My buddy Phil had the idea of having a local league. Right now we got 7 owners for sure and are looking for one more. I made up the league site... let me know what you guys think:

Fantastic. Keep it updated!
owners page updated. it's sweet.

Get it done meat.
something to think about: have a "home" button somewhere to get back to the main page without using the back button
good luck with your league. looks like you've got a good, organized thing going on.
off topic: how did you guys handle there not being a seattle mariner on the rbi AL all-star roster? just curious, since i assume all you guys grew up there in WA.
How did you guys determine teams?
This league of extrodinary cocksuckers had better be 1 starting pitcher games.
Any other sort of RBI league would be utter blasphemy.

Wow.
I'm bitter on account that the bar games are always 2 SP.
league format is anything goes. i'm guessing that mscott, nolan, and kerfeld should combine for about 8 shutouts this season.
there actually wasn't much of a problem in determining teams. everyone pretty much got who they wanted. the last two teams (boston and california) went to a couple noobs. personally, i think that the teams are all pretty close to even if you play the format we are playing, with houston being a notch above the rest of course.

Not being able to swing sounds a little boring.

if anyone cares, his answer was, "i never thought about it."
that is just boring! i'm so disappointed.
actually i'm pretty sure that no one cares
when ever we'd put on a Tecmo league, id always hate it when the noobs/scrubs would get the good teams...moreso cause those teams desrve to kick ass, but cant in the hands of the imcompetent.
not everyone has reached Jim Rice Level like you have

Im just sayin that it sucks when the New York fkn Giants dont make the playoffs cause some bastard cant handle the greatest defense ever assembled on a video game. Thats blasphemy in the house of LT.
season kicked off on monday, three games played. site updates will occur once a week every monday/tuesday
Phil reporting here from the Ellensburg local RBI league. Three more league games taken care of tonight.
I can vouch for Houston being one of the best teams in the game or at least a contender. I personally believe all the teams are pretty even throughout the game if you're playing anything goes.
Detroit is batting under .150, and is tied for the homerun lead with the Cardinals...
San Fran lost to Houston 10-0 in 7 innings with one extra base hit...
...well... this'll be interesting to watch >_>
OK so the player controlling SF has basically never played before. Good to know
I've played before. But probably only about 100 games of RBI. Plus, Houston is the best team in the game.
I'm pretty sure Houston can't even score 10 runs in a watch game.
Houston lacks the fire power. They are a streaky team. They can win some, but c'mon, best team? This must be some kind of hoax....especially that claim that they beat my Giants 10-0. What.....you guys letting your girlfriends play?
i could lob the ball right down the middle(aka straight pitch) and maybe 5-10 times out of 100 give up 10 runs to the stros..and those games would have to be home run barages.
In these parts we have extra inning STL/HOU games frequently that get decided 2-1(or in those where-abouts).

My best friend and I would always use that match up to have some fun and low scoring billy ball type games. Good times. We would usually play like a 5 game set, then move on to our regular clash between SF-AM.
HOU/STL is in my estimation the most fun match-up. you dont have to worry about giving up bombs left anf right, so you can just manage the games...back to back walks to lindeman and clark if need be to get mcgee on a ground out.
Once i recall walking clark with the bases load to get mcgee out in a game. i had a couple run lead at the time and rolled the dice. cant remember if i won or lost though.
Quote from: Todd Blythe Time on 10/31/07, 11:04:46 PM
HOU/STL is in my estimation the most fun match-up.
The most frustrating match up ever.
Although I still look back fondly on the 18 inning game against Bandur that ended with a McGee walk off to give me a 1-0 win.
I had a St. Louis/Houston game go 21 innings when Nolan carried a perfect game into the 9th and ended up pitching 12 shutout innings before going to the bullpen. Ended with a Coleman inside the park homerun (on a throwing error by the right fielder)
Oh yeah, well I drive a dodge stratus and people are afraid of me.
here's a thought... maybe i'm good at rbi!
site updated, using java for easy-entry stats
a whole buttload of games got played tonight... everything is updated!
Boston is 0-4 and Houston is 5-0. It's bizarro RBI.
Either way, fantastic work on the site guys. Keep it up.
in terms of owner talent, this is where the league is at in my estimation
1st tier: hou
2nd tier: det, nym, sf
3rd tier: stl
4th tier: bos, cal, min
Yeah, it's clear that the owner of Ho is head and shoulders above everybody else in the league, given the results thus far.
do me a favor and tell your buddy brandon to be a man and just grow out the unibrow already
26 steals...that's almost laughable.
Maybe he's just that good!!
20 total triples as well.

