2032 Season - Sweet Home Alabama (Ready 2/16)

[Seeitsaveit13]

We still planning on renaming a draftee?

I wondered that too

[The_Niddler]

We can if you guys want but this draft class sucked.

May be more of a reason too though.
Let me know if you guys still want to.
I am up for it.

I cringe everytime I read a sim email waiting for that one injury that kills the entire season in one fell swoop.

We had a Grand Slam by Ivan Rodriguez and a 3 run home run by Ollie Sorenson.
We had 35 players left on base during this game.

Stayed under the 35 point rule, good job!

I really need to brush up on my WAR understanding.

I thought Leblanc was having a subpar year by his standards yet he is 3rd in the league I believe in batters WAR.

[Wasted Memory]

Cookeville going to take a big hit in the fan base this off season. Big Cheese wants an extension, 3 years @ $11.5M per. Sorry guy. Can't do it.

Jose Hernandez, 2029 round 14 pick, (32/32 OSA and 34/38 my scout) started his MLB campaign 6 for 6 with 2 doubles. He finished the week 7 of 13 for a .538 average and a 1.292 OPS

must have been a home game

Seems like just a down year at the top of the NL for hitters, maybe? LeBlanc's numbers are down a bit, but his WAR is also down a bit in his normal averages.

That being said, 5th place in AL WAR is 6.0, so it looks like the AL is much more top heavy there.

4 for 4 at home with a double and then pitch hit single on the road and started the next game with a double on the road.

I can't help my field is a hitter friendly field. I even moved my fences around to try and prevent that, but didn't know the factors didn't automatically get updated with those adjustments. So there went at least $10 down the drain.

I actually just read this yesterday it is pretty interesting!

[Cnasty]

Aj with a great transition into George's inflated home numbers and the Leblanc discussion.
Nicely done!

hmmm, the pattern continues- winning month, losing month, winning month, losing month, winning month, losing month, October???- probably a losing month. Right now my team has me scratching my head, maybe I did to much tinkering.

[GeorgesGoons]

The AL West is shaping up for a nice run till the end. The top 4 teams are within 7.5 games with 20 to play.

Alabama is trying to find a way out of the playoffs with a 2-8 stretch over their last 10 and 4-12 over their last 16. Who would have thought Houston would bounce back the way they have after being back 5 games most of July. Houston has the best post All-Star record in the AL at 32-15.

Boston just cant pull away from Philly.

Miami can probably go into cruise control as Cleveland and Port Orange have been mistakenly called the New York Launch throughout the second half of the season by the way they have played.

The AL has 7 teams battling each other for the 3 wild cards spots. The only one that should feel secure in their position is Alabama but the way they have played lately they may be on the outside looking in come playoff time. Either that or they are getting their bad baseball out of the way now.

The NL has 5 teams competing for the final 3 spots. The only team playing well since the All-Star game is Philly. Could Cookeville battle their way back into a wild card birth?

All the other divisions are either locked up or just a matter of time before they are locked up.

LOL 1st thing I thought about. Maybe 1 more season and im out of this money shit show I had going on.

Of my HR hitters:
Ontiveras (by 4) and Davidson (by 1) are the only two players with more HR's at home than on the road.

Looking overall the numbers don't add up. Most of my guys actually do better on the road than they do at home or they are evenly split.

If I remember during the off season I may try to compile some numbers to see how everything pans out. Runs per game splits, average, slugging, OPS......

[GeorgesGoons]

I have played 5 more games on the road so far. Maybe that is why the numbers aren't adding up.
