2009 Season Ramblings

[General]

Crazy, is there a way to clear people's stats? I noticed some of the historical players start off with all their stats from their actual playing days, to which their new stats are added on to. Ex., Cal Ripken is going on 3500 hits, while he's only played 2 years.

I can try to do that, but it may not be possible.

[Molina00]

I noticed that too. Kind of wierd seeing a 22-24 year old having 3500 career hits.

[jf7623]

I can try to do that, but it may not be possible.

There is a player editior tool out there to make it possible

I wake up to a new sim and there is some fun stuff in the AL to look at.

Matt Newberry of the San Antonio Showshoppers has posted 69 strikeouts in 37 innings, or 16.78 K/9, a .167 BAA, and a .86 WHIP. But he's not a top ten in ERA, as he has a 3.65 ERA which is surprising considering how dominant his early numbers are.

Ken Griffey Jr. of the Lousiville Sluggers has hit in 58 AB's, 14 homers, 4 doubles and 1 triple. 14 homers this early, that's right. Or you could say he has 19 EBH and none of those whimpy singles. With Griffey, it's literally been all or nothing this year, he just does the 'all' option quite frequently.

As for some quick Savannah news, 10-5 sim so I can't complain. The offense didn't take off like I expected it to, but I saw some nice development, in particular:

Chad Billingsley increases his Control vs Righties from 5 to 6 .
Chad Billingsley increases his Control vs Lefties from 5 to 6 .
Chad Billingsley increases his Overall Control from 5 to 6 .
Chad Billingsley increases his Control Talent from 7 to 8 .

[General]

What the ****, all of my lineups are ****ed up. Felix ****ing Pie started at C while V-Mart and Barrett sat on the goddamn bench.

[albbla2000mu]

Smokies started out 9-1, but we fell off with 5 straight losses. Overall, pretty good sim...were just getting this freight train started.

[General]

Crazy, did you even get my PM? Cause these are some ****ed up lineups.

[mntwinsfan]

Vegas went 9-6. On a 4 game win streak. Lost 2 to the Angels is the only downfall. Upside to sim Francis is 3-0!

Vegas gm

[CrazyEights]

Crazy, did you even get my PM? Cause these are some ****ed up lineups.

See...there is a reason to own the game. lol Seriously, I did get your PM, and I tried to get it right, but here is the thing. It was really late when I entered your changes and you submitted changes for all of your minor league teams even though you knew that I had a ton of stuff to enter for this sim. I didn't enter your minor league line-ups, and may have made some mistakes with your line-ups. Did you see what time I finally finished the sim and updated BOSI?

[DiamondDave]

some people just have to complain... insead of just accepting that it is a game, sucking it up and driving on

[CrazyEights]

Matt Newberry of the San Antonio Showshoppers has posted 69 strikeouts in 37 innings, or 16.78 K/9, a .167 BAA, and a .86 WHIP. But he's not a top ten in ERA, as he has a 3.65 ERA which is surprising considering how dominant his early numbers are.

Line-ups should be stacked with LHB everytime Newberry pitches. Right Handed Batters hit ..087 against Newberry and Left Handed Batters hit .263 against him.

[Providence A's]

My team did better than I thought...and better than their overall numbers would determine...7 - 8. Also, some how my 5th starter wasn't in my rotation despite the fact that I exported it in... The only thing I can think of is that Crazy may have bumped him off by accident making the changes after the Halladay trade...no biggie

We took 2 of 3 from Savannah and Louisville...won the 1st game against Tennessee...can't see the rest of the games because it won't go that far back. I'll have to wait until the file is posted.

My player development (that is shown on BOSI atleast...I don't know if that's all of it) was pretty bad a lot of decreases to guys on my MLB team
