2008 Random Rumblings Take 3

[Halladay_is_God]

4-6 sim, not the start I wanted I expected a bit better especially from a decent offense that's not hitting

Batting AVG: .234 (29th)
Homeruns: 16 (T-23rd)
Walks: 68 (6th)
Stolen Bases: 26 (10th)
Runs Scored: 77 (T-29th)

Pitching ERA: 3.82 (11th)
Opponents AVG: .231 (4th)
HRs Allowed: 14 (T-4th)
Walks Allowed: 60 (22nd)
Runs Allowed: 78 (6th)

batting average, Homeruns, run scored are way too low, only one hitting the ball so far is Hanley Ramirez

I'm going to have re-think the lineup from top to bottom, its just not working this way

pitching fell a bit but is the back-bone of the team so far, my record would be a lot worse

DET: Javier Vazquez strikes out 15 against CSKA.

Does the player development link not report all rating changes?

Jeff Francis used to be 9-10-10 but now he's 10-10-10, but there's nothing on him under that.

edit: Not that I'm complaining about it.

(there you go Bon Bon, you're not the only one with questions.)

All I can say is: I trade away Scott Linebrink...and he preforms well?!? He always sucks in sim leagues. Why does he do well only when I get rid of him?

1-0, 7 saves (tied for league lead), 0.84 ERA

[CrazyEights]

All of my batters hit like pitchers! So much for the DH rule. lol

[DiamondDave]

Batting AVG: .268 (8th)
Homeruns: 19 (T-15th)
Walks: 61 (14th)
Stolen Bases: 31 (4th)

Pitching ERA: 4.39 (18th)
Opponents AVG: .252 (13th)
HRs Allowed: 18 (14th)
Walks Allowed: 58 (17th)
Runs Allowed: 92 (15th)

SP starting to improve a little... losing the only lefty in my pen during the last SIM hurt though.... the trade for Nady is providing some dividends, which is nice.... I will probably have to tweak my lineup a little in the middle and the back half.... take advantage of some hot starts, maybe

Reached .500 with a 6-4 SIM. Now 10-10. Got some moves to make before the next SIM though.

[HollywoodLeo]

Thus far my first trade (Jeffress for Rodney and Rosario) isn't looking too good, but my 2nd trade (Sanchez for Linebrink) is looking great.

Of course, I wouldn't have wanted to give up Sanchez had I not had Rosario to take his place.

But, at the same time, I'm sure ljshorty would have taken Jeffress for Linebrink as well.

[Doppelgänger]

All of my batters hit like pitchers! So much for the DH rule. lol

And all my pitchers pitch like hitters! League file must be messed up.

[OrioleMagic]

Tokyo won twice as many games this sim as we did in the first sim!!!

[browntown653]

5-5 sim for the Ducks. John Rocker approves!



Good news, Joba is now 10-10-10! Look out world

[ljshorty89]

John Rocker would approve of anything. Except of course the 7 train in which you find hispanics, and foreigners and teenage mothers with AIDS and colored hair....

Another decent sim i think i went 6-4 Average pitching, decent hitting to start the year.

True
now only if there was no trade council

Shit, lost Jeter for over a month. Rough. (Kouzmanoff quickly believing he'll get to play is quickly denied when we call up Grant Green)

Leave it to giantsfan to talk shit and Cueto has his first good outing against.. Maui. Maine has been the only starter to be ugly. The pen is naturally ugly.

I doubt I would have even made that offer.

Just looking at it after the fact.
