2017 Random Rumblings (new and improved...or is it?)

[Providence A's]

STL 22 ATL 10

Thursday 4/27/2017 :
Yadier Molina has 4 hits against Atlanta.
Yadier Molina has 5 RBI against Atlanta.
Stephen Head has 4 hits against Atlanta.
Stephen Head drives in 6 runs against Atlanta.
Ouichirou Ogai scores 5 runs against Atlanta.

only 5 of the runs we gave up were earned. General gave up 10 unearned runs...11 walks don't help though.

oh, and we followed that up with a 1 - 0 extra inning game the next day. Only to be followed up by an 11 - 1 drubbing what a weird series.

10 of my team's 17 losses were from 1-run games. Opponents have been lucky at our expense.

[Foster]

It's a good thing I get a lot of walks 124 (T-1st), cause I sure ain't doing much for my average .251 (21st).

Team is doing something good here, moving into 2nd in the NL Central.

[Kingdom]

Brandon Wood has been disappointing.

[Shadow29]

Brandon Wood has been disappointing.

I'm glad you get to feel what I put up with until now.

Others took my warning but I feel better about suffering through that type of play for years now that he's yours

[HollywoodLeo]

He did get him fairly cheap.

[Kingdom]

Yeah, 3 million is loose change to me. So I'm not really suffering.

[HollywoodLeo]

9-4 sim

[General]

And yet ANOTHER prospect for Atlanta is utterly worthless. Meet my first round pick from THIS year.

[Providence A's]

this year's draft hasn't happened in the game yet so those players are untouched. if you're referring to last year's pick, all he lost was an endurance point this year. looks like he was basically ready, too...should have called him up instead of leaving him in AAA.

oh, and you had a guy become a 5.0 spec:

Wednesday 4/19/2017 :
Kevin Patton increased his bat control, resulting in more contact!
Kevin Patton has gained more power!

[Halladay_is_God]

the good news
Justin Rabinowitz seems to have improved his pure stuff!
Justin Rabinowitz's pitches have more bite now, the movement has improved!

the bad news
Todd Walker, Jr. seems to have lost some bat speed, resulting in less contact...
Todd Walker, Jr. plate discipline seems to have faded...

Justin Rabinowitz's talent is now 10-9-9 (think he was 9-9-9 when i first traded for him)


also had a sim like 11-2

the one player i didn't expect to walk up did

David Wright is hitting .379, 7 HR, 19 RBI, 1.312 OPS in the month of May and has hit 4 HR and 9 RBI in the last 4 games

and this
Monday 5/15/2017:
The American League's best player of the week was Boston's Gustavo Carranza, who wins the award for the 2nd time in his career. Carranza helped his team with an average of .520 and 10 RBI in 25 at bats. Gustavo managed to drive in at least one run in every game he played this week.

[Kingdom]

Hmm.
Pelaez leads my team in RBI.

[OrioleMagic]

Hmm.
Pelaez leads my team in RBI.

Seems like a good signing for sure... .200+ and nearly .800 OPS to go with the dingers and ribbies... Well worth the money.

Can he maintain this level of performance?

[Kingdom]

As a #8 hitter, sure, he's in the best possible spot to take advantage of the power/speed and lack of contact.

[Halladay_is_God]

David Wright is leading my team with 31 I never expected that at all
