That, above, is not my team. But how does a team with a real stat line of 1.36 ERA and 0.88 WHIP get a 10.31 ERA and a 2.28 WHIP in the sim?

The park is Yankee Stadium. The owner is sjh0825 in the variable cap league (he chose B level defense).

1332 IP is not nearly enough at this cap. And once the fatigue death spiral gets going it is hard to stop.

He might have been able to get away with around 1360 to 1370 IP in this league if he had picked A level defense (players actually have to be good defenders - having a whole bunch of A field D range doesn't cut it) and more importantly played in a big pitchers park (for example, Petco). But a neutral park with 1330 IP and slightly above average defense at best isn't going to cut it - like brianjw said, that's going to result in the fatigue death spiral.

Also, deadball pitchers are more susceptible to fatigue death spiral. He did have live ball relievers, but those deadball pitchers need a much bigger margin of error.

this has probably been the least fun ive ever had in WIS....never had 1 mauch in my years playing in this tourney...i think i've had 5 in the past 50 games or so since all my teams collectively tanked at once.

The next 48 hours will make or break my tourney. I have 3 potential playoff teams on the bubble and a 4th returning from the dead to push. I probably need 3 of the 4 to reach the playoffs to advance. Currently sitting in 20th firmly on the cutline. C'mon Boys!!

Nice waking up to just my second schwarze of the tourney

I have five teams that could make the playoffs but none of them have clinched. The next 26 hours will be very interesting. I'm barely in the top thirty right now.

Great run by you in the 90 mil league tigerrott.

Thanks, mildnhazy. A schwarze in the pm2 games keeps my faint Round 2 hopes alive.

Ironically, I thought my 90M team would be my worst. I picked the 1969 Orioles out of desperation. I'm happy with the way things have worked out.

12-3 in one-run games the last three days. This late surge is nice.

A Mauch in Game 162 seems a fitting end to a just-above-mediocre first run at this thing.

I was tied for 13th this morning. Two 2-10 cycles to close it out have left me in 23rd. Quite the drop.

Oof, rough set of Game 1s. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

JFranco77 is wiping the floor with us in our Variable Cap matchup...this comes as no surprise...
