I can't believe he's still pitching at that level. He's had 2 major injuries in his career and just keeps coming back for more.

1 earned run given up in his last 7 starts now. Has given up 4 hits or less in 8 straight starts.

Through 11 starts, his H/9 is 3.74.

"Steve Bryan singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, flied out in the 6th, grounded out in the 8th, grounded out in the 11th, singled in the 13th, grounded out in the 16th, singled in the 18th and hit a two-run single in the 20th."

You don't see that paragraph too often. OF Rivera had ten at-bats.

A 4-2 sim for the Tribe. June is going to determine if the Natives are truly restless or just slightly agitated. This is my schedule for the rest of June:
3 vs Vegas
3 vs Sheltown
4 vs Houston Alkies
2 @ Sheltown
3 @ Houston Alkies
2 @ Philly
3 vs Windstorm

It's ridiculous.

You have to see his raw ratings from back in OOTP X. There's a reason he had a 9 ERA in college. Plus, he only had two pitches.

its the 5 years missing from his history. apparently he traveled the world and found a wonder drug coupled with the fountain of youth

Nothing is "missing"; that was me fucking up on draft day and accidentally deleting his history. Here it is prior to the draft.

when I look at his history, there are 5 years not there. so, its missing to me.

dont get defensive. maybe its a game bug....when guys are 'altered' its like the golden touch or whatever. Similar to Wu. Not saying its intentional. shit happens.

Wu was mediocre. Thomas was an awful reliever with two pitches. Let me put it this way: there is a 0.0% chance that Thomas got this way without some sort of interference.

how can you say zero chance when you just posted you accientally deleted 5 years of his history?

It's just text.

i understand

im not accusing anyone of anything.

total coincidence I guess

Mediocre is a stretch...

Another 2-4 sim for The Storm.

In other news, Temecula Diablos AAA coach was helping his daughter sell girl scout cookies door to door to raise money for her trip to DC with her school, when a man pulled a gun!

Temecula (KTLA) — A man was arrested after he allegedly pointed a gun at a girl who was going door to door selling cookies in Temecula, Ca. on Sunday, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
The incident happened on the 31000 block of Strawberry Tree Lane shortly before 11:30 a.m., according to a news release from the sheriff’s department.
The girl was selling cookies in the neighborhood with her father when she got to the home of 59-year-old John Dodrill, according to the release.
She knocked on the door, Dodrill opened it and pointed a gun at her, authorities said. The father witnessed the incident and called police.
Officers responded and took Dodrill into custody, the release stated. His gun was seized for evidence.

The guy averaged 20 home runs in AAA before his first call-up. I am also currently staring at his ratings in editor mode right now.

So are those ratings good enough to produce what he turned in to? Odd that OSA would be so consistent for so long prior to his emergence,then remain so consistent for so long beyond his emergence.

No, I am not denying that it is a bit strange. My best guess is the way the ratings are calculated. I don't know the path it took, but where we are now (I forget what percentages you told me) is a far cry of where we were when I handed the keys off to Bear.

Amaya passed Cruz in hits this week; 2,750 to 2,743 and has recently passed him in games played and at-bats. Is one away from tying him in doubles and has decent chances at passing him in runs and total bases.

Has anyone looked at the AL Central recently???

Chicago Windstorm 36 21 .632 -
Indianapolis Indians 32 23 .582 3.0
Sheltown Shockers 33 24 .579 3.0
Houston Alcoholics 32 24 .571 3.5

Goodness . . . sucks I started the season like 5-10(ish) . . .

Anyway . . . i'm out til Thursday night as I travel to Austin to present in a technology conference . . . wish me luck . . .

Both centrals.
