2009 Random Rumblings

[Providence A's]

Mediocre sim, a game up on Prov and two on Maui, but hopefully my Pyth will even out in the end...or theirs will

at least I'm + here instead of -9000 like in SBSL...Gehrig division is terrible; none of them deserve to be in the playoffs at this point.

what's the significance of the pyth record? how is it figured?

Nothing, really.

It's just some crazy equation that's meant to attempt to determine what your record should be based on player performances and removing luck and other factors beyond their control.

Gherig and Musial divisions both suck.

Wow...now I remember why I didn't take math my senior year.

[Porter]

Vancouver sucks.

We have a horrible bullpen and the worst contact hitting lineup ever. But we will smash a lot of homeruns when we do get hits.

[Providence A's]

lots of positive player development, but...

Friday 6/9/2009 :
Vida Blue has lost some movement on his pitches...

c'mon now...his movement was completely filled out, he's 21, and he didn't get injured. If it was his control, cool...that's 2 points off his talent, but really...ootp truly is random

Sunday 6/4/2009 :
George Kottaras has learned to better avoid strikeouts!
George Kottaras increased his bat control, resulting in more contact!
George Kottaras has improved his plate disclipine!

hopefully, he comes close to reaching it.

4 games behind thin sliced pork chop...just stay close and make a run boys.

**** Markus Heinsohn and **** OOTP.

::looks forward to 2017 starting in TSSL::

[Providence A's]

wow...Zito, toast for his career. I guess a 1 point talent loss in movement isn't that bad

[Doppelgänger]

Offense went from forth to fourteenth. I think I scored about 5 runs the whole sim. Also, how come every sim Guidry gets an extra 14 days on his injury? Its like clockwork.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

A 6-4 sim. Still above .500, which is better than I expected, and the prospect development is going wonderfully, which is really all I care about this season. Bartz is now MLB ready (yess!), but I will trade Verlander or McGowan before calling him up as to not rush him.

John Yataro, one of the free agent MLC's I signed last year has blasted into the reliever scene by taking his game to the next level. You will see him in action next sim.

[Izzy]

3-7, ehh... I demand a re-sim since someone forgot to sign a free agent I wanted.

:-(

[daniducci]

9-1 sim as the Moks reestablish their "dominance" in the Musial division (which actually has a team over .500 now). Turns out, my official "Suck Less" policy I implemented in the Gachpar clubhouse has had a huge positive effect on this team. I really know how to inspire the troops. Maybe I'll reward them with a brief shore leave before the next sim.

[Halladay_is_God]

3 wins yay

[Bon Bon]

Last Sim was average at 5-5, but sweeping Dallas was sweet and actaully put me only 1 game behind the division lead. I still have the same exact issues that I have had all season long. CF production has been a huge disappointment with Pereria not quite ready for prime time and Mitch Maier not hitting after being called up. Jeff Francouer and Kevin Gregg continue to suck and are wondering why there playing time has diminished or become less of a value. They are sucking and demanding a trade. I would love to trade them if anyone would take them. So I am attempting strategy number 2 on this SIM and see what happens.
