SIM COMPLETE - 1996 - SIM 4

[Dave]

By the way, I've noticed that most people don't discuss their AAA teams anymore and I think it's mostly due to the fact that my AAA team is 22-4. I feel like we've lost a lot of momentum in the Horizon League and I feel like my awesomeness is mostly to blame. So I have decided to dismantle my AAA roster. Please PM me with offers for my players because they will all be GONE by the next sim.

I'd love to see your AAA team play your BLB team in a seven game series. It would be more competitive than the Stout.

I'm only guessing, but I doubt you thinking at all about the integrity of the league here. Come on man, do the right thing!

Freddie Thompson stayed in the DL and his ERA went from 8.36 to 2.71.

Washington obviously switched leagues (Derrrr, really? The IL is easier to pitch in? Is that because of that DH thingamjiggie? Derr, thanks guys!) but his ERA has dropped from 6.44 to 1.21. My comment was obviously tongue-in-cheek because Washington has only started 4 games this season, but we're not dealing with a guy shaving a run off his ERA due to switching leagues. Washington and Thompson flat out couldn't pitch for my team, and now they can pitch for other teams.

Freddie Thompson had an unusually bad year that season. His BABIP was ridiculous beyond ridiculous. Your defense was inconsistent and had zero regulars besides Haynes, Perez and nearly 20 errors out of the blob covering 3B (I know you prefer I don't mention his name because it probably makes you want to throw your child through a television set). It was a bad situation for him.

He'd been a above average pitcher for two seasons prior. I don't think it's out of the ordinary that he'd return to that form.

Or maybe we can take the more obvious approach and blame it on you.

Well 6-1 was not what expected with Pete Fitz on the shelf till mid august and two 2-game series in the Ale but my only loss came against the Dino's in extras in game 7 of the sim.

So with Fitz out the rest of the pitching really stepped up. As Brad mentioned Nate Taylor who has been very inconsistent for me since the trade from DC, pitched a no-hitter.

We got a great game out of Ollie Kane as well as he pitched a two-hitter against Maine and was OUTPITCHED by Suarez who pitched one-hitter but that one hit was from shitty, a three run bomb for a 3-0 win.

Raul Rios continues to be better than advertised as he is now 3-0 with a 2.22 ERA. Don't see it lasting but will take it since he is now #4 in the rotation.

Ramano Jacapino went 2-0 this week as well. Lonnie Thompson was called up because of the Fitz injury and got us a win as well.

Again the pitching held us together as guys like shitty, trujillo and farmer all hit .185 or under (only guys on my team with 6 contact).

3-4...

Losing two in a row to Carolina hurt. Doug Hill got absolutely lit up in game one by giving up six runs, didn't give us a chance as we ended up losing 11-0 or something to that effect. Game two wasn't any better as we couldn't capitalize with runners on base. We have no problem getting base runners on but driving them in is a different story. Although I haven't watched the California games yet, it looks like Robison is finally picking up some slack.

Kudos to Carolina though, I definitely dreaded seeing Reyes, Hamilton, and then Deleon coming to the plate. It's a nice trio there..

A solid 7 game win streak was nice. MacChoiter is tearing it up right now.

I saw that.

I'm happy that he found his groove early this season. He just needs to turn it off for 3 games next week.

[Gyrodork]

We're 19 - 7; so you know what that means, boys and girls... That's right, it's time to loose a key player to injury. And the lucky bastard is...

It must be that damn Montreal Bounce™. Those french strip clubs are a miracle worker on a player's bat.
