Please download the ROM attached---FRBI VI II. It has your #2 SP starting the game. If you play the week 2 game file on the first ROM you downloaded, it will not work properly. So you'll need this ROM for all even numbered week games, until there is a change with somebody's lineup---and when that happens---I'll attach a new ROM.

Very true, thanks for the vote of confidence!
G*d dammit...

I will bet you a testicle that the Badasses win.
Sack up or shut up.
Opportunity to make bet lasts until game is posted, no Darky intervention, usual stipulations, blahblah
I thought we were playing you, my apologies. You will destroy the Sally Cunts, fkn pwn
I ran a sim of the Cunts- Badasses game. Badasses won in the bottom of the 9th on a 2-run, 2 out walkoff by Bell, 17-16. Quite the game.
Mike's fake sims are funny every time.
Uhhhh
Week 2 completed and attached....
Last two games attached...
When will they be YouTubed?
I'm about to upload the games right now Nacho...
And nevermind if the zip file says week 1. My bad...I typed in week 1 on accident, they are week 2 games.
Good game with the 'hammocks...
Yeah, I lost the same fucking way. That's frustrating to see a nice 6 run lead get destroyed and then some. I had some hope but even with the HR, that last ups for me wasn't enough.
Cripes. 0-2 when I could very well be 2-0.
CUNTED!!!!

I was purposely trying to avoid reading anything at all until Darky posted the YouTube clip to avoid spoilers. But if the results will be spoiled, I'm glad they are spoiled in the cause of victory.
I want to take a gun to my head, but it seems to be missing... last person seen with it was Donnie Moore...
good game brad. i see where the speed came in handy a couple times.
Should be a few more minutes before the quality of the video is much better, but the video is of much better quality than the week 1 games on youtube---I adjusted the settings on my camera from standard to high quality filming and filmed it a bit further back this time.
The other two videos are still loading...taking some time today on youtube.

Some questionable managing on our side there - Witt came out for a reliever in the top of the 8th, but they let him bat in the bottom of the 7th, grounding out with two men on base.
Fighting Artichokes-OC game is being stubborn in getting processed. Give it a few TBT...
Here is the PD-GE game...
Poopydicks at Galactic Empire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGNqU2ggzwg)
Finally, it's processed.
Fighting Artichokes at OC Legions of Doom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ2zwoV1dMU)
A suggestion for people who want to avoid spoilers, perhaps dark nuggets could change the subject of the thread when the games are setup...
Or just post youtube videos in the same post as the games in the other format.
Really Poopydicks? Really?
Did they lose again? Not surprising imo

I just re-watched the end of the game on YouTube, and Darky's "GAME OVER!" yell at the end just about made me soil myself.

