cybernetic Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 well the main reason the cardinals lost to the astros was injuries.. much like last season but last season was pitching injuries and this year is the outfield for the most part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 The problem is that if you're running an Owner Mode and view your Organisation Staff, the picture of the former manager and his name are shown instead of the new. I'm getting the new manger name but the old manager's picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybernetic Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Kelvim Escobar (LAA) needs some tweaking to his pitches.. I'm not sure if he throws a slider at all, I was watching him in the playoffs and his pitches seemed to be: fastball (94-97mph) splitter (11-5, around 90) forkball (12-6, around 90) cutter (93-94) and he might have a change but I dont remember seeing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rankings themselves in the end are pretty meaningless really, it's just that after simming the 05 season 10 times with the current rosters the Whitesox only made the postseason 2/10 times which is a little too low in my opinion.

krawhitham Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Well, look at the stats - Regular season - STL 100-62 CWS 99-63 Postseason - STL 5-4 CWS 16-1 Total STL 105-66 CWS 115-64 So I don't quite see how you could rank Stl above the sox... because they did not play the same teams lets look at ExW-L: ExW-L: Expected W-L*, ExWP: Expected winning percentage* *ExW-L and ExWP are derived from Bill James' Pythagorean theorem of baseball: Runs scored [squared] / (Runs scored [squared] + runs allowed [squared]). This formula was designed to relate a team's runs scored and runs allowed to its won-lost record. Wsox 92-70 Cards 100-62 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/standings?ty...rder=false&st=2 as for the sox not making the playoffs (in simed seasons) it is because they were playing above themselves if you go by ExWL, the white sox would not had made the playoffs, the Indians would had. here is what the playoff picture would have looked like AL East - Boston AL central - Cleveland AL West LA Angels Wildcard Oakland NL East - Atlanta NL Central - St. Louis NL West - San Diego Wildcard - Houston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hory Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Well if you add in the Whitesox postseason record to their ExWL they have a better winning record than the Cards. My point is the sox were the only team to win 115 games this year They may have a worse run differential than the cards which gives them a poorer ExWL yet they are 35-19 in 1-run games compared to stl 21-25 - which shows they are better when it matters rather than being able to run big numbers up against crappy NL central pitching.

MOKI Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Idea: Make all the re-signing contracts changes(i.e resigned for another year, contracts extensions, etc) but DO NOT release any players. That way, we keep the players that will continue with the team but do not lose the players that will be released because then the Majors will be filled with minor league players and it'll be a mess.

Totte Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 With a new update due for release within a few days I need some help from you guys. As most of you know I've decided to update the managers in the next version - but which teams do I update? Baltimore - What's the name of the new guy that took over? Cininnatti - I think they made a manager move mid-season but I'm not sure. Who's the new guy? Detroit - Fired Alan Trammell. Who should I put in his place? Florida - Fired Jack McKeon. I'll add Joe Girardi. Kansas City - Fired their manager during the season but who's the new guy? Los Angeles - Fired Jim Tracy. Should I add Orel Hershiser? Pittsburgh - Fired Nate McClendon. Hired Jim Tracy. Tampa Bay - Lou Piniella was fired. Who should I add? Who am I missing out on on? Thanks for you help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOKI Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Another idea: Update the teams that released a manager and hired another manager. If a team released their manager and do not yet have a replacement, then leave it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOKI Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Kansas City Royals - Buddy Bell Baltimore Orioles - Sam Perlozzo Cincinatti Reds - Jerry Narron(He took the job mid-season and I think his contract was extended) In Detroit's page, the manager listed is Jim Leyland but I don't know if that's accurate or not. The others do not have a manager yet. The only in doubt is Detroit's as I'm not sure if Jim Leyland is their manager. So only Los Angeles and Tampa Bay should remain with the same manager... maybe Detroit as I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
