We have finally reached the 2022 season as the Colorado Bears will work to defend their Federation Cup title which is their 3rd championship in 9 seasons of the AFBL's existence. As we enter our 10th season as a league, will we see any new faces enter the playoff picture and will Texas & New Jersey continue their impressive playoff streaks?
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and hopefully a good remaining weekend of the holiday break.
We will NOT have a sim on Monday due to the late arriving post-draft file. 1st half of Spring Training is on TUESDAY, 2nd half of Spring Training is on WEDNESDAY, and Opening Day 2022 is on FRIDAY. From here, we'll be back on our normal Mon-Wed-Fri sims with exports due at 6am CT on sim days. Thanks guys!
-
New file is up with Reports and Statslab coming up before I decide to go to bed :).
-
Reports got updated last night and Statslab is now updated.
You must get an export in for at least 1 of the Spring Training sims and then it is a mandatory export for Opening Day on Friday! Good luck this season!
-
I forgot to grab exports before manually entering the draft last night. Sorry guys!
I also must have never hit submit for season awards in the game (gdamnit) so the Most Valuable Pitchers are both incorrect unfortunately. I wish there was a why to fix this and my same mistake from back in 2014 and 2015. Statslab will show the correct votes in the voting history.

come on man! that was my only good news of the season. Can you fix that? I want to see Ron Taylor as best pitcher in the league and with all his awards when he goes to the hall of fame

:'( :'( sorry but unfortunately I don't believe there is a way to fix this. I could have sworn I already entered and saved these before the draft but obviously it didn't >:(.
-
Spring Training starts tomorrow morning. I want to see every GM get at least 1 of the 2 ST exports submitted and then everyone with the mandatory Opening Day export on Friday. Good luck this season!
-
FYI - Jari Udinga and Giuseppe Cirilli both went to my International Complex and my team transaction log had me selecting two different players in those draft positions MR Yi-Xiao Zhen & SP Randy Williams, but they appear to have been released already.
-
Yeah I had to select a scrub when manually entering the results since I couldn't import them.
Forgot to mention that due to this, any international guys drafted were placed in the team's international complex since I had to sign them instead of getting included in the import process.
Next draft and beyond will correct this. I know how that the import draft function doesn't work once you start manually selecting guys. ;D
-
The 1st half (14 games) of Spring Training is complete. New file is up with HTML Reports and Statslab coming up as soon as possible. Nearly a perfect export (18/19) so thanks guys!
We'll finish up the 2nd half of ST tomorrow morning and Opening Day will be Friday which is a MANDATORY EXPORT.

I don't think stats lab can figure out who won MVP award because it says on Derek Andersons stats lab page that he is a back to back MVP winner but Murry is also a MVP winner for 2021 I know DA finished 3rd so maybe stats lab is seeing that as a win idk
-
Is there a way to make a shortlist or hot list in Statslab?

OOTP15 started reporting the top 3 vote finishers in the SQL dump instead of just the winner. The problem is, it does that without differentiating between them. There are some ways around this but that requires a bit of a rewrite I don't have time for and it really should just be fixed.
-
I also screwed up the Awards for the pitchers in the game. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to fix any season award voting in-game mistakes.

The way to 'fix' it is to only enter the 1st place winner in each award in-game. Then statslab will just have 1 winner each year. But this also means Matt has to ensure he manually enters the awards each year :D
-
I guess I didn't click 'Submit' after I manually entered them but I swore I did. Oh well, sorry guys. Hopefully we can eventually get it adjusted along with my previous mistake in 2014 and 2015. :-\ :'(

Actually there is no such place as West Virginia, it is still all a part of Virginia. We are just letting you visit, so he will be our property!

Rodier has been better offensive than Ratz. His defense kills his war tho. Sucks.

if you add ALLLL of Rodiers career up... its close to Ratz last year. it doesnt help that Rodier is an extreem platoon split and never get anywhere near the at bats that Ratz does...but to compare them is insane

Let me rephrase going into this last year, he had been close offensively to Ratz against righties and was a great second bat. His defense kills his WAR along with time off against lefties. Either way, Hopefully Tsai has a good year and this opens a spot for one of my young guys to come up and make a difference.

Also my team is ready. I had some hard decisions to make so I am anxious to see how some of my borderline guys preform, both at AAA and ML.

Nah, just a hobbyist... as I always say I only manipulate logos and such, I'm not making these from scratch. The skill is more in searching for the right existing logos and identifying how they can be used for what our needs are.

