2034 S3SL Random Ramblings

[Porter]

What are the chances that Cody Overlock even reaches his talent by 27?

5%? 10%? I like the celling, but hes 24 in this league is like drafting Greg Oden.

Round 5
Seattle pick: RF Franklin Vankirk. Signing Bonus: $28,000

I hate you Haf.

And I got nothin' but love for ya, mish.

Hug it out, bitches.

So Far, This has certainly been my easiest year to make the playoffs. 22.5 game lead, I guess its time to coast. C. Mooreman greatest backup ever continues his rampage. 318-18-44-7, 1.138 OPS, not bad for 148 total At Bats.

[Impossibles]

Same old same old, hot/cold sims have the Padres hanging around 500 with no real chance at competing for the division or even the wildcard. What a shame since my offense has had their best year in my reign, now with the 2nd best batting average and 4th most runs in the league. The pitching did improve this sim though. Hopefully there are still some individual awards to be won, Bemudez continues to crush the ball and leads MLB in HR and 2nd in RBI, and my rookie catcher is having a ROY season batting .382.

34-35 on 6/16

[Kingdom]

I believe our veterans for veterans deal worked out nicely. Bemudez and Orsini are 2 and 3 in OPS and Takuma is 8-4

[Trendy Bastard]

This is the worst team I have ever had in any OOTP league. Good thing the future looks bright, though.

I was hoping Jason Martin would step up with the injury to Barrientes, but that wasn't the case. He'll be spending the rest of the season in AAA. Hopefully his power and discipline will develop by next season.

Yep, no complaints from my side. Orsini is back to beast status this year (as he should with those ratings). I can't believe Takuma has such a low ERA, I wonder if the low BABIP is just luck or because of the defense/park changes? Has he had any talent improvements? I'm glad those guys put you in a position to win, I don't think they would have made any difference to me. Grier blew out his ACL though, he was having a nice season until then.

[Kingdom]

If anything I would have expected him to suck more going from petco to pnc. I chalk it up to luck, but I will take it.

[Saber]

Finally getting into a groove.

[OrioleMagic]

Finally getting into a groove.

I've been in one of those for 20+ seasons now... Except I call it a rut.

[Kingdom]

I would look into those OOTP exorcisms.

[Kingdom]

My starting 2B and SS have a combined 1 error. That's special.

[Kingdom]

Fight a brewin' in the NL. 3 team race for the central, 5 team race for wild card. Meanwhile Colorado sits back and channel surfs through porn.

Tuesday 6/24/2034: Ramon Crespo celebrates 300th win
NEW YORK (A) - Baltimore's players had every reason to congratulate Ramon Crespo, who reached a milestone today, winning his 300th game! Ramon Crespo threw 105 pitches in 9 innings, 72 for strikes. He allowed 0 earned runs while striking out 0 and walking 0 earned runs. His career features a 3.76 ERA, along with 3927 K's in 4367 innings. He has won 20 games 4 times in his career, setting a career high with 27 wins in 2030. 'I'm out of words. I'll probably realize it tomorrow, but for now I'm done.' The Hall of Fame is already waiting for this great player.

127 of which with Baltimore in 5 1/2 seasons.. 11 more til the all time lead on the leaderboard... still possible this year

Batting AVG: .293 (4th)
Homeruns: 134 (3rd)
Walks: 275 (22nd)
Stolen Bases: 52 (23rd)
Runs Scored: 508 (9th)

Pitching ERA: 4.75 (12th)
Opponents AVG: .270 (14th)
HRs Allowed: 95 (T-16th)
Walks Allowed: 210 (2nd)
Runs Allowed: 430 (13th)

Offense and pitching continually improving... but still 4 games out in the WC behind either Minny or KC... not good

Cooney is knocking the STUFFING out of the ball... one of the best trades I ever made...

Treadwell is finally coming on... but Tollefson and Eckard are stinking up the joint in the 3rd and 4th spots in the rotation... but I have no other options.. my AAA ace is not ready

Carlos Losoya is having his best year... finally a season where he is living up to ratings

Adrian Asuncion finally doing well has a 25 year old full time outfielder, but Eric Duran may battle for more playing time as his contact keeps climbing
