2066 Season Thread... Hakuna Nonaka

[Ry]

Billy, let's work together to setup a time for for Walt Johnson to return his stolen Gold Glove to Bernardo Pena.

You and those 6 errors get outta here!!!!!!

That's ok, he can keep it, but we both know who was clearly the better defensive CF, and it ain't Walt Johnson.

Steve Chandler and his five gold gloves, including this season, says otherwise.

.

nice surprise this morning. congrats young fella

[wdoupis]

I am just waiting for Nick to come in with Cuevas's 3rd place finish

[nick]

so we let the CPU vote and clearly its retarded too. what the fuck?

[wdoupis]

I think that the computer goes off of pure traditional offensive numbers based on the last few seasons. I don’t think war and any contributions from defense are factored in much

[nick]

i mean, Cuevas Win Probability Added was also the highest.

[GeorgesGoons]

I am just waiting for Nick to come in with Cuevas's 3rd place finish

I'd have him 3rd as well

[nick]

excited for Yang to win the comeback player of the year award.

so Bowie is trying to explain to me why I need LH starting pitching and I just can't understand why it would matter which hand the dude throws from.

He speaks the truth. It matters .

Not sure if/how much of a difference it makes in OOTP, but in real life, you want at least a few Lefties in your rotation/bullpen.
In real life, it changes the way pitches look to batters.
The easiest example is think of a curveball.
If the batter is batting right handed and the pitcher is right handed, a curveball comes at the batter than comes in over the plate with an arc like this )
If the pitcher was left handed, the pitch goes the opposite way (

So if you have a left handed batter, it is typically easier hitting off a right handed pitcher because the curves do not come at them, but are moving away from them.
It is why I was taught to switch hit from the time I was 5.
So as a batter, you can adjust based on the pitcher that is on the mound.

I think I makes a big difference in OOTP.... stat wise I think more so lefty on lefty.

[Uuaww]

funny i generally understand a curveball but the difference between a curve, sinker, slider, splitter, screwball, etc. no fucking clue.

fastball, changeup and knuckler are super easy tho.
