2011 National League stats, no point in comparing DH league, average OPS was .710 with nine teams above .700, average ERA was 3.81 with 10 teams below 4.00 .
SIM K per 9 innings pitched in beta is 10.5 whereas the National League has run in a fairly consistent 7-7.3 K per 9 innings pitched over the last few years, so it looks like strikeouts in beta are about 45% too high.

there is a problem with the game log. the reliever comes in, faces 16 batters and strikes out 13 of them. and there is no entry in the log which says "the pitcher is declared God by acclaimation."

14 post-season games so far; 62 total runs scored. That's fewer than 4.5 per game, total. First game of the World Series - 20 innings, 1-0, 22 hits combined. Can you say, "1968 on steroids."

the 45 strikeouts were fast pitch softballesque. nice work lvnwrth, btw, your team is quite awesome.

I once caught a pitcher over five games in a tourney, he worked 35 innings and gave up 2 earned runs on seven hits with 72 Ks, with two no hitters. We lost the final 1-0 on an unearned run and a bad call at the plate .
The only two ways it seemed you could score runs were:
A) slap single, steal second, bunt over to 3rd and then come home on a sac fly or passed ball.
B) Home run.
It was small ball or long ball and nothing in between. The top men softball pitchers throw in the 75-80 mph range from 46 feet, which allows roughly the same reaction time as a 100 mph fastball, except of course that the release point for that 80 mph is more like 42, or less, feet and it becomes the equivalent of about 108 meaning the reaction time is around .35 of a second.

Ok, I made some final tweaks to this over the last few days. Namely, I decreased strikeouts. The other changes were minor.Let me know if you see anything out of the ordinary.

it seems we are getting it one piece at the time. we had the strikeouts, now they are gone, and the walk is coming back into fashion. forget hitting though. its all about drawing the walk now.

i guess he put the strikeouts down, but they are just other kinds of outs. either way, it obviously is still way out of kilter.

I was surprised that Riggs retired. His Health was F, so I guess I worked him too hard and blew out his arm. I feel kinda guilty about it.