Holy shit, the guy that lost 10-0 to Hou is 2nd tier? Do the 4th tier players have eye sight?
Dude, I'm pretty sure Helen Keller could manage not to lose 10-0 to houston. As any team. Straight pitch.
Four of Houston's Five wins have come against 4th tier teams...
I'm putting myself in the 4th tier for losing 10-0. So make it 5 out of 5.
do these other guys know the proper substitutes to make, and do they know to take some pitches to wear guys out?
as long as you can play defense (and somewhat know your way around the game), Bostom should dispose of houston even if the guy with boston isnt all that great.

Let's just say that The Express stole home on Minnesota because he didn't how to cover home.
that was awesome
Man, the one thing I miss about Octo was the fact that all the games we played had unwritten gentleman's rules.
Including if we started home and the catcher accidentally ran to second, we went back to third.
No reason to take advantage of easy mistakes, I guess, unless you're "just that good"
I didn't steal home in early games, figured it wouldn't be fair while my friends were learning.
That said, even after a few hundred games over the last year, I can usually beat out my friend in a rundown with a fast players, especially as he has trouble with the quick throw on such occasions (he can do them great on fly balls and line drives but not so well in a pickle) so I've definately started Vinny from third and taken advantage of bad throws, running to the wrong base, etc.
SUMMARY:
Don't pull that stuff on guys who can't play the game.
If they can't figure it out after a long time of intense playing though, it's their own damn fault
Quote from: Attezzobal on 11/05/07, 01:42:03 AM
Man, the one thing I miss about Octo was the fact that all the games we played had unwritten gentleman's rules.
I think this is lame, a mistake is a mistake. Do you not swing at mistake pitches? Plus did Octo not know how to throw the ball to the pitcher and the throw back to the catcher?
I think you're lame.
I guess this goes back to the whole infield fly debate.
When we played, we both would begin to steal with every pitch thrown, and yeah, we did just instantly throw to the pitcher, but due to the frequency of steals, mistakes would occur every once in a while.
Just like when we'd try the Armas play, if the third baseman didn't reach first in time, we'd run the batter out.
Also, only one base on overthrows.
We play everything in this league. If you overthrow, you go and get the ball. No infield fly rule. We just play the game it was meant and created to be played.
Dude, there is no way the game was MEANT to have Houston go 5-0 and Boston 0-5
In my opinion, none of it is lame--if both players agree. I don't see anything wrong with Attez and Octo agreeing to and playing by the same set of rules. However, I also don't see anything wrong with both players agreeing that the rule is that there are no rules.
The two things that I do see wrong with the above few posts, however, are as follows:
1)The mere fact that whomever played with Mn couldn't stop the steal of home because he didn't know how to is largely telling of his ability, and to a lesser extent, telling of the over all league ability.
2) Shame on you, Attez, for saying the one thing you miss about Octo. He's a good kid and was a great friend to you and deserves better.

