Maybe it's just a coincidence. But I hated the fact that we HAD to get rid of them. It should have been left as an option, hire them or dont. Winter meeting next year

I've noticed the same. And it's not like we have extremely dominant pitching going on either right now.

drafts have been garbage for 10+ seasons ....remind me why you guys are 'surprised'

As long as people know the average NL average last year was .246 in the MLB.

I think we have established long ago that this is a great league, but its "sim" in pretty much name only

we can't in one breath talk about how the average relates to real life and then in the next discuss not having coaches

But Nick is right. The developers are trying to mirror real baseball which is why in 21 we see so many low contact/high power/high strikeout dudes. That is all baseball is now

Just stop. Having coaches has literally nothing to do with this. There were teams that weren't even using them. You also have teams that have a minor league team with 8 players on it. Don't sit here and whine about how the league isn't "sim".

who is whining about anything?

Man, that easy sweep of Seattle would have felt much better if I didn’t drop 2 of 3 to those Cookeville bums.

It's like this in another league I'm in as well. They have coaches still. Hitting down across the board. Pitchers running wild.

according to that reference page, NL BA was lower last year than every season in the 70's except for 1978. Thats not a good sign for baseball, is it?

Is that Richmond that I see in the rearview mirror?

9 home games so far....


Some of those pitchers seem to be doing...I don't know, okay...though.

Well, we're hangin' tough despite a league low 6 home games (vs 26 road games). The rest of the gang who have played 20+ road games have a cumulative .433 win%, so I'll definitely take being a tick over .500

Plus we haven't even faced the starving soldiers of DPRK yet.

Now if only Billy would stop injuring all of my SPs, we could make some headway

Holy shit, sweep of NY and SEA....is my team actually good wtf lol.

In the last few sims I’ve killed my best SP and best reliever. Rip Lugo and Garza.
