2008 Random Rumblings

[DiamondDave]

Detroit starts off 10-2... Suprisingly, in spite of talent drops, pitching is doing well... very well... offense is producing, as expected....

Batting AVG: .284 (2nd)
Homeruns: 13 (14th)
Walks: 44 (T-8th)
Stolen Bases: 10 (21st)
Runs Scored: 74 (T-5th)

Pitching ERA: 3.22 (5th)
Opponents AVG: .243 (9th)

[Porter]

Batting AVG: .246 (19th)
Homeruns: 19 (5th)
Walks: 48 (6th)
Stolen Bases: 18 (6th)
Runs Scored: 77 (4th)

Walks Allowed: 48 (T-25th)
Runs Allowed: 72 (T-25th)

For god's sakes can my bullpen pitch worth something?

[Shadow29]

Pitt start the season pretty much the same as last. Solid 8-4, but the CUbs have erupted outta the gate. Tough to keep up with that....for now.

[Slyder]

4-9 everyone not named Burgos sucked or not pitch enough to mattered in the rotation. And everyone not named LeCroy sucked from the batters box.

Probably going to open shop some guys and see types of offers to get an idea of what sort of value to expect.

[browntown653]

Solid sim for the Brew Crew at 9-5.

Pitching ERA: 3.37 (7th)
I could certainly live with that.

Capuano 1-0 2.61, Davis 2-1 1.74, Sheets 1-2 3.26
Floyd off to a great start at .318-4-10-1.150
Fielder off to a horrendous start at .137-2-7-.469. Weeks and Barrett have also done nicely at .353 and .381 respectively. Tough division with Chicago 12-3 and Pittsburgh 8-4 though.

Dear Sir,
I think it is time to leave the show. This will
probably be my last year. Just wanted to let you know!

That's nothing. Jon Lieber and his 10.13 ERA is leaving you as well.

Players should be able to un-retire in this game.

Best get him out of the closer role now then..... I smell a decline

the starters pitched like shit, only some of the hitters actually showed up, I'm completely surprised I won the games.

[Providence A's]

damn...I forgot to do my minor league lineups and rotations

9 - 5 to start the season.

My pitching is doing well, but the hitting is off to a slow start.

Yeah, those 9-10-9 guys are death sentences.

Until that decline comes, rivera is my closer. I did load up for next year though by signing nathan.

[browntown653]

Decline? Look at the man's career numbers.

[bjd2933]

Decline? Look at the man's career numbers.

exactly... plus he actually jumped from 4.5 to 5.0 stars this season... So I don't see him completely dying.

[OrioleMagic]

Colorado: 2-11... I hope this is an anomaly...
