2028 S3SL Random Ramblings

Finally, a good first sim.

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

Sincerely,
Gabriel Moreno"

Fairwell good sir.

24 from 500. He's going to cut it close, that'll suck if he retires and he's like 2-3 away.

[Dam8610]

I kind of wish I hadn't traded Azevedo now, he's going to hit #800 and retire as a Marlin. Only Azevedo could hit .229 and have an OPS over 1.000. At least I got a couple of contributing pieces out of it.

[browntown653]

#1 in the power rankings? That's a first.

Paul Galena passed Rickey Henderson for all-time steals with a new record of 1407 and counting.

Somewhere Fishercat is smiling and Rickey is talking in the third person, but not likely together.

Galeana also made another milestone and looking for a 2nd one

1500 career Runs (25th all-time with 1515 currently)

and is 25 hits away from 2500 career which would put him 25th all-time

Offensively challenged. Wonderful.

Saber is holding Raymond Solomon's prized Winnie the Pooh collection hostage, Isidoro Romero cannot stand having another talented catcher around, and Javier Barbosa is having a Manny moment. And we must have some amazing lefties in the league.

This is a weird season...I'm 7th in runs allowed with a 4.56 team ERA. WTF.

[Doppelgänger]

I don't think I have seen a team suck soo bad.

[General]

When Vladdy retires, he will do so as the all time postseason hits, runs, walks, and total bases leader (using current stats, not the ones in 202whatever).

[Slyder]

When Vladdy retires, he will do so as the all time postseason hits, runs, walks, and total bases leader (using current stats, not the ones in 202whatever).

Morabito could pass him in hits and a real outside shot (Arizona would probably have to pay an insane # of games and Morabito be on fire) at Runs and RBI.

I remember having vile evil thoughts about Morabito and Vlad in the same outfield had I not "tried to compete" that year before and drafted too low.

[Kingdom]

You have way too much time on your hands if you went around and figured up all of that.

Batting AVG: .255 (26th)
Homeruns: 54 (1st)
Walks: 87 (20th)
Stolen Bases: 16 (21st)
Runs Scored: 155 (14th)

Pitching ERA: 3.85 (3rd)
Opponents AVG: .261 (11th)
HRs Allowed: 24 (T-6th)
Walks Allowed: 65 (1st)
Runs Allowed: 113 (3rd)

The pitching is doing really great right now. Hardy coming back this sim should be interesting. Ward will move back to 2B and will continue to lead off for now. If they keep this route I think we will be fine. Amazingly standing pat worked out for this team.

[Slyder]

A renewed rotation gets its first chance to do better and carry the weakness of this team.

Batting AVG: .297 (3rd)
Homeruns: 27 (17th)
Walks: 91 (17th)
Stolen Bases: 25 (18th)
Runs Scored: 161 (T-8th)

Pitching ERA: 4.97 (13th)
Opponents AVG: .267 (15th)
HRs Allowed: 23 (4th)
Walks Allowed: 82 (7th)
Runs Allowed: 141 (T-12th)

Yes 13th is a weakness for me this year .
