How much do the baseball Gods hate me this year? Even the sim rained out my Orioles game fix today on my birthday! :D

O's and Red Sox rained out and will be made up as a double header tomorrow.

The happiest of birthdays. A monumental one.

Do the O's get an extra roster spot for the double header?  If so any idea who gets the nod?

OOTP is deep, but not quite that deep.

From one of the developers:

But yeah, the simple fact of "double-header today give an extra roster spot" is pretty easy, but it's all the other stuff. You have to make sure when you're evaluating trading logic that teams aren't trying to build a 26-man roster and value a trade differently whether they have a double-header on that day or not. You probably want to make sure they're not making a waiver claim just for that 26th man spot. You need to make sure that roster logic doesn't go haywire when teams have an extra roster spot every couple weeks, causing them to churn through player options or DFA guys and whatnot.



Probably a bunch of other stuff too. I'd love to have this in, don't get me wrong. But it's definitely a lot more than a 5 minute fix.

My solution would be to not have an extra roster spot because, really. You can't manage a 25/26-man roster for a season like pretty much everyone has done for 120 years?  Especially now with the 3-batter rule, you don't have to have five guys who just face one batter a game.  I'd prefer a game with 21-man rosters where managers would really have hard choices, not just figuring out if their 8th- or 9th-best reliever was juuuust right for two out in the 7th.  Strategy comes from difficult, unintuitive decisions.  Not from acquiescing to managers' desires to do anything they want at any moment.

I think that's the key. With the 26th man already, not sure they need to add another slot.

      Cardinals open to trading Sonny Gray

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Rather sign Pivetta. Probably costs less and you don’t have to give up talent.  But if you get Gray cheaply and they eat some contract, he could be a plan c or d type guy.

      Wild card series roll call

      By spiritof66 · Posted

      In my mind, I'll be sitting right about where I was for Game 2 of the 2014 ALDS, which I think was in Section 53. In the real world, I'll be at home , probably on the sofa, with my broken ankle iced from time to time and elevated. I'll be following the game on TV and the game thread on my laptop. At least the building won't shake -- or if it does, I'll know there's a problem.  If only two of Westburg, Urias and me were going to return in time for Tuesday's opener, I guess I might as well be the odd man out.

      Just saw it.  Mutambo died earlier today.  Who is going to be the third?

      Gray is actually due $65M. $25M next year, $35M in 2026, and a $5M buyout on a $30M mutual option in 2027. Plus he has a no trade clause Not really any surplus value there. He could be worth close to 2/$65M, but pretty much no way he exceeds it. Doubt I would give up more than a bag of balls if they had to take on the whole contract.

      It can’t hurt to do research on him and place a call to Cards GM & see what’s involved . We need SP help .

      You must choose a 26-man roster from 26 seasons. Here are the rules. Ignore 2020 Select 13 position players, with 9 starters and 4 bench players Select 13 pitchers, with 5 starters and 8 relievers You can only select one player from each season from 1998-2024 (exclude 2020) You can only select a given player ONCE  Starting pitchers have to be starting pitchers, relievers have to be relievers I will amend rules as appropriate from any suggestions you have. Go.
