Yea man, send it.
Nope sorry, I'm at work right now. I posted last night that I might not be able to play today and that Saturday afternoon/evening would be best. I'm going out tonight, but I'll see if I have time today between when I get home from work and when I'll leave. Doubt it but I'll let you know.eznark said:

Are there any rules about how far ahead we can play? I see a few ppl on that I can play some series with, but they're like the 8th/9th series of the season. Do I have to wait for whomever is next on the schedule, or can we play ahead?

It's always when I have multiple people on base. Had a guy on 2nd, hit what looked like a double. Was easily going to get my guy home, but i wasn't sure I could get my hitter to second base. A split second before I was to score I hit the R button, both guys run back and I get out. No run. :'(
I'm just a retard at it.

what the fuck are you talking about? Our connection was good. If you were having problems it was on your end.
At the beginning of the game I asked if you were ok with early steals or not. You said you were cool with it. I can't look up the box score, but I certainly didn't steal more than 3 bases during the entire game. My season stats are 4 stolen bases and 2 caught over 4 games. You're a great player and had me on edge the whole time, but don't give bullshit excuses for losing.
You tried cheap baserunning (not stealing, but the types of baserunning decisions you'd never see in a regular game) multiple times and got caught each time. If you didn't do that, you likely would've won. Stop projecting. You only had an issue at the end with 2 strikes because you were about to lose. Offering a friendly quit in the bottom of the 9t, 2 outs, 2 strikes is a total bitch move. Get over yourself.
You can control individual runners. Just hit the left thumbstick in the direction of the base the player is running to, then use the face buttons to tell him where to go (circle-1st, triangle-2nd, square-3rd, x-home). In your example above, you could hit up on the thumbstick to control the guy running to second (his icon will start flashing), then hit circle to send him back to first, allowing your other guy to cross home.turnbuckle said:
I find these controls pretty intuitive. I just get confused/panic when I want to advance multiple runners. :lol
turnbuckle said:
Here's a hint. Use the left stick to point towards the runner you want to advance and then hit the L1 button. So if you have guys on first and second and you hit a liner to an outfielder and only want the guy at third to advance point your left stick towards third and then hit the button.
Only reason I helped you is because of how much you make me laugh when we play. Damn your humor
Edit: Oh snap. Guess what I saw. (This doesn't really go with anything, besides the oh snap part, that commercial is just stuck in my head)

Hahaha, I know the baserunning controls but I get anxious really easy and screw it all up. I've definitely improved from where I used to be...if you think I look ridiculous now you should've seen the triple plays I used to get myself in on bases loaded hits :lol
:lolturnbuckle said:
You don't make any sense. I couldn't talk to you during the game. All I got was your annoying message box every fucking three seconds.
I did cheap base running? Don't think so. Anyone who keeps throwing from the outfield to first base on every play isn't playing simulation style baseball.

We had drama last night. Didn't I post about Doytch and my game where he scored the go-ahead run on a lag glitch?LJ11 said:
We're on the same page then, brother! I think I have a Youtube video of a crazy baserunning screw-up in a game I had against Rors. Let me search for it. :lolturnbuckle said:

Yup. Is there any way to get replays after online games are over? I honestly don't know what Sanjuro has issue with to begin with, but if there was a way of pinpointing what it was that'd be nice. Seriously, I thought it was a well played game all around. I was in good spirits the entire time - when he was ahead, when it looked like he was gonna break the tie, and when I scored the winning run. If there was something going on that he didn't like, he could've posted in this thread when it happened or soon after. I'm not opposed to allowing friendly quits for legit stuff (like what was going on with Ror's screen yesterday) but Sanjuro is having a tantrum.
What exactly do you have a problem with? I'm not trying to defend turn but I have played him multiple times and have never ever had a problem with him.Sanjuro Tsubaki said:
Well..Except for when I line drived his pitcher and the ball popped into the air causing my runner on first to act like a child, but that wasn't his fault

I always throw to first base on weak hits to the outfield. 98% of the time the toss is late, but I've gotten a couple force outs that way with slow baserunners jogging to first on what should've been a bloop single.
Sanjuro Tsubaki said:
Likewise. Not sure what your issue is. I won't send messages in game to you anymore. You can't send them during a pitch and I never sent them during a play (not sure if you can do that, either). Geez most of the messages were talking about pitches you had I thought were nice, or talking about your impressive record and how my streak was in jeopardy because of it.
You didn't score on me after the second or third inning. That's why you lost. Next game you'll probably go yard on me several times. That's how this shit works.

How do you view the box score? I looked on the schedule list and it only shows the final score.
turnbuckle said:

Just go to the website. It's the easiest way. I'm not sure how you do it in the league menu but I think if you go to your recent games it will let you view it there in the game.
And ^ :lol :lol :lol :lol

Missed this earlier.
Your most recently used pitcher(s) get their stamina knocked down, so it doesn't matter when you use them to pitch, just as long as they get rest. If you use your first 3 starters in week 1 and flex to week 3, your 3rd starter is going to be spent for game one.
I don't expect people to know which pitcher should go in game 1 of week 6, wouldn't make sense for people to project their rotation that far out. Just go with your rotation, give guys rest so they don't get hurt, if you gamble and someone gets hurt on a pickoff move to first don't come crying for an FA.
