2014 Random Rumblings

[Hammer]

This is a hitters league. I mean look at what the hitters are doing and then look at pitchers who normally have era's under lets say .4 and now there .5 and above. Maybe next season the Pitchers will own the hitters more? Look at the team era's and there are only two teams with a era under 4. Most teams are in the 4.5 to low 5 range. So that alone explains the high era's.

League as a whole has a 4.76 era. Hitters are hitting about 260. The hitting is not good but the era as a league is terrible. Any thoughts?

sorry stats arent to your standards alas.

Yeah twinsfan, maybe your pitchers just suck ass or you should send in lineups with pitching instead of having me auto your pitchers all the time. That way Joakim Soria, a longtime reliever, won't wind up in your rotation every other sim...

No ones forcing you to stay if you dislike our ratings meters or sliders. That does go for everyone of course, not just you mntwins. As is now, I have 3 people waiting to get in...

Not that I'm implying I want people to quit, but we do put in a lot of work and it's kind of frusterating when there's a post 3 posts below this that explains that our stats are the closest thing to MLB, and ERA is lower than the other two leagues... which is everyone's main gripe with this league: pitchers not pitching...

And in a hitters league, Matt Cain has 27 wins and a 2.68 era. He sucks.

[Hammer]

max scherzer 16-4 with a 2.00 era... 27 out of 31 quality starts. he sucks too. infact 4 out of my 5 rotationary guys for the year, have eras under 3.50.

IF ONLY I HAD JUSTIN UPTON WHO WAS PRETTY DECENT LOL

Busting out my evidence. THAT earns you rep. In living colour.

Congrats to those who made the playoffs... specifically Atlanta, Houston and even Cincinnati who was runner-up for the NL WC.

I will always wonder if the Mets would have done better with Harden re-signing, but it was not meant to be. I am very pleased with the September stats of Walden and Vanwingerden. I doubt either will ever amount to Harden, but they should both be solid MLB starters.

Harden won 6 games in Aug and Sep and 4 POGs. Two wins against his former team.

No ridiculous booms or busts. Glad to see those walks coming down a bit from earlier out of my pitching staff. 2 guys at 20 or more hrs, thats probably a first for this team.

Lubanski was my biggest surprise hitting .285 20 HR 60 RBI in basically half a season. At 29 years old not a bad use of 300k and a boost early in the season.

Moustakas improved on his rookie season hitting .285 with 22 bombs and 91 RBI.

Of course once Sizemore goes down we play our best ball of the season. Fitting.

Try Huntzinger next year, he looks interesting... great minor league numbers O_O

[missionhockey21]

Stanton is alive, hallelujah. Not quite as big of potential as before, but close enough that I don't care. Sweet.

[General]

How about Bridges' 69 HRs in AAA?


Good but kinda crappy news: Velasco improved his talent ratings. Now I might actually possibly have a 1Bman somewhere down the line. Bad news is, he's 26 in January and nowhere near the majors. Also, Volstad bumped his contact talent....still refusing to increase his actuals, but also a good thing.


BTW, Volstad hit 20 batters this year. That prolly raised his ERA a good .25 or so...think his Hit Batters thing might be screwed up. That or he's a really passionate ****er.

[perforatededge54]

Playoff phenom Robinson Cano is out for 5 weeks entering the playoffs. Not a good sign. Good thing I signed Scott Hairston...

Also my second best starter is out. Limping into the playoffs for the first time ever. Not looking good.

BAL chokes yet again. Back to the drawing board...
