Week 3, 2012

[JeffHCross]

I did record it, I've also got my game against Escobar recorded as well. Not sure when I will be able to get them up but I hope soon.

Did you conveniently not record our game last season?

is there anything funnier than watching pitchers try to hit Playoff level major league pitching lol

The funny thing is the hardest hit ball yesterday against Halladay was by the Cincy reliever.

I'm fairly positive I didn't get the time back. I always pick either 1 hr or 30 min depending on my focus, this guy was a WR and not a highly needed player for next year, I picked 30 min used 2 topics (1 topic and 1 scholly offer) and he committed. When I came back to the screen, I only had 1 hr left, I had 1:30 left before the call.

[Oneback]

Interesting, I honestly don't know if you get the time back. I always offer on the last topic. Can anyone else confirm?

I've definitely got the time back. I noticed it early on and that's why I always make my scholly offer first. Multiple times I've selected 60 minutes and came out of the call with say 7 hrs and 50 min left.

[psuexv]

This would be really dumb but I wonder if you only get the time back if they commit right away and not after you pitch them a couple of things. I can honestly say I have never seen an instant commit after I have pitched them a couple topics. It's usually right when I offer or when I go to make the call and it comes up as instant commit and doesn't even take me into the call screen.

[fsuprime]

i only offer on the last pitch, so unless its the each insta-commit i dont get time back anyways

[psusnoop]

I'm with psuexv, I tend to offer for the first pitch and get time back. I have on occasion though waited to offer until I unlocked a Most then offered next. Once it worked and I got a commit (probably would have gotten a commit had I offered earlier too) but each time I got time back.

Speaking of recruiting, I can't wait to battle Oregon.

KingPin what does your weekend look like? Maybe a Saturday night game for us?

[JeffHCross]

Well I "only" need to put in around 52 hours next week (as of now, heh)

As expected, things changed.

Now I only have like 40-42 hours to put in. Because of how my tasks fall onto the calendar, I'll be going in on Sunday and then taking Wednesday off. Don't ask about why.

I'm keeping in touch with Papa, and right now we're scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday) after the Buckeyes game. We might move it up tonight depending on how both of us feel after he's off work.

As others have more or less said, I know there are times I get the time back. I'm with psuexv that the answer might be Instant Commit on phone call versus Instant Commit on scholarship offer. I know when the player commits out of the blue that I get the time back. I can't say for sure if I get the time back when he commits on offer. I offer my scholarships at random points in the call, but I've only gotten a handful of instants lately, so I'm not sure.

and giants pitcher just hit a RBI single back up the middle lol

[JeffHCross]

After staring at computer screens all day, I find myself unable to look at the TV without blinking way, way too much. So I'm heading to bed, and Papa and I will play tomorrow after the noon games are done.

I'm back at home in Dallas, so I'm not sure about Saturday night as I may be at the Fair, but I should be free most of the day on Sunday. I'll let you know how Saturday night is looking for me though.

No rush KingPin, either way is fine with me.

[JeffHCross]

IronDragon, you are not listed as Ready to Advance. Looks like your recruiting didn't update again.

[Iron Dragon]

I don't think I recruited, so I'll do it now.

[JeffHCross]

Ohio State loses a 1 pt game at home, after Texas orchestrates a ridiculously calm 11 play, 80 yard drive that eats up all but :29 of the remaining clock.

Ohio State completely blows a 27-10 lead in the process, coming up essentially empty, except for one FG, after the first possession of the second half.

[Papa LoneStar]
