    Jason Heyward came into this season with 100 career HR and 412 RBI over 5 seasons. Right now, he's on pace for 95 HR and 176 RBI. Talk about overachieving.

    Monday 5/1/2018: Pitcher of the Month award winners announced
    Winner of this months American League Pitcher of the Month award is Oakland's Jon Asahina. He went 5-0 in April and finished the month with an ERA of 1.02. He struck out 13 in 35.1 innings. Jon pitched a shutout as well.

    Monday 5/1/2018: Oakland's Pujols earns Batter of the Month award
    It's the 11th time that the American League Batter of the Month award goes to Oakland's designated hitter Albert Pujols. Pujols helped his team with an average of .448 and 25 RBI in 96 at bats.

    Batting AVG: .274 (4th)
    Homeruns: 32 (5th)
    Walks: 78 (T-3rd)
    Stolen Bases: 31 (6th)
    Runs Scored: 138 (3rd)

    Pitching ERA: 4.06 (15th)
    Opponents AVG: .270 (25th)
    HRs Allowed: 24 (T-15th)
    Walks Allowed: 53 (6th)
    Runs Allowed: 103 (10th)

    7 - 5 sim. Roe got hurt for 1-2 weeks and is out for 4 more days. Olsen showed he doesn't belong in the rotation anymore. Asahina keeps delivering for me. I think that may go down as one of my best trades ever.

    I won 2 freakin' games. 2.
    But if you look at the pitching staff it is to be expected.

    Without looking answer this question.

    Kansas City has 2 competant starting pitchers name them...

    If one of the answers was Ryan O' Reily youre wrong. If I can figure out how to get him going I might have something with Schlosser and Walden.

    Offense is still going fairly well need to crack a couple pitchers skulls.

    Re: 2018 Random Rumblings thread

    I could probably acquire a 10-10-10-10 pitcher with 100% Ground ball percentage, 100+ mph velocity, who has 5 pitches, is GREAT in the clutch and GREAT consistency and he'd put up a 5+ ERA for my team.

    (Gorzellanny is doing well, though)

    Speaking of 10-10-10 pitchers, my staff has 2 of them and it's doing fairly well, although Turner got bombed last sim.

    Offence needs to pick it up. I really think this can be my year if it does.

    My 10-10-10 pitcher got killed in his first three starts. Allowed 5 in each, but has bounced back allowing 1 in each of his last four starts. His stats are really weird.

    Better SIM.. back up to 2nd in the central...

    Batting AVG: .254 (10th)
    Homeruns: 25 (12th)
    Walks: 66 (T-13th)
    Stolen Bases: 41 (4th)
    Runs Scored: 115 (T-10th)

    Pitching ERA: 3.11 (5th)
    Opponents AVG: .227 (6th)
    HRs Allowed: 21 (12th)
    Walks Allowed: 78 (25th)
    Runs Allowed: 87 (5th)

    Tiffany was off to a horrible start in the rotation, but complete game 4 hitter helped a little... 5+ ERA with a 1.09 WHIP is a bit weird though

    10th in the league in ERA isn't that horrible though. I know it's only about 20+ games in, but your team ERA is about 3.95 right now I think which is pretty good. The kicker is it's still early and everyone's stats are better or worse than they'll wind up in a few more sims, so it's kinda skewed, but still.

    I also think it's time you should give Kyle Allen another shot at the rotation. I think I once told you or made a post implying he should be in the pen, but at this point... he's filled out completely and his END is still 7, so he could make it through a game as a starter I think. 10-6-10 is awkward for SPs, but they can survive with a 6 control if they have 10's on each side and everywhere else.

    Blanton's last start was excellent, but if he doesn't turn it around... maybe bump him to the pen for Allen.

    And shit, Gorzelanny has gone 9 innings 4 times this year..

    He's already more than half-way to his loss total last year.

    Blanton was much better as a reliever.

    David Price's Cy Young season derailed with a broken skull.

    I wish Jake Turner would stop sucking balls.

    I never thought in a million years that a 3.97 ERA would be 17th and a .249 BA would be 14th.
