2057 Season Thread.... Eff Yo Curse, Shock the World

[shel311]

I don't understand, we are top 10 in every category, but 3 games under .500. Makes no sense

Pythag Gods are being unkind to you.


Your Run Diff is exactly 100 runs better than Seattle, and you're .5 games back of them.

Has a division ever had two 110 win teams?

[Uuaww]

Has a division ever had two 110 win teams?

Me and Boston did it in 2041

Wow that was a long time ago and totally forgot we were in the same division together.

You left at a good time.

112 and 111, and a 96 win Cincy.

With no draft today, we need some immersion.

Should we revisit the BOS/SHL/RICH rotation discussion?

[Cnasty]

Not as much fun with Billy at the alter.

That is true, bad choice by me.

We need another topic.

Boston is having a rough June and its about to get worse with no Mochi for 5 more weeks.

Bats have gone ice cold.

Sheltown going to flip the standings this sim.

[shel311]

Sheltown bats have come alive in that same timeframe. I think the lead on the division peaked at 4.5, now it's down to 1 game.

Sheltown offense is rolling along nicely. Everyone except for Stormy Daniels has pitched well recently. It's been a solid few days.

Last season, Jeremy McGuire had a K/BB ratio that was more than double that of every SP except for 10 guys.

This season his 15.3 K/BB has more than doubled every SP except for his teammate Bri who is still way behind at 8.4.

Things one can always count on:

Death, Taxes, OOTP draft not going according to plan...

still a ways off over the legend Eduardo Moran. In his only season with Sheltown he put up a 22.5. I mean he only put up about 4 K's a game but he also only walked 4 batters the entire season

[shel311]

Loved following Moran's career. 90 Ks/4 walks that season in Sheltown. McGuire is at 92/6 right now.

Led the league in BB/9 10 times.

I have had zero time to go over this draft and make a list. Just went off the stats+ page and went with ratings I could live with.

There's a group of free agents asking for a minor league deal that I've offered a minor league deal probably every sim this season. Then they come back saying they want more money, then their demand is a minor league deal, then I meet demand. Then we repeat the process daily.


That's fun.

DLS NL BOTM hitting .362 with 5 HRs

DLS is due for a PED test.

In 9 previous seasons his career high for home runs is 17.

He's currently 3rd in the NL with 7 HRs, on pace for about 35-40 this season.

Hasn't hit a HR since this post.

He dropped the needle real quick once the suspicion began!

Signing bonus?

Today's dumb question: What would your walk up music be?

When I was in high school we started doing walk up music, which was pretty cool. I always had a Beastie Boys song, usually No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn (my hometown is Brooklyn, Iowa). If I was cooler I would totally pick Public Service Announcement by Jay-Z. Undisputed champion of walk up songs.

Except for Bad Blood, but only Rizzo could pull that off. Between that, Intoxicated, and Bryant's Warm It Up, Kris, the Cubs crush it with walk up music.
