Game updates

The Inmates swept a 5-game set against the Oilers at the Baptist Bowl. The Inmates are now 19-15 and a game out of first place in the MFD. The Oilers drop to 15-28.

The DVs and the visiting Bees went 1-1 at Depends Park.

Here's the report from the DVs...

Only note is that the last game was decided in the bottom of the 11th when Vernon Wells hit a walk off home run to win. The interesting part is that it came off the STARTER Chad Billingsley, who HAL decided needed to blow out his arm (and innings) in this tilt.

The moral of the story could be multiple choice:

A. Netplay, Netplay, Netplay
B. Use Super Hal bullpen settings
C. If you send a computer manager, make sure you check the Max 6 (or 7) innings per Start selection.
D. Be prepared to have some starters throw 2 or 3 inning starts at your home games to correct the imbalance.

I'll throw in a word of advice when setting up starting pitchers on hal or super hal.... Change the "max runs" or whatever it is in the lower right corner for each pitcher to something other than 0. If you want a guy potentially jerked out in the first inning, then leave it at 0. If you want him to go for a bit, then change it to some other number.
