Round 1 Sound Off, 2020 Topic

So I'm curious, did anyone else need to make any major changes to their rotation/bullpen once this got going? My $120 theme was having a hard time with fatigue, and there was a huge drop off between my 1/2 starters (95 Maddux and a 16 Kershaw/01 Pedro tandem) and my 3/4 starters (92 Tewkesbury and 11 Halladay), so after about 12 games I changed from a 4 man rotation to a 2 man rotation with my 3/4 starting every other game throwing 3-4 innings, which Allows me to use a combination of Maddux, Kershaw, and Pedro, and Koji every game. It's worked well so far!
I have 3 teams that managing the pitching staff is a nightmare. I'm still surprised 1 is still above .500... I'm waiting for the collapse at any moment.

I would have time to do some theme league analysis... all I need are the rosters. Maybe ozomatli could add the rosters to the Standings Spreadsheet

5 of 6 teams at .500 or better and maintain realistic post-season aspirations. $140m team is 10 games under but playing better recently and not such a monstrous anchor that will tank the entire round. Lingering in the 40's for positioning is not going to get it done though. Not sure if any of them are built for a big run, but hoping they can steadily improve over the horrible second sixth of games. Need the next four blocks to look like like the first one to have any hope.

8th place at the 54 game mark and already down to 17. The wheels are coming off.

seeing someone as good as ozomatli have a 71-91 stretch tells me not to get too excited about the hot start

Hey all — haven't had time to check into WIS for a few days so the standings page is a bit out of whack (as are my lineups, unfortunately). Will fix the standings page tonight

Just out of curiosity, when should we expect the roster analysis for each theme?

Clawed my way back into the cage for the first time since 10 games in

promptly went 0-6
6/28/2020 4:36 PM
My $120m team haa lost 6 of our last 7 games, with every game decided by 2 runs or less...including two 9th inning losses, and back to back 17 and 13 inning games (our only win being the 13 inning game).

My anxiety and bullpen is at the brink of collapse.

What’s the record? I might beat it and miss cage haha
6/28/2020 9:33 PM
A personal best-tying 14-4 day takes us from 14th to 7th. Things are definitely bunched up.
6/30/2020 7:27 PM
When do round 2 themes get posted? I’m optimistic but I’d rather be ready than not...given how long it took some of yal to make round 1 squads....

I had a couple good days and started to creep slowly up to the top of the 40s with some hope developing ... only to post three straight 1-5s today and let all the air right back out of the tires. It just doesn't feel like my year. ... But then again, is 2020 anyone's year?
7/2/2020 1:30 AM
Slowly fading..with all the big names passing me by...I look on par with my pre ranking...4 playoff teams could change everything...while my other 2 tank
