2020 SIM 4 Complete - Next SIM Tues 2/13

[Guest]

The Pythag gods are back to exact revenge after I was +7 last year.

I have faith that we'll turn it around though. The pitching has been everything I could ask for so far, just need the offense to do their jobs.

Files due by 3 am ET | 12 am PT

File is up. Reports and Utility shortly.

Stat of the Day!

DFA: Where do I start? Bal, Cal, Den, LA, LAD, Maine, NO, NY, Phi, Pit, Syr, Was, Wil
Roster: Pittsburgh
Single A Age:Car, Phi, Was, NO

I released DiPrima in my export.

Same issue.

[Carlos]

Somehow, I blame Carlos for all of this.

Duh!

Dave Sliney has exploded.

He's leading the league in steals, catching every fly ball, and batting .325. And he's not just a singles hitter; he has pop, too.

He's second in the Domestic League with 1.6 WAR.

Idk how there's a roster issue, I've made the changes needed to ensure the roster was fine. Only thing would be because of MLFA and waiver claims that I made this sim

But!! I will straighten that up this sim.

Every week Pawtucket's defense gets worse. 17 errors, .671DEF and lets not even talk about our range.

2B Doss won a DWI at every level and now he's having an issue at the BLB level?? We've been really trying to make every improvement we can do, but seems nothing is helping. Kind of blows when you primarily work with pitch to contact groundball pitchers with hole in your D.

Looking into strategy right now, but can someone point me to the "CATCH THE FUCKEN BALL" slider?

I'm guessing it's rookie jitters with Doss. He'll be okay.

We're sitting at 15-10 despite not hitting like we did last year. Hopefully the bats will come around as the weather heats up!

Ted Hatch is back. He's moving into the 3 spot in the rotation. Looking forward to seeing how he handles the new move to the rotation.

I am also 100% sure that my DFA was clear, and am also sure that I exported, multiple times even, after it was good. I don't know what's going on.

My team, however, just isn't any good right now.

After focusing this offseason on pitching and defence, both have let me down. Free Agent setup/closer Terry Krause has been a disaster, and my middle of infield of Morla and Wilkinson have defended well below their stellar defensive history. This is not a good sign on a team with as extreme roundball focus.

[Matt]

That's weird about the DFA, because I know I cleaned mine up. I left two guys on: one still had 7 days left and the other 21.

You had something like 10 guys.

So it is a game issue. Which really sucks because I have no idea how to fix it and it's really going to screw things up.

Morla's defensive stats are probably just a slump or small sample size, but Wilkinson is 34 and suffered a major defensive dropoff last year in Philly. The latter's defensive prowess is in the rear view.

Carlos, squid, anyone else in other OOTP 17 leagues, can you speak as to whether this issue is one your other leagues encountered?

Damn that Philadelphia! I,m hoping its a small sample size as well.

Is everyone on the latest version?