Not just the talent of the league, but the common courtesy of its players. Competition shouldn't get in the way of class.
Obviously it's different if it's a tourney like Columbus of COTUT, but if it's a group of guys who are friends, there's no excuse to not help them out (plus, while I'm sure it's fun to dominate in a video game, it should be better to play a competitive game)

2) Shame on you, Attez, for saying the one thing you miss about Octo. He's a good kid and was a great friend to you and deserves better.
Whatever, I haven't had his number since April (Which I imagine goes both ways), he knows that this forum is the only way to get in touch with me, and I was more than cordial to him in Columbus (at least I would imagine, I think he drove my car at one point to McDonald's).
I'm just saying to reduce your entire friendship (which goes back to your childhood--in my mind, anyway) to the ONE thing that you miss is pretty sad.
I guess I could throw in kicking his ass at sports trivia on those touch screen games at shitty redneck bars,
It's not that there is something WRONG with playing that you can run the bases on overthrows, or double plays on infield flies. Especially if both people know before hand. To each his own, as long as they know what's going on. Of course, "Gentlemen's rules" are not really the issue here.
The issue if taking advantage of somebody who is on a lower skill level. I mean, if you are so far above other people that you can win 10-0 with Houston, you shouldn't need to take advantage of them not knowing how to cover home.
I really like AlexTrevlan.
also, site updated... got 5 more games in last night... st lou has moved into the 2nd tier imo

clearly i made the reference to pickleball to demonstrate the fact that i don't have a problem with pwning nublets. my daddy beat me me hundreds of times at chess before i finally beat him and that made me beating him all the better. if you can't take the heat, stay outta houston.
besides that, we're keeping track of stats so why win 9-0 in 9 innings when you can win 10-0 in 7?
Is that life size ping pong?
I think we played that once in gym class when I was in junior high.
I'm pretty good at racket sports, so it was pretty enjoyable.
It's like novelty sized ping pong paddles with wiffle balls (if memory serves)
Im pretty sure that pickleball refers to mizzou/gary pinkel....well at least according to gerlost.

grandpa did the exact opposite in the movie Jack the Bear, and you know what the result was? Jack hated his grandpa and loved his dad (Danny Devito), even though he was an alcoholic and allowed Jack's little brother to be molested by Gary Sinise. The reason why Jack loved his Dad? "Dad would let me win"

These results are just mind boggling.... I know I've played about 20 games of curve in my life, but give me Boston against Houston in a best-of-nine series and I guarantee that I'll win five. I'd bet my website, domain, database, keys to my car etc. Even JoeDirt, who CLEARLY outclassed me when we played in columbus, wouldn't render me winless with Boston...
Please keep it up guys with all the games, but my mind is blown...
agreed
sounds like gantry and the express are gonna race for pinks!
After being beat by Houston 10-0 in the season opener, I worked on my S pitch and won 4-0 in the 2nd league game. Houston was held to 3 hits by Krukow and Rueschel but they still remain the best team in RBI, and now are 3rd in the league.
That's more like it
We have two complicated scenarios that could happen. Chances are they won't, but what would happen in the instance of these two? Try to follow along:
Scenario #1
1. Houston/New York split
2. Detroit sweeps New York
3. San Fran beats New York
4. San Fran beats Detroit
Meaning that the standings would look like this:
1. Houston (10-4)
1. Detroit (10-4)
1. San Francisco (10-4)
Detroit holds tiebreak over Houston. Everybody else split season games. What do we do?
-Detroit gets 1st seed. Houston and San Francisco play for 2nd?
-San Francisco and Detroit play for first seed. Houston automatically gets 3rd?
-Round Robin play Detoit loses to Houston and San Fran and his 2 wins vs. Houston meant nothing?
-3 way head-to-head records compared: 1. Detroit (3-1) 2. San Fran (2-2) 3. Houston (1-3)
I'll post the second scenario if anybody is interesting in solving this one.
the site will be updated tonight by 1:00am pacific
San Francisco gets the first seed because they beat Detroit. Detroit is #2 as they have the tiebreak over Houston.
Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong but it seems pretty simple.
I guess I forgot to explain our system:
- 8 teams
- 14 game season (everybody plays each other twice home/away)
- Top 6 teams go to playoffs
- Top 2 teams get first round bye
- Seeding decided by tiebreak (you could of split 1-1, or swept 2-0)
site updated... what's keeping things close is the following:
hou vs det (0-2)
hou vs stl (2-0)
stl vs det (2-0)
the three of us picked up 2 losses to each other opening the door for the mets who so far have only gone 2-1 against serious competition. i don't think that san fran has a serious chance at a #1 or #2 seed but if they win out things could get interesting.
i hate detroit
and i concede. houston is the worst in the game... i think saint lou would probably have my heart if i played with them.
detroit dropped one to boston!
looks like the 1-3 seeds will be determined by how well the mets do in their four games against houston and detroit
Nick admitted that he should of dropped two. Bart choked in the 8th and he hit a 3 run homerun with Rice that they called foul. Nick said he got lucky.
Ah, now this is getting more like we're used to...
NY is the worst in game. but houston is close

