SIM COMPLETE - 1997 - SIM 16

[tomr1962]

Nice week considering the competition. Rain delay against Virginia knocked both pitchers out.

It sucks trying to get pitching. I drafted a bunch of HS pitchers hoping a couple may pan out.

Thoughts on Rackman He is pitching great but his work ethic is no good.

Also can a pitcher gain Stamina. Lombardo looks great but his rating is only 4. Like 6+ for starters

I was so pissed when gave up those 5 runs in the 9th inning.

Yeah, since Gaston made the 2nd out it should have been over. Nice 2 out rally.

right but if o'fallon is done for eight weeks i need to get someone up this sim to add depth and help with the extra AB's and change my lineup around. If he is only done for 2 days I can just start someone in his place for those two days. Your held hostage by the feature cause it does not understand we sim a week at a time.

Also I don't see this rehab option... where is it located in the game.

And I think this is sim 16.

I did it was Nago. You can use it AFTER his injury is over.

As for how it works.... it puts ur guy in AAA, but after the assignment is over sends your player DFA. Does it help? So far Nago is 0-7 in the big show.

BTW- Pawtucket 3-4. Los Lunas ass raped us at home again, but for some reason we match up with Pitt this season. Next up, Maine & Hartford combined record 1-12. Thinking we pass Windy City & the upstarts in Daveport on the draft board.

I would love to trade for another pitcher but the price is just too high.

You haven't asked about Snow.

I found myself in southern CA this week and wasn't able to export. But the last two sims were kind to me. Maybe I should lay low the rest of the season. Caught a game in Annaheim (Angels vs Mariners). Saw Ichiro Suzuki hit a blast over the RCF wall, if you can believe it.

BTW, I made a rare trade offer a couple of sims ago, but haven't received a response. I'll be adding a decent RH Reliever to my Trade Block. Maybe a minor deal will get done this week end.

Maybe a bigger deal is in order?

4-3 this week as I think we are finally working through our mid-summer rut. An uncharacteristic blown save by our bullpen in a game against Wilmington, kept us from winning both series for the week.

Since the All-Star break we've gone 10-6, with an IL leading 1.14 WHIP and 2.90 ERA (2nd in IL over the same stretch). 21 year old, Derek Vleugel put up another stellar performance going 8 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 4 K. That was damn good and hopefully, we have found our ace. I never thought I could get this pitching staff back in order in Baltimore, but we look decent.

Our offense has been hit and miss of late and Shitty's return to the lineup in 3 weeks is just in time for our late season push for the Porter crown. We first head to Calfornia to face the Kodiaks and then to Batavia for a very important 4-game series.

6-1 sim. McKormick has become the reliever we paid California for, with 2 wins and 2 saves this week. We are still waiting for the starters to make a run that resembles their ability. The Lager looks like a collection of unreliable SP and lights out MR.

The bats are alive right now. Kel was smart enough to avoid being traded by waiting to turn on the lights. Morris was decent, same with Simmons. We hit for power and average. O'Hegarty looked like he was wearing a Virginia uni...
