2047 Random Rumblings

[Providence A's]

Argh. Renz is dying and he wasn't even injured. I guess 34 is the cut-off before death here.

I guess I can expect Mantle to fall off a cliff in a 3-4 years, too. Well, lesson learned: Don't sign anyone in this league over the age of 32 because they'll completely die in a year or so with or without any injuries.

I think they tend to die around 35 in this league. I'm worried about Walter next year, but I think the pitchers sometimes last a little longer.

I don't think they normally fall off the cliff like Renz though. Yunque still isn't too bad.

[Kingdom]

Well, this season sucks.

[Porter]

+5 on the run differential.

7 games under .500, I dont know what to make of this team.

[Kingdom]

Lombardi does better against lefties and Kuester does better against righties. What a screwy platoon


Enjoy the postseason CHN, Milwaukee, San Diego, and the pathetic NL East winner.

[Trendy Bastard]

The lineup is heating up but the pitching is cooling down. I want to be running on a cylinders come postseason. Assuming I don't blow it with a 9 game lead. Lost five in a row to end the sim, while Toronto won 5 in a row to end the sim.

[schisno]

I wish I had some big bats to help out since the pitching looks to be doing well. Is it just easier to develop pitchers than batters in this game?

[Kingdom]

I wish the draft order was like the NBA draft order and playoff teams picked behind non playoff teams.

Would have won the NL East by a mile, AL Central by a game, and the AL WC by 4 games. Groovy.

[Kingdom]

Lol, 2 third place teams would have won the NL East. And another would have forced a one game playoff.

[Porter]

I can beat Brooklyn. I broke that tiebreaker.

[Providence A's]

Win over 100 and lose to SD in the first round...par for the course in Milwaukee.

[HollywoodLeo]

I guess my penchant for always facing Prov in the playoffs isn't TSSL specific.

[madsheep]

2 conferences. Top 4 in each. Aye

[Trendy Bastard]

2 conferences. Top 4 in each. Aye

I looked into that when I was starting TBL. The game won't allow four playoff teams in two conference play.

[HollywoodLeo]

I don't like it. Divisions keep things more interesting in my opinion. You're not just playing for the world title, you have your division rivals to hash it out with along the way.

I know teams can miss the playoffs while another team with a worse record makes it this way, but that's the case in real life as well and I'm all for realism.
