2021 Regular Season SIM 2 Complete - Next SIM Sat 4/22

[Sully]

I think we are going to call up #7 prospect Kevin Langford and plug him in at 3b. He should be ready. Won't give us much defensively, but we are pretty strong everywhere else. We are hoping his bat makes up for it.

Our oldest starting position player is 25.

[Matt]

Ok, someone help me. What the fuck am I reading wrong? I had the proper amount of players when I cut my teams down. Now I have a really good Catcher on fucking waivers after this sim? Seriously? Why?

All my rosters except for Single A were cut to 25.

Well for one you haven't exported since Monday. So you missed Tuesday's SIM.

Secondly anyone I placed on Waivers had the option of "Pull back" if selected so you won't lose them. I start with the first SP, then MR, then C, then 1B, etc...

[BradZ]

Small sample size for sure, but our pitching is actually holding down the fort. Our offense is atrocious.

Also, for better or for worse, Ian Tendick is going to get every opportunity to learn CF on the job. We don't have another starting caliber, natural CF on the roster. Manny Becerra has proven over and over that he can't handle it, so we'll take a likely washout season and see if Tendick can handle the job going forward.

You have zero competition in the Stout this year. As long as you stay healthy you'll win 100 games and everyone else will struggle to win 85.

I, again, appreciate your willingness to concede the race to me so early. I still don't think the rest of the division will be so accommodating. Still a long way to go and I see several teams that I think can get to 90 wins if things break their way.

I've only played one team that made the playoffs last year and you beat me 2 out of 3.

[Matt]

You're gonna dominate. Playoffs are a crap shoot so I won't annoint you champ yet but you're a lock to get there.

The drop off has been precipitous to say the least. Philly batters do not age gracefully.

A 3-3 week for Davenport. Lost 2 of 3 to Denver but took 2 of 3 from Death Valley. I'm pleased to see that the youngsters on the team are off to a very good start. Just hoping that when the crash comes for them it isn't too bad.

[Pat]

This is a real buzz kill.

I feel like in previous versions, I could maybe climb back into the race by mid-season. Or at-least have hopes of being competitive as we go forward. But in the new OOTP, team chemistry snowballs so fast that nearly my entire team is angry right now.

When this happened last year I had a half dozen emails or so saying the locker room was affecting performance. Multiple trade demands. Etc.

The guys 34 and been playing full time since 22. Over 1900 games counting the playoffs. Not a bad career!

It was a good season!

I'm just trying to get back in the black this year and upcoming. Perritt was my locker room guy. I'm interested to see who steps up now.

[Hank]

Am I reading that right? Seattle has just 1 win through 11 games. Give them the #1 pick now.

Hold my beer.

I think so. Getting that one win against last years Bock champions, Denver, might be the highlight of our season.

My locker room guy, OF Oscar SancheZ went from "very happy" to "angry" in just two sims. This shit is going to get ugly real quick. 10 of my players are angry. `8 are very unhappy. 3 unhappy. The only player with a positive attitude attitude has only been on the roster a week,

[Hank]

I see I have Dallas up next sim.
Gotta get myself ready for another winning series.

I scolded my guys for this. 2-1 loss. Pathetic.

I think Murillo was auditioning for Denver.