There was a forum mod/addon that failed and messed up the index.php file for the forum last night (damn my tinkering, sorry guys!). I put in place a backup I had of it from August which fixed the issue of accessing our forum boards. I still see some weirdness in some of the admin functions so at some point, I'm looking to do a fresh board install then merge our board data into that. Just a heads up of what's going on with that.
The Tapatalk mod/addon seems to be problematic as well so this might be an issue too. Sorry to those that use this function of our forum.
I just created a group for AFBL on the chat application GroupMe (mobile app and web) and sent out an email invite link for that. I'll make this available to everyone for daily chatter and such to see how it goes alongside the forum. Create an account and download the mobile app if you wish but it's certainly not required!
The forum will still be the main place for information but it will also be posted in GroupMe to help everyone stay connected. Thanks guys!

I've done a clean install of our forum (SMF) to clean up things. The forum chat has been removed as we replace it with GroupMe. I believe I have Tapatalk functioning if those who use it want to let me know if this is true. Thanks guys!

About to start the sim. I had to CPU organizations for New York and Viriginia since no new export and over 25 on ML roster. Sorry NY and VA!

wow My Closer just gave up back to back HR and whats more shocking is that in the last 6 years his most given up in season is 5 not a good start for him but 4-2 sucks that big loss to NJ or it would be me 5-1 other wise happy so far
-
1-5 sim and Dan Allen gets tossed and suspended on opening day, ruh roh
-
I am pretty sure my team has never won on opening day. I will have to double check this.

Lets Hope this sim goes as planed

9-1 sim?? I had to refresh a few times.
-
I hate that the game is so stupid that it does this
a - J. Talley pinch hit for J. Bennett in the 7th
b - E. Evans substituted for J. Talley in the 7th To play 3B like why couldn't Josh play 3B and Evans didn't even have a rating at third till after this game OOTP needs some better Mangers.
so I finished off a 7 game winning streak a lost the last 6 games of the sim 8-8 on the year seams like a streaky season already

Might be another year of a good fight in the PL North. Our bats are hot right now, I don't expect that to continue. At the moment when we score lots of runs we win most of the time, when we don't score many runs we lose most of the time.
1st in runs scored in the PL with 113, and 10th in runs allowed with 80. Our bullpen ERA is fine, if our starters come to the party we have a very solid and young core group to work with for years. Not quite championship calibre though, would need a lucky playoff run.

Everything is updated as we have reached May 2022
-
5-2 good sim and Anderson got back on track 13 hits during sim
-
Meh, 4-3. Whatever. I will win. >:(
-
To all of you who said Rodier isn't MVP worthy I would like you to look at the actual MVPs numbers without him....

A little more like it with a 4-6 sim.
Jeremy Emery off to a decent start in his big league career, 4-1, 3.68 ERA.
Jeff Cahill sent down to AAA for more "seasoning," guess I forgot to redo the lineup there because he only had 9 ABs .
-
Nice, 8-2 and best record in all of of AFBL. I'll take it.
-
6-4 sim solid like my 19 win rec but pen has been shakey this season other wise team looks like playoffs will happen this year if everything goes right

With about 1/5 of the season completed...
1.) Can Maryland continue their pace and join the postseason party in the PL South as they fight off West Virginia and Virgina?
2.) Will Pennsylvania win the battle with New Jersey and Ontario in the PL North without forgetting Ohio?
3.) How much longer will Colorado's core of veterans hold on in the FL West against Oregon and New Mexico?
4.) Could the potential best team in the AFBL, Indiana, claim the FL East as they fight Iowa, Texas, and Kentucky plus keeping their eyes on Illinois?
5.) What about any of the teams not mentioned? Will someone get red-hot as ride that streak into a postseason berth?
There is plenty of time for everything to change! Good luck everyone!
-
Ron Taylor injuried ... btw, he lost another match with 1 run allowed. I think that we have here a clear bullying case because their teamates always play worse when he is on the mound

Great sim 6-3 got some hard fought wins but still my offence has some players not preforming which is holding us back. With NJ, WV and Indiana coming up we need to be clicking soon
-
4-5 blah...
At least Jake White is starting to get some hits and Gil Russel is continuing to make me second guess my attempts to bring in another 1B.
Our starting pitching is still what is letting us down, and despite Jeff Flowers grabbing 2 wins form 2 starts that sim, his ERA is still above 6 and he might be for a demotion if anyone in AAA decides to put their hand up.
The next month or so will be crucial in determining if we still have the talent to make the playoffs or if we'll be in no mans land - 6 games next sim v Ontario and Pennsy will be a pretty good gauge as well.
-
we are the worst team ever in offense

I've been slacking on this but I will have the AFBL Images Pack and the other downloads updated in the next hour. Links at the top right of the forum or in the AFBL Downloads section (http://www.afblbaseball.com/afbl/downloads/).

