2017 random rumblings

[nick]

I don't really know why I signed him period. He was gonna be a mopup man at first. He had great ratings before the contract (he's lost movement, END and stuff I think, making him useless since) and seemed like a nice risk to take, since seemingly guys like Leo Nunez and Ramon Ramirez are good with my squad. But he bombed out pretty bad... I should probably just cut him, but I'm aleady halfway through the deal.

I guess I should say, I don't know why I signed him to a 2 yr deal. I really need to stop signing MRs to multiyear deals, unless they can close.

[General]

You can have JP Howell back, Nick.

[nick]

**** JP Howell. I don't even know who I got for him, but I'm pretty sure he must've sucked too.

[Kingdom]

Nick and Porter could start their own clinic for crappy pitchers.

[General]

Shields, if I recall correctly.

[nick]

Nah, Shields was in the Willbanks/Quintanilla deal.

I think I traded Howell to you for like, some SP spect and Eddie Kunz or something.

[General]

**** yeah, Eddie Kuntz.

[Providence A's]

10 - 5 sim with a few more injuries. I can't remember a season when I had so many injuries. Pitching seems to be improving.

Seattle +10
Oakland -4

you gotta love the Pythagorean record. I "should" be up by 4.5 games, but instead I'm down by 9.5. I've got an outside shot with a month and a half left if we play like we did this past sim and Seattle's luck runs out a little.

Batting AVG: .288 (4th)
Homeruns: 111 (T-20th)
Walks: 392 (6th)
Stolen Bases: 140 (9th)
Runs Scored: 671 (6th)

Pitching ERA: 4.77 (17th)
Opponents AVG: .277 (18th)
HRs Allowed: 110 (13th)
Walks Allowed: 318 (8th)
Runs Allowed: 617 (16th)

Pujols is hitting .395. He's been hitting .411 since June. Hitting only .287 in May is what is keeping him below .400 because he also hit .467 in April.

Asahina is on fire this month going 3 - 0 with a 1.40 ERA so far. Mazzaro 2 - 0 with a 2.95 ERA.

[Porter]

Batting AVG: .292 (2nd)
Homeruns: 120 (14th)
Walks: 274 (30th)

Gotta love the +10. Who cares, keep winning?

[Providence A's]

that's the plan Sir Charms.

[Saber]

In the race not, *****es.

[Porter]

They win 1 run games and lose big. Thats been the story of the season.

[General]

Price seems a lock for American League Cy Young if he keeps winning.

[General]

Oh, and let's talk about power for a sec.

Kaenie: 7 HRs in April, 8 HRs in May, 7 since then. wat.
Entrails Davis: 20, 22, 17 HRs past 3 seasons. This season? 6. 1 in the past 3 months. ONE.

[General]

Also, 6 shutouts for Price. Six. Are you joek-ing?
