Week 2 game file is attached, along with a text file with all of the lineups. The ROM is also public on Nightwulf's site. For the record, I went ahead and started the ROM from scratch and only moved players around by swapping them - I haven't touched the stats or anything else.

[fightonusc]

Realized while fiddling with stats that I had said we would swap SPs each week (your SP1 in Week 1 is your SP2 in Week 2). Updated ROM below.

EZ Listeners (1-0) @ GDavis and Friends (0-1)

Lol. Fuck you Ozzie.

That was a ton of TOOTBLANs.

Updated ROM with Darky's lineup edits.

Canadian Shooties (0-1) @ Rock City Diplomats (1-0)

[Darky]

Great game and the dead ball era continues! Another pitcher's duel that didn't disappoint.

So let's get to what ultimately decided the game. After back-to-back doubles and a run scored trimming the Canucks lead to 11-9 in the bottom of the 9th, and no outs, Heath hit a screamer that was snatched by Herr and then he quickly flipped the ball to Schlfd to get Madlck out for a DP and killing a potential game winning rally. A dejected Boggs flew out to the RF and that was the game ... that sudden!

The same type of double play with no outs happened just an inning before, in the bottom of the 8th. Down 11-8, Raines leads off with a double. Mr. October comes up with the crowd on their feet and the tension thick in the air. R.Jcksn hit a line drive right at Schfld and with Raines taking an aggressive secondary lead, he was doubled up. And just like that, it was 2 outs in the inning and all the momentum for Rock City deflated. Tramml then grounded out.

So two double plays in consecutive innings and two double plays that killed rallies really just deflated the Diplomats since there were no hits after those two double plays. Crazy! Oh yeah, Scott and Gooden combined for an astonishing 7 K's! The drop balls were working for them today!

Schmdt and McGwir showed up huge today! 8-10 and 3HR's from the 3 and 4 hole.

And another outstanding pitching effort by all the pitchers. Key and Scott were absolutely dealing and hitting spot after spot.

So the preseason favorite Canadian Shooties bounced back! Their offense is surprising me thus far with two straight low outputs in the first two games played. 6 jacks by the Shooties to only 1 hr hit by the RC Diplomats.

That game could have gone either way. Nomaaa gonna be livid after he witnesses those two soul crushing double plays!

[nomaaa]

helluva game. helluva game.

real rap, im proud of the boys. reggie flew out to the track, and heath hit it hard. we get computers putin and were never out of it. them runners stay moving. maddog looks rabid in rbi spots. we put em out there, had a chance to come back and caught a few stray bullets.

great game by the shooties.

[Shooty]

Love the newspaper headline after the game. Canada Wins!

Gutty win but I'm going to have to change my lineup around after two mediocre games.

Reggie also flied ott with runners on second and third with two outs in the 6th inning.  Jackson doesn't seem to be clutch.

7 strikeouts - the Shooties were dealing.

Reggie also flied ott with runners on second and third with two outs in the 6th inning.  Jackson doesn't seem to be clutch.

I know, I've mentioned before how he is overrated because he just doesn't put up the big numbers that his power and contact ratio demands. For a guy with a contact of 23 and a power rating of 945, he just doesn't produce like the Dawsons, Bells, McGwire's, and Baylors and so on with players who are over 920 in power. I was going to mention Canseco, but he's also in that category due to leading off! But fuck, Reggie torched me when the Empire was routed by the Diplomats, but there was no pressure on him. That is, when the pressure if off, Reggie hits. There's some hidden code or ghost in the machine that has reversed Mr. October's clutchness.

It's really fascinating how some players out produce their parameters and other players under produce. Take Speier for instance, WTF does he eat for breakfast? For a guy with 28 contact and 807 at power, he sure does hit like he is 12C and 865P. The dude went 4/5 last game with 5 RBI and a jack. Rarely do guys with similar parameters produce like that.


BTW, FIGHTON, sorry to be a nuisance, but you can you please double check my lineup so that it's right. I posted the new lineup a few posts back and it didn't match the rom. Maybe it's fixed on your rom file, but just want to remind you.
