2028 S3SL Random Ramblings

[missionhockey21]

We're less than two weeks from the trade deadline and John Magner has a .504 OBP.

[General]

My team's piss poor ERA is directly attributable to my lack of involvement as GM. The past 2 weeks have been awful, but now I'm done with midterms and can focus on the important things...like winning more than 45 games.

[realmofotalk]

Dry was taking over the mess griff left for him if I do recall correctly.

It was griff's mediocrity, exacerbated by perf's trade for Joe Torres in a now or never playoff run.

[Saber]

Ah, Joe Torres. That takes me back.

LA's Buckaroo Banzai is a modern day Babe Ruth, sans the womanizing and life of excess. In 2027 he made the ASG as a starting pitcher and the following year he makes it as a shortstop. The best English baseball player in the league (he must have been confused and thought he was playing cricket.)

[Kingdom]

I believe the Mustache enjoys playing Cincinnati. He had 6 homeruns against them last sim. At some point, you just have to pitch around him, eh?

[Kingdom]

I remember KC had that reliever on pace for 300-400 innings.

Robert Bowers ftw

[Slyder]

Im back... yes Im back, well im Back, Yes IM Back...well Im BAAAAAA AA CK, Yes Im back in black. 8-4 sim back to even with Tampa for Wild Card. Pitching coming together, maybe 1 or 2 more moves. Jacob Dexter is trying his darndest to prove he deserves another shot this year. He's been absolutely leathal and up to 5 10 8 in talents since his demotion. Might see him back in September and maybe longer. Jonnie Maselli continues to defy odds. 6th in the AL in WHIP and 4th in OAve. you would think would lead to a great ERA... not for Maselli at 4.34.

Batting AVG: .296 (2nd)
Homeruns: 78 (27th)
Walks: 351 (T-12th)
Stolen Bases: 99 (12th)
Runs Scored: 542 (T-11th)

Pitching ERA: 4.79 (13th)
Opponents AVG: .249 (3rd)
HRs Allowed: 80 (6th)
Walks Allowed: 300 (8th)
Runs Allowed: 478 (13th) Need to figure a way to stop allowing runs. We seem to do a good job everywhere else.

Jon St. John continues to improve, I want to wait a bit ilonger before giving him a call. Will most certainly at least be a september callup maybe sooner just depending on circumstances. Has received at least a 1 point boost to something each sim this year, sometimes more.

[Porter]

Leave it to OOTP to take out Saunders for a month.

But Carl Holmes the injury prone catcher has played in 502 straight games.

[browntown653]

Damn, this is a good year.

[Kingdom]

I like Soto already.

[Slyder]

Can anyone please explain top 6 in WHIP, OAverage, and BABIP results in an ERA of almost 5! If you can figure out something Im all ears.

Some of the pen guys better pick it up or else they might find themselves jobless with Jacob Dexter bumping someone for good. He's been absolutely FILTHY at AAA and at 5, 10,8 he is very tempting to call up. New trade block just looking for decent LHH for the bench.

[Kingdom]

You only have four pitchers with an ERA under 4

[albbla2000mu]

My 5.0 MR spec loses talent 2 months after the draft...at least it took 2 months instead of the standard 2 weeks it usually takes. At least I got my first 10-10-10 talent pitcher...major jinx ...Wallace "Maddam" Hussein, Starting Pitcher

and....
Hit first career homerun on 6/24/2026, off Babe Ruth, III (SD)...
