2012 Ramblings

[DMBZeppelin]

I didn't realize we had a huge AL trend going on, I hope an NL team takes it this year. If it wasn't for Roy Oswalt, I may have won it all in 2008. The guy beat me with not his arm, but his bat in a Game 7 at Wrigley in the World Series.

we had Stlouis winning the WS

[Providence A's]

when Anaheim traded for Villegas it seemed everyone said they were going to win.

Except me. I didn't think I'd miss the postseason, but I knew I did not have the pitching to tango with St. Louis or CHc. I'm confident I would have made the playoffs if I kept Lester and Thompson.

To be fair, he beat you with the arm and the bat.

Not really, you don't score you don't win. Both our offenses weren't doing anything. Then somehow someone with 1 contact winds up with a couple hits and a couple RBI's.

That was awesomely...random. Great series, glad I got to sim that one.

Roy doesn't go 8 strong, I don't win either. Like I said, he did it with the arm and the bat.

Apparently you're not getting this. We all know he's a great pitcher, but my pitcher was hanging in there with him. They cancel each other out. The difference and why you won was his bat. Because if he doesn't get those RBIs and my pitcher gets the pitcher out (something that's usually easy) to end innings. You don't score the winning runs. Because if I'm not mistaken he had all your RBI's, but there's no point in continuing this. You're over analyzing what I said.

[Providence A's]

Yea, that was 4 years ago...who cares? What have you done lately Dam? Oh, that's right...tank.

When have I intenionally not fielded my best team at any time in this league?

[Providence A's]

The 2 seasons before this year when you finished in last (2009, 2010)...the last year was the only year you didn't field a team of 1.0 star players. The point was that you haven't done jack since winning in 2008. I'll be interested to see when it turns around. You've got some good specs and players now, but they didn't do too well this season.

Whatever, as long as people are active, then I'm happy. It's the people that aren't active that get me...since I've taken over we have simmed regularly 2 - 3 times a week so people can't use that as an excuse.

It was still my best team, just my best team sucked. That happens when you trade your 10 or so best players from the previous year.

had some very, very minor development during the division series' sim... but it made me happy nonetheless

Dellin Betances has increased his lower body strength, his duration raises!

he managed a career high 217.1 innings last season with his 7 endurance, but now its up to an 8... should be beastly. 9-7-8-8 overall on 10-7-8-8 ratings, and still only 24 years old. <3333

Friday 11/3/2012 :
Dellin Betances's pitches have more bite now, the movement has improved!

his ratings appear to be the same as before, but thats alright... he's still a freaking beast and its great to see him continually develop. it really paid off spending a 1st round pick on him when he was a 17 year old with 8-7-8 ratings.
