no mercy rule could be interesting

those arms are gonna be sore

[Darky]

Changed my mind. The mercy rule will be set at 15. Errors will be at 5 baseline, except for game 3 in both the 5 and 7 game series - it'll be 12 for those games.

Lets start with Spahn on the bump.  Don't care about home/road so giv me whatever...unless nomaaa has a preference (then do the opposite).

[Shooty]

Looks like Beefy will set up Zoom so we can have a mini watch party.

[Darky]

Really? If true, beyond awesome!

I forgot to mention that the stats from the regular season will be inputted in the rom - so the stats for the players will show their numbers from the season.

Fixed the mistakes, sheesh. WildCard games are today and the 5-game series starts tomorrow. My bad.

[Darky]

The pitchers' ERA in the ROM will represent runs per inning. There are no long ERAs hack, I can just go up to 9.99 in the rom.

[Nacho]

If one of the playoff teams has a covid outbreak, does Purple Reign get to step in for them and take their spot?
