Sucks to be me.

In one game (Angels vs Tigers) two of my closers blow their save opportunities.

All in all, I had a very sucky week. I had been hoping to gain something from playing the last place team but now he's up in the standings and I am way down.

Also, I happen to have 3 dedicated 2B players and 2 of them are injured (with minor problems). I even have a fourth 2B if you count a multi-position player with 2B eligibility. At this rate, I may need to start him at 2B.

I am not doing too bad. My starting pitchers lost almost all their games this past week but their ERA was around 3 (no run support I suppose). However, my offense picked up the slack (somewhat) to make up for it.

Pitching is my forte so I hope my starters get some run support from their teams for some wins.

I'll pass then. Right now, especially Dunn and Rios, they're my only producers.

Interested in moving Abreu now? Although going 1 for 8 so far tonight is a slight improvement on his 0 for 16 skid (or whatever it ended up to be).

I have five SP getting their starts tomorrow and I may end up sitting one of them. Last week it was a bit of a problem but I figured that with days off between series and the odd rain delay that I would be fine. Instead it got even worse. Oh well, Wednesday night will be do or die night.

I even have two SP facing each other. I guess I'll hope for a 1-0 victory on one hit. Scratch that. A 1-0 victory on a series of errors.

I actually got that 1-0 victory between my two pitchers. Okay, it wasn't on a series of errors but I don't mind one of my SP getting stuck with 1 ER. My opponent this week is winning all of his starts and getting some wins from the bullpen too.

I'm interested in freeing up a roster spot but there isn't anyone that I want to drop at this time.

Thus I am interested in a two for one trade deal whereby 2 of my players are moved for one "better" player.

Ideally, I'd like to move one of my 2Bs along with one SP for a good outfielder.

bangbang023 is getting smoked 10-1.

At this point it looks like he'll be lucky to exit the week 9-2.

I had a similar matchup two weeks ago but I roared back last week.

I've had no real output from either sides of the game, offense or pitching. It's killed me pretty badly.

The entire point of my trading with L3thal was to solve my surplus 2b problem. Now, we finally came to a deal and guess what... we settled on players that were not second basemen. That was kinda dumb. I guess I lost that deal.

Just picked up a pretty good free agent...

He was available for a while but I would have had to drop two active players to pick him up (because I had someone on the DL who was no longer injured).

On another note, I got some confirmation why I drafted Santana 1st overall. In addition to the win, he had 13 strikeouts, 1.29 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP for last night's game.

Now if only I hadn't started Tim Wakefeld against the Yankees...

Lance Berkman has been a waste of space since I acquired him. The only seemingly uplifting thought is that Troy Glaus started a 0 for 16 slump seemingly the day after he left my team.

Looks like I lost the strikeout race this week. It looks like I'll finish around 61 and L3thal has at least 63 at this point but then again I don't have stat tracker.

It looks like Joe Blanton had a bit of a rough ride so maybe I'll gain the WHIP statistic.

    • AMD 9070XT

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.

      I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
