It looks like my $80 will be the biggest challenge. My bullpen is shot due to some combination of A) Almost all deadball pitchers, B) 4 real relievers, and 4 relative mopup guys, and C) Based on batters faced, and IP, I've essentially played 2 more games than anyone else in the league. Time to figure out how to prevent the death spiral.

Just4me has helped my teams from going down the fatigue spiral many times. Feel free to hit him up if you need help.

I just might after the season. So far, after a little bit of research, I adjusted a couple settings. And, 2 consecutive shutouts with only 1 RP appearance combined helped. I completely give credit to whining on the board for the shutouts.

Variable cap staff threw 162 pitches to get through 8 innings (We lost and didn't have to pitch the 9th). That staff needs a miracle to avoid the death spiral now. That team is still above .500 but I truly can't foresee how it won't crumble soon.

So much for the top 10. It was fun while it lasted, but I'm back on the cage bubble where I apparently belong.

I live on the cage bubble. every year. seems to be my destiny.

2nd schwarze of the tourney. That's one more than I had all of Round 1 last year, despite making Round 2.

Officially dropped down to .500. Free-falling slowly, but consistently now.

My teams have just decided to take this 162 game set off. 71st in wins for this set after 100 wins in the first set? Really?

ahh nothing like a good ol 0-6 to round out the day after you finally start to make some progress

Until fatigue sets in. It feels good my best team is my 120M team. One of 2 who selected maddux in my league...

Can’t wait for the statistics on the leagues.

I know how you feel. 91 wins first 162 and sitting at .500 this set up to this point. Frustrating.

Is it bad that when your pitchers are so fatigued that when you lose a road game, you are kinda glad that you lost so you don't have to pitch the ninth inning?

And a good morning Mauch to start my day, including some serious blowouts. In theory, one would think that I would fare better once I started facing teams that suffer fatigue issues when mine do not. For some reason, I do better in the beginning of these tournaments before death spirals set in. Seems odd, but it seems to be a consistent pattern. Only 2 games under .500 overall; there are worse places I could be...

I'd love to know how an $80M team in Dodger Stadium is battling the death spiral with 1,257 IP.

Kenley Jansen is awful. That is all.

jtpsops, you may have had some bad luck with your player, on the plus side, i heard a critic on the radio today say that the new Carly Rae Jepsen album is very good. perhaps that will help.

Because IP is only part of the equation. They're likely throwing a lot of pitches in those innings

Looking at your team, they're averaging 128 p/g - which isnt horrible, but my team (with 1257ip) has 124 p/g. That's the equivalent of 5 full games worth of pitches.
