SIM COMPLETE - 1999 - SIM 24

[Jistic]

Looks like we'll have about the same record as last year with a worse roster. Not bad for a bunch of place holders.

Looks like from sim I forgot to set my pitching rotation. Total confusion.

UUUUGGGGGLLLLYYY! A 1-5 sim but we get shut out 4 times. What they hell? I'm sure I could go down to the local college and find nine guys who could avoid being shut out 4 times in a week.

Including 2 complete games by the Bulldogs.

Thanks!

Hey, I started calling him LMR last season. I'm almost sure someone else actually called him LMR before I did. I think that's where I got the idea to call him LMR.

He's LMR damnit!

My phone keeps timing out on the search but I swear he's got to be up there for most multi-home run games this season. He and Rex make a very dangerous 4-5.

In other news also very excited with the way Colin Reed had progressed. .270ish with 25-30 HR every year, ill gladly take that. Im so glad i didnt move him. He will not win ROY with so much talent coming up in the IL, but he easily fills the void left by the departure of Geoff Scott. Plus, I think he still had some growth left in his discernment at the plate.

Just looking at some of the top pitchers in the IL and Val Aparacio is a very interesting case.

21-4 with a 2.89 ERA but 100+ walks and just 140K? Im not knocking the guy because he is obviously doing something right, but those stats don't seem like they should translate to 20+ wins. Again not knocking him, just interested in how well he's performed despite the numbers not being "eye-popping."

Brought up Frisco Cueller to go 6-man down the stretch and ensure everyone is rested, and he responds with 6.1 IP of 1-run ball in his first start. Granted it was against Pittsburgh, but still nice to see.

In other news, RJ Curtis seems to finally be rounding into form (see what I did there?) with a 1.74 ERA in 3 September starts.

Two Things:

1) Anyone else think Frisco Cueller sounds like a gay sex move?

2) I found a sparring partner for RJ Curtis...

Curtis - 5'10 - 243
Effrain 'Gadget' Gray - 5'9" - 240

defense baby!! Maybe he has a huge groundball percentage?

Yep, IL playoffs are set. Can't wait to get eliminated by Virginia for the second season in a row.

Sorry you get eliminated by California.

We get to continue our annual sacrifice to the BLB Gods.

I'm not sure if Clay considers himself singular or more like Legion.

A gaggle... maybe a murder... certainly not a pride.

You're thinking of the Frisco Cruller.

I don't get why some people make a big deal about this. He doesn't get hit. People don't score. Doesn't give up many long balls. A walk isn't as good as a hit. My best pitcher Dewitt Pierce is the same way. If we had an offense he'd win a ton of games. Val had a great record last year too. Seems like some owners get hung up on certain stats in this game but miss the most important ones.

This was genius. I commend you.

Bitch.