This was sent out to the league today:
Hello Gentleman,
With the eve of the RBI playoffs just a day away, it's time to start considering candidates for the prestigious MVP and Cy Young awards. To review how the award works, whatever team is voted the best in either the offense or defense categories will select a player off their team for representation and acceptance of the MVP or Cy Young award. I personally think we should change the names of the awards to the Ty Cobb and Tom Seaver awards, but that's besides the point. Lets take a look at the top 3 offensive leaders in each category:
Hits/9
1. Houston (13.25)
2. San Fran (12.10)
3. New York (12.08)
Runs/9
1. San Fran (9.00)
2. New York (6.49)
3. Houston (6.07)
Batting Avg.
1. Houston (0.371)
2. San Fran (0.349)
3. New York (0.331)
Homeruns/9
1. New York (2.39)
2. Detroit (2.18)
3. San Fran (1.80)
Stolen Bases/9
1. Houston (4.55)
2. New York (1.71)
3. St. Louis (1.21)
A trend you can see in all the offensive categories is that 3 teams are above the rest. Those three teams being Houston, San Francisco, and New York.
Randy's Houston club is included in every category except for homeruns, but if you ask Randy, it's not how many homeruns you hit, it's how many runs you bring in. Randy's also proving that lefties are truly the best hitters in RBI batting a sweet 0.371. Houston has been tearing up the basepaths with 4.55 stolen bases a game and while stolen bases don't mean a lot in real baseball, they equate to runs in RBI baseball.
Speaking of the runs, San Francisco has a commanding lead in the runs category, and nearly doubles the amount of the 4th place team in that category. Many people say that San Fran's stats are inflated because of the Austin factor, but prior to those games, San Francisco led the league with 69 runs while not even having the most games in.
Jared's Mets are the only team that makes their presence felt in the top 3 in every offensive category. Traditionally, MVP awards have been given out to home run hitters. Despite a recent drop off, New York is atop the league in that category slamming 2.39 a game.
With offensive ranks of 3rd in hits, 2nd in runs, 3rd in batting average, 1st in homeruns, and 2nd in base stealing, it's no doubt that New York has the most well rounded and efficient offenses in the Ellensburg RBI league.
Onto Pitching:
ERA
1. Houston (1.92)
2. St. Louis (2.78)
3. Detroit (3.09)
K/9
1. Houston (12.24)
2. San Fran (10.50)
3. New York (9.8)
Houston's got it.
For the voting process. Select 3 teams for each category.
1st place = 3 points
2nd place = 2 points
3rd place = 1 point
What do you guys think? If you care...
Awesome shit Polsky Rifle. That league is awesome!
My question is who is hitting in the 1 and 8 holes for the Giants?
Haha, that's funny that you ask because I was just about to PM you on some of your San Fran strategy.
When I started playing back in the day(preseason), I used to bat Aldrete leadoff because I was informed that lefties are generally better hitters. I didn't have much success with that so I went with Spilman batting first. Because of Spilman's speed and Mitchell sucking, I decided to pull a John Kerry and flip-flop Spilman/Speier so that Chilli would actually have somebody behind him to bring him home. Sometimes when Bobby Thompson is up with 2 outs I'll just leave him in there to save Spilman's bonus. But the Candyman is my MVP thus far.
As the season has progressed I've been throwing the "S" pitch with Krukow and Big Daddy Reuschel. It has earned me shutouts in my last 4 league games but I still think I need to expand my pitching catalog. I still will have trouble with Krukow against right handed hitters when I set up on TV right. I generally pitch 5 innings with Krukow and then bring in Big Daddy to finish the game out.
So, wait, did the playoffs happen yet?
I hope you kept score cards...
Yeah, they happened. I'll post the full recap tomorrow.
Heading into the playoffs the standings looked like this:
1. New York (10-3)
2. San Francisco (10-4)
3. Houston (10-4, lost tiebreak game to SF)
4. St. Louis (7-5)
5. Detroit (6-6)
6. Boston (3-8)
7. Minnesota (2-11)
8. California (0-5)
Minnesota and California did not qualify in the top 6 for the playoffs and New York and San Francisco received byes. Some games weren't played because everybody was going to beat California anyway so we just started the playoffs. We did first round "one and done:, 2nd and WS best of 3.
(3) Houston vs. (6) Boston
Jim Rice had a huge game hitting 2 homeruns but it was poor fielding in the 8th that opened the door for Houston to come from behind to win. Houston wins 4:2.
(4) St. Louis vs. (5) Detroit
St. Louis had a 2-0 record against Detroit during the regular season thanks to masterful pitching by Tudor. He once again came through and St. Louis was able to score on an error to win this nail biter. St. Louis wins 2:1
(2) San Fran vs. (3) Houston
After being demolished by Houston 10-0 in their first regular season game, San Fran had won their last two against Houston including the tiebreak game for seeding.
Game 1- Houston was able to strike out 14 San Fran batters but allowed 2 homeruns to lose the game. San Fran wins 3:1
Game 2- The combination of Krukow/Big Daddy Reuschel held Houston to 5 hits en route to a victory. San Fran wins 2:1
(1) New York vs. (4) St. Louis
St. Louis had split during the regular season with their most recent game being a 10 run offensive showing by St. Louis.
Game 1- New York took advantage of misplaced balls over the plate and slammed 3 homeruns for an easy victory. New York wins 8:2
Game 2- Adjusting their pitching strategy St. Louis was able to hold New York to only 6 hits, but unfortunately could not perform in extra innings. New York wins 2:1 (10 innings)
World Series (1) New York vs. (2) San Francisco
San Francisco and New York split their games in the regular season but New York had won its game more comfortably winning 8-4 in the first meeting.
Game 1- Both teams came out making solid contact hitting two homeruns each except for San Fran had an extra man on base when the Candyman went long. San Fran wins 5:4
Game 2- Ojeda had himself a game only allowing 2 hits as San Fran could not adjust. The New York offense provided two more homeruns. New York wins 2:1
Game 3- Ojeda and Gooden used masterful pitching and Darryl and company supplied three more homeruns to cruise to an easy victory and the Season 1 Ellensburg RBI title. New York wins 5:0
The World Series was somewhat anti-climactic because after everybody lost their would leave my house pissed. New rule in Season 2: Everybody has to stay during the playoffs.
Official award results:
MVP- Candy Maldonado
Cy Young- John Tudor
World Series Champ- New York Mets
Viola on the Mets?
I meant Ojeda...

