2013 Random Rumblings (With a side of KOZ's Dumplings)

[Kingdom]

At least Pee Wee owns!

[Porter]

Rough sim for the whole AL West.

But at least Porter is 2-0.

[Kingdom]

Headley-Fielder-Blas, bash brothers. Glad no one wanted Headley.

[Providence A's]

YOU had a rough first sim??

yes, I did. we have lost 6 games in a row...all on the road (0 - 6 on the road so far). 3 game sweeps by DET and BAL. offense was terrible...but it's just one sim so we'll see how the new totals shake out over the duration of the season.

[Doppelgänger]

Wow a really bad offensive start, paired with lots of errors. Rough start for the division all around really.

[HollywoodLeo]

I fully expect my pitching to suck but it would be nice if my offense would do something

[cjkalt]

I lost my big Trade Acquistion Scott Kazmir for 9 weeks, and my lineup wasn't good to start with...

Anyone see anything wrong with this message?

He is day-to-day, but full recovery will take 1-2 weeks.

Anyways pitching carried me this sim. Need to tweak the lineup just a bit. Matt Moustakas had a good first sim. Rest of the offense seems to be taking some time to get going.

Batting AVG: .309 (2nd)
Homeruns: 5 (29th)
Walks: 30 (25th)
Stolen Bases: 3 (T-26th)
Runs Scored: 49 (28th)

Pitching ERA: 2.97 (3rd)
Opponents AVG: .235 (3rd)
HRs Allowed: 6 (2nd)
Walks Allowed: 29 (4th)
Runs Allowed: 36 (2nd)

I didnt expect to steal a lot of bases (need to basically kill it no instincts what so ever beyond DeJesus) but I expected more power output than this.

FINALLY.. my starting pitching is pitching closer to ratings/ability... but I still have to get some improvement in middle relief in the pen

I still think I should be hitting more HR's than I am, considering I have 10 power with quite a few hitters and 7+ power all over the place

[Dam8610]

Can someone please explain to me how my team is 11-13 and in the cellar of the NL East? I don't get it at all.

Well......hitting wise, the balls are flyin outta the park, but other than that, not much goin for me. Derrick Robinson is KILLING the ball, as is A-Ram, but nobody else is hitting for average. I'm dropping Brandon Wood to 7th and moving Derrick up. As far as pitching goes, I'm incredibly disappointed. Kerry Wood is doing well at closer when he gets the chance, and his high ERA is from his 1st apperance which is skewing it. The walks were expected, but the runs need to stop crossing the plate, especially when players aren't hitting well off the pitchers.

A 6-6 sim is definately an improvement from 4-9, but we got a long way to go
