SIM COMPLETE - 1983 - Regular Season 9

[Clay]

two for me... add that to the two other I've already received. So I guess that makes four for California.

I've had a couple "I want to stay in Virginia" emails to begin the year so I thought maybe the tides were turning... well... the bottom falls out.

All in all though, I don't hate how my team's playing...we're just Virginia.

Robbins had 9 RBI in his first week with Davenport. The best offense in the IL just got better.

Yeah, thanks for that!

I need this infusion of draft picks on Tuesday. My Single A team has been a fargin' MASH unit...

I have no healthy pitching left down there. I may have to start "The Skull" in A ball just for a warm body. Then again, there's something in the water down there. It's where prospects go to die.

[Sully]

I'm hoping any of the arms I drafted can step in and be effective. My pitching in the minors has been horrible.

[Clay]

Yeah, I don't have a single arm left in my minors where I go "can't wait to see him in the BLB".

[Sully]

Well, I have Day now...but that's about it.

[Jistic]

Injured guys in the minors don't count against our 30 do they? If you got a guy out for the year, you can't move him. You can't DL minor leaguers.

[Andrew]

Injured guys in the minors don't count against our 30 do they? If you got a guy out for the year, you can't move him. You can't DL minor leaguers.

Yes, they do. That's why the roster limits are 30 instead of 25. This game really needs a minor league DL though.

[Jistic]

Yes, they do. That's why the roster limits are 30 instead of 25. This game really needs a minor league DL though.

That sucks.

[Andrew]

That sucks.

All the rules I make suck. Why should this one be any different.

[Jistic]

All the rules I make suck. Why should this one be any different.

No just some of them.

[Clay]

No, they're all good until they effect Jistic's team... then they suck.

[Ryan]

And so begins the "I want out of Virginia" emails. I got 3 this sim.

I have a feeling I'll start to get some myself. We're still a game over .500, but some of my guys are starting to get pissed about the teams performance.

2-5 this sim just sucks. I had very little good pitching this sim and even less hitting. Bring on those rookies!

[Jistic]

No, they're all good until they effect Jistic's team... then they suck.


(Runs out of room)

I'm just an island. Everyone wants to change things, and I am the one who votes against. Then when I think we should change things, people say they want to talk about it and go slow.....then they don't talk about it.

I may dissent, but always go along with the majority decision. I just don't do the back room politicking thing.

Forget just it's effect on your A team. You have a strong minor league system and I think that'll be the true answer to Virginia being successful.