That was actually my son who said that hahaha. For some reason he wanted me to lose.
You can hear my kids with the tv going in the background in all the youtube games I filmed tonight.
Someone call or PM whenever Mcgwire's 4th inning home run finally lands....
Bunch of no talent, heartless sacks of garbage. THIS WILL NOT STAND!
Pabst Blue Ribbons dominate and mercy rule Fighting Ulrachers in seven
Arkansas (AP) - B.Blyvn and D.Sutton combined to silence the Ulracher bats, and C.Lemon went 5-5 as they led the Pabst Blue Ribbons to a dominating mercy rule victory over the Fighting Ulrachers in seven innings.
The story of the day was the brilliant pitching performances by B.Blyvn and D.Sutton. Blyvn tossed 4 scoreless innings and D.Sutton gave up only 2 runs in 3 innings of long relief. Both pitchers located the ball with precision and effectively changed speeds all afternoon to keep the Ulrachers off-balance.
Offensively, C.Lemon jumpstarted the Blue Ribbons offense from the leadoff spot as he went 5-5 at the plate. HoJo collected 3 hits, homered, and drove in 3 while Hrbek also registered 3 hits, drove in 3, and ended the game with his 3 run walk off-mercy rule homer.
The Pabst Blue Ribbons have now won 5 straight dating back to week 20 from last season.
Fighting Ulrachers 1-1, (1-1)
Pabst Blue Ribbons 2-0, (2-0)
Galactic Empire annihilate Poopydicks in six
Imperial Center (AP) - The Empire used great hitting and good pitching as they jumped out to a 11-3 commanding lead after three innings and never looked back as they mercy ruled the Poopydicks 18-8 in six innings.
The Poopydicks momentarily made a game of the Dove RBI divisional contest when they scored 4 runs in the fifth inning to reduce the Empire lead to 11-8. However, that would be as close as they would get. The Empire responded with a 4 runs in the bottom half of the fifth, held the Poopydicks scoreless in the top of the sixth, and put the Poopydicks away in the bottom half of the inning when D.Strwby hit his second mammoth shot of the game, a two-run walk off-mercy rule towering shot that left the sold out Imperial Center Stadium in awe.
The Galactic Empire are now 4-0 all-time against the Poopydicks. The Empire handed the Poopydicks their first defeat in season IV, and swept them (3 game series) in the Dove RBI LCS.
Poopydicks 0-2, (0-1)
Galactic Empire 2-0, (2-0)
OC Legions of Doom hold off Artichokes, pick up their first victory
San Luis Obispo (AP) - The OC Legions of Doom got great pitching and used their touted power to hold off the feisty Artichokes 12-10 on a sunny and pleasant day at Sinsheimer Field.
The OC held a comfortable 10-4 lead going into the 7th inning, but the Artichokes scored 2 in the 7th and two runs the 8th to tighten up the contest 10-8.
In the bottom of the 8th inning, the OC Legions of Doom responded with a 2-run homer by J.Rice to give them a 12-8 lead going into the last inning.
Worrel came in to preserve the lead, but the Artichokes fought back as Heep came off the bench to hit his second pinch hit homer of the year which was followed by a pinch hit double by Dykstra. Schfld singled, Burks reached first base on a fielder's choice, and Dykstra eventually scored on a Colman double that hit the top of the fence in right field with two outs. With runners on second and third, R.Jackson stepped up to the plate with the game on the line. Worrel reached down for something extra, and got the dangerous Jackson to ground out and picked up the save.
Brookn and Dwning combined to go 8-10 and three homeruns to lead the OC on offense.
Fighting Artichokes 1-1, (1-0)
OC Legions of Doom 1-1, (0-1)
Rebel Alliance use late comeback rally to edge BananaHammocks
Madison (AP) - Things were looking good for rookie owner Turd to capture his first victory at Porkins Memorial Stadium. The BananaHammocks were up 12-6 after 6 innings and in full control of the game, until the tragic 8th inning. The Alliance exploded for 8 runs in the bottom of the eigth to take a 14-12 lead and C.Shrld held off the BananaHammocks final surge as the Rebel Alliance picked up their first victory of the year, 14-13 in a Dove RBI divisional game.
The Alliance sent 12 batters to the plate in the 8th inning, exploded for 8 runs off 9 hits, and did much of the damage with two outs by scoring 5 runs off 6 hits including a key 2 run shot by M.Nokes which thrusted the Alliance ahead for good.
Stanly picked up the loss in the game in his 2/3 innings of short relief work. The veteran surrendered 5 runs off 6 hits in his rough outing. On the other hand, the Alliance's bullpen did a masterful job of not allowing the game to get out of hand as Morris, Orosco, and Shrld only gave gave up a combined 1 run from the 7th inning on.
In the top of the 9th, it appeared that Shrld was about to blow another save after a pinch hit homerun by Bergmn with one out. With a one run lead, Shrld settled down and retired Seitzer and Garner in order.
"Yeah, I lost the same fucking way. That's frustrating to see a nice 6 run lead get destroyed and then some. I had some hope but even with the HR, that last ups for me wasn't enough. Cripes. 0-2 when I could very well be 2-0" said a disgruntled Turd to the press.
BananaHammocks 0-2, (0-2)