The bats stay hot, the bullpen is firing, but our SPs just give up way too many runs at the moment.
Maybe, just maybe, Bob Allen will find his way from AAA to the rotation.

4-6 sim puts me 3 more back of Penn maybe this year they will actually win it this time lol and 3 game lead over 2nd WC team so im happy and with the addition of booth should help shore up Rotation that has been so-so
-
All Star Game voting is actually enabled now in Statslab
-
Well for some reason my laptop with OOTP is not on so no sims until I get back on Wednesday afternoon. Sorry guys!
-
We'll sim at about 4pm CT. Almost home!
-
Alrighty... sim time!
-
File upload just started. I forgot to do FA claims until the end of the sim. Oops :).
-
Everything is updated. There are 2 sims before we reach the All Star Game sim on December 31st so vote in Statslab by then.
I'm on a work vacation but home until the new year so the next few sims will happen around 8am CT on 12/26, 12/29, and 12/31. If anything changes I'll let you know along with the info at the top right of the forum.

Merry Christmas, Boxing Day, Holidays to everyone!
-
New file is up with HTML Reports and Statslab coming right up!
Don't forget that the next sim on Monday (12/29) is an extra day than usual going 11 days.
All-Star Game voting is due by the 12/31 sim so please vote as you have time between now and then. This is a mandatory item as a AFBL member so take the 5-10 minutes to cast your ballot.
-
a nice 7-3 sim with some great hitting by Steve Douglas and Chucky St. John
-
12/29 sim is about to start
-
OOTP File, HTML Reports, and Statslab are all updated. We have reached the halfway point of the 2022 season as we enter the All-Star Game break. Please get your ASG ballot submitted in Statslab by the next sim (12/31) start at 8am CT.
Current blank or incomplete All-Star Game ballots (minimum of a full ballot for your league but certainly able to vote for both leagues)...
-Iowa
-Illinois (partial ballot)
-New York
-New Mexico
-Georgia
-Virginia
-
By the way, the games on July 10th have been played but the game wasn't advanced to the 11th so the game didn't chose our All-Stars.
-
Just a reminder about the All-Star Game voting process...
-Top vote getter at each position will be the starter and the 2nd most vote getter at each position will be a reserve.
-Top 6 SP and RP vote getters will be part of the ASG pitching staff for each league.
-28 players on each league's ASG roster.
-DH will be chosen by the Commish or a high vote getter that isn't a starter.
-Anyone that is voted in but hurt will have a injury replacement join the ASG roster going to voting results first before going to Commish decision.
-Any position with an unanimous selection will have its reserve chosen by the Commish.
-
Tommy Carr is currently at 3 days of injury with 3 days before the all star game. Whether he plays or not, it will be great to have him back in the lineup.
-
6-3 great sim with Juan getting some good and well needed wins. Anderson is having a off year so far but is still the most valuable RF ad my team is picking up the slack, Clark has been a wonderful addition to the pen hoping for the same after the allstar game

Just curious, but why don't the GM's of the defending league champions do the fill ins?

That sounds like a good idea or have one select person for each league
-
Ooh I like that idea. Anyone oppose? My only issue is that the voting ends the day of the sim. The defending league champs would need to have an answer ready that day.

I like the idea though I'm not sure I'd do it. Certainly the option to select could be there though.

New file will be up in a few minutes. I'll get HTML Reports and Statslab updated soon.
Don't forget to check your AFBL pitching staff if you had an All-Star Game pitcher. The game removes the player from your staff and doesn't return him to his role for some reason.
-
FYI for those of you looking to trade, I am selling this year.
-
Texas' batters performed as expected in the All Star. 0AB, 0H, 0BBs ... At least our pitchers performed well (unbelievable that Taylor wasnt on the All Star by the way)
-
not my fault the CUP put Maillot in to early and took him out
-
Everything is updated!
The trade deadline is by Monday's sim so you'll have the weekend to work any deals out. Have a great new year's eve/day everyone!

