Lionel Jefferson went the distance and beyond today, not only pitching all 11 innings but also scoring the tying run in the 9th after a 2 out triple (why no pinch hitter?)April 15, 2003 at 02:48AM View BBCode
I keep asking myself why I declined the trade for this guy. And now you are going to post a preformance like this :mad:April 15, 2003 at 02:58AM View BBCode
What's his endurance rating?April 15, 2003 at 03:43AM View BBCode
He does have an A+ endurance and is no stranger to complete games (or Cy Young's, having won 3 of them!!)April 15, 2003 at 03:51AM View BBCode
Alas, I can't read that card because I'm not in the league. Thanks for trying.April 15, 2003 at 12:05PM View BBCode
Since this was the beta league, it could have been due to the new coaching preferences. How are your preferences set? This looks like a good test case to make sure the preferences are working properly.April 15, 2003 at 01:03PM View BBCode
I've been tinkering with them quite a bit...at the time I was actually having a problem with guys being yanked way too early, so I think the reason Lionel went so long was most likely due to a lack of available relievers for the game. I've since changed my settings so a pitcher won't be pulled for tiredness at all and have seen my starters pitch a lot more innings in general because of it. With my old settings I was getting guys yanked after 3-4 batters if they weren't effective.April 15, 2003 at 08:32PM View BBCode
Boy I hope those preferences get some more work before they move to the main game. How ineffective can you be in 3-4 batters? I wouldn't pull a starting pitching who allows 3 consectutive home runs to start a game. Can't get much more ineffective than that.April 16, 2003 at 04:45AM View BBCode
Those preferences are currently only in the Beta League for testing purposes. Once they have been "debugged" they will be put into the regular league's code, and you will be able to adjust your Manager Preferences. If you are really interested, you can look around the Beta League section of the Message Boards probably find some news about them there.Pages: 1