We had this happen during one of the games.
(http://unionrulez.com/bball/DSC00463.JPG)
I have a feeling that if it was the other way around (Hou getting the pitcher glitch), he would have just struck out the side and not said anything about it.
Also, this happens a lot when we used to play, because you get so set on knowing who you're pinch hitting.
i concede... houston is the worst... either that or i just got owned. probably a combo of the two.
tie breaker game i have a one run lead late in the game and i get eggs (fly ball error) with two outs and two on. san fran immiately gets a run and moves another guy over to third. next pitch is a hit and i'm down one and lose the game.
then in game one of the second round i am playing san fran again and i only strike out six times and can't get any hits or runs. un-be-lieve-able. i felt like i played about as good as i could and i got pwnd.
next season i get detroit so i'll have something to compare houston to. if i lose miserably again tho i think i'll go to saint lou if brandon wants to trade. but with the first pitch of my first practice game with detroit i hit a "Silent But Deadly" with a-tram
Sounds more like the competition is catching up with you. We've said all along just how shitty Houston is.
Since the competition is catching up to the better owners in the league, we have elected to do a fantasy draft. We're going to put the rom on an Xbox, or play it off of computers hooked up to TV's. Should be pretty sweet.
I like how by editing the rom we have new teams (Baltimore, KC, Florida, Milwaukee, Cleveland, LA, Oakland, Chicago Cubs, Colorado & Pittsburg) and...
the 2nd player calling time option is pretty cool.
I was going to give the 1st pick in the draft the worst Error % like Detroits (4.7% per play), but I ran a mock draft and all the power numbers are very very close.
Question: Should I give every team the same % of committing an error OR should I put the %'s (4.7%-1.6%) as 10 different picks in the draft so people could essentially choose their team defense? What do you think?
I'd go with the same error rate across the board, to make it fair.
Are you doing a fantasy draft with original RBIers?

