another bad sim! Its like my team forgot that playing 800 ball is just not good enough!

still have pitchers to trade.

A 6-4 sim for Idaho - the shocking season continues. Losing Set up man Roberts and starting catcher Perry are going to hurt. But at 30-23 it is hard to complain...

I have enabled All-Star Game voting in Statslab as well

How does the All Star game work?
Can we only vote one time?
Are the bench players also determined by vote?
Does each team get one representative like the real all star game?

Sigh looks like it's almost sell time again. I will say before you ask about McCann and Ratzliff they both will take multiple #1s+

Yes only 1 vote per team. I take the top 2 vote getters for each position, 6-7 starters, and 6-7 relievers. Sadly the game decides who starts though. I don't think it's an option for me to override it.

When is the all star voting deadline and also when is the trading deadline?

[mukerka]

7 wins in a row for Texas

ASG voting deadline would be the night/early morning before the sim that includes the ASG. I'll be sure to have a deadline posted.

Trade deadline is July 31st. We'll stop the sim at July 30th to allow an extra few days for last season negotiations.

I wonder if you went to play out the game and handle the lineup prior to the start of the game if you could set the starters yourself.

I think I tried before but it's definitely something I'm going to try this year.

I like my guys to get voted in.. but the All Star injury curse means I don't care if they start or not

[claphamsa]

do away with it!

First June sim is up. Another tough injury sim for some teams unfortunately. New file is up, reports are extracting, and Statslab is coming up next.

[LT]

The first real expansion sim, 2-8. Starting CF and LF injured. Having expansion team depth is catching up with Idaho.

[mstreeter06]

Reports and Statslab are updated. Another reminder that ASG voting was enabled in Statslab last sim. We have 3 sims until we reach the ASG break which would mean the 2017 ASG would be on next Wednesday 2/26's sim.
