SIM COMPLETE - 1984 - ST 2

[Andrew]

Next sim: Thursday

Unfortunately Robby had to step down for personal reasons. He didn't go into details but it sounds like he'll be taking a break from text sims for awhile.

I added some players to the Los Lunas roster to get them up to 24 and hopefully we'll get a new owner in there before Thursday. If we are unable to, Opening day might be pushed back until Sunday.

[Ryan]

Wow, hope Robby is alright.

[Sully]

Fool me twice, shame on me.

[Jistic]

Fool me twice, shame on me.

I voted no!

If he's got personal issues, I wish him well. Otherwise, we're 0-2 with returning owners.

Anyway we lose Tilbrook for half the season. This really hurts, but at least we can move Kirby to 1B and have a strong C rotation.

[Ryan]

Wow, Olbera is out for the season. We had very little starting pitching going into the season, now we have none. Damn.

[Sully]

Injuries hit hard this preseason. I guess I'm lucky that Gorrie's 2 weeker happened 2 weeks ago.

[Pat]

Washington finishes the spring with a league best 19-5 record. We had one injury, #5 OF Tony Rajanna goes down for two weeks.

[Z]

Ugh, Rochs is down.

[Spectre]

I hope Robby is well too

I've about had it with injuries

Carranza is hurt and then his ratings take a hit. That trade for Nakano and Carranza looks stupid as hell now. I must have the worst scouts/development people in the league.

I then get that compounded by my scouts telling me two of my pitchers in A ball took ratings hit- I'm still waiting for a scout to tell me that one of my players actually got better. This is, for lack of a better word, depressing :) I hope it will eventually get better.

...and the injury of the week...

Syracuse Slammers: M. Gonez was injured while trying to get his child out into the car seat. The Diagnosis: strained rib cage muscle. He's expected to miss about 6-7 weeks.

That's one heavy kid!

At the time of the trade, I really thought you got the far better end of the deal. But if both are getting hurt, taking ratings hits, and not playing....score one for me!

...and the injury of the week...

[Lintyfresh85]

Only lost a MR for about a week.

Not a bad pre-season for California.

My squad is the anti-Playboys

If a player comes here, they get ratings hit in about 1-2 months without a doubt. No more than two players from my first two drafts have any shot of BLB careers. Both pitchers I took at the top of Round 2 last year took ratings hits at the same time last season. Just once I want to get a message saying, "He's impressed in side sessions" instead of "he's struggling in batting practice/in side sessions"

[Clay]

I lost another starting pitcher pressing Simone Bertetto into a spot in the rotation. Bertetto, a former Top 100 Prospect, could never shake the walks and will hopefully struggle through the 5 or 6 starts I need from him before Oyos returns.
