			<description><![CDATA[ Pretty amazing that the White Sox could win this game, making nine errors along the way. Bobby Boken made six himself; he had three going in to the game. He
did have a shaky year defensively; but I haven&#39;t seen anything like this in all my years of playing apba/bbw/dmb (and I go way back). This from my 1934
replay. Oh yes. Bobby B tapped in the game winner.

			<description><![CDATA[ i have a 4 division league with 6 teams in each. i want to play 130 games in my season.
<br>
if i set it to 8 games (4h/4a) vs my own division (40 total) and (5 games) 3h/2a?? vs the other 3 divisions, i get 130 games.. but won&#39;t some teams play
more home games than others? does the DMB scheduler balance the h/a equally so that 1 division doesn&#39;t get ALL the added home games?
<br>
<br>
how does it, if not balanced?

sneaky suspicion that come next Friday, Dec 11, 2009, Pat and dmb are gonna make both 09 and version 10 available for purchase.  I dont have any insight, just
a &quot;gut&quot; feelin, and all the people doubting Pat and Luke(yes in that order-sorry Luke), will eat crow.......

			<description><![CDATA[ Just a quick question...
<br>
<br>
Has anyone ever had a strike thrown on a 3-0 count to the batter when playing a game with the &#39;show every play&#39; option selected?
<br>
<br>
I have played a ton of games, and have never had that occur.
<br>

Just wondering though.

			<description><![CDATA[ Typically, I play the projection disk, but this winter I want to replay 2009 using auto-play for the regular season, using real-life lineups and transactions. 
When I play the projection disk, I manually use real life transactions and lineups.  Each day I adjust rosters according to what happened in real life.  I use
the actual lineup used in real life for that game.   I&#39;m hoping that will not be necessary when using the 2009 season disk. So my question is, when using

			<description><![CDATA[ In 1969 we have a handful of good hitting pitchers.  Will the CM EVER use a pitcher as a PH if there is ANY batter on the bench (regardless of quality)? 
I&#39;ve noticed that the CM will NOT PH much for a good hitting pitcher, but I have never seen it PH one.

Second question: Is there a way to have pitchers listed on batting side of the Team Status report?  I didn&#39;t see an obvious way. UPDATE: I found a way to

			<link>http://dmbforum.yuku.com/topic/6690/t/Park-factor-adjustments.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Does anyone know the best way to predict the park factor adjustments based on the player&#39;s home / road splits?  I know that the game takes home park into
consideration (i.e. in pre-humidor days, Colorado hitters would always perform at a lower level in DMB leagues than in real life). If I look at a player&#39;s
home / road stats from last year, is his road stats a good indication of how he might perform in a DMB league as opposed to considering his overall stats?

			<description><![CDATA[ I want some input from others on this:  the two starting corner outfielders, both rated for each position, have ratings of Av/Fr and Fr/Av.  The question is
which one would you put where?
<br>
<br>
My own current opinion is that while the better arm would be nice in right, it&#39;s even more important to make sure balls get cut off to that side, as the
runner will always make it from 1st to 3rd (ok, most of the time) if the ball isn&#39;t cut off in right, regardless of arm strength.

year instead of 1 year.  (And they werent Dominican neither).  What date cutoff do they use for determing what age will show up on cards?

And do we have a date yet for 09 season disk mailings?

			<description><![CDATA[ I was just bumming around the DMB site and came across a program that was called &#39;Hindsight.&#39;

I clicked on the link to download it, but it says the page no longer exists. Does anyone have the program or know where I can get it? It sounds like it would
be useful during my replays with finding no hitters, longest games, most home runs hit, etc.

Thanks!

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi All -
<br>
<br>
Over the past several years, I&#39;ve spent time dabbling with a lot of different simulations (Action, DMB, Strat, Replay, SBS), and I think I&#39;ve come to
the conclusion that I like DMB the most. The play by play and overall accuracy just can&#39;t be beat in my opinion.
<br>
<br>
With that said, I do enjoy playing some non-MLB games every once in a while, and while the DMB community seems to be great at really enhancing the game, there
aren&#39;t that many minor league... ]]></description>

like listening to the radio broadcast of a baseball game while in my combine. I know, I have issues! ]]></description>
