You just roll a die and end up either on the pitcher's card or the hitter's card

So some of the concerns I'd normally have (is it useful to have power hitters against a group of pitchers who presumably massively suppress homers)

Don' really apply

THis whole thing sounds incredibly fun though

Very helpful, thanks! In doing my research about this deck, I've realized that I don't even know who more than 50% of these people are!

Isn't it great??

Every week I learn something new about baseball via opening OOTP packs, and this sounds really similar

Yesterday my wife opened up a card of a guy named Creepy Crespi

Just lol

Yeah, for example these pitchers in the late 1800s NEVER gave up homers because homers just weren't a thing. So their cards are amazingggg

Ben Clemens

Yeah. I guess for that reason you don't want to have an interactive model... like if a guy has a 0% home run rate, it doesn't matter whether he's facing Babe Ruth or Ichiro

Nick Martini will be inducted to the HoF on the first or second ballot?

Ben Clemens

3:44

Third ballot, due to whispers of PED use

never substantiated, though

3:45

With that, friends, I'm going to call it a day.

I mean, I suppose it's called a day

But I'm going to end the chat

Have a wonderful rest of your day, and I mean, if you get the chance, come catch me on FanGraphs Live tomorrow

Be safe, everyone!
