Came over here just to read some old posts. Glad to see a friendly face. Hope the 2013 Bucs continue to shine. A's vs Pirates in the WS!

<t> Yes indeed, it is kinda sad. These posts prompted me to re-read some of my old ones, such as the following from a 1979 Oakland A's replay:<br/>
<br/>
John Henry Johnson, now working out of the bullpen, made his first relief appearance of the season. He pitched to one batter and struck him out ...

<t> Wow! I've been off the board for a couple days and it explodes! I bought PS 2005 and PS 2007 and have enjoyed years of fun for less than 60 bucks. <br/>
<br/>
I plan to do the same thing I did with the other two purchases. I won't buy right away, but will read the boards and weigh the opinions ...

<r> When this happens, I always look at the RBIs. Of course I wanted to see how Brede got 10 in one game. To set the stage, he entered this game with a .208 average, 0 HR and 0 RBI. He apparently had spent most of the season on the bench. <br/>

<r> My eyes caught an odd score, so I dug further, as I am wont to do. Here's what I found first:<br/>

<t> I'm indifferent here, but in this same general area, I see the need for one change.<br/>
<br/>
At the start of each postseason game, batters' final regular season AVG/HR/RBI are displayed in the in-game lineup boxes. These stats then update during the postseason game, so if a player ended the ...

I've long been against the restriction of not being able to sign a player I had released during the same season. In associations where I mirror actual transactions, I always had to go into the "Edit Player" and put him where he needed ...

<t> Going green, are we?<br/>
<br/>
I agree with a couple of the other guys. The icons at the bottom add the proper contrast and look better than even more green buttons.<br/>
<br/>
Poll question: Is this recent green trend related to.....<br/>

1) Shaun getting in touch with his Irish ...

Absolutely want this. If possible, I'd love to see this info archived into the Almanac.

Edit: Maybe not the weather part of it, but certainly the team vs. team data.

<t> Another issue in this area has bugged me for quite a while. I have problems with "real player scrubs", actual MLB players who import during setup or off-season. If the player happens to have only a few appearances/at-bats during the import season, he imports as a scrub and stays that way.<br ...

<t> I've wished for a long time that the Expanded Team Results would not "disappear" at the end of the regular season. The data in this area is something that I would refer to quite often. In fact, the data would seem to fit nicely into the Almanac. At the very least, I feel it should be available ...

Glad to hear things are better. I would seriously consider changing this version of Grissom to a reliever, if you haven't already done so.

Also, are there others in your association with similar issues?

I've lost the ability to "right click" on a player to make promotions, demotions, etc. No biggie, I just have to go into the player's card to make those changes. Did this function go away with 1.85?

Of course. I use #3 when there are many of those 5-point scrub pitchers. I'll just go into the database and double click on STUFF to sort them. Then, I go into each "Edit Bio", make the changes, and click on "Next". Repeat until association is cleansed.

<t> Orcin, I've been moaning and groaning about this for a couple years now. Pitchers with STUFF and CONTROL of 5 are simply poison for most any association with real players. Usually, those players import with such low ratings because they had just a few appearances in their initial season of MLB ...

<t> I can picture that option in the Player Usage area, along with a drop down menu to select his preferred place in the batting order. The AI choosing some slugger and batting him 9th just doesn't cut it for me.<br/>
<br/>
KG, it would be great if MLB had never gone the DH route. I was watching ...

kg, I was referring only to AI-managed games.

Thanks, Crash

Catching up on some reading here.......

I can't tell how many outs there are, but it sure looks like a runner IS on first. : )

Also, Smoltz with the Marlins? Ugggggh
