2018 Random Rumblings

[Foster]

Since you have 5 of my former pitchers, want s'more?

Only if they are cheap.

[Porter]

Batting AVG: .279 (5th)
Homeruns: 137 (11th)
Walks: 419 (24th)
Stolen Bases: 144 (13th)
Runs Scored: 738 (9th)

Pitching ERA: 4.84 (12th)
Opponents AVG: .275 (17th)
HRs Allowed: 119 (12th)
Walks Allowed: 460 (12th)
Runs Allowed: 694 (10th)

The Team ERA is finally under 5 for the 1st time this season. Freitas leads the team in wins with 12 (10-3 since May 1st). 2 back for wild card. Brandon Jones picked the wrong time to get hurt and will be tough to replace.

Well, I should wrap up the division within a week. I didn't even break a sweat this season, doesn't bode well for the playoffs.

On the bright side, that SS Minnesota cut boosted for me.

Hell you're 13 up for homefield advantage. So you will have the AL done by the next game.

[Kingdom]

Uh, yeah, 1 doesn't = 3

[Porter]

Uh, yeah, 1 doesn't = 3

Right now, does it even matter than you need 3 wins at all?

[Kingdom]

To prove my point that your team sucks, yeah.

[Porter]

To prove my point that your team sucks, yeah.

Yet I'm still 2 games back of the WC. whats that say for the other 14 teams with a worse record than mine.

Edit: Cleveland is 5 games over .500 despite a minus 52 run differential. At least I score more runs than allowed. (9th in RS, 10th in RA)

[Porter]

And being -5 is not helping matters at all either. So in retrospect they are underacheivers.

There is no way this team wins a playoff series.

[Foster]

I feel like I am in a Casper movie with all these ghost's coming for my WC spot.

[Kingdom]

Was there any real doubt the cardinals wouldn't own?


Hey PA, do you know why Washington played so much? I checked my injury report and Halifax was never hurt. Not that it mattered, Washington did very well, even had a 5 hit game.

not sure...I just hit auto depth charts like you asked. I didn't check to see what it did. perhaps the game decided he should play a high percent?

and as far as my team...I tried to trade guys man. I traded a lot of guys. I know I kept some really good guys, but I honestly don't think I would have gotten any good offers for them. A lot of the guys I did trade didn't get many offers and in some cases I took less just to move them. I only got 2 offers for SP 5.0 spec Boatman, too (Florida and Oakland)...wait, Cincinnati made an offer, but it wasn't anything that I was too interested in doing. Only Porter inquired about MR 5.0 spec Nod, but he admitted he really didn't have much.

So what am I supposed to do, you know? I'll probably tank the playoffs by picking a crappy rotation, but short of cutting people I'm not too sure what to do about the talent I have. I've been really lucky with develop and gains, too. Jesse and Nod boosted the crap out of each other as examples. Christ, my number 5 starter is 8 - 1 with an ERA over 5 lol. Part of the problem is that many of the NL teams aren't the great either.

Pittsburgh would be really great if they had a pen and someone running them. I'm going to have to find a new owner for them as Witlon hasn't done anything in over 2 seasons and doesn't reply to my PMs.

[Mackus]

Why would you purposely tank the playoffs?

The fun is in trying to go after a monster team and take them down. Theres no fun in winning if its because you are purposely tanking a playoff series.

I don't think you need to apologize for having a money team.

yea...I just want to see others win and feel bad a little. I always feels a little awkward about having a team in the league I run. It just seems like a conflict of interest, you know? I want to win, but I want other people to win and for everyone to have fun.

I'm probably going to play Leo again so maybe I'll be the crap out of him again and then "tank"
