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

[Kingdom]

Yea Henry hitting the DL will definitely let me do that

Here is what I'm thinking for a lineup:


Lineup:
1) Adrian Cardenas 2B
2) Gary Richardson LF
3) Travis Mattair 3B
4) Dallas McPherson RF
5) Michael Taylor 1B
6) Miguel Tejada SS
7) Jason Jarmillo C
8) Michael Bourn CF

Thoughts?

Makes the most sense. If Bourne continues to do bad, then put Henry back in when healthy.

How about those Expos?!?!

Where did this come from?

How about those Expos?!?!

Where did this come from?

Well the Expos in this league is non-existent? But if you look at Dam's Nationals...

[Foster]

BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH......

Wrong league. Sorry guys...

i REALLY don't know what the hell is wrong with my pitching. Cole Hamels has the ratings and the stats to have a much better season than a 4-5, 4.43 season. It's kind of pissing me off. I shouldn't have the 27th ranked pitching staff.

AND WHY DOES MATT HOLLIDAY KEEP GETTING HURT

[Providence A's]

Barre's really going to be an adventure in the outfield. If it's any consolation, Halladay, Bush's replacement did horrible too. Pitching just sucks, but I'm done rotating people in and out, ****ers will just have to live with bad stats. Hoo haa!

[Halladay_is_God]

yet Barre gained talent, just my luck

[Kingdom]

Don't feel bad, he's going to be the worst fielding RF ever

[Porter]

Batting AVG: .257 (29th)
Homeruns: 56 (T-14th)
Walks: 127 (29th)
Stolen Bases: 82 (4th)
Runs Scored: 245 (28th)

Opponents AVG: .267 (12th)
HRs Allowed: 72 (26th)
Walks Allowed: 153 (16th)
Runs Allowed: 274 (15th)

Well the offense is slumping really bad now but still at .500 at the moment. Still have to tweak the offense a little more. Im 3-10 vs OAK and NYY, 24-17 vs everyone else.

[Halladay_is_God]

7-5 sim I think

Batting AVG: .272 (15th)
Homeruns: 43 (25th)
Walks: 161 (T-12th)
Stolen Bases: 44 (13th)
Runs Scored: 256 (24th)

Opponents AVG: .297 (30th)
HRs Allowed: 72 (T-26th)
Walks Allowed: 142 (7th)
Runs Allowed: 323 (28th)

pitching is getting better , hopefully this game of musical chairs ends soon and I could be happy with my staff, although I do have top prospect Kyle Gibson almost ready now, 7-6-9 out of 9-8-9, might have to make room for him soon. Also a couple of new pitchers might be forcing my hand soon


development news
Billy Poirier seems to have improved his pure stuff!
Billy Poirier is hitting his spots better, his command improved!

26 now but his talent is 7-9-8 and his ratings are 5-6-7, I can only hope he turns out ok.

Yeah, if everything went swell I viewed my team as a 3rd place team at best, but this has just been a disaster... I kinda need the high pick though.

My best hitter has been Joe Crede, who I almost didn't even put in my opening day lineup. My starting pitching has been atrocious, and my bullpen has been 10 steps beyond atrocious. And not to mention, Barold Zito is lighting the world on fire in ****ing san diego after sucking big black ballbag in frisco for the past few seasons.

At least A-Rod isn't completely shot. I have a year left on his absurd contract, so I'd like to get at least 20 hr/80 RBI out of it next year.

it's called coors field buddy... same reason why your team is 2nd in HRs....

[DiamondDave]

Batting AVG: .290 (2nd)
Homeruns: 53 (18th)
Walks: 164 (11th)
Stolen Bases: 118 (1st)
Runs Scored: 314 (4th)

Pitching ERA: 3.94 (4th)
Opponents AVG: .258 (5th)
HRs Allowed: 32 (1st)
Walks Allowed: 139 (5th)
Runs Allowed: 236 (4th)

HR's STILL not coming like they should...

Putting 2.5 LHRP Beimel in the pen now to hopefully give some improvement... Shelton takes over full time DH because of Larish's slump... rearranging the lineup a bit according to current year performance and averages... severely debating going to a 4 man rotation and placing Putkonen in the pen if his stats don't improve after the next SIM or 2

[DMBZeppelin]

Batting AVG: .299 (1st)
Homeruns: 47 (21st)
Walks: 173 (T-6th)
Stolen Bases: 90 (3rd)
Runs Scored: 334 (1st)

Pitching ERA: 4.76 (15th)
Opponents AVG: .264 (9th)
HRs Allowed: 67 (24th)
Walks Allowed: 188 (28th)
Runs Allowed: 269 (13th)

I still can't believe my team is 1st in runs scored while only being 21st in home runs. I need to work a trade for a power hitter.
