I think I'll call it the Philly Phenomenon. Unexplained suckitude. I am not asking to be a contender, but this is too much. A guy w/ 9 contact hitting .198 for the month of April. A veteran Ace with a 7+ ERA. I am guessing some voodoo shit or something like that.



(LOL, I feel like the gambler in Vegas who has horrible luck)

And cue Guiterrez's "I'm using God-mode for a few weeks". Shockingly, my offense wouldn't be bad at all if Lor and BarboZa weren't taking the season off.

Anyone want to loan me a 2B or LF?

[Porter]

Mark Como or Nick Dreyer?

[Kingdom]

I prefer the young one.

[Porter]

I figured. If you have a young pitcher. Ill consider it.

Suddenly the pitching is doing good and we still can't hit... exactly the opposite of normal for this team

But back in second behind the hot Yankees

Mediocrity, here we come! No player development whatsoever (all losses)...the only positive so far was during the off-season.

Monday 4/21/2033 :
Enrique Olivo was named Player of the Week!
He batted .400 in 25 AB, with 6 HR and 10 RBI. (including a 3-homer game against Houston).

[Impossibles]

San Diego's offense has been surprisingly good, but the pitching has been gawd-awful. I'm expecting things to normalize next sim.

The Philly Curse strikes again. Zubiri and Jones take two digit talent hits. UGH.... Come trade with Philly!

[redsfan28]

.5 games out with my prized free agent acquisition sucking it up. Not too bad.

[Providence A's]

The only good news this sim:

Wednesday 5/7/2033 :
Wyatt Speth pitches a 5-hit shutout against Cincinnati!!
Sunday 5/11/2033 :
Wyatt Speth pitches a 1-hit shutout against Milwaukee!!
Monday 5/12/2033 :
Wyatt Speth was named Player of the Week!
He won 2 games, with 2 shutouts, pitched 18 innings
with an ERA of 0.00, fanning 17.

He's already 4 - 0 this month with an ERA of 0.84, 14 hits, 7 walks, and 25 k's in 32 innings.

Shit yeah, it's been a couple of decades, but Hammer's back!

The Philly Curse strikes again. Zubiri and Jones take two digit talent hits. UGH.... Come trade with Philly!

Have a lead off man I can borrow?

[Porter]

Maybe I should try and lose more often...

The pitching has no business being in the upper tier of anything.
