2012 Random Rumblings that feature a lot of Grumblings

[realmofotalk]

How the **** does my first round pick outfielder's contact talent fall from 10 to 7 in less than a year? I can't be bothered with such retarded development.

Heroine in his sushi?

another bad sim, but this was at least somewhat better

Nate McLouth is proving his worth this season finally, .323 avg, 3 HR, 17 RBI, 5 SB, .934 OPS

C Petey Paramore hit his first career HR off Justin Masterson

SP Dustin McGowan started the season real great going 0-4 in his first 4 starts, but in his last start he went 9 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 8 K's, for the best ERA in the rotation now

put in J.A. Happ (ratings are 10-8-6 now) in the rotation this sim for Kyle Waldrop, he did ok, actually went 9.2 IP for one start, although he lost that game in extras

[Porter]

I have 4 horses in the rotation. But can I please get a bullpen. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Phil Hughes is a 10-9-9 talent... Cain trade isn't looking so awful now.

[Providence A's]

Batting AVG: .306 (2nd)
Homeruns: 28 (T-14th)
Walks: 92 (T-4th)
Stolen Bases: 59 (1st)
Runs Scored: 169 (2nd)

Opponents AVG: .272 (18th)
HRs Allowed: 23 (T-8th)
Walks Allowed: 75 (T-16th)
Runs Allowed: 116 (T-8th)

much better sim for the pitching overall. once Hirsh gets his ERA down and the bullpen gets more innings to even out their numbers, we'll be good to go. I'm loving how the offense is doing even with Barton and Cust not helping much.

Monday 5/1/2012: Oakland's Zimmerman named Batter of the Month
The American League Batter of the Month award goes to Ryan Zimmerman, Oakland's starting third baseman. In 101 at bats he hit .366 with 7 HR and 28 RBI.

Adis Portillo has lost some movement on his pitches...
Nice waste of a first round pick.

Scott Kazmir OUT 3 weeks
Freddy Sanchez OUT 7 weeks
Francisco Rodriguez OUT 2 weeks

Un-****ing-believable.

i was going to complain about Cole Hamels being 0-5 with a 6.60 ERA. guess i really can't now...

[Halladay_is_God]

although Dustin McGowan turned it around this month so far

[bjd2933]

A-Rod is having the type of MVP season I am going to need him to have if I want to make the playoffs... As usual, Ace pitching, sub par offense... Hughes and Bruney are making this Cain trade not look as terrible as some people probably thought it was

[Porter]

Saturday 5/6/2012 :
Matt Tuiasosopo seems to have lost some bat speed, resulting in less contact...
Matt Tuiasosopo has lost some power...
Matt Tuiasosopo plate discipline seems to have faded


What did he do to deserve that.

While I'm at it. FIVE players from the bullpen got demoted to Tacoma due to the worst pitching from a bullpen ever. Yes even worse than my Vultures bullpen. League out at closer, Kenney replaces him. They can't do worse. They are f*cking up my starters. Oh yeah and to top that off. Who let Joseph Saunders start?

[Kingdom]

Won one game with the old guys. Hahahaha

Sosa, no errors at 2B! Branyan hitting 4 homeruns, Garret Anderson doing really bad.. didn't get much closer to 3,000 hits.

[DiamondDave]

3.5 star 10-9-8 SP Rick Porcello... 0-7 8.72 ERA... *&%^%!@^!%@$#

[Providence A's]

pitching is getting better (5th in ERA, 7th in runs allowed). Now if we could only get that Pythagorean record closer to 0.
