a dance-off to determine home field advantage?
That’s the one idea of Buck’s that I’ve actually liked. Can we get Zito and Chavvy to do their little postseason victory dance?
Watch there be a walk off homer first batter. Especially
after the mammoth thread we’ve just had. Murphy’s law.
Beat me to it.

I thought this game was going fast ...
that’s always what happens when you think that.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
I was just looking at Carlos Quentin's wiki page...
After noticing his 900 OPS this season, and thought shucks, wouldn’t it have been nice if the A’s had drafted him.
Or if they had traded Christopher Carter for him, instead of receiving him for Haren. A’s got the wrong end of that? Hopefully patrol craft can eventually put up what Quentin is doing.
How's he doing?
Is he in any of the minor league updates that have been done thus far?
Hitting for incredible power in High A. 26 ish homers I think.
His average is coming around too – .260ish I think. Meant to be manning 3rd and one of the corners in the outfield too (though sadly not at the same time, he’s no Jeter).
I just found a bunch about him by searching, actually.
Yeah, the bat’s a good sign, but people don’t seem to expect him to be able to play 3b.
He looked safe to me but need a replay.

Exact quote in today's paper
This is the sixth year of the World Series home-field advantage being determined by the All-Star Game winner. How do you feel it’s going?
I feel even better than I did when I first did it. There’s an intensity in this game that was missing. You had guys leaving by the fifth or sixth inning. But last year, when the National League rallied in the ninth inning I saw every player in the dugout, watching and cheering.
People say, “You ought to give the advantage to the team with the best record.” We can’t do that, for pragmatic reasons. We can’t wait that long to work on it.

actually...
since interleague play was introduced, the NL has won it more times than interleague play.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
NL last won the all star game in 96.
won interleague in 97, 99, 02, 03
"The hard... is what makes it great."
Why not just make an outfielder throw strikes until someone hits a dinger?
It should have happened for the tied game, it should happen if it needs to here.

Debatable, but I prefer Baseball Mogul,
although I might give OOTP a spin, as Sports Interactive bought them, and my previous complaint with FM was that it crashed my computer too much. (Details in Blez’ earlier thread today.)
"The hard... is what makes it great."
So, for a guy that grew up loving
Stratomatic, but has no baseball simulation experience, would there be a preference here?

word on the street is that ...
baseball mogul is easier to use, but ootp’s sim engine is better.
i can’t confirm or deny that.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
switched this year, played CM before...
FM isn’t bad at all… although, I don’t know about next year. (I’m doing a LLM now instead of playing with West Ham as usual… so I’m kind of invested in this game.)
"The hard... is what makes it great."
It used to be called Championship Manager before the company split.
If I remember correctly, Sega (who produced the game) took the Championship Manager name and SI (I think that’s what they’re called) took the programme (and called it Football Manager).
TMI? Yeah, thought so.
Honestly I'd prefer a tie
in hopes of getting rid of the “importance” of this game and put in on something like record or interleague etc.
so does this mean
that: a) All-Star pitching is awesome, b) All-Star hitting is absolutely terrible, or c) the umpires are trying to screw Selig?
true

Selig's quote in today's paper on home field advantage to the team with the best record
Since it’s getting scrolled down already:
This is the sixth year of the World Series home-field advantage being determined by the All-Star Game winner. How do you feel it’s going?
I feel even better than I did when I first did it. There’s an intensity in this game that was missing. You had guys leaving by the fifth or sixth inning. But last year, when the National League rallied in the ninth inning I saw every player in the dugout, watching and cheering.
People say, "You ought to give the advantage to the team with the best record." We can’t do that, for pragmatic reasons. We can’t wait that long to work on it.

"We can't do that"
How does the NBA manage to do that?
That's ridiculous
They don’t know who’s gonna host games until the team from the correct league wins anyway. That could be 2 days before the World Series starts. Selig lies though his teeth, and poorly.

The Price being paid.....
The truth is that the teams that are going to be paying the highest price for the All-Star game continuing into extra innings, are the ones that did not win the popularity contest. Which usually is small payroll teams.

Egg on his Face. I heard Selig on the radio yesterday, and he was taking all the credit for the Tampa Rays success and league wide “competitiveness”.

Can you imagine....
the fallout if Kazmir comes in…throws 60 pitches ….and the game is called for a tie?
Why is Kazmir even there if he can't pitch?
Was he a vote in?
If you or your team doesn't want you to pitch you really should just be replaced by someone.
would really take some of the handling issues of other staffs off a managers plate.
Pitchers aren’t voted in they are manager selections iirc.
Well it's always hugely unlikely to go a gazillion innings, so I wouldn't want to deny
a guy the All-Star experience because he’s not available to pitch. They probably should have a contingency plan though.
Not saying not to be there but just have another warm body for the game.
I know then you’re looking at 50 man rosters but hell rather that then putting someone else’s guy in jeopardy
