2088 Season Thread - Once upon a time in Hollywood

[DRiccio21]

My immersion is at all time highs.

Best division in baseball yet again… pretty sure only division in baseball w 4 teams with + run diff

#bEAST

is sheltown would just draft and stop signing bums to bad contracts, we'd have 5 elite teams.

[shel311]

is sheltown would just draft

I drafted a dude #4 overall a couple of seasons ago, got some props in the draft channel in Slack for the pick.

Less than 1 year later the dude was not in the top 500 prospects and has a 41 potential. Not sure drafting is my ticket out.

Best division with less teams making the playoffs than the AL Central

Best division with only 1 team posting a 90 win season (c'mon AJ, you better do it!)

Best division when not one team will have a +90 run differential. Pretty sure the Beef/Hollywood/Seattle/WF/Moose Jaw had that prior to the All Star break.

Hell, Burnaby could win that division.

Pretty sure the AL (L)east is only fun to watch right now because it's just a bunch of B level teams with AJ getting ready to take over for a while.

Well said, George. Well said!

Figured that would have been Nicks way of reading it. Guess that Louisiana education didn't help

George talking a lot about the best division in baseball while he sits 13.5 games back of first in the AL Central

Also,

Looks like Bilel is on pace to win his 6th MVP award, his first since 2082.

Very possible he could opt out after this season too, wouldn't be surprised

When the season is over, we will have another 100 win season. Probably won't be more than 5 this year.

The Beef have averaged 100 wins the last 5 seasons. Pretty sure I can call our division the best. Congrats on winning your first AL Central title! It's a long fall from the top

I'd still take Fernandez over him in the MVP race. But we all know it goes by WAR and he'll get his 6th after the season is over

Sorry Fernandez chicks don't dig singles

100 wins is average now tbh

Hollywood is doing all the heavy lifting in the division

100 wins is average?!? There will be 5 this season with an outside chance at 6 if Seattle gets 5 wins.

Last year there were 4

The year before there were 3

I'd say 90-95 wins is average for a playoff team

average for us!

[ajalves]

We (the league) had a long debate/conversation about winning teams etc etc

This year has really shown me that winning breeds winning and player improvement. no question about it.

Not sure if we will hang on, but even if we don't, its been a good year. We got hot at the beginning and it has snowballed. Not as much as the big teams in the league but significant for us.

thats where team budget comes into play. If you dont have money you better hit a home run with all your decisions

[GeorgesGoons]

thats where team budget

What's that?

[ajalves]

even more to my point, many teams don't have to worry about it.

[TheGobOne]

even more to my point, many teams don't have to worry about it.

It's because we are lax about it. No owner in real life would allow a GM to take his team to almost MINUS 100M dollars. Just wouldn't happen.

Especially with no results.....George would have been fired a long time ago IRL lol.

to be fair. In real life, a team that has been 1 win away from the WS a couple of times the past 4 years would be able to charge more than $28 a ticket.

Bro preach! That's what mine is at this year and that's the highest ever I've been able to sustain.
