2017 random rumblings

Who's excited about the possibility of having a sub .500 team in the playoffs? Could be the worst playoff team ever in a S3F sim league, just ahead of Leo's padres ;]

[Porter]

You forgot about the one-game playoff with DMB's Padres and Twinsfan Giants (both 80-82 at the time)

I thought the Marlins would get hot, but shit... Mission just got absolutely demolished by injuries this past sim. If he still wins the division, it says a lot right there... Miggy, Stanton, and one of his better relievers (Locke! LOL) are all out for awhile. Locke the season actually. And Harville has been down for awhile (:X)... he was red hot at the time of injury.

On the bright side, Chris Volstad is just filthy, even with his injury this year.. and if he gets in the playoffs, Volstad, Hicks & Engen are a nice 3-man and he has a real good closer. I think FLA is still the best team in that division and only team with a good chance of advancing in the post-season, but they'll have to piece things together until the playoffs. Miggy and Stanton should be back by then atleast. Seems like FLA pitching is fine in the playoffs, but the hitting dies out each year.

I'd probably go out on a limb and pick DET to win it all right now. I don't even know why. Maybe the Yankees will win one more, although Johan's dead for the year... rip. I just have a hard time picking you (zito), General or Hammer now, because it seems like every year....

[General]

**** Chris Volstad. He sucked big ass for me.

Seems like moving to the NL helped him a lot. I don't think his ratings have changed much at all (maybe his control went up a point, but I don't remember if it was 7 for awhile or always at 8). He's still not very durable though.. never pitched 200 innings and went down for awhile this year.

Hey prov, congrats... you're the best prospect in the league.

That's pretty funny, considering the only other effective TPSL players I can even think of have been Shadow Jones and Erik Hammer. Too bad you play for TPSL's armpit.

[General]

I wonder why Alderson and Hildalgo have regressed so much this year.

[nick]

I just looked at Hidawgo... he got bombed in May, but hasn't been touched any other month (barely has pitched though).

Maybe switch him to a different role in the pen. Alderson is just a sad story.

[Kingdom]

Alderson = Chuck Tiffany

[Kingdom]

Johan Santana was 33 wins from 300, but is out with a season ender. That might have derailed his chances, although right now his ratings are still in tact. He's 38

[BrewerBall13]

yea...thats AWESOME for me...glad I might make the playoffs with my ace gone for the year...

[realmofotalk]

Hey Johan, you can't do without me. Tell me how my ass taste.

[Doppelgänger]

How awesome is it to have every pitcher on your team having the worst year of their career? Pretty awesome.

Porter put the bad in bad pitching
