2016 Regular Season SIM 2 Complete - Next SIM Mon 04/04

Weird stuff going on in the rainout makeup games. The game against Syracuse has only like 6-7 innings worth of pitchers and my starter only went 1.1 innings only giving up a run and a hit before being yanked.

Have I mentioned how stupid diagnosis pending is in a universe where we handle transactions weekly rather than daily?

I agree.

I prefer realism but not when it only makes sense in the context of daily sims. Same thing goes for rainouts.

There is eight innings worth of pitchers:

J. Marrujo 1.1
J. Bonilla 2.0
E. Johnstone 2.2
J. Raymer 0.2
T. Watkins 1.1
TOTAL 8 IP

The reason there isn't nine is because Syracuse was at home and didn't need to bat again in the bottom of the 9th. They had already won 1-9.

However, there is definitely something messed up with the AI for rainouts. Jonathan Marrujo started both games of the double-header while Alejandro Ruedas didn't pitch all week.

Okay, I feel like my lineups changed this sim, without me touching them. I think my pitch counts changed too, but I'm not sure.

Anyone else noticing this?

Gonna keep a closer eye on them next sim and see what happens.

I noticed I needed to uncheck the "sync lineups to depth charts" located upper right side since it's kept changing my manual setups. Not sure it affects pitchers.

Uncheck it and see if it helps.

This is a big problem.

We can't have AI managers starting pitchers in both games of a double header.

I really think we need to get rid of rain outs ASAP before guys start getting hurt from this shit.

Shit, youre right. Total brain fart.

This rainout fearure sucks.

Worth a shot.

Rainouts seem to be a real problems. It's a good thing no one has 81 home dates in a city like Seattle this year. 😜

Wow some nice hitting at the top of the draft. Pitching seems just ok, but we need more Aces working thru the systems like we need a whole in the head.

Still, quick rating I'd say a solid B. We certainly have had worse.

One caveat to this rating. We currently have a "Highly favors tools" scout and Tool scouts tends to be a lot of sunshine and rainbows.

I also know who the first pick should be and I once again disagree with what my scout says.

5-1 for the Bulldogs as we entertain the home fans with a encouraging week.

As expected, Murillo is knocking the cover off of the ball in Phillips Field but what hadn't been expected is the early success of Diego Flores. He is terrible at first base (and likely at catcher) but he's been great offensively in the first two weeks of the season. He and Otero do a damn good job of setting the table for Murillo.

Another guy to watch is rookie infielder, J.J. Carver.

He's had a fast start to his first 17 AB with 8 hits (2 doubles, 2 home runs), 2 walks and 3 strikeouts. Similar to his teammate Malik Roberson, hopefully he could just be one of those guys that my scout really doesn't care for ratings wise, but gets it done on the field.

On the farm, our top batting prospect, 1B D.J. Gosser (I noticed have shitload of D.J.'s and J.J.'s on my team) is looking like he may be ready soon, as well as SP Jimmy Cooper (AAA), SP Zack Cook (AAA) and new Top 100 prospect, SP D.J. Gillespie (AA).

Hmm.

Also in the WC standings it now shows how far UP the #1 wildcard is above the #2 wildcard.

Or did it always show that?
