Fantasy RBI Arcade Game thread. Rebooted from 2018

i've heard enough about sandberg

[BeefMaster]

The wild throw to third from the outfield happened twice in my game, and it always makes me nervous on offense - while it's generally a free run, it also is a terrific recipe for a TOOTBLAN when the trailing runner tries to advance from second. I often think I'd rather just have runners at the corners than a run in and a 50/50 shot of either a man on third or bases empty and an extra out.

[Shooty]

Never heard of the term TOOTBLAN before.  Had to look it up.

great stat. pretty sure beefy wrote about them in one of his twins previews/wrapups

Week 11

[Shooty]

If you would have told me Mantle would have gone homerless and that my team would commit 7 errors, I would have assumed I got mercied. 

[Shooty]

Error factor is set too high.  Don't like it.

[Shooty]

What a game between Sides of Beef and Purple Reign!

[Shooty]

The Cleveland Spiders are a very appropriately named team.  They aren't good.   

[Darky]

That was an interesting slate there! Different pitchers this time around and home-away flipped as well as a fresh random generator. We got a logjam for the top 6 teams.

Yeah, last time the errors will be set at 14, but it was stormy across Arcade Republic.

Man, I was expecting a tight game, but then Al Dark comes out of his shows for this game and Drysdale finally was on! We got some unsung heroes. And Jackie continues to have a huge year and overachieve.

Well, when you are Team Pedriq, you don't win games.  That's been established.  My pitching is fine by FRBI standards but good lord is my hitting dog shit.

SO MANY MOMENTUM SWINGS

[Nacho]

I've lost a few games in the ninth already this season and it almost happened again. Glad to see a change of fortune in this one.

[Darky]

Swinging Dicks demolish and mercy rule first place Hulk Hogans in 7 and win 2nd straight. Hulk Hogans lose 2nd straight by way of mercy rule, now share first place with Montreal.

McGwire blasts a pair of HR (second in the league) & ties FRBI RBI record with 9, Lou Brock goes 5/6 with 2 2B/5R/2RBI, DiMaggio shines with 5H, HR, Marris hit a pair of HR, and Clemens has outstanding pitching performance with 2 significant Ks with runners in scoring position.

ERA leader M.Scott gets torched and WFord struggled as well against a motivated Swinging Dicks hitters.

Ryno bewilderingly benches Lou Brock immediately after his 5 hit game. 

[Darky]

The Empire aid the misery to the Cleveland Spiders with the season's quickest mercy rule game. Empire now on 3-game winning streak. AlDark's huge day (3H, 2HR, 2B, 4RBI) carries Empire. Drysdale masterful in 3 quick innings.

The Cleveland Spiders currently have worst losing percentage in the history of the FRBI League after 11 games and are on track to be the worst team in FRBI history.

[Darky]

Montreal Exposé have easy time with Steely Dans Revenge and move back into first place by tiebreaker.

Mantle homerless for first time this year, but Reggie Jackson (5RBI, 2HR, 3B 4H) and BWilms hit a pair of shots.  WSpahn pitches complete game in strong outing and lowers is ERA for the third straight game.

Steely Dans Revenge get miserable day from Dawson (1-5, 0RBI) and once again couldn't explode for a big inning. Pitching good enough this game, but still last in the league (19.53) and not a good measure in any league despite what Tempo told the media that his pitching was good enough by most measures.

[Shooty]

I know he's a pitcher, bur Spahn's .047 BA is incredibly bad.

[Darky]

That is really bad. Guidry is 14-28 and that meant extra at-bats and some bleeder rbi's. Dyrs is 5-14 for a .357 clip. I need to create a stat to see how often teams win when the pitcher has 2,3,4 hits and so on. I'll look at the pitcher's hitting stats and see who's raking or not ... as far as a pitcher. Pitchers getting hits are damn killers.

Anyways, been trying to fix a mistake in the U7-BFB game I am scoring and it's taking me forever since the program isn't smooth when I have to go back and fix a human input error early in the game. I had to do a few innings over and then a double entry happens when I thought I did everything right. So right now it has a ph not showing getting an at-bat and a sp having too many at-bats. If I can't fix it, I'll just post the inaccurate and fix the stats in the database since I am not about to spend another hour trying to fix it. 

As soon as I get the last two games scored and posted, I'll post the updated team standings and schedule for week 12. Week 12 will happen today at 4pm Dee Nee time. I'm at work and got the time on my hands.

Also, I'm fairly certain I will be a new laptop tomorrow and that'll mean we'll be going Twitch live hopefully for week 13 or 14  - depending how soon I can figure out Twitch.

I didn't look at the stats before posting that.  But in my defense, my team has a lot of scoreless innings (both hitting and pitching).  The downfall is that the pitching will give up no runs for three straight innings and then give up 8 runs in one inning and 6 in another.  It's very all or nothing

Yeah, it seems like that with the constant big innings your staff gives up after a string of good innings. Then the huge problem is that your offense rarely has big innings or a string of semi rallies in consecutive innings. Doran and Bando are killing you, and then it just seems that the timely hits don't come and when they do come, the pitching falls apart. Maybe things can turn around if the random generator is kind to you. After the season, I may try and post some extra stats like scoring by inning for the season or how total times a team scored more than a X# of runs scored and surrendered in an inning. But hey man, Fighton got crippled by Foster's slow start and if the random generator is kind to him, maybe he has another win or two. You have lost some close games and you could easily be in the logjam right now, but the RBI gods aren't being nice to you, unfortunately.

This MWills for the Hulksters is hitting way over .500. I don't get it.
