2018 Random Rumblings

[cjkalt]

I'm beating Prov........for best minor league system!!!

[Shadow29]

Clifford "Brownie" McNear has made his MLB debut, and Josh Sharpless is my closer. This seasons going to be fun.

[Kingdom]

Browntown's on a team?

[ljshorty89]

Well, a 3-12 start is about what I expected, lol

[browntown653]

Brownie!!!!!!!!!! I thought he suffered a big talent loss and was dead

[Providence A's]

first sim yes, but you've given up like -3 runs on the year, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE BABY

hey, we got to beat up on the Reds for 4 games to start the season...what do you want me to say? And I only got an offer for Boatman from 1 team I'm not going to just cut people and I'm not going to apologize for winning. I tried to trade people away that last few seasons while keeping some guys.

had to make a few changes since you missed the deadline and your team needed it. hope that was OK.

He's not what he was, but he's still a servicable OF. Probably the Sucessor to Bourn or Harmen in the near future.

[Doppelgänger]

Well, that didn't last long. 110 runs one sim, 45 the next. Quintanilla actually made some strides, and may now actually be a long term solution. If he could just get one more contact boost...

[Providence A's]

there we go...a nice 7 - 8 sim. I'm still looking to move some guys though. Darley lost a contact point in talent, but he's still a beast and not too far off from being ready.

[realmofotalk]

Just when I thought I had a shot at winning, another team with a crappy pyth record claims the lead.

[Porter]

Are you sure the injuries are set to low?

Im running out of ML guys to keep healthy.

[Providence A's]

yes, I'm quite sure...it's been that way for a few seasons now.

Batting AVG: .283 (2nd)
Homeruns: 26 (19th)
Walks: 91 (22nd)
Stolen Bases: 32 (16th)
Runs Scored: 176 (2nd)

Pitching ERA: 5.41 (22nd)
Opponents AVG: .283 (23rd)
HRs Allowed: 35 (21st)
Walks Allowed: 98 (T-8th)
Runs Allowed: 181 (24th)

It still baffles me that a 9-10-8 and a 9-7-9 pitcher are pitching worse than my grandma but its still early. If the pitching wakes up I'll be in good shape the way the offense is going. But on to the good news.

Jason Cruys increased his bat control, resulting in more contact!
Jason Cruys has gained more power!
Jason Cruys has improved his plate disclipine!

The 8th round pick from 2017 continues the late round development tradition. Could turn out to be a decent 1B/DH in a year or two.

[Mackus]

Somehow I'm 5th in runs allowed but 10th in ERA. Is everybody else playing making a ton of errors leading to a lot of unearned runs that I'm not giving up?

Gotta like my team's start to the season at 16-14. BP has even been slightly better than expected, although still not good.
