[Nails]

Combined 1986 Team

1 - Burks
2 - Strawberry
3 - Rice
4 - Jackson
5 - Baylor
6 - Ruppert
7 - Armas
8 - Joyner

B1 - DeCinces
B2 - D. Evans

Gotta have a lefty on the bench, that's a quality lineup

Nasty.

[BeefMaster]

The '87 team isn't as good, but it wouldn't be bad by any means...

Chili
Gibson
Hrbek
Evans
Brunansky
Jack Clark
Gaetti
Brookens

Will Clark
Lemon
Lindeman
Leonard/Coleman/Dee-Nee/whoever

Blyleven
Tudor
Berenguer
Worrell?

[RedBarron]

i don't know if you should include guys who's stats aren't 86 or 87l, such as Armas and Reggie

also, burks' stats on this game are from '87

[Attezzobal]

I'd prefer 87 (But I'm most familar with St. Louis, Detroit, and San Fran), no Trammell on 87??

Also, am I the only one that has trouble pitching (anything goes) with Blyleven? He's too damned good, I try to be far to pinpoint with him (plus, it's tough for me to make myself throw slow pitches, even on 0-2's) and it comes back to haunt me...Tudor and Krukow/Reushl I tend to have no problem with, but Blyleven is just too good.

I initially put Trammell in as the leadoff man for the '87 team, but Chili is nearly as fast and has much more power, so I put him there instead.  Trammell has less power than anyone on the '87 roster, although I could see putting him in for his speed/power combo or having him on the bench as an excellent PH.

It's a good lineup, but put Will Clark in the 87 starting lineup for Brookens.   Then put Sheridan/Nokes/Spilman on the bench for a lefty sub...

we don't have to do what you say just because you own the stupid site!










a very good thread.  more rbi talk is necessary.

[BDawk]

Is Hrbek deserving of being on the team?

[Nails]

HRbek is one of the most dangerous hitters in the league in my opinion.  Often underrated.

[Gantry]

There is no dobut that Hrbek belongs, he's a top10 player IMHO

[ultimate7]

Certainly Hrbek, at least on the bench.

I have trouble leaving off Krukow, but that's tough, 2 strong starters are there.

[Gantry]

Hrbek and Will Clark to me are both no-brainer starters on that team. 

I disagree with Brookens in the lineup and Lemon on the bench as well.  To me Trammell is better than both those guys and deserves a spot on the 1987 team.  Discuss...

[Nails]

Brookens and Lemon have more power, but Trammell is definitely a lot more consistent, which in the end means more production for me.  Add his speed, and he's one of the more well-rounded players in the game.  Trammell gets the call.

[fknmclane]

I second the call for Trammell.  No doubter.

[BDawk]

I like Brookens better than Trammell, but both should start.
Lemon would be a great bench guy.

Trammell has hit more first pitch of the game hrs than anyone in history.
I love when he hits one before the music starts.
Just the sound of the ball, fireworks ans cheering.

You ever taken your NES controller and just smelled it?  Shit, I'd play this game for free.

Your entire response confuses me.
1) what does smelling the controller have to do with my post?
2)What does playing the game for free have to do with either your first sentence or my post
3) why did you say you'd play RBI for free? Do you sometimes get paid for it?
4) By the way, what does your controller smell like?

[TβG]

i'm going to go out on a limb and say that fknmclane is alluding to the way a player loves the game of baseball.  smelling the leather of your glove perhaps?  a professional player would play the game for free because he loved it so much, maybe.

however, even out of context, i find mclanes post to be entertaining.

[Nails]

Isn't that Shoeless Joe in Field of Dreams?  I haven't seen that in years, but I thought he said something like that.