With us being able to set up our lineups, there are definitely some new pitching strategies being administered. Such as intentionally beaning power hitters, pitching meatballs to the speed guys, and throwing nothing but dropballs with MScott.
This season should be very interesting, and a learning experience for all the owners. We're playing the game in a whole new way.
I'm with you on the first two strategies, but dropballs with MScott are balls like 98% of the time, once your opponent realizes this they'll just start taking everything, and MScott will be done by his second inning.
Keep up the good work guys. And Attabobble is right, don't fall in love with the drop pitches. The beauty is in the surprise, don't forget.
Simply awesome work boys, kudos...
i went over to polish's house and played a few game with him, nick, and brandon and it is JUST like playing on console except we're using the drafted teams. it's absolutely amazing. this season should be a blast.
25/90 games complete on the regular season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers (formerly Houston Astros) look like the early favorite as they are 9-0. Still working on getting game film up in a viewable form...
Depending on what emulator you use, you might wanna use Frapz to record games
If it's hooked up to the tv, you should use a vcr.
Good point....but I was meaning more for internet viewing. There is a way to record movies on FCE Ultra but I don't know what form it records in.

Thus I suggested frapz. See if it works with ultra.

the loser of the league should have to do something really embarrasing like get a hello kitty tattoo on their lower back

We actually have done podcats before. We have another computer in that room and usually the odd man out has to announce. I think we'll try to set something up for the World Series this year.
Why don't you just let the RBI announcers do their thing?
pretty funny thread on our league forum... worth a look

I guess being the commish of the Ellensburg league I have to report some sad news. After two great seasons of console play (including the Season 2 RBI draft) the Ellensburg League will not continue into a third season.
I don't think it's that we got bored of RBI, but it was such a challenge to get 10 owners on site at the same time. I was very pleased with how the two seasons went and maybe there will be a third season somewhere down the road. Thanks for checking in with us RBI community.

fuck it...run with 5 guys and give em each 2 teams.
dont be a bunch of sallys.
Well... we all parted and went our separate ways... but I'm back into league play and I'm tearing everyone a new one. The two guys that won all four RPC titles between themselves are a combined 2-10 against me and I guarantee that the Polish Rifle and our friend Jared are better than the paperweight champs I've played online. After I bring the title home to Houston in the RPC I'm going to try and bring Polish and Jared on board for the following season.