I forgot to resize the new logos for the FL and PL so if you want them for your game, download the below zip file and overwrite the contents in the "\AFBL.lg\news\html\images\team_logos" folder on your computer.

Ugh, I just noticed that the CPU adjusted the FL All-Star Game starting lineup after I made our voted starter adjustments. Sorry guys. >:(
-
this happens every year, in every league...why do we bother to vote! (not that I do)
-
It was my fault for not noticing my changes didn't take. :'(

Sim coming up
-
Everything is updated. The trade deadline is by the start of Monday's sim at 6am CT!
Happy 2015 everyone!
-
It was a rough sim for injuries unfortunately so be sure to check your franchise :-\
-
New Mexico's CF Bennie Ratzlaff now has the longest AFBL hit streak at 42 games that was ended at the end of this past sim. Congrats to him!
-
we are the second team with more hits in the FL (916) but we are the second team with less runs scored (371). pure trash
-
I am getting an error that my file is for 2014. It is linked to the right folder. Any ideas?

look matt, perfect example of what I was talking few days ago was our matches. 3-0 for you, and in 2 of them I had more hits but lost (in the extra-innings or in the 9th in this case ...). I lost another one agaisnt Indiana in the extra innings. It is impossible when your closer, one of the most reliable pitchers in the league, plays like a fucking girl.

Here is a peak at the top prospects in our combined Ammy Draft Pool that consists of our HS & COL feeder leagues plus our International Amateurs:

Everything is updated. Ammy Draft Pool revealed and major league rosters expand to 40! Good luck on the stretch run!

that is a pathetic draft class
-
every year the fucking Mendoza injuried at the end of the season. this guy is a fucking retarded
the funny fact of this month was that Hill won the FL best hitter trophy with 11 HR, 17 RBI and 18 runs scored. If we take a look to their season numbers, that is simply unbelievable (22HRs so he hitted half of them this month, 48 RBIs and 40 runs scored)
-
by the way, I have probably the shorter roster in the league (talking about batters), and 4 of the starters are injuried

its because its too hot in texas...mendoza is used to living on the water, I can mention a couple of nice big rivers.....

It's OOTP 15, draft classes never look great, but players will grow, just pick the right ones :D

7-3 sim wow really good sim and Tally PH bomb to win a game against NJ but nooo lost Anderson for the month

Another ex-Athletic coming back to haunt us :( Sepulveda did it and so did Charlie White that sim... 1-9 was terrible and puts us 2 back in the Wild Card race.
-
We have an opening with the New Mexico franchise that I'm sure we'll fill quickly. Good luck to everyone on the final 5 weeks of the 2022 season.

Charlie White was a blue pirate as well i believe

This isn't an issue so far this season but just remember that any player that is draft eligible is unable to be claimed as a FA until after the draft. Just a heads up as we finish the regular season.
Sim is about to start!
-
New file is up with HTML Reports and Statslab coming asap. 3 regular season sims left!

Everything is updated

when I see the leaderboards in the standings, Ron Taylor is not there with the lowest ERA in the league. He has just 1.59 and the "leader" has 2.25 (Jim Ojima)
Texas is fighting and this week we have an "easy" schedule on paper comparing with what we had in previous weeks. Im sure that there will be a disaster ... typical texas
-
Taylor must not meet the qualifications
-
Taylor must not meet the qualifications
To qualify, a starting pitcher must have at least 1 inning pitched per game that his team has played (you've played 130+ games, Taylor has only pitched 120 something innings).
To qualify, a hitter must have at least 3.1 plate appearances per game that his team has played.
-
We go 5-4 in my first sim...though...my first export will be next sim....
At 9 games back of the last wild card with only 23 to play...it doesn't look like we will make the post season this season. My goal is to get within 4 or so games back of the post season...tinker with the team in the off-season and make a run for the playoffs in 2023.

New file is up and HTML Reports are updated. Statslab is still working and will be updated soon.
There are only 2 regular season sims left. We will conclude September on Friday and then finish up the remaining October games on Monday.
Season Awards voting will be enabled in Statslab today. The voting will conclude at the end of the playoffs so please get your votes cast by then!

Everything is updated. Season Awards voting is enabled in Statslab for those that want to vote early.

