SIM COMPLETE - 1996 - SIM 17

I swear. I have never seen us get picked off or thrown out trying to grab extra bases so much in the last 12-13 years I've been running this ship.

That is so freaking annoying.

I put alerts on my phone for things like this sometimes.

Post-it notes and tattoos like the guy in Memento is another option.

Such a great movie.

Friendly reminder to the few teams this impacts (including mine)... You may not make a waiver claim on a player who would push your team payroll over the cap.

Let me know if you have questions.

Does anyone know if there is a "notes" section in game where I can remind myself to make changes at the end of the season(or anytime really)?

You can write notes for reminders on players.

Any idea what the record is for most games played under your Pythagorean projection? Denver and I are both currently at -6 and that seems like a high number.

It's disgusting and I hate it. Also I've nearly always played well below our Pythagorean record. I don't know why that's the case.

I've been -22 historically. Which is by far the highest (or lowest?) in the DL. But Philly is at -33 and Wilmington is at -34. Just wow.

Hartford was -15 in 1994 for the season worst.

We also lost Chad Sinclair for the season who is now 2-2 on missing significant time by getting hurt playing defense.

Mr. Sinclair?

Meet Mr. Wallace.

Meet Mr. Wallace.

Loren Wallace = Grady Sizemore.

Pat is the king of making something out of nothing.

Why in the world is Pat Daniels any good? At least Len Jenkins finally fell back to earth.

I blame poor management.

Loren Wallace = Grady Sizemore.

Great COMP. As an AL Central guy, I can confirm that Grady was also greatly overvalued by his Ownership.

The best thing about it for Sinclair (I wouldnt know this for Wallace) is that each of his injuries have come right after he put up a very good offensive month.

In 1995 he opened the season hitting .400 and driving 7 or so homeruns over the wall. So giddy over his performance, he gets hurt on the field and wins the Rookie of the Month Award one day later.

Now in 1996, he overcomes a slump and hits 8 homeruns with 22 RBI (I know Rex Knight does this in one week. Whatever) and gets hurt on the first of the month.

It's like clockwork with these guys. I guess I can start looking for another LF. I do not like torn back muscle injuries on a power hitter.

Wait... Someone with a lot of experience with the game actually can get performance from places that other Owners miss??? He must be either the Commish or cheating because he couldn't just be good at the game.
