2022 Random Ramblings

Wow, the NL Central really is the worst division in the league... I won't even rub it in if my crappy ass team wins, its hardly even an accomplishment.

John Montoya is on pace for a 66 homerun, 240 RBI season, with 24 SBs.

I haven't had a pitching staff in 5 seasons... whoops.

[Porter]

Someone explain to me how this team is in 2nd place. Better yet how is this team -3 in the pyt rec?!?!?

Batting AVG: .270 (18th)
Homeruns: 29 (T-10th)
Walks: 70 (28th)
Stolen Bases: 25 (17th)
Runs Scored: 155 (12th)

Pitching ERA: 3.56 (1st)
Opponents AVG: .255 (4th)
HRs Allowed: 23 (6th)
Walks Allowed: 98 (19th)
Runs Allowed: 111 (1st)

1st in ERA and 1st in Runs Allowed?!?!?!? I might have to swap Ukyo and Daigenault for Closer and Setup.

I pretty much declared that a week ago. I barely have a team and I'm three under .500. Testament to how sad teams are.


Kenneth Stetson for Cy Young, weeeeee.

Pythagorean expectation is a formula invented by Bill James to estimate how many games a baseball team "should" have won based on the number of runs they scored and allowed. The term is derived from the formula's resemblance to the Pythagorean theorem.

The basic formula is:

...and there you have it

Detroit

Batting AVG: .328 (3rd)
Homeruns: 36 (4th)
Walks: 101 (10th)
Stolen Bases: 28 (T-13th)
Runs Scored: 194 (4th)

Pitching ERA: 3.79 (2nd)
Opponents AVG: .264 (8th)
HRs Allowed: 19 (5th)
Walks Allowed: 82 (8th)
Runs Allowed: 115 (2nd)

6.0 game lead, 21-5 on the season. Hopefully we can keep it up. Got some good talent in this division, so hopefully this momentum carries.

[DiamondDave]

Now tied for 1st in the AL east, while 28th in runs scored

The young pitching staff seems to be gelling though, being 4th in ERA and runs scored against and giving up only 15 HRs so far this season

[browntown653]

My pitching staff is a ****ing joke

[Dry1313]

2nd place by 1 and 2 games respectively, and a half game back of Mission.

This is the ****ing hardest division ever.

[Halladay_is_God]

this sucks, my team sucks

[Kingdom]

Only 4 back, how sad. I bet if I made a few non-rebuilding moves, I could take this division again. Better yet, if I had CRod..

Hmm, the pen has been pretty solid thus far (and just about all of it is for trade, *nudge*nudge). Worst offense I have ever had, Luera and Matty hitting under .200? Eesh. Valverde decided to gain more talent at age 31. Weird.

[Witlon]

19-23?!?!??

Where the hell did that come from? And the team is hitting? Huh?

Theodore Butera seems to have improved his pure stuff!

My main piece in the Erazo/Deshazo deal... now 10-7-9 talent, throws 96, and has 9 endurance. Now a potential ace, along with a leadoff man of the future (technically now), a power hitting short stop, potential #5 pitcher at 6-6-9 talent (longshot, but I aim low), and a decent middle reliever, I'm really happy with the pieces I came up with.


Marlin Talley seems to have improved his pure stuff!

Once an intigriguing 2nd round pick, who was almost ready out of the draft, he looked shot after a season-ender... I had promoted him to AAA right off the bat, and bam, season ender killed all of his talent. His stuff slowly dropped down to his then lower talent. This past sim I figured I'd demote him for kicks instead of cutting him, since he's still very young... and he took a boost for me. Makes me wonder how he'd be if it wasn't for the massive drop off before...


And the bad:

Bernal Valverde out 7 weeks.

[missionhockey21]

What the hell, didn't Butera drop down a sim or two ago? Or at least I thought OM was talking about one of his prospects declining somewhat recently.
