admin Joined: 01/27/2010 Posts: 4981 Administrator | I'm starting to think/work on these items: 1. Pinch hitter rank / Hitter rank 2. TPI like team rating 3. Remove final cup day (without any games) - dead Friday. We'll just have an extra RL day at the flip. Steve |

AssumedPseudonym Joined: 10/26/2016 Posts: 1130 Deerfield Beach Rats V.7 | Dissenting view: I’d rather have that day off on Friday. It’s a good excuse to let anybody recover from injuries and rest up the pitching staff for that last push down the stretch. | ||

jezzat Joined: 01/27/2019 Posts: 111 Rockford Rhinos IV.5 | Agree with AP about keeping the day off. I know I'll be in a minority but personally I wouldn't mind keeping Mondays and Fridays clear even at this time of the season. The end always seem to rush through to me. With regard to pinch hitting, I would have 3 options for each starter: 1. Never pinch hit for this plater 2. Always pinch hit for this player in or after innings X 3. Pinch hit for this player in or after innings X if the handedness of the pitcher has changed. This is pretty much what we have now but perhaps easier to understand for newcomers. Then for each starting hitter I would have the option to set a first and second choice as the pinch hitter. The second choice would be used if the first was injured or had already been used to pitch hit for someone else. We (human) managers could then decide whether we wanted to prioritise the best hitters regardless of position or whether to choose hitters who could play the same position as the player they're replacing. |

lostraven Joined: 07/02/2016 Posts: 1269 Corvallis Ravens III.1 | I too would rather keep the empty Cup day as a rest day for pitchers than have yet another relatively empty day in the offseason. I've heard enough complaints over the years of the offseason/preseason being a little too long, particularly with the change moving Draft Round 1 back one week.

NotGood88 Joined: 08/28/2020 Posts: 510 Prattville Black Cats II.2 | I personally like the empty Cup days just fine, I only really have 2 consistent starters and 3 on-and-off guys, I always like it when everyone gets a rest so De Smet and Solis can get more starts. | ||

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9571 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | The extra day at the flip does give Steve more time to deal with any emergencies (both real life and game related). Also, it might mean the flip is completed earlier, giving folks more lead time to fix up their team and put claims in on players. The current Friday off, doesn't really provide any benefits. |

admin Joined: 01/27/2010 Posts: 4981 Administrator | There are two issues... 1. The Friday without any of games (real time day off). 2. The advancement of game dates without games. I don't particularly like increasing the off-season by a day, but it would be helpful turning over the season and potentially folding in new features in the off-season. I understand people like the game hiatus to reset their pitching -- but it doesn't really make any game sense. Steve |
