2015 Random Ramblings

I think everyone's just used to it because they've grown accustomed to it, but a 0-100 scale can give you a better gague on the player's abilities IMHO.

I don't think it'd take too long to get used to it, either, especially for those of us who have played a lot of Madden.

On a 1-10 scale you don't know if one 10 is better than the other 10.

But in a 0-100 scale it's easy to determine that the 97 is better than the 91

Hollywood speaks the truth. It's simple mathematics.

[Saber]

Yeah, but it's the unknown that makes the game that much more fun.

[Porter]

Gained 3 games on Texas to push the lead to 15 games.

Batting AVG: .272 (6th)
Homeruns: 106 (9th)
Walks: 323 (19th)
Stolen Bases: 99 (18th)
Runs Scored: 542 (8th)

Pitching ERA: 3.97 (4th)
Opponents AVG: .246 (5th)
HRs Allowed: 117 (24th)
Walks Allowed: 337 (15th)
Runs Allowed: 458 (5th)

The pitching continues to improve but the HRs allowed continue to cause concern despite the sub 4 ERA. Francisco Torre has become an absolute beast this season. Now i have to try and get Santana at a decent number. Bolduc and Hughes are resigned cheaply.

The new and improved New York Mets are going to win the division.

12-4 sim, 4 game lead in the AL East...FLIPPIN SWEET

[NYgiantsfan5689]

The underperformance continues....

[Providence A's]

12-4 sim, 4 game lead in the AL East...FLIPPIN SWEET

I simmed 15 games...not 16

[Halladay_is_God]

finally a gamble paid off

Jim Neidhart has learned to better avoid strikeouts!
Jim Neidhart increased his bat control, resulting in more contact!

contact to 7 and avoid k's to 7, rounding him out to 7-8-9-5-7, still a long road of development though

i love when this happens

[browntown653]

I simmed 15 games...not 16

My mistake, 12-3 sim...even better

2016 looks to be the year of Leif Schauer. Should see a bit of action when rosters expand. He has 44 xbh, 53 RBI, 75 R, 21 SB in 117 GP in AAA... I think he has nothing left to prove at that level.

Sucks that Kinser's once 8 contact talent went down to 6 though....

[Mackus]

Fan interest drops from 84 to 70 in one day, but my farm system went from last to middle of the pack, and should be getting better as I trade off more talent in the offseason (still have my two biggest pieces, Kassidy and Chavira, to deal).

And one of the newly acquired guys, Bixby, took the jump from 4.5P SP to 5.0P SP, so thats nice.

[Saber]

Well, I can build an offense, now I just need the pitching.

[Porter]

I think this would be the right time to say its not going to be a 4 team race for a WS.

Batting AVG: .277 (4th)
Homeruns: 113 (15th)
Walks: 375 (18th)
Stolen Bases: 112 (19th)
Runs Scored: 628 (8th)

Pitching ERA: 3.97 (4th)
Opponents AVG: .248 (3rd)
HRs Allowed: 130 (23rd)
Walks Allowed: 382 (13th)
Runs Allowed: 519 (7th)

4th best record in the ML, 2nd best in the AL. Ill see how it goes with Salty and see if he can add more pop to the lineup. While Rodriguez and Marron hit for a high average their combined 5 HRs and 58 RBIs arent going to cut it. Torre is making a serious case for MVP.

[Doppelgänger]

Haren only out for 4 more days... I just hope I can hold the wild card lead.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Paul Soltys has lost some power...

Seriously? Seriously? Great. this guy was going to be somewhat of a stud. his avoid k's and contact are still intact....for now. but he was showing promising power, and he was almost completely filled out. This sucks.
