VSN Baseball Spring Training Random Thoughts

[GangstaE]

yea if you made an adjustment for relievers it definitely too low now, Mitre got tired after 1 inning in which he didnt throw to many pitches.

Also i just came off a game where i hit 6 homers, i know its Yankee stadium but homers is just something to keep an eye on.

btw, RP stamina is too low. Lopez was totally drained after 12 pitches. he had full energy when he came in

Did those pitchers pitch back to back games? Did they have low stamina coming into the game?

I find this odd, because I have been testing the shit out of RP stamina, and have been getting very realistic results that I have been posting here after every game.

-When guys have thrown 2+ innings, they are drained and unusable.
-RP's almost always recover to almost 100% after a day off
-Back to back games have been no issue as long as it's 1 inning or less

I havent seen anything wacky like you guys are describing.

Did you guys warm them up completely before you put them in? It matters, as im sure you probably know.

That game was so much bullshit. 10 hits and 6 were home runs for the yanks

Disappearing ball again for me, I guess I just have to learn to deal at this point. It is really frustrating when the opponent throws 9 balls the entire game. I couldn't take a couple pitches to get used to the timing. 93% of the pitches thrown were for strikes.

I throw 67% percent strikes and give up 6 homeruns on 10 hits.

I am sorry I am bitching but that game was ultra frustrating. Don't know how much longer I can play on Vet hitting.

[Maynard]

i would like to see power turned down to 3 and raise contact to 7

all the hits are off deep balls. plus we really need to do something to raise the batting averages. this is getting ridiculous

my RP had full energy when i brought him in. after 12 pitches he was drained completely. he was fully warm

I didnt pitch Mitre in the first game but i did bring him up from the minors so that could be the issue since i did see Nova was also drained after being brought up.

Ive yet to see the disappearing ball thing some ppl have said they have seen. Have you changed the camera settings? i have no clue about this.

i also suck at pitching this year most of my balls go down the middle. my ERA is almost at 3 and looking at alot of others i see its quite high. Im also averaging about 2 homers a game this year and i dont play with the Yanks much outside of league play so its not really them. Thats why i say we should just keep an eye out for it as the majority of my runs comes from homers.

I am this close to being done with Vet hitting. Can we at least try all star for a while?

Bingo.

I havent brought anyone up from the minors, but last year, when you brought guys up they were tired. This was to prevent guys from cheesing and constantly rotating pitchers if they abused their bullpens.

I understand what you are saying, but like I said before, the total number of HR's isnt the issue, its the proportion in relation to other hits.

We need to create more hits somehow, not decrease HR's. I think the HR rate is just about perfect.

Also Maynard, what P was it? Was he called up from the minors?

I agree with you on RP's. I've not had those problems either.

I had Rauch/Carlson pitch 1.1, Frasor 0.1 in my first game.
Game 2, Dotel went 0.2, got rocked and was at 85% in my 3rd game. Frasor another 0.1
3rd game I had Rauch/Carlson/Frasor all throw 0.2 and all came into the game full.

Definitely true, I called up Reyes to pitch in my 5 slot and he came up with 0 stamina. He's probably not going to be fully ready for his start since I called him up after I opened with Romero. So he'll be pitching on 3 days rest. Yikes..

In my game with BucFan last night, although he said it was laggy for him, we had 22 combined hits with just 2 being a HR. :dontknow:

I'll pull up some stats in a bit to look at.

[killgod]

Some stats for you guys to chew on today.


Total At Bats: 2127
Hits: 466
League AVG: .219 (MLB 2010 = .257)

Singles: 260
% of AB being Single = 12.2 (MLB 2010 = 17.3)
% of Hits being Single = 55.8 (MLB 2010 = 67.1)
Doubles: 105
% of AB being Double = 4.9 (MLB 2010 = 5.1)
% of Hits being Double = 22.5 (MLB 2010 = 20.0)
Triples: 13
% of AB being Triple = 0.6 (MLB 2010 = 0.5)
% of Hits being Triple = 2.8 (MLB 2010 = 2.0)
Home Runs: 88
% of AB being Home Run = 4.1 (MLB 2010 = 2.8)
% of Hits being Home Run = 18.9 (MLB 2010 = 10.9)

I used the league averages to come up with those MLB 2010 percentages. See today's Gameday thread for changes I've made based on this.

whatupdoe is back, he had a personal situation to deal with which is why he went MIA.

anyways, he'll be taking over St. Louis, so that door is closed for anyone who were thinking of switching.
