Arena The Baseball Draft Four - (Literally) Out of the Park

TRANSACTIONS: Send Reds Billy Hamilton to Rockford and bring Denny's™ off the DL.

Adjust rotation/bullpen as:

1. Phillippe
2. Stone Cold Addie
3. Denny's™
4. Big Ed

Spud-- LR, Middle Relief


And put the other Denny's™ (Lyons) into Billy's #1 pinch runner spot. I don't even know if he's that fast, but maybe if we put a plate of pancakes and eggs at home he'll find an extra gear.

 

@DarthIntegral -- please put Bresnahan on the IL.

Call up Sam Thompson

 

Alright, so I think I got everyone's changes, both in-game and on the spreadsheet. Remember, names in RED are on the IL. Call out errors and omissions, please.

Is there any way to get mr toad vs joss whedon

 

Nice.

 

Niccccce.

Okay, so it looks like the Bender year change and move back into the rotation got missed (no biggie, Inty, not sweating it at all). Still want to do the year change to 1907 and move to the active roster, but the rotation is humming along so nicely, maybe it's not the best idea to mess with it too much. Charlie is still coming back, but he'll go to the pen.

Aaaaand, the plan was to move Butley down, but with the other move I'm about to make, I think he needs to stay with us for a while. So someone from the pen needs to head back to Sudden Valley for a bit. This was what was hanging me up, but after much mulling, we're sending Johnny Cueto down to make room for Bender (don't worry, dude, you'll be back in September).

So we're going to have Butley serve as backup to both 2nd and SS (when tired), because Biz Mackey is going to be our everyday C.

Backing him up, hailing from Sarasota, FL (Actually, Columbus, OH *coughshamelesspandercough*... Randy "Macho Man" Savage!!! (every 5th game)



@DarthIntegral

 

Jimmy Hart is the low-key MVP of that clip with his nonstop dry humping of Shaq's leg.

Almost forgot that CJ needs to go to the IL. Gonna go with multiple 15-day stints instead of a 60-day.

 

If I don't get to sims tonight, it'll be tomorrow night for sure

 

so as you have commanded, so as I have done

 

BREAKING NEWS

Spoiler

Macho Man Randy Savage with a hit and two RBI in his FODEUSS debut, as the Demonbags beat the Tormentors 13-6

Spoiler

 

3 is not >6...

 

Fixed. I blame my medication mixing with my alcohol, which could make for a really odd IntyCenter

 

BREAKING NEWS

After pushing their win streak to 24 games, and becoming the Cardinals of the league, A Shaq of Their Own has become the first team to clinic a playoff spot in the FODEUSS era, following a 3-2 win over Reseda.

 

INJURY REPORT

STANDINGS





IF THE PLAYOFFS STARTED TODAY ...

We would need a one-game playoff between stone temple seattle pilots and Newport Beach Motherboys, the winner of which would go on to play A Shaq of Their Own
San Francisco Six Demonbags of Chinatown would welcome Planescape Tormentors in the other series.

Note: By Pythagorean wins, Amazings would also be at 67 wins, and in that tiebreaker for the final wild card spot.

POWER RANKINGS



Box scores and logs are uploaded, but probably with errors. I'll try to get upcoming series posted and stats updated on saturday

 

lol, nice season, it would be a shame if all of your catchers died.

 

but I guess the sim didn't? Or is that day missing?

 

^
Also the reaction of the capacity crowd back at The Jim that gathered to watch the game on the big screen.



EDIT: Looks like Toad vs. Joss is down at the very bottom of the August box scores. Out of order because of how the file is named.

 

@DarthIntegral

Welp, King Kelly to the IL.
$5 to sign Victor Martinez 2014 and plug him in as C on the Active Roster (my records indicate he'll still qualify there -- if he does not, let me know and I'll go to Plan F, we're way past Plan B or C...)

Will wait to see what's up with Snuffy before making another roster move.

EDIT: From the files of Joey Votto:

8/13:
FIELDING
PB: F. Dunlap 6

Still trying to figure out how King Kelly broke his kneecap on hitting a double (looks like the 8/12 game)

8/15
FIELDING
PB: J. Mize 2

8/16 -- No PBs, good job, buddy!

8/17
FIELDING
PB: J. Mize 2

 

Thanks.
Also, probably shouldn’t have forced that.

 

So you agree with John McGraw?

 

inty please send nap to the il, call up dickie.