There was a good point brought up today in our GroupMe chat about the chance of a three way tie for the final wildcard in one or both leagues. If we do end up with a three way tie after 162 games for the final wildcard, there would be a round robin tournament to decide the winner. All of this is still fluid so no need to worry about it yet, just wanted to make all aware.
If things are still right after Friday's sim, I would not be opposed to breaking up the final 5 day sim into two 3 day sims to allow those in the battle for postseason position to make final game adjustments. If we do this, it would be on Monday for October 1-2 then Tuesday for October 3-5.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I would hate for a team to not get in due to something dumb done by the CPU.
-
3-5 sim with 16-1 loss ouch and after in my mind raving about how awesome Dusty has been since ASG he strikes out 10 times gets 2 walks and 2 hits so bad sim for him and most of my team but curds and Paggett hit like crap.

We split our 2 game mini series. I would have thought we would lose to Torpy and beat Caldwell and not the opposite...

SIM SCHEDULE CHANGE/UPDATE
I'll pause Friday's sim on September 30th instead of October 1st so Friday's sim will be September 21-29.
Monday's sim will be September 30th through October 2nd and we'll pause after those 3 games.
Tuesday's sim will be October 3rd through October 5th which will be the final 3 games of the 2022 regular season.

AFBL Rules page has been updated with the previously posted on the forum in Oct 2014 guidelines for relocation and franchise detail changes plus adjusting the required GM approval percentage for any league rule changes made in the Winter Meetings from 60% to 2/3 GMs approval. I feel that this is a necessary change for a true majority that we can change without any big freakout now :). Sorry about the late notice!

It will be an interesting final 5 or 6 games for those still fighting for the playoffs.
We have tight races for...
FL West winner (Oregon up 0.5 game on Colorado)
FL #1 seed (Oregon up 0.5 game on Colorado)
FL WC2 (Texas leads Iowa by 3 games and Illinois by 4 games)
PL WC2 (New Jersey and Virginia are tied for the spot and both lead Maryland by 1.5 games, NJ and VA have naturally split the season series at 5 games a piece)
Locked seeds are...
Indiana: FL #2 seed (clinched FL East)
Pennsylvania: PL #1 seed (clinched PL North)
West Virginia: PL #2 seed (clinched PL South)
Ontario: PL #3 seed (clinched PL WC1)

No need for Ontario to worry about that. You are locked at #3 seed. ;D

i have lost huge stars in the last week of the season twice now :( (in 2 seasons)
-
FL WC2 (Texas leads Iowa by 3 games and Illinois by 4 games)
It is simply amazing how the Isotopes are now leading Iowa and Illinois after a very tough season. A lot of injuries lately but somehow we managed the situation, not being a great team but just a little bit better than Illinois and Iowa (both in a bad streak now). 2 series, 6 matches where I think that with 2-3 wins should be enough for us.
btw, thanks Matt for the last sim ;) jaja

How do international free agents work in our league? Do they go into the draft?

Yeah they are Ammy Draft eligible only. Any of them that go undrafted become FAs (I believe).

Everything is updated. We'll conclude the regular season tomorrow morning at 6am CT as the 2nd wildcard in both leagues are up for grabs!

I need a game 163 so there is more days off so Anderson can start game 1 In RF and not on bench
-
Sim postponed since my laptop decided to crap the bed. Working on fixing it currently. Might need to wait until tomorrow morning or possibly later today.
-
Hard drive failed on me so I'll need to install OOTP on a different system. I'll try to get it setup where we can still sim today. Sorry guys!
-
Moving my OOTP install to my desktop currently so we can get the sim going in about 30-45 minutes assuming it stays slow for me at work.

New file is up and we'll need a Game 163... HTML Reports and Statslab are on the way!
-
Game 163 to decide the FL West winner and the FL 1 seed is coming up!
-
We have concluded the regular season. Time for the playoffs to begin.
Vote for Season Awards in Statslab, voting closes at the end of the postseason.
Ammy Draft is getting setup in Statslab and can start on the forum until then with NC, ID, and WA with the first 3 picks!

Taylor is not elegible for the MVP jajaja. what a joke! He couldnt play 7 weeks because he had an injurie so thats why, but what a joke ... 12W and 4L with 1.64 ERA and 249! Ks in 153.2 innings played.
The past season the MVP was stolen from him and this year the same

Please be aware of where we are in the draft throughout the day. If you know you'll be busy... please have a long enough list in Statslab's draft queue, set yourself to auto, or send me instructions. I really don't want to have anyone holding up the draft for long periods of time. I want the draft to be completed by next Tuesday, February 3rd.