Sally Cunts late explosion earns victory
Oklahoma City (AP) - Down 13-7 going into the seventh inning in a Gantry divisional game between the Cunts and the Badasses at a shivering cold Doc Ellis Magical Mushroom Park, the Sally Cunts went on an 11-1 run in the final three innings for an impressive 18-14 come-from-behind victory over the Awesome Badasses.
With a Badass 13-7 lead, D.Moore was torched for 9 hits and 9 runs in the top of the 8th inning. T.Raines broke a 13-13 tie with a 3 run laser that left the park within seconds, and DwEvans added a 2 run shot to highlight the Cunt rally.
The Cunt bullpen was sharp as D.Smith only allowed 1 run and King surrendered no runs. The lack of offense by the Awesome Badasses in the final three innings played a major role in their collapse at home.
The top of the Cunts lineup, Raines, Murphy, and DwEvans, combined to go 11-18 at the plate with 3 homeruns and 10 RBI's. D.Murphy hit a pair.
J.Bell led the Badass offense with a single, two doubles, 1 HR, and 4 RBI's while Teufel contributed from the 8-hole by going 4-4 with a double and 2 RBI's.
Sally Cunts 2-0, (1-0)
Awesome Badasses 0-2, (0-1)
Darky, are you using a more liberal save rule for fantasy RBI? Worrell started the ninth with a four-run lead, which shouldn't be a save situation. I know you credit pitchers with wins for four-inning starts, so not sure if you're liberal about saves, too.
a pitcher can create his own save opportunity.

Considering the inflated scores of FRBI games compared to MLB games I'd say that holding a 5-6 run lead could easily be considered a save.

Worrel faced Reggie Jackson with two outs and runners on second and third with the score 14-12. The tying run was at second base and winning run at the plate. Worrel gets the save and yes----I'm going to be more liberal in registering saves as RePeat mentioned in his last post. Holding a 4-6 run lead should be considered a save in my book in FRBI, what do you guys think?
Banana Hammocks is a fantastic name...
Why thank you.

Saves:
Rule 10.20 in the Official Rule Book states:
Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions:
(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and
(2) He is not the winning pitcher; and
(3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions:
- (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or
- (b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces; or
- (c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.
The "Hold":
The hold is not an official statistic, but it was created as a way to credit middle relief pitchers for a job well done. Starting pitchers get wins, and closers -- the relief pitchers who come in at the end of the game -- get saves, but the guys who pitch in between the two rarely get either statistic. So what's the most important thing one of these middle relievers can do? "Hold" a lead. If a reliever comes into a game to protect a lead, gets at least one out and leaves without giving up that lead, he gets a hold. But you can't get a save and a hold at the same time.
what i'm saying is that i believe a pitcher can pitch poorly enough to create a save situation. example: pitcher with 4 run lead comes in gives up a run a two, but still ends the game with the lead not changing hands and his team still wins. i think he gets a save for that.
Hey TBG, if the devil is in the details does that make you the devil?
>:D
actually, after reading the official rules, my interpretation isn't supported. i wonder if the interpretations and common explanations see it the way i do... i've been under the impression that if the tying run comes on deck at any time, and the lead doesn't change hands, AND the pitcher ends the game--he would get a save.
TBG, you've embarrassed all of us.
Agreed, 30 day ban for TBG?
wikipedia confirms that a pitcher can't create his own save.
The save rule should be changed, I'm with TBG...

So, you think that if a pitcher comes in with a 10-0 lead with 2 outs in the 9th, and gives up 9 runs before the last guy grounds out, then he should get a save?
I mean, a save is a pretty arbitrary made up bullshit statistic, but come on now, do you want to reward guys for sucking?
Jim Edmonds always got credit for making spectacular catches when he made the situation by not just sprinting and getting under the damn ball in the first place.
But never got a statistical reward for it.
A lot of pitching stats are pure BS. Wins and Losses are absolute horseshit too. I prefer Quality starts, since they're purely dependent on the pitching and not at all on the pitcher's team's offense or relief pitching.

No, not with that kind of lead hahaha. Maybe a 4 or 5 run lead, nothing more. CRUCIFY ME!!!!111
Saves are crap. They're a purely situational stat that the management controls. I don't even think a pitcher that comes in with a 3 run lead and gives up 2 before closing it out deserves a save either.
I think what Darky is saying is, rather than just make it because the last pitcher "saved" a game that was only three runs different, for our purposes, make it more runs to qualify??

Yes....
So yes, I agree. Not if they caused it, necessarily, but lengthening the amount of runs needed.

I agree with this, but I still like the idea of tracking them, because it's a fantasy baseball league.

Sounds good - I was just checking to make sure, and I completely agree that increasing it to 5 or 6 or whatever you think is right is fine.
