Yea Prov that was my bad... but if u had just posted it, i mean i don't check every sim league every hour i'm on the forums...lol

But I try to read the posts ASAP

no need to apologize or "my bad" about anything...just trying to find ways to make things easier.

Prov, just kick all the slackers out, haha.

Also, make you team get injured, cool?

[Providence A's]

I had one of my best relievers out for a month and a half (4 weeks plus a "not healing fast enough" additional 2 weeks) along with two of my top prospects out for the season. I've had enough injuries thank you. We're not going to meet in the 1st round anyway. You'll get Houston and I'll get to destroy Leo.

haha ok...well houston is not much worse although I do currently have a winning record against them. SD always kills me so that's good.

How much effect does resting your starters have for the postseason?

[cjkalt]

If you rest them you can set the rotation order the way you want, cause they won't be tired

[bwitty24]

Yes but I want to know what affect it will have on them in the sim game, not real life.

[cjkalt]

Witty...that might the stupidest thing you've ever said... that was in regards to sim... If they don't pitch then come playoffs you can set the rotation anyway you want

[bwitty24]

I know...maybe it's just worded wrong...nvm, thanks cj

there are usually a couple days off before the playoffs start so most are fully rested. at worst you'll have a starter with 4 days rest and one with 3 days rest. And you can still use them anyway.

[HollywoodLeo]

I think what he was asking was, if he rests them too long will they be cold and possibly pitch bad?

I've turned the Padres into the real Padres (before this year)

Good enough to make the playoffs and get swept by the Cardinals!

[Providence A's]

I can't predict what will happen like that (in regards to Leo's 1st reply). There's no way of knowing. I thought he was asking about making sure the right guys were rested.

[bwitty24]

Thanks...Leo's reply was what I was trying to ask.

[Providence A's]

well, there's no way of predicting if they'll be cold or not. I don't think the game is that complex. And as I said in my PM, if the players aren't listed as "tired", then there's no reason to do that. Alfredo Faura is the only tired player on your team.
