2018 Regular Season SIM 26.1 Complete - Next SIM Wednesday 10/26

You'd hope they would eventually make the playoffs picking in the top 5 for 7-8-9-10 years... we make it like these teams are at some giant disadvantage. That's not really the case at all.

Yes, and they'll have success and move up, build their budgets, payrolls, fan interest and finally revenues at which point they'll pay into the same system.

Once again my issue is the tanking for years ruining their budgets in the first place and my profits supporting it.

Well, maybe I won't rest all my starters against Philly.

You're 23-8 and I'm 17-14 over the last month. All your guys are hot and mine are cold. Just the way it goes in this game. Even if we "blow" it I'm not too upset with 2 rookies starting and a team which should stay together for a few seasons.

I'm excited that Scortch was able to guide Windy City into the postseason. Nice work!

Thank you for the kind words. It took 6 years, but I completely scrubbed all signs of Jistic's influence on the organization and got back to the playoffs. I only have 2 or 3 players that were in the system when he left remaining on the team. That's what I'm most proud of. This is legitimately my team. No riding coattails here.

It's about time. Only took 8 years of me paying for them.

Ooooh...envy looks good on you. Try this one on for size: While you're sitting home watching the Blues in the playoffs you'll be getting a letter from the league letting you know how much your check to us should be made out for. That's right, baby. In the playoffs and still taking your money. Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

You even did it without tanking!

You could do some serious damage in a short playoff series, especially if you can throw Teel, Aguilar, and Kopp.

Kopp in particular is terrifying right now. Here are his September numbers, for people not paying attention:

5 starts
33 2/3 IP
32 strikeouts
2 walks
2 HR
1.60 ERA

Teel had a 1.89 ERA in September with 48 strikeouts in 38 innings.

Aguilar was the worst of the three, with a bloated September ERA of ... yikes, 1.95.

Good luck against that.

It only takes one financial discussion to create new rivalries in the BLB.

Good talk. Congrats on your wild card. We will be back sooner rather than later.

As expected Jed Davis is outplaying D.J. Jones defending the deep ball, he will get the 5th OF / Defensive replacement Nod next year and Jones Arbitration option will be declined.

Davis can't hit either but at least has an outsanding range, with notable Hand-Eye coordination and Arm Strength and will be cheaper than Jones.

I am disappointed I didn't get nothing from Jones and he will walk for nothing after being acquired from Pawtucket for a 3rd Round pick, but this things happen.

Jones helped to close out play off games during our last year's run which finished for the 1st BLB ring for the Sharks. He will be remembered as one of the first lessons learnt from one of the best BLB Managers out there, Jones is the definition of Role Player, and I wish him nothing but the best going forward.

Another lost season unfortunately for us- congrats to Windy City for edging us out for that last playoff spot.

Is it 3 years in HS / 2 years in COL to be Draft elegible?

[Hank]

I only need New Orleans and Pittsburgh to get swept, and for Morgantown to sweep our last series for a shot at the postseason.

Winning record in September and beating up on Carolina. Looks like things are getting back to normal in Galtimore.
