most hated player

[Gwynn3k]

that is tommy brookins for ya,  he'll either kill ya or be a non-factor...  who knows which guy will show up each game and that is where it takes a solid manager who knows when to play him and when to sit him.    

[Burnzky]

I've always taken out Brookens, usually sub in madlock there, even before the Sheridan hype PS was a full-time player for me, he always went in for Herndon. Now Brookens is playing well, its a tough decision now, Madlock and Sheridan and Brookens, 2 are going to start, one will have to sit.  Usually depends on a righty or lefty throwing.

Well that last post by Burnzky was by GPines, forgot to log out. Another free one for Aaron.

Heep (who you may remember was the guy who first sent pics of the mini-pitcher glitch), myself and a few others need to start an anti-Brookens club.  If he is on, it's very tough to beat Detroit..

I am not the Det guru, those like the others, I win most of my games with them.  I always go PS in the five spot and Bergman at six.  Chet Lemon is a non-factor for me, though he's absolutely crushed me last night.  Been talking too much smack about him lately.  Lips likes to keep Lemon in until there is a lefty on first, then it's Bergman and lefty-hit time...

We all still haven't seen the mini-pitcher glitch in action...

i am going to have to put jesse orozco on my hated players list.   the guy is so damn old he owes jesus money...  i dont see how he is still pulling a pay check.  if the only qualification is to be a lefthanded reliever then maybe tug mcgraw can come back too.    RETIRE already!

[Gantry]

Does that mean Orosco made a roster?  He has the double fame - RBI legened and one of the ugliest players in the league.  Not at Willie McGee level, but he's certainly no looker...

its been a while since ive posted because ive been working alot, but an anti-tom brookens club stired my stew a little too much to let it go....i can take some solice in knowing its because the man has been a clutch performer and a terror to you guys and that fuels the hatred...but boys, much like the messiah coming to set you free, you must accept and embrace his glory....you will only torment yourself more until you realize the man cannot be stopped...he will never stop until all are converted to covenant.....so please, gentlemen, i beg you...give in to the ganduer which is tom brookens baseball.....

[GPines]

I'm pretty sure I saw Jesse Orosco warming up in the Dodger bullpen the other day. He looks like he is about 50 years old!

[Gwynn3k]

in reality the old fart is 45.  he is so damn old i dont see how he is getting hitters out.  what does it say for the dodgers minor league system if they are relying on this stale piece of poo.  one of these days his arm might just fall off.

[Heep]

Gantry,
I would gladly start a brookens hate club, the only teams i play with are the mets and sometimes the cards (yes i know they are prolly two of the worst hitting teams, i just love the speed they bring) anyway the only team i ever face it seems like is the dann tigers and i always try to keep ojeda in for just one more batter and brooken makes me pay for it, damn him.

Also i meant to tell you we had another glitch that happened the other day, similar to the minipitcher glitch only this time he was standing on second base and he looked giant, it was really weird, we took a picture, i'll send it to you as soon as i get it.

[Gantry]

A Brookens hate club might defnitely be in the works, looks like we can scrap up a few more members...

Send that pic over and I'll put it up right away, keep up the good work.  Wondering if I'm ever going to see any form of the mini-pitcher glitch...

Boy, the night owls are on the board!  3 users and a guest at 3am?

please guys...tom has feelings too.......

as far as glitches go, i think ive found a way to make them happen...now this isnt a hundred percent effective, but works at about a 75% clip....what you need to do is press start and pause the game where you can make the pitcher and the batter not be on the screen yet....this is most effective after a half inning or if you can do it before a new batter....if you do it and substitute a hitter, the pitcher has the tendency to be located somewhere else...ive had pitcher at second, pitcher located about halfway between the mound and home....sometimes at third....ive had the pitcher be located on the plate and sometimes even behind it....and it will stay like this until the batter makes contact....so try that if you can, im not sure if anyone else had noticed that

[GDavis]

Worst player is Robby Thompson.  Has he ever gotten a hit??? EVER?  He has 10 homers but i think its impossible to hit a dinger with him.  If anyone has let me know.

[GPines]

GDavis, I put in Aldrete for Thompson, and Speilman in leadoff.

I would like to hear about making the glitch happen by pressing start before the pitcher and hitter get set. Anyone else had any luck, I will try it later tonight.

[Gantry]

Like Piner, somehow I missed bban's post about the moving pitcher glitch.  I have yet to see this glitch happen live, so I'll definitely give it a shot.  Though nothing will happen until after tourney time...

As an update, I have been kicking Potsie's ass the last couple weeks.  Have 6 victories in 7 games or somtehing like that.  Cali is really starting to swing and Potsie is losing his Detroit touch.  Played only one game tonight, 5 inning slaughter with Cali and 14 dingers.  Last game before the tourney, I'm ready...

like i said boys....it doesnt work everytime and you need to make a substitution to make it happen....with your batter...its best if it is between innings....cause then you can keep hitting start fast and get it before they set....i did it to t yesterday and my pitcher was standing right in front of the plate

[MNTwinkies]

Nobody more than I hate than J Clark of the Cardinals... you get used the the unpowerful hitting of the Cards, but then JC comes up at clean up hitter and goes yard...

[Black_Thing]

Brookens rules!  I have no quarrel with Brookens.  However, I hate Tony Armas.  Not only are his stats complete bullshit (they never really happened), but he is a big fucking turd!

[Gwynn3k]

tony armas' production has dropped steadily over the years.  when the game first came out, he was one of the most feared hitters in the game... i think his hands have slowed like moises alou's and his best years are behind him...  on top of this, the guy grounds into way too many double plays.

[Black_Thing]

I will now take this opportunity to correct myself.  Armas' stats did actually happen.  However, they happened in 1984, not 1986.  Also, Reggie Jackson's stats are from the 1982 season.
