[IBL] Newsletter July 13, 2021

[Russell Peltz]

No results are missing through week 6.  Great job!


PITCHER STARTS RULING
---------------------
We passed a rule that gives pitchers starts for MLB relief appearances in
which they face 18 or
more batters, so that they can legally be used early in IBL games.
However, some of these pitchers
were not given a starting pitcher fatigue rating because they never
officially started a game.

I am now ruling that as long as a pitcher has one or more starts listed in
the starts/limits file,
they may be used as a starting pitcher in the IBL.  Their starting pitcher
BF rating should be
considered to be the same as their relief pitcher BF rating.


MILESTONE
---------
Congratulations to Miguel Cabrera of the Monrovia Madness!  With the
Madness trailing
the South Florida Flamingos 7-5 in game two of their week 5 home series,
Cabrera drilled
a walk-off three run home run for his second homer of the game and the
500th of his career.
He becomes the 12th member of the IBL 500 home run club.


SCHEDULE
--------
It is week 7, and August for weather.

I've decided at Sean's suggestion to add a real life week off before the
trading deadline,
to allow a little extra time to settle trades and set up playoff rosters.

Also, a reminder -- we don't have expanded rosters this year.  Active
rosters will be 26
players for the entire regular season and postseason.

Week 7 results are due Monday, July 19.
Week 8 transaction deadline is Tuesday, July 20.

Week 8 results are due Monday, August 2.
Real life off week from August 3 to August 9.
Week 9 transaction deadline (TRADE DEADLINE) is Tuesday, August 10.

Week 9 results are due Monday, August 23.
Week 10 results are due Monday, September 6.
Week 11 results are due Monday, September 20.
