[Kingdom]

Last in homeruns, next to last in runs. YAY!
Suppose that'll happen when Jose Reyes is your cleanup hitter.

watch out world Josh Hamilton woke up
hit 6 HR this sim, hit a HR in 4 straight games.

other parts of the offense woke up too but the team only went 4-6 this sim

oh god my ace of the ace Yovani Gallardo is 2-8

A 4.11 ERA is first?...this league is ****ed up

Yeah that's not right. Crazy, maybe you should take a look at the pitching vs. hitting settings.

[Providence A's]

the AL average ERA is 5.18 with the NL being 5.55...yup

It's a 32 team league with a pretty bare minor league system. So there will be some growing pains. Hopefully things will settle down when we start adding more players through the draft, ect.

On the brightside, strikeouts are really high and walks are low. Probably have a dozen hitters whiff 200 or more times.

I thought Chipper had a sick sim last time with 6 HR. Carlos Lee just topped him with 8 HR this sim.

I think the shortage of good middle relievers might be a cause of the high era.

Idk, I have 4 very decent if not high level starters, and 3 of them have ERA's of 4.92, 4.93, and 5.51. McGowan is the lowest of the staff at 3.70. There's not much to explain these very high numbers.

Good sim this time around

Todd Linden's finally starting to hit

Seems moving him down in the batting order worked wonders.

Now if only Ryan Sweeney would follow suit.

My bullpen is shitty.

Sir,
I believe that I am deserving more than being a reliver.
I want a spot in the rotation, I think
I would do an adequate job. Otherwise, I'd like to play
elsewhere!

Wolf,

I believe your 12.19 ERA is horrible and your 2.52 WHIP is atrocious.
That's not what I would consider an adequate job.

P.S. You suck in real life too.

You can easily skew the statistics by playing with with the integer thingies. Example, nick changed a few things in TPSL and pitching league wide hit the fan. Whatever mission has his set to is as about perfect as you'd want it.

Things have sunk to the point where I was happy to have signed Edmonds and Sanders. I'm not proud of it either, lol!
