2021 S3SL Random Ramblings

[Kingdom]

Woo, 1st place and no Tiano

[browntown653]

11-16...3/5th of my rotation has been tremendous, Easley and Tiano have pitched well and Stonebraker has been 100x times better than ever...however, Ronald Belizario is off to the worst start in MLB history. And Doyle Reason sucks.

He also raised his contact.
Antonio Depaz increases his Contact vs Righties from 7 to 8 .

Just pissed with this sim.

HiGgy.... you're not supposed to be LOSING to my inferior team.... you bastard, you about single handedly made me have a winning SIM

[Slyder]

14-13, 2nd place. You know if none wants to deal for my guys on my firesale. Im in no hurry to take on San Diego with what I have right now. Especially with all the pitching near being ready.

You know I will gladly take Ramon Crespo off you for some more nearing ready talent. He could be replaced by Saunders in the rotation.

Anyways... 1st place. My offense is carrying the pitching which I know doesnt usually work for long. So Im still looking for pitching help if anyone has any.

The Good: Dapena and Degroat are pitching much closer to what they are capable of. Evans, Franklin, and Vera are holding things down in the pen but the rest need to be fixed.

Batting AVG: .301 (4th)
Homeruns: 28 (11th)
Walks: 69 (28th)
Stolen Bases: 27 (T-12th)
Runs Scored: 162 (7th)

Pitching ERA: 5.02 (18th)
Opponents AVG: .279 (18th)
HRs Allowed: 25 (T-16th)
Walks Allowed: 75 (4th)
Runs Allowed: 135 (12th)

How can someone have given up the 12th fewest runs and it equates into the 18th rated ERA?

[browntown653]

Maybe Ricky Ornelas could pitch for you. You know you want him.

It's been interesting to watch my Padres. In 2018 I was 36-126 and then in 2019 improved to 78-84. Last year with a 82-80 record was the Pads first winning record in this league since 2015.

So at the end of last year when my two youngest and most talented players took hits that made them suck. I didn't even bother with free agency. Outside of fan interest boost. Yet here they are 19-10 and I'm going on record as saying SP, Eddie Harris was the biggest steal of the 2020 free agency.

I know we've heard this NUMEROUS times from me... but....

HOW THE HELL AM I WINNING?

[Saber]

The injury bug hit early this year. Oh well.

[browntown653]

I know we've heard this NUMEROUS times from me... but....

HOW THE HELL AM I WINNING?

7 game winning streak! Go O's Go!

[perforatededge54]

Seven game winning streak for the Stros too. WOO. I should be GM of the month.

We should go back and check all of the GMs of the year that were elected because I certainly don't remember them. Tally 'em up. See who's boss.

[OrioleMagic]

Unbelievable. Cy Young Candidate Benjamin Dewar is called up from the Philly AAA squad to take the Majors by STORM. He has 2 wins and ZERO losses with a 0.38 ERA and a 0.79 WHIP. Look out NL ROY! Here comes Dewar!

[browntown653]

I was GM of the year in my 3rd year...or at least somebody picked me with the Brewers. I know Dave mentioned me. Then I left for reasons I don't remember...

[browntown653]

Wow...Dewar, the worst regular season pitcher in OOTP history, IS TEARING SHIT UP

[Molina00]

Clement Hill for ROY? So far batting over .370 with an OBP over .400. On pace for over 200 hits. Not a lot of run production because he was batting low in the order but I'm moving him to the top of the order.

Hill for basically Neely has got to be possibly the best trade I've made in this league. All my other deals for prospects have either bombed or not yet come to fruition.
