They are using the current rosters. I honestly don't care what people do outside starting pitchers multiple days...actually injuries are on, so knock yourself out with that.

Final

Rough game. I made no adjustments after a few innings.. wtf? It would figure that an error by Jason Bay cost me the game. Ruined a great start by Johan, I'm gonna need to get into Practice. I don't care about the strikeouts, but the fact I didn't adjust... RAGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEE!

Good pitching Frank, went down looking time and again, you were painting corners.

Got lucky with that Bay drop.

Game 2
Mets - 2 - 6 - 0
Reds - 0 - 5 - 1
Final


OMG Jason Bay you field like ass in this game. Runs right to the spot and misplays a fly ball into a leadoff double to start the 7th. By some miracle I get out of it, then Bay leads off with a homer in the bottom of the inning... I never felt comfortable at any point in the game.

Man this series is a dogfight. Wasn't LJ11 one of the better pitchers last year with the Orioles?

Hey Corran, I'll be available anytime after 8pm EST if you want to get some games in. Won't be able to play tomorrow at all so I'd like to get a game (or 2 or 3) in tonight if possible.

I played my first game in about a month yesterday online and I was simply awful even on all-star. Struck out 19 times lol

Maybe something with PSN, I dunno. Played a game yesterday that was flawless and our first game today was great. The second game was lagfree until the third inning or so then it just went straight to hell.

What's your schedule look like Corran? I'll let you know when I can get game 3 in.

Good game Frank, caught a couple of breaks.

Seriously thought I ripped a couple of doubles into RF but Pagan cut them off. Also missed a few but so did you. Some loud outs.

Game 3
Mets - 1 - 4 - 2
Reds - 2 - 6 - 1
Final


Man that throwing error by Wright killed me, inning should've been over then Stubbs hit the go ahead single. However leadoff "double" (lol Gomes) in the 7th and I can't score? LJ11 I think never threw a slider inside corner for a strike the whole game AND I COULD NOT STOP SWINGING! Curse my unnaturally quick bat!

Mounted a two out rally in the 9th with a Bay single and wild pickoff throw in the stands (I was waiting for that all game, I felt you threw over a TON). Angel Pagan up, runner at 3rd and a 3-2 count. I know he might throw a slider in. What does he throw? Slider inside. What do I do? Yep... but an awesome game.

I almost nipped the corner a few times, but you're right some of them weren't even close. Wasn't trying to throw it for it a strike, but you kept fishing. You got with the curves repeatedly, hit a couple early and I couldn't lay off the rest of the game.

Definitely threw over a lot, had one pickoff, but you still had a few stolen bases. No idea why I threw over when I did, lucked out in the end.

You're my next opponent Sanj, lemme know when you think you could get some games in. Late tomorrow night or Saturday night are open for me as far as I know; late tonight may be open as well. Just need to know a bit in advance so I can adjust my schedule to fit the games in. Gonna be seeing Verlander vs Beckett in Detroit Sunday (praying the rain doesn't get in the way again FFS) so that probably won't work out unless it's later as well.

So we lost one potentially 2 people? If you want cancel the league and give me THREE DAYS. I have at least 3-5 people on standby who wanted to join last league. I can contact them and we'd have 12 easy.

Starting to feel like it just ain't gonna happen this year. I'll probably bow out if we scrap this one, but I understand the desire to get a bigger/better one going.

I'd like to be in again. I was in the first league, but but didn't get an invite the second time, because I didn't realize I had to abandon the first one in time.

It's hard because you have to assume 1-2 people leave due to shit happening/life (unless you have a Madden following and even THEY had people bail). When that happens in a 8 player league that's brutal...

I'm telling you people... one day, 32-team GAF League. IT WILL HAPPEN.

I would fucking love that

My issue with the league is that I'd like the schedule to be more flexible, allowing for people to play as far ahead as possible. Some days and some weeks I won't be able to play much, but then there are times where I could knock out several within a day or two. Being stuck only playing the most proximate series creates a lot of scheduling bottlenecks. Maybe it works better in madden because I'd assume you only play 1-2 games with an opponent during the course of a season, where like in real life baseball is played more frequently with everyone multiple times.

Sorry guys, yeah life has me a little more on the busy side than I thought it would, if you guys finish this one up, or do a massive one, and then another, I may be able to join then, just timing was just not right. Good luck though.

for now duane and pistolpete want back in. Corran, I'm ok to play now if this league continues.

It might be too ambitious to try now, but I'm telling you somehow, next year I WILL MAKE A 32-TEAM GAF LEAGUE A REALITY. Those who have seen my recruiting efforts in MLB/NBA gaf know I'm not kidding. I brought Cardinals fans to MLB-GAF. CARDINALS FANS!!

Mets - 3 - 8 - 1
Giants - 1 - 5 - 0
Final


Not a bad game, but I could not locate for crap the first 5 innings. Tejada had a key AB and Beltran had 3 steals. Of course another error by a LF (Pagan WTF?) and throwing to the wrong base almost kill me, left a cutter over the plate and Sandoval nearly hit one over Pridie's head. Would've tied it for sure.

You want to play again?
