2040 Season Thread-Feeling Crabby?

[Boston_Rob]

He's not going to improve dramatically.

Hence why I traded him as he is more suited to be a closer versus a reliable starter long term in my opinion.

Agreed. Control>Stuff for starting pitching imo.

What the fuck is my manager doing...he is about to get fired. My starting rotation has not been right the last 5 sims. I am using 7 day lineups and exporting every day, anyone have any suggestions how to get my dumb ass digital manager to shape up?

On the 7 day screen, the only change I make on the top right is to say Yes, use 7 day lineups. I've heard other people change a few others...but I'm not having any issues with just the first one changed. That and exporting about 13 times

Question for the vets, is it common or possible for a SP to get significant potential control boosts when already 24. Basically is Pat Hull going to walk 6 guys a game and infuriate me forever or does he still have a shot?

He's welcome back in Akron

Also in Shane or whoever else's defense, just because you offer let's say two 70 rated players for one 60-65 rated player doesn't mean they absolutely have to deal that player. Maybe it's not the most business savvy move to do that in every scenario but some owners just may really like certain players and it may help their immersion level to have said player on their team. I also think some owners get too tied up in the overall and potential ratings by their scout and OSA and that may hinder talks

For me, wasn't an attack on Coug. Just pointing out how scouts may vary on just how valuable a player is.

Wrong Shane, I think duster is Shane too

I was referring to you since a couple people seemed irritated you wouldn't move a certain player even though they thought he was a average to good talent and offered enough. But like I said even if it isn't smart to do it everytime, there's no reason why someone has to feel obligated to trade someone just because people make offers

Oh well I don't give a fuck what people think.

Rookie opinion here but it appears to take most pitchers at least 3 full seasons before you get their true MLB potential. So like Corey said probably not dramatically, but maybe enough to stay in the rotation

Parra has something like 13 doubles in 14 games for the Ducks, thanks Dave

i'm not surprised at all.

solid vets playing on shitty teams seem to love a new start on a new team. even a guy like Weddington went from a good player to the guy i always expected him to be in Washington. some dudes just need a fresh start.

guys like Reyes and Potts probably would get the same boost.

I feel like the Mariners that one year winning all those regular season games...or Sheltown any year.

[nick]

Sheltown is the little engine that couldn't.
