HBD musings, observations, and anecdotes by ME, Beloved Commish

*If you have multiple teams, when you check your first one and it lost, chances are all your other teams are going to lose as well.
*Your best hitters or pitchers will frequently and regularly be outperformed by much more mediocre players, in fact there tends to be a direct correlation between ratings and under/over performances.
*Some teams and players will always be underachievers, no matter what you do. A 70/90/70/70/80 hitter can easily be a career .275 career hitter in a hitters park, but your 50/60/60/60/50 hitter might easily be a .290 hitter in a pitchers park.
*The "320 ft shot to CF" in the home run derby, undermines any claim to logic in the sim.
*If your team starts hot, it will almost always collapse.
*The draft and IFA are not the best and fastest way to build. Most of the truely league killing franchises got that way through trade rapes/aliases. Draft and IFA are no guarantees and I have rarely seen a team add both a stud draft pick and international in the same year, year after year.
*Too many users take themselves way too seriously. Holy fuck we're playing imaginary baseball General Manager online, anonymously. Take pride in your teams but don't take it sooo goddamn seriously, relax.
*Since there is no "intangible" code (so claims admin), those seeking realism are tilting at windmills.
*If they do make the draft fuzzier or increase the chance of busts, then DITRs must have a better chance at becoming MLers, and in very rare cases, even studs.
*If results are truely ratings based and occur in a vacuum (as claimed by admin), then there's no way a 80/80/80 pitcher wouldn't get pounded by a 30/40/40/40/40 hitter, and vice versa. This observation is tied with the intangible code. There must be a luck or performance boost/dampen script in the code.
*I've long believed the delay before seasons start is when the engine "rolls the dice" and your team's season is pre-determined. You ever notice that if your team is struggling nothing will change that, not a huge trade, call-up, nothing.

I'll add more as I think of crap.
