2024 - Season - Remember the Titans (Ready 8/24)

[steelcitychaos]

Bulldogs are coming apart a little each sim, our pitchers are all over the place. right now the meter is leaning toward being a seller before the trade deadline, just have to figure out who I need to let go of

[cougnix]

2 late inning losses in Washington. 2-4 sim could have been 4-2...

[nick]

My pitching is soooo bad. Like sooooo bad. Every single one of my batters who starts is above 100 OPS+ which should be a good thing. Sucks we cant pitch to save our fucking lives! Can the injured squad hurry n heal? thanks boys

fuck it.. time to call up.. "Jake Hethrington"..

Dillonvale goes 6-1 this sim taking 3 of 4 from the Habaneros and then we sweep the LOLCats!

SP Scott "Ratbreath" Tuck came out firing strikes and when the game ended, the Predators hurler had struck out 1 in leading Dillonvale over the Chicago LOLCats 1-0. Tuck allowed just 1 hit in the ballgame.

In our next sim, we have a 3 game series vs the Ohio Fighting Amish and then a 4 game series @ the Honolulu Surf Dogs.

Spitters take advantage of their week with Indy and Texas.

Morse still struggling but Thomas is dealing and the hitting started to come around.

sorry about that AJ, posted in wrong thread.

new scouting report (june 1st).. good to see Edward Chapman immediately drops, oh well, solid DH

[shel311]

My favorite part of this last sim... besides the new reports that I'll dive into after lunch...

5/29: Sheltown Shockers @ Cincinnati Titans - Loss, 3-0.
W: H. Hogan (9-1) L: P. García (7-1) S: M. Kelley (13).
HR - None


Straight from the "You've Got to be Shittin' Me" news.

I wouldn't even sweat it, looking at the new development report, 2 reports in a row I'm regretting this trade. Your 2 guys are going up, my 3 guys keep going down.

No idea what you saw in Duncan. I should try to find that IM, because it totally threw me for a loop when you said something to the effect of Hogan being like an 'added throw in' on the deal and you were focused on Boyd/Duncan. Boyd is going to be fine... Hogan, idk wtf that is all about... and I never thought Duncan would see my starting rotation... ever... even if 3 guys got injured.

Duncan was a higher potential rating, 63 or 65 ish when we made the trade. Had solid ratings, slightly better than Hogan per my scout.

Now, Duncan is a 51 potential.

He's basically a waste now. So it's a 2 for 2 trade. Boyd and McMahon seem pretty similar, but Perez looks to be a beast. He was 68 pot at the trade, now he's 73. And Hogan, I'm not quite falling fo the 9-1/2.00 ERA. He looks like a solid addition, but not quite as good as the 2 you got, nowhere near Perez.

These last 2 reports Ive basically gone 0 for 5 on the 5 guys traded...both reports.

IS THIS THE NEW TRADE CZAR FINALLY DOING HIS JOB???? or something else????

[shel311]

IS THIS THE NEW TRADE CZAR FINALLY DOING HIS JOB???? :lol

Nope, definitely something else.

[ReignOnU]

You got me all excited to go look... this is what I've got...

S. Boyd: -3, -5, +2
- Definitely a loss on potential.. I never thought the Mov was going to last though, it rarely does.

H. Hogan: +2, -2, +11
- That +11 is starting to make sense with his recent surge. Kind of crazy, because that's exactly what I was waiting for from him and it never happened... and I was ready to write him off. Then he's traded and boom... there it is.

A. Duncan: +1, +1, -15
- I didn't realize his control dropped like that. I was making my comments based on him having high 60s Con Pot, just because his Stu was low and I had him for awhile. That's a bummer here. Either way, still don't think he was starting in the ML.

************************************************************************

M. McMahon: +5, 0, 0
- He's young... so I'm not putting much stock into his ratings for a season or 2.

E. Perez: 0, +2, +8
- His Con was already great, but I can't argue with a gain.

************************************************************************

Definitely in my favor from a ratings standpoint, even though you're winning the deal right now with Hogan Hulking up. I was very happy with this deal when we made it, mostly because it did a lot for me. I didn't like Duncan, I needed to move someone that was ML ready like Hogan... and I REALLY wanted an elite, young minor league stud like Perez. The only thing I didn't like was giving up Boyd, because I think he's going to be a career 3.5 ERA that throws a ton of innings every season. Basically the perfect #2/#3 SP.


(on a side note... that was really fun to do some research... been awhile since I got in depth on some players!)

[shel311]

Good stuff. The ratings are so hard to judge because I still think my "previous report" thing is all messed up.

For example with Hogan, I still see the +10 or whatever it is in control, but it also shows his last report as 8/1/2023, even though I know there's obviously been a few reports since then, so that +10 isn't really accurate based on the real last report.

I basically based it off of memory. But your numbers fall in line somewhat, if it isn't all 5 both times, it's pretty close, but at any rate, your winning the ratings change battle in a big way.

I know Perez went, based on POT by my scout, from 68 to 71 to 73. McMahon went something like 63 to 65 to 68...something along those lines.

Stupid Duncan!!!

[Cnasty]

Sounds like Shel got Crystal Balled

[ReignOnU]

I think over the last season, I had more conversations about trading Hogan than any other player on my roster. It seems like there are some very wild opinions on just how good he is/could be.

[ReignOnU]

Sounds like Shel got Crystal Balled

Quality v Quantity.

[ReignOnU]

Considering Shel is beating up the AL and it's 2 former players from my organization leading the charge at the plate and on the mound... I'm thinking he's doing ok, lol. (not to mention McIntyre and Boyd, 2 future stud SPs on the way)

[SIRLOIN]

Sounds like Shel got Crystal Balled

Quality v Quantity.

NAW more like he got "OGR"

Yea, pretty much.

Also please don't forget, you're trade critiquing again.
