Marauders failed to download new MP for Hares for Series 2. Fixing right now, will resubmit in a few minutes.

And of course the DMB gods decide to thank my honesty by screwing me over in as many ways as possible, not only giving the Hares a sweep capped off by a double-steal (2 of their 6 SB in the series without a CS against a C with a Vg arm) but sending Marte to the DL for a month on top of that.

Wheee...

New Rotisserie MP attached.

TRHL owners,

Attached (and on the league website), you'll find the "take two"
Series 03 league file.

I had to replay the following series:

1. Hares @ Marauders, Conley submitted corrected results on Thursday.
2. BDM @ French Terriers - Doolittle no longer injured, BDM's rotation
fixed because I used their posted MP. Kept SPs and saved lineups the
same for French Terriers.
3. NRIs @ Stogies - Followed NRIs instructions this time after
importing their MP. Used same SPs and saved lineups for Stogies.

Marauders's Shaw's injury also removed. As was, as mentioned, Doolittle's.

Deadlines still the same.

Rotisserie MP was also imported to the current "take two" league file.

Whitecaps sweep the Pale Hose and are back on track

Whitecaps MP for series 4, please import AFTER results thank you.

SPs are Gray, Sydndergaard, Matz.

Normal lineups.

Start Odorizzi, Chatwood, and Lewis against Terriers

Firedogs take 2 of 3 from Halos

Hares lose two one-run games before winning the third to avert the sweep.

Clowns take 2.

Game 1 Nelson Cruz hits a 2 run HR of Zach Britton in the bottom of the ninth to win it 8-7 for the NRIs.

Game 2 Cruz drives in 6 runs with his 6th and 7th HRs of the season and David Ortiz drives in 5 more with a HR and 2 doubles as Portland romps 16-1.

Game 3 - Portland must have hit their quota for runs as Scott Kazmir shut them down 4-1 to prevent a sweep.

The Rocket Rogers need to adjust their pitching MP. The slated starter in the first game, Carlos Carrasco, had just pitched in relief so I skipped him for the rested Greinke. Nobody in the rotation was rested for game two; with no spot starter named I put in Matt Harvey. Pitchers named for the rotation were being used in relief throughout the series because the MP does not specify any relief roles.

The FUBAR pitching staff won the series for the Rogers 2-1. Next Crescent Beach will be swept by a roster made up entirely of backup catchers.

How do I stop the computer manager from doing things like:

1. Bringing my best starting pitcher in for relief in the 6th inning of a game in which I'm trailing 7-0. For three innings of useless relief. And Carrasco in real life in 2016 was exclusively a starter.

2. Continually bringing my worst pitcher (Peavy) in out of the pen early as a key option in critical game situations.

WTF.

Set some relief roles in your MP. The CM is terrible at bullpen management if you tell it what you want it to do, I can only imagine the shenanigans if you let it do everything itself.

Outlaws take two.

Ray, go to the pitching tab of your roster organizer where you already set your rotation. The menu bar that says "starter" can be scrolled through to define options for relief roles as well--spot starter, mopup, long relief, etc. Right now none of those roles are defined for your team so the computer manager is making guesses. If you fill in at least one name for each role (maybe two or three; see how other owners have theirs set up), you shouldn't have the problem of starters being used in relief.

Rotisserie sweeps Canons, including a walk off single from Realmuto in game two.

BDM sweeps the home squad. Likely to be a long year

The Brockton French Terriers smoke the stogies in game 3 to salvage one game.

Terriers host Sledgehammers. Terriers 8-3, 10-3, 6-4
