over a 10 ERA in their IP.  The Road ERA was 3.07.   The range impacted their ERA that much!!!

interesting post beaneball.  Oddball staff to say the least but you managed to get a lot out of them.   
10/3/2012 12:30 PM
Well done! I probably run too many teams to babysit a pitching staff like that.

This sounds like a good idea for a theme...
3/4/2013 3:34 PM
I was going to put up a theme that required 200+ plays for the playoffs.
3/8/2013 4:41 PM
I'd be up for that. I have an 88mil team with 200+ plays through 150 games right now (the current "smoke 'em" league)

This is the other end of the spectrum but I just had a team make 352 errors and luck into the WS title (100 million blacklist twist league)  My starting SS Frank Fennelly was in a battle all year to see if he's end up with more hits or errors he JUST pulled it out at the end finishing with 119 hits and 117 errors
