You won a Brewmasters. No more questions!

:)

Is for the Rookies Matt. For them to have all the possible questions in this thread...

And also I can't stop learning from a such amazing group of GMs like you guys!

We have roughly clear what we want from our Outfield players, letīs talk about the infielders now, would you prioritise Range + DP for 2B and SS, then Arm + Error for 3B, and nothing is necessary to play 1B?

Just a reminder to all BLB teams to go to you Upcoming Free-Agents tab and offer all minor leaguers a minor league extension. Teams forget to do this every season which allows talent to league your org that you could have kept for free.

I know there was a good handful that hit FA this past season. Some were even Top Prospects.

I have to know how we did first.

Then I go through the stats. Then the box scores. If something of interest pops up, I go through the game log to see what happened.

Then I spend the day looking through every players individual week (game by game) and overall stats, including my minor leaguers.

But now I'm intrigued in looking at game logs more thoroughly.

If I have time at work the next day, I look through notable players on other teams. Usually recent trades. Rookies. Stars on new teams. Like I know that Maine's Centerfielder appeared in one game and didn't do too well. But I'm looking forward to how he does next sim.

And that's before I start looking into my rosters in-game.

Never?

I try to watch each game log with hidden scores.

Nope

Okay good to hear. I don't read logs as much and haven't watched an OOTP game in years.

Never have.

Well, except those playoffs live sims a few years back.

[Carlos]

That explains a lot.

Ha. I probably should watch more. Or at least read the game logs.

Just so much time I already take managing the minors and big league club. I'm more hands on than I used to be with what feels like less the time.

It's still real to me dammit.

I don't know if a strong arm makes it less likely for a runner to try for an extra base, but if the runner is going to try anyway, I want to have an arm out there who might be able to throw him out.

From what I've seen, it is much more likely for a runner to try for third on a ball hit to right than a ball hit to left. That's what you'd expect to see.

18 months ago, Shark was asking basic, elementary questions about baseball.

Now, he's BLB champion.

Cheers.

Thanks to you guys, you taught me excellently



Cheers for you guys

Seeing how deep this game is, I would like to know as a Baseball newbie, cause I saw some games in the TV but just having notice about "Ball", "Strike", "Run", "Home-run", "Steal the base", "Throw to the base"... As you see basic stuff.

I would like of course to learn more in order to start to dig into the OOTP and eventually try to be competitive when I get my franchise in the BLB....

"ERA" why is it important? Is important for Offense or Defense?? Is it good to have an high rate or low rate? Many thanks! All the help will be more than appreciate!
