The TXSIN Head Bashers: An Advanced Tactic
On this first screen, take particular notice of the players in the “R” position. What does that say about the player? Answer: It says that the player is playing a “relief” position, or coming in for relief of another player. The next question then is this: How did these players start in the “relief” position?
To answer that question, the starters are “AWOL” or they simply didn’t show up for the game. How can this be useful for playing Bush League Baseball? People playing the game generally look at players not showing up as a BAD thing. I did for a good long while, until I realized that I have 20 players, whether they show up or not. I should utilize those players as best as I can, including AWOL players. I’m not going to put an injured player in the lineup for fear that the guy might actually play and hurt himself further. I will put AWOL players in the lineup. The players who are on the bench, come off and fill in the lineup. BLB fills from top to bottom by position (P, C, 1B, 2B, etc…) by starting from the bottom of the “Basic Info” screen on BLB. Furthermore, this will add a confusion aspect to the opponent should they check in to see if you are prepared. It will appear to them as though you are not, which in fact you are… As a further screen to them, you may want to keep your “Tactics” the same throughout the season, but constantly change your “Advanced Tactics” to continue the questioning of whether you have checked in or not on your team. If your “Tactics” always remain the same, the question mark will always remain for your opponent, keeping them guessing and ever so unsure on how to play you.
In this particular game, I planned for Bonds to come in for Glove, ‘Yungi for Babe, and Blow for Fielder. I also planned the batting order for these guys, knowing they would be replacing the others. So if Johnny Ray (3B) was “AWOL”, who would replace him? Joe Blow would, due to him being in the “B9” position. Joe Blow would always be the first replacement, since he is in the “B9” position. ‘Yungi would be the second replacement, and Bonds would be the third. If the pitcher, catcher, and 1B didn’t show up, who would pitch? Blow. Catch? Sumyungi. 1B? Bonds. Bonds couldn’t start as a replacement player in this scenario. Blow could be the only other starter in this scenario besides Sarcastic.
