I may have an opening at hitting coach on my AA squad. A change may do you some good, see how you like things down in Mexico City. Sounds like a good landing spot to work your way back up to the bigs.

Lol. The original message said "except Dave" but then I smiled and thought, "let's remove that for fun."

Chu 1304 career games - 224 Hrs 875 Rbi ~ career earnings $16,256,000

VALUE!!!!

Without looking, I'm guessing if you look at OBP/OPS and those numbers, the difference is value is probably worth it, or something close.

And to be fair, that debate was never about value, that was the Murphy/Machado debate that I won, by the way. :)

Who cares about this..




And this game is so F'd up. How do i have nothing but shit players in rotation and lineup do I go 5-1. Sweep Washington and take 2 of 3 from Pittsburgh is beyond me. And all with a 4 man rotation. Silly just silly. Thanks OOTP sim gods for ruining my fall to the bottom.

2-4 sim for Albany...6 GB out of the division, 2 GB of wildcard. It's been a seesaw battle in this division to say the least. Should be interesting these last few weeks of the season. Losing two starters for the season out of the rotation has hurt an already weak pitching staff. Wilford Simpson, in is first full season In the ML has been the bright spot, leading the staff at 16-3 with an ERA under 3.75. Walker, Huggins (huggy for you, Corey) and Edwards continue to lead Albany offensively as usual.

Next up is 3 with Omaha and 3 with division leading Launch. A sweep of the Launch could get me right back in the division race, hoping I can get an export in before tomorrow. I'm currently high in a plane, vodka n tonics going down smooth, with an ETA less than an hour till Vegas...

picking top 10 right now, really going to try to drive toward the top 5. With some elbow grease I think we can get this thing done

Good luck, I was in the driver seat to get there today, was down to a 4 man rotation after last trade, No BP and no offense and go 5-1. Silly just silly. was on a 3-22 streak. Stupid sim ruined my plans. Now need to get back to drawing board and solve this.

Ok. Give it another shot. I've done some maintenance to clean up the main file and I've placed a new accountsgm file out there as well, just in case that was causing the issue. Beyond this, I'm not sure what else I could do to help. Keep me posted.
I plan on trying all this tonight/tomorrow morning. My old ass pc downloads very slow, so it takes a while. I haven't had time to fuck with it the last few days. Worth a shot.

Yea i seen it. Fucking guy batting .280 6 hr's since going over there. Whole thing is F'd. But he is just another page in the book now. I am happy with the rebuild. Went from 30th minor lg system to 3rd. And have yet to even draft yet.

Now if we can stop sweep division leading teams and lose like we shoulda, Things wil be even better

This sim is puzzling at times

That said I've never really read up on the ins and outs on the 'actual' effects of chemistry, and poor work ethic, and pissy attitudes and how they can affect a team. Hard to figure out how a team can win 95 games the 25-30 less the next year when they "improved"

And the Chris ford thing is horseshit still

Sucks seeing how the other half live

And everyone who "loves" a rebuild is on crack!!!!! 8-)

Mark Allen with 55 appearances out of the bullpen has 18 wins for me. Yeah this OOTPsim stuff is laughable at times.
