Baseball Challenge 2012 (Weekly)

http://games.espn.go.com/baseball-challenge/en/frontpage

Set a baseball roster for the week staying under the salary cap.

CREATE A WEEKLY TEAM TO PLAY IN THIS LEAGUE!

Group: Gangster BB
Passw: Corleone

All Weekly rosters will lock at 2:59 AM EST on the Monday morning of the current week.

As of right now, it says the season will start Wednesday, April 4, 2012 -- so I guess the Japan games won't count.

2011 Overall Results: IC, JG, JL, TM, KL, YO

I kind of lost touch with my regular internet activities last year and didn't complete the season, and felt bad about it. I'm going to give it another try and register by 7 tomorrow.

Re: Baseball Challenge 2012 (Weekly) - 04/24/12 01:34 AM

yes that's me. I thought DNPing was the best strategy in this game but apparently it only works if it is against me.

YO   144   745  DET (DNP)

Apparently the DNP helped TM, so I decided to try it myself.

(I didn't remember to check my lineup until like 3:01 AM

)

And it looks like DMC has joined us...

if history has taught us anything, is that DNPing is the best strategy in this game.

I'd rephrase that and say "patience is the best strategy..."

Many people, especially early in the season, don't give good players a chance to warm up. I'm quite happy with my roster (for long-term), so wasn't upset about missing this week. I may not've made any changes anyway.... but it is very tempting to go with a hot bat or arm....

Speaking of DNP JG, are you done with the Yahoo golf game because I'm not going to play with myself.

Obvious joke aside...

What are you talking about?! I always remember to play; by Saturday.

I thought you were the one who stopped, looking at the scores....

Re: Baseball Challenge 2012 (Weekly) - 05/01/12 02:38 PM

I forget to play the 2nd week, and you had a gigantic lead. The last 2 weeks, i thought you didn't play because I caught up and passed you.

Re: Baseball Challenge 2012 (Weekly) - 05/01/12 07:50 PM

DNPing did not help me this week......but quite possibly actually playing would have been worse for me

Great job, Kly! 32 pts from your catcher equaled half of the entire Philly pitching staff for the week, yet I keep sticking with them.

Getting Carlos Ruiz at 3.9 was the biggest steal I ever had in this game.

DMC's turn for a big week. 75 pts from Hamilton. I got those points from him, too, but only 80 from Philly's PS. After giving them 5 weeks to straighten themselves out, I finally dropped them. They should start winning again.

Big week for Kly, almost reaching 400 pts. I'm guessing his "DNP" is really just riding out his lineup another week...

I hope somebody's cashing in on my boys' doubleheader in Colorado today! Already got 13 runs between the two of us, halfway through game 1.

Although I guess with it being weekly, they don't matter as much, huh? Our two games were actually scheduled for today, and tomorrow we're off.. haven't figured that one out yet.

It just made me think of you guys and the ol' BBC daily days (and all the DHs I missed.

)

Posted By: J Geoff

Re: Baseball Challenge 2012 (Weekly) - 05/28/12 09:55 PM

Hey, Gi! I don't have any players from either team in that DH. A lot less stressful playing Weekly!

Hope you've been well!! xoxo

Re: Baseball Challenge 2012 (Weekly) - 05/29/12 05:07 AM

See now, I just got you to admit that you have NO Astros on your weekly team. What's up with that?

At least pick up Jose "Little Man" Altuve. I've been scouting him, and he looks pretty good. (Oh wait, which thread am I in again?

)
