2016 Random Rumblings Thread!

Pitching held up over the sim despite losing Carlton Daniels for a few weeks. It'll be nice when we get him back even though Robicheaux has been solid outside of one really bad start.

Brett Cecil, rotation next sim.

[nick]

[Kingdom]

Fine, fine.. I'll start Shitzawa.

My development is going great.

In the majors:
Vern Wood (26 yrs) - .355 avg, .411 OBP, .846 OPS
Aaron Figuerdo (22 yrs) - ..353 avg, .443 OBP, .871 OPS
Tim Taylor (25 yrs) - 10 HR, .286 avg, .831 OPS
Kareem Said in his first sim in the majors (25 yrs) - .316 avg, ..350 OBP, .824 OPS
Ironel Paez (25 yrs), in his first sim in the majors, despite going winless in 3 starts, put up 2 good starts. One was a quality start, and one was one out from a quality start.
CJ Henry is showing SOME resemblence of a power with 10 homers so far and a .764 OPS

In the minors:
Cameron Garfield will be in the majors in a few more sims
MR Dan Child is 8-6-9 out of 10-7-9, will be in the majors in a few more sims
Fabien Herreros will start next year in the majors in order to give him a shot at ROY (maybe I'll bring him up the last few sims, he needs to gain some more power though)

A few guys like Anthony Wolters and Ray Mukada need to pick things up, but overall I'm really happy. This team is going to be good in 2 years.

[General]

Some dudes picking it up, others are putting it down. It'd be nice to have the team perform consistently as now Bailey, the stalwart of the early season, is doing his Jenna Jameson impression.


As it is, happy with the way the last sim went as I hopped into a tie for 1st.

The current AL WC is in Seattle. Its about god damn ****ing time this team has shown some signs of life. Keep winning.

I think we broke Grant Balfour Jr. for a while. 42-5 vs. Detroit. Safe to say his ERAs going to be quite high this season.

However this also skews my runs scored stat, since that was almost 1/6 of my total so far. But pitching has been outstanding, though I lost Wheeler for the next month. While I put in a replacement, Ill just have to try shuffling around the order a bit.

[Porter]

Holy ****ing hell Shadow. That was an ego breaking outing.

[nick]

Wow... what is it with Cleveland and these weird games? Ammons had one a few years ago for you too, Shadow. And it was against Detroit too now that I recall... Dave could probably confirm.

Stop glitching my league!!!!!! (god I love this smilie)

Hicks and Daniels lost talent. Always pumped to see two of your 26 and under MLB ready starters drop down a notch, keeps them humble.

Stanton ripped the cover off the ball though, winning NL Player of the Month. He had more than 3x the XBH he had in April and 2x the hits.
