Monday 9/1/2020: Player of the Week honors go to Ikki and Barco
The AL Player of the Week award goes to Tsuguhiko Ikki, Texas' starting centerfielder. Tsuguhiko went 12 for 23 (.522), while hitting 3 HR and collecting 12 RBI.

Well at least I have a few players who can hit.

You sir are the lucky one. My entire team blows. This offseason I am going to release 1/2 of my mlb and minor leaguers and do a complete team rebuild. I will NEVER take on old vets again.

If you are unappreciative that Davidson has gone from a castoff from my team to your best starting pitcher, I wouldn't mind having him back.

San Francisco's problem is that they have no one with an OPS over .760




And they're last or next to last in the major offensive categories.

They're partying in Detroit. For the first time in the league's history, Detroit celebrates an AL Central division championship, an all time S3SL DET Won-Loss record and a playoff birth, also a DET S3SL first. 4 away from 100 wins, a personal goal.

Batting AVG: .285 (7th)
Homeruns: 164 (8th)
Walks: 506 (15th)
Stolen Bases: 115 (19th)
Runs Scored: 847 (8th)

Pitching ERA: 3.88 (3rd)
Opponents AVG: .260 (7th)
HRs Allowed: 66 (1st)
Walks Allowed: 422 (4th)
Runs Allowed: 629 (T-3rd)

This pitching staff is throwing on all cylinders. I'm extremely pleased with it.

12-2 in the last sim, 96-54 overall, 15.5 games ahead of second place. Tied for the best record in the AL.

Is there anyone in the AL more deserving of the Rookie of the Year than Fede Carrion?
.295 with 29 HR and 94 RBI

Sunday 9/14/2020: Detroit's Gregory Hannum gets milestone hit
KANSAS CITY - Detroit's players had every reason to congratulate Gregory Hannum, who reached a milestone today, collecting his 2000th career hit! His best year so far was 2010 where he hit .342 with 49 homeruns and 156 RBI. 'You dream about that as a kid, but when you reach such a milestone it's hard to believe. Fantastic.' He hit a two run homerun in the 5th off Raul Sanchez for number 2000.

Monday 9/8/2020: Player of the Week honors go to Hannum
The Player of the Week award in the AL goes to Detroit's Gregory Hannum this time, as the second baseman displayed the best offensive perfomance in his league. He had an on base percentage of .600 and hit .474, while driving in 6 runs.

He's almost hitting .400 this month. He picked the right time to turn it back on after whats been a subpar season so far for him.

Condolences to realmofotalk, for the loss of Rivera. He was good for me in Pittsburgh, and beat me a few times this year.

Nick Coyle is almost fully back to his dominant days in Toronto. Pretty exciting there. I'll be fielding a new lineup order for the playoffs, with the development of him and Hannum hitting, and Mr. Reyes dying a bit.

Overall a successful sim, and a successful season.

Coyle had something called Discipline in Toronto, turned into the Vince Carter of Baseball over an injury. Plus he's no near his best season a Blue Jay

[HafDawg2003]

Hater. lol

He gained his contact back, and the power is coming back. My point is, he isn't broken down like he was at the end in TOR.

Bob Saget puts his pants on one leg at a time like the rest of the pitchers in this league... but when his pants are on, he wins ballgames.

[mntwinsfan]

As bad as my team is I somehow swept the Dodgers! Seems like my club makes an effort only when there playing a top team. Maybe things get better next season.

[General]

Tim Lachance was named Player of the Week!
He batted .609 in 23 AB, with 3 HR and 14 RBI.

[bjd2933]

Adding to that, its hard to be disappointed with this season. My menacing lineup will be back next season... My pitching will be better. Getting Greaney back was the best trade I could have made. Davila had a nice first full season. Boyter was a nice find in the bullpen. Wimbley found his niche in the pen. If Marceau's power develops into that 10... he will be a monster. James Johnson is a run scoring machine. 10 More hits for 1000 career for Justin Todd... I'm actually disappointed in Fortuna, I was expecting a better season, and he actually took a decline. Maybe next year...

HUGE NEWS!!!!
Wednesday 9/3/2020: Mickey Ouimet has 2000th career hits
CHICAGO (A) - Toronto's designated hitter Mickey Ouimet joined some elite company today, collecting his 2000th career hit! In 12 years of big league action so far, Mickey has compiled a batting average of .280, along with 413 homeruns and 1322 RBI. 'Good things happen when you put the bat on the ball.' His hit in the 5th inning was a single off Steffen McGee.

I bold Toronto for one reason, he's a one team man and will retire as one, so stick it Hannum!


Vaughn Hooley is currently on pace for 35 HR and 101 RBI

Development news
Bryon Countryman increases his Overall Stuff from 9 to 10 .
I'll need him at top form next season
Vaughn Hooley increases his Contact vs Righties from 5 to 6 .
waiting the rest of his power to come through. 3.0 stars now!!!

I refuse to let Coyle live happily

[HafDawg2003]

Coyle > Fajardo
Hannum > Ouimet
AL Central Champs > 4th place in AL East

I'm just giving you shit. Stupid Fajardo had to crap out for the year...

[Halladay_is_God]

yes Coyle deserves to die

Fajardo is a cursed name in Toronto.

[HafDawg2003]

Doesn't look like he lost any talent though.
