RBI Manifesto

[JoeDirt]

Like rdub, right?

[Gantry]

HIYO!

[TbT]

Haven't played 2SP in ages, but I tend to rely on relievers taking the hill to start the game quite a bit in 1 SP.

Guys like Tudor or the SF wrecking crew are the exceptions obviously and always start, but there's at least a handful of guys who make great options to start and sometimes roll thru 3 innings with great ease.

[JoeDirt]

In 1 SP, a team like SF is shit.  in 2 SP, it really solidifies SF.  Same for Ca.

In best of 3 series(how the games meant to be played) SF has a nice game 2 advantage over most.  The game changes completely when you factor in some game 2 starters.

[JoeDirt]

You're insane.  1 game series or 3, SF's sp cannot go more than 4 innings most of the time.  That leaves 5 innings for Robinson and Garrelts...not a good idea.

[TbT]

BULL MESS!  Throw strikes and dont give up bombs. 

[JoeDirt]

strikes = tired pitcher. 

[TbT]

4-5 innings does not always equate to the pitcher being done.  Most every lineup has some bums in it a tiring arm can still tackle.

I love 1 SP

[JoeDirt]

remember when I beat you 20 out 20 times?

[ultimate7]

Stupid 2 SP, plus I didn't know about using Keith Hernandez against you

[fknmclane]

And Tim Raines...there's no escaping his wrath when facing off vs NL.  Ive lost countless games where the vaunted NL 2-6 hitter were held in check all game only to have Raines account for all their runs and prove to be the difference.

Hate that fucking asshole.

Easily my favorite player in RBI.  A buddy and I use to play all-star games frequently - he was always AL and I was always NL, and Raines' combination of power and speed was simply awesome.

Rock is the fkn man.  Easily as scary as Dawson.  Well, maybe not, but he's a fucking badass.

I'm down for a no reset tournament, I'm gonna go ahead and speak for Octo that he is as well.

Let's schedule this for December (some of us don't have kids of loved ones that we need to spend time with).

My manifesto is the same, growing up playing as NL and my friend playing AL, we played many games of this and RBI was enhanced by keeping stats for the game.  Hitting stats and pitching.  It was glorious.

I would be up for a tourney sometime. Was thinking about entering the $100 tournament in Chicago, but I would be up for a cheaper tuneup tourney so I can see how I do in competitive play.

New to the forum.

I live in Lexington, KY, but am originally from Chicago and went to NIU, where I think a bunch of guys on here went ?!

I prefer 1SP games, but 2SP is fine too. Really changes the game.

Look at this fucking guy...

[Attezz]

According to google results, this guy may be legit...

[danehill917]

What is the benefit of using relievers to start a game?

[Attezz]

If you're playing back to back games (with no reset), you can't use a starter two games in a row but you do get a reliever back for the next game. I typically start with a reliever and hope to jump out to a lead, if I do I tend to go as long as possible without using a starter, so that I can save them for the next game (because there's a pretty big advantage to having two SPs and two RPs available for one game).

Hope that helps!
