Shiv2099, are you there? Have you even been on? You're the only one in the league who hasn't accepted my friend request. You're my next opponent.

lol this game is so bad

Aside from all the other awfulness yet another game in which the catcher overthrows the first basemen. I think it has happened in 75% of my league games.

Sony San Diego is atrocious and needs to be taken off this game.

Sorry, wasn't aware I had any pending friend requests, thought I had accepted them all. Kave_Man and I are due to play tonight, barring the unforeseen. Should be available either Friday or Saturday and Sunday.

Good series Sanjuro. Fuck those were some tough losses to take, felt like any one of them could have easily gone the other way.

yeah that is fucking stupid. this happens at least 2 times a game to me. either my catcher overthrows badly on a dropped 3rd strike, or my 3rd baseman overthrows. i have tried to gently tap the button to throw, tried to bullet it, whatever. just seems like errors are periodically programmed to happen

I just interpret those instances as directly correlative to what preceded them.

In the case of a dropped third strike, for instance, you're talking either a wild pitch or a passed ball that has just occurred; the overthrow can be understood as a variational consequence of that event just as much as it might be the catcher himself making a throwing error.

It's the end-result of the play that ultimately matters. For that at-bat, the game determined, for whatever reason, you didn't deserve the out. Maybe you made an ill-advised bullpen move earlier in the inning and an error is the price you pay. Maybe there was a perfect opportunity to pinch-hit a guy who would have made the perfect defensive upgrade the next inning but you whored to keep a big bat in the lineup and paid that price. Maybe that changeup in the dirt was a dumb-as-shit pitch. Whatever the case might be (I'm just making these examples up of course), thinking about it in those terms is a lot more fun than calling "bullshit" when something bad happens.

Except that it is bullshit. The most errors made by any catcher in all of 2011 was 13. I guaranty you the vast majority of those were on bad throws on steals that allowed the runner to advance. Overthrows to first on a dropped third strike happen at maybe 1/25th of the times it happens in this terrible game. It's awful and endemic of the overall lack of quality and polish by San Diego, a pathetically inept developer.

It's all good, I had some problems in the family come up the last few days that had to be sorted out. If you want I'm good to finally play tonight, Saturday morning/afternoon and Sunday afternoon/night.

I'd argue the ratio of strike 3 swings in the dirt in this league is much higher than what happens in real life.

I'm awake now, and will be probably until tomorrow afternoon if you and/or Frank get bored and want to hammer a game or three out.

I talked to ajf009 (Pirates owner) and he said he's going through Finals and shit, may back out of the league. If that's the case I'll have to resolve his games... however he did play/win a game so that series has to count.

My record isn't good, but I guess I can at least take pride in Jake Peavy having the best ERA in the league so far, ha.

That would be me. Do you have any time to play on weekday mornings? I was about to nap before I have to work and might not be around to play until about 3 or 4 am. If I had the schedule of a normal human, I'd totally be down for losing my three games tonight, but it isn't so.

You lasted longer than I thought you would. Don't feel bad, this game is fucking garbage.

Almost never. We're still the series after this one though so we can try to play this weekend?

I have the Pirates next, I guess that is three free wins?
