Hi Chief,
I think my time is running out. This will be
my last season as a professional ballplayer.

Sincerely,
Alex Morabito

Should have let him walk as a FA so he could retire a Twin....

Anyways a month in and Mission wasnt kidding about starting pitchers going longer into games. 12 CGs so far already (I havent gotten that many since Degroat and Avila were getting a crap ton in the 10s). Who needs a bullpen? Only two guys have more than 2 IP so far. Offense has not suffered at all.

Batting AVG: .292 (3rd)
Homeruns: 26 (T-21st)
Walks: 121 (1st)
Stolen Bases: 43 (T-12th)
Runs Scored: 179 (2nd)

Pitching ERA: 3.80 (4th)
Opponents AVG: .248 (7th)
HRs Allowed: 24 (8th)
Walks Allowed: 51 (1st)
Runs Allowed: 119 (6th)

Hey Boss,
I will hang up the cleats after this season.
It was a great time, but my family needs me now.

Sorry I won't be getting you that elusive 5th ring.

Thursday 5/1/2029: Pitcher of the Month award winners announced
The best month of April in the AL certainly had Toronto's right-hander Felipe Benitez, earning him the Pitcher of the Month award. He started 8 games in April, going 6-2 and compiling an ERA of 2.22 in 69 innings. Felipe fanned 71 hitters. Felipe also fired a shutout.

Thursday 5/1/2029: Batter of the Month award winners announced
The Batter of the Month award in the AL goes to Toronto's Jesus Alvarado this time, as the first baseman displayed the best offensive perfomance in his league. Jesus went 34 for 102 (.333), while hitting 12 HR and collecting 32 RBI.


the legend continues even at old age and barely any ratings, current season leader in Avg and hits
Paul "The Fireman" Galeana gets 1500 career stolen bases and passes Larry walker on the career hits with 2660

How the hell can you expect Slyder to click on McC and actually read where it says that? Be reasonable.

I never said it be his ONLY ring. Just His ring for Minnesota. I dont like seeing studs getting rings with division foes if they spend time with me.

Legend.

I took a chance on him back when he had lost talent, got him from San Diego.

Talent bump and 16 years later, he retires with a productive career.

And kill my fan interest?!?!? You had a chance to acquire him and chose not to. That's your fault.

Does OOTP love Colorado that much every year they seem to be a +5 or so.

[Slyder]

Who needs a pen? Mission wasnt kiddin when he said pitchers were going to go deeper into games. My team has played in 41 games thus far, and the rotation has 20 complete games (almost every other day is a CG from SOMEONE). The pen beyond Omara and Mike McC has a COMBINED 7 appearances and 9 IPs.

The Rotation has a combined 338 IP thus far of 351 innings.

Batting AVG: .292 (4th)
Homeruns: 36 (24th)
Walks: 173 (3rd)
Stolen Bases: 66 (11th)
Runs Scored: 260 (3rd)

Pitching ERA: 3.59 (2nd)
Opponents AVG: .251 (7th)
HRs Allowed: 28 (2nd)
Walks Allowed: 82 (1st)
Runs Allowed: 161 (2nd)

Im lovin this new era.

Woo, from 10 under to .500

They have to make up for the Top FA's rejecting my offers every year....just ask mission

[realmofotalk]

So you're telling me that Jorge Martinez wasn't a top FA?

Something about not winning 70 games for 3-4 years in a row does have a lingering effect.

He's no Jesus Sanchez!

Even when he won, he had horrible luck with the top tier guys.
