Call Your Shots -- 1984

[Lintyfresh85]

If no one gets hurt... I'll definitely have three 10 game winners.

Even horrible pitchers can usually win one game every couple of starts.

[Pat]

I'd be willing to bet that Washington has a better shot at 3 20 game winners than Cali has at 3 10's.

Wow....for a second there I thought that was a compliment for Washington from Clay...but its more of a bash against Cali.

[Jake]

Maureno Gonez will be a darkhorse candidate for DL ROY (thank God he's not in the IL, he probably wouldn't even get top 15)

Roger Morgan will be the BLB's slowest leadoff guy

The race for second place in the new Pilsner will go down to the last week, about 15-20 games behind first place Denver.

[Lintyfresh85]

California will finish in the top two in the Porter Division and win the Wild Card.

[Clay]

Someone took a shot alright. I'll give you an outside chance at Top 2 in the Porter... but I think the Wildcard is a HUGE stretch with the number of good teams in the IL.

[Jake]

California will finish in the bottom two of the Porter Division.



We might finish last in the Pilsner though, so no offense, linty.

Someone might as well have shot O'Loughlin, he probably would have recovered faster.

Go big or go home. I feel like we've got a lot of Florida Marlins in the team. A ton of young talent (waiting in the wings)... just not sure if they can pull it together or mesh together as a unit.

* Of course this is all provided we avoid injuries.

[Pat]

From this...

California will lose less than 100 games!

To this....

California will finish in the top two in the Porter Division and win the Wild Card.

Everyone gets a taste of ST and goes crazy.

[Clay]

Not me... I'm actually feel worse after this first ST sim.

[Jistic]

I'll say it this year, I say it every year. Spring Training means nothing, except getting guys some work, and avoiding injury. Just like real life. I can't tell you how many Spring Training all-stars I've had that just suck in the regular season.

It's like people that get excited about their NFL teams going 4-0 in pre-season. It just doesn't matter.

[Clay]

That's not the root of my dissappointment (or less excited-ness). I lost my Ace for two months and the back-to-back (d2d into OUT) injuries to Danny Nelson (another starter) appear to have resulted in a ratings hit.

THAT is enough to go on.

[Pat]

Wasn't "this the year" that Danny Nelson was supposed to hit 30 HRs and 100 RBIs?

[Clay]

Yep. I hate that shit. Inexcusable that there isn't a managerial setting to sit injured players.

Yep.
