2015 Random Ramblings

[bjd2933]

Pitching absolutely blows except for Bush and West... and a few relievers. My team sure can knock the cover off the ball though... 40 HR in 31 games.

Hysell is probably going back to the rotation after the AS Break, if Brazelton and Ramirez continue to be completely worthless. Luckily they are only signed to 1 year deals.

At least my attendance is way up...

another loser sim for boston

as for development
29 year old SP Wenceslao Santacruz improved his talent to ace like ability

Wenceslao Santacruz seems to have improved his pure stuff!
Wenceslao Santacruz's pitches have more bite now, the movement has improved!
Wenceslao Santacruz is hitting his spots better, his command improved!

he's now 9-10-8 in talent to his 7-8-8 ratings, not giving him a good chance to reach it but if he did that would be sweet

Jake Peavy was injured when he was hit by a line drive.
Diagnosis: Blurred Vision Eye.
He is out for about 3 weeks.

WTF

[Halladay_is_God]

blame Texas and W.

[HollywoodLeo]

At least I can take comfort in knowing David Wilk, Jose Munoz, and Kevin Krout are the shit.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

blame Texas and W.

I blame A-Rod

Wild sim for Tampa Bay...first off we go 8-4 to improve to 25-18, so we're one of the 6 teams separated by 5 games in the enormous cluster**** that is the AL.

Bad news:

Dan Uggla seems to have lost some bat speed, resulting in less contact...
Dan Uggla plate discipline seems to have faded...

There goes that Cinderella story...looks like Scott Borras better be ready to play full-time. Speaking of Borras, who was pressed into the #3 spot after Ryan Zimmerman got hurt - he's now hitting .367 after a ridiculous sim.

Speaking of Zimmerman:
The American League Batter of the Month award goes to Ryan Zimmerman, Tampa Bay's starting third baseman. Zimmerman helped his team with an average of .333 and 22 RBI in 105 at bats.
The reigning AL MVP keeping up his stellar play

Andrew Miller sets a new single game Team-Record for Strikeouts with 16!
Andrew Miller strikes out 16 against Oakland.

3/4 of the rotation is filthy...Miller is 6-2, 3.24, 1.08 in typical Andrew Miller fashion. Raymond Pfarr the 5 END wonder is 6-2, 3.20, 1.12 WHIP and rewarding my faith in starting a 5 END guy (thanks bullpen). Brenton Bachelder is having an absurd season...he's first in OAVG and BABIP by a ton...his OAVG is .157!!!!!!!!!!! He's first in strikeouts with 73...and walks with 47. Bachelder's given up 36 hits in 67.1 IP and has walked 47. Just bizarre. Rough first sim for Austin Booker though...Peavy will be nice to have back in the fold.

And finally...
William Tardif seems to have improved his pure stuff!
William Tardif's pitches have more bite now, the movement has improved!

11th rounder now a 10-6-9 RP prospect. I love it

[HollywoodLeo]

Wow, I had a winning sim. 7-5!

[HollywoodLeo]

I might have the worst bullpen in the history of OOTP

[Providence A's]

Andrew Miller sets a new single game Team-Record for Strikeouts with 16!
Andrew Miller strikes out 16 against Oakland.

Interesting, Knipp struck out 16 against Cincinnati for me this sim, too...unfortunately, my team record is 19 by Steve Carlton.

Boston went 3-7 in the last 10

Batting AVG: .254 (20th)
Homeruns: 44 (11th)
Walks: 202 (1st)
Stolen Bases: 18 (30th)
Runs Scored: 227 (T-11th)

Pitching ERA: 5.62 (28th)
Opponents AVG: .286 (27th)
HRs Allowed: 57 (28th)
Walks Allowed: 151 (T-18th)
Runs Allowed: 269 (28th)

walks are unexpected but Johnson and Cintron lead the AL in walks

Rotation blows but Wenceslao Santacruz improved his ratings to 8-9-8 and Ben Sheets has the most wins with 4

my bullpen is doing pretty good right now with the exception of Todd Erdman and Neal Cotts

nothing new for prospects

[bjd2933]

Not loving this season pitching wise... but I love my draft, so here's to the future!

[Porter]

Moved into 1st place, 3 games up on Texas

Offense continues to own from top to bottom. Pitching is starting to come together.

James Bolduc is finally make me look respectable for dealing Francis Morris. Only took 3 years.

Santana is making a mini run at Cy, Torre is becoming a beast.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

so much for Toronto being a sleeper. the pitching is absolutely shitting the bed. o well.

[browntown653]

What the **** was that??
