2018 Random Rumblings thread

[Porter]

Lobstein improved to a 10-9-10. Score.

Now just resign Triunfel and Marmol.

Thanks, Nick.

Leo Stringfield OUT full season 0 days Compound Fracture of Leg
Ferdinand Benedicto OUT full season 0 days Compound Fracture of Ankle

Don't thank me, thank whoever invented the compound fracture.

I think the better idea is to just trade them.


To me.

Sure just send over Ynoa, Harper and give me Olsen back.

Hi Chief,
I think my time is running out. This will be
my last season as a professional ballplayer.

Sincerely,

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

Regards,
Santiago Casilla


and no, I don't mean Santiago Casilla. Though he was one of the top closers for a few years (2007 - 2012) RIP boys.

[HollywoodLeo]

Not a bad first sim.

The batting average can be much better, though.

6-7 Sim. No thanks to the offense at all. And hey Adam Jones becomes the next person to be knocked out for 6 weeks. It can only go up from here lol.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Damn Nick, you really messed with my head changing Anthony Wolters to "Tony" haha. I was like who the hell is tha.......ooooooohhhh

Another wonderful offensive production by the Colorado in one of the hardest places to hit in the majors

/sarcasm

[nick]

Haha... yeah I changed a few names and gave out some nicknames too. I know Wolters goes by Tony in real life, or that's what he's listed as on most draft scouting sites...

Dear Sir,
The time has come. I'll leave the show after this year.
I guess I will have to make room for the young players.

"Limp arm" works well too

[OrioleMagic]

Danial Camarena: Injured on 4/5/2018 with a Glaucoma, out for full season...

WTF!?!?!

[Kingdom]

He's out with a glaucoma, nice.

[OrioleMagic]

Not nice bro, I had mediocre pitching specs to begin with and 7-7-10 turns into 5-6-10 over glaucoma in a guy in his 20's. The developers have a morbid sense of humor.
