My team rankings

[danehill917]

So I am playing RBI again for the first time in 20 years, and here are my team rankings:

I know Houston blows, but they're my team from back in the day. Just love Nolan Ryan.

I need to experiment with a few of the teams I never really used.

1 Detriot
2 Boston
3 Minnesota
4 California
5 Houston
6 San Francisco
7 New York
8 St. Louis

Amended!

I forgot how good San Fran was. They have nice depth on offense and pitching staff.

1 Detriot
2 Boston
3 San Francisco
4 Minnesota
5 California
5 Houston
7 New York
8 St. Louis

Wow...not a lot of love for California.  In my opinion, they have the best subs in the game.  So much so, that I typically sub them in for starters during the 1st at bat.  Ruppert Jones is solid!!!  I used to be a Detroit/Boston guy, but switched over to California

[BDawk]

Correct, Cali is one of the big three and is in the same boat as Bos and Det

[BeefMaster]

I like the Twins, but I think putting them over Cali is a huge stretch.  They have very little team speed and the worst subs in the game, leading to some big lineup holes that can't be patched.

The Cards are my favorite team to use, but I realize they're not very good, so I'm not going to try and defend them all that much.

Bruno on the Twins is one of my personal favorites in the entire game...same with Brookens.  I like guys that start with the letter B

[JoeDirt]

Interesting ranking.  Are you using 2 SP or 1 SP per game?  Judging from your rankings, I'm fairly certain you're a 2 SP player.

I hate Minnesota on RBI.  I always play horribly with them and they always give me fits when I play against them. 

[Reds]

Boston
detroit
Cali
Minny
St louis
Houston
San fran
NY

fuck all star teams

what about bench players that start with the letter H?

[Big Hath]

I hate Minnesota on RBI.

yep, not crazy about them either

[danehill917]

Wally Joyner, Reggie, and Ruppert J. are consistent beasts, but the main reason I have Cali below the Twins is that I hate the Angels' pitching staff. I seem to remember always getting bombed when I used them.

Minnesota's 2-5 hitters can rake. They are really tough if Gladden has a good game, but he's inconsistent.

[danehill917]

The Chicago tournament in June is 2SP, correct?

That's what I was doing the rankings for.

I'm sure my opinions will change once I start playing good human opponents again and get my arse handed to me.

Bruno on the Twins is one of my personal favorites in the entire game...same with Brookens.  I like guys that start with the letter B and have awesome mustaches.

am i the only guy who hasn't played with a bulk of the teams enough in the past 20 years to be able to say which ones i like using more than others?

i play as houston almost all the time, and sometimes boston.  i think i've played a few games as new york in the past few years, but i can't think of the last time i played as any other team.

[Darky]

California is a better team than the Twins if you know how to pitch. California's SP's are a generic version of San Francisco's, but still good enough to get you that win if you do utilize that above average offense. Both bullpens aren't the best, but I'd give the edge to California.

SF is the number one team. It's just how it is.

Dude, this is the internet - it's your right as an American to give uninformed opinions on every single subject known to man. 

[edfan]

I don't think that you are alone in that, anyway.  I don't remember the last time I played with NY or SF.  I remember their general strengths and weaknesses, though.  I will play most 2 player games with Houston just because most people I play against are beginners and it evens the playing field a little bit.  I usually go with Ca in 1 player, because I know that it is not going to be a competitive game either way.  My usual goal is to hit a home run from every spot in the order before getting to the 10 run rule.  I have only ever got to 8 with Dt

Please explain.

Cali pitching staff is all righties, and mostly soft tossers.

Min has a lefty starter in Viola and 2-3 guys with good fastballs, including Senor Smokage.
