2009 Regular Season SIM 23 Complete - Next SIM Monday 12/29

[funclown]

It's definitely going to be a tight run to the finish. Not sure the schedule is in our favor either. This season has been one of the more interesting in years.

It's really not helping you that two veterans just are having gross seasons. Jimmy Jones is a -8 WAR swing (that's huge). And 'Fury' is a -3 WAR versus the prior year.

Maybe these 2 can't exist on the same team?

Yup, everyone is off this season in my line-up except for Ingle and Tom Cole. Without them we're probably a .500 baseball team. We just can't hit for some reason.

4-3 Sim to keep pace in the race for the best record in the game. Huge weekend set upcoming with Denver so I adjusted my rotation to ensure that Thomas/Bermudez/Rocha are the three that will be going that series.

Need to get continued production from the MVP who won't win the MVP even though he's been the offensive leader in WAR from the beginning of the year, Ethan Bafford. Closing in on the completion of his first BLB season with a .320/.391/.586/.976 slash line, outstanding defense, and 4 SB away from a 30 2B, 30 HR, 30 SB season. What a pleasure it has been to see him dominate this season. Wish him nothing but success and good health.

Other players who've been having great success are Jordan Camejo, Travis Wallis, Tom Griffiths, last year's newcomer of the year Damian Dowling and as of recently Fred Schubert. Each of these players have had success before and if they can click and find a groove... there should be success to follow.

Also, Gargoyle has fit in nicely with his new club, as he now is responsible for making sure opponents do not get the chance to score runs in the 8th inning. He's been as-advertised thus far.

Go Millers.

You are such a great addition.

Also, this is the 6th straight season that the Pittsburgh Millers franchise has won 90+ games. Not sure what the history of the league is in that regards, but still an awesome accomplishment for the team!


Especially the almost full year that I've contributed lol.

[mike]

You are such a great addition.

Thanks Pat!

You are such a great addition.

Moving Schubert to DH to try to keep him healthy was a shrewd move.

Been suggesting it for years...

I lost the Triple-A Championship...probably would have won had I kept my young studs on the roster...but we got our eyes on the Brewmaster's.

When Duffy puts up 21 k with just 1 walk, it's probably going to be a good week.

When Duffy puts up 21 k with just 1 walk, it's probably going to be a good week.

Including his two starts before that...he's 33 K to 1 BB.

#1 in the BLB in K/BB ratio and #1 in WHIP.

It will be interesting to see how the voters go on this.

McPherson is closing in on Bafford's WAR while leading the league in RC/27, VORP, OPS, BA, OBP, etc.

But Dunn has the traditional stats, pacing the league in home runs and RBI. It's not even close.

And behind him is Henry Rodrigues who gets close one week only to see Dunn lap him.

I think McPherson and Rodrigues end up taking votes from each other and it will make things interesting.

He's taking a trip down the rabbit hole in the Goodbye Thread.



Yep. He's a keeper.

[Spectre]

Awards voting is going to be interesting this year for sure

[mike]

Well goddamn. That sure as hell was an interesting scandal. I've found myself becoming more and more "obsessed" with this league (tho obsessed is such a dirty word) but I couldn't imagine going through those lengths to actually win.


....That being said if anyone wants to make 5$ if they could go ahead and make Bafford and Schubert 1,1,1,1 injury ratings that would be fantastic haha.
