2023 Regular Season SIM 11 Complete - Next SIM Thursday 9/28

[funclown]

Too many words to read Pat. I'm a millennial with short attention span.

Overall recap:

you signed the guy I wanted, so I talked some shit.

you returned fire with said shit talking.

Matt and Brad chime in and get their shots in on me. (Cuz duhhhhh, it's too easy.)

I reply, you reply, we have interest generated in this spat. ESPN comes into town to hear about the disagreement and this is what they get:

"To all fans please download our Millers Mania app!! Here you will get up to the second news and notes on all things Pittsburgh Millers! Interact with other fans on-line (old marketing vet trick with the hyphen.) and stay up to date on your current team!"

nobody cares.

I think your missing the fact Pawtucket just traded for 3B Jamie Davis who seeks revenge against you for what you did to him in 2018 (The rubber duckie incident)

Be afraid, be very afraid.

From deep down in my stomach, with every inch of me, I pure, straight hate you. But goddammit, do I respect you!

Finally... Tom Wright has returned... Apparently he loves the seven hole in the line up. Who knew?! 7 hits this week... 5 were long balls... That boy!

The starting pitching is coming around, but again, our only loss of the week... Another Ingle blown save... He's having a career worst year these first two months!!!!!

[PaulC]

A little late to the party, but starting healthy guys on the DL seems a hell of a lot worse than signing too many UDFAs. In fact, I thought we didn't allow that... I guess that is what I get for assuming that deep down, all owners are playing within the same set of rules. This seems like an easy rule to pass with our new rules committee.

I don't really care about the DL "abuse." It's not a rule - that I know of - and technically, as Mike states, it is used by professional teams. And one of our rules is: "You should run your team as an actual Baseball team would."

Now, keeping a healthy guy on the DL for a year? Mike, that's overboard. You have to know that. A professional team wouldn't do that.

Agreed there... I think the idea is that there are 9 guys on it apparently... 1 or 2... sure... 9, if that's what it is, and apparently some for a ridiculous length of time, seems to be taking advantage of a non rule to the extreme...

[Pat]

I like to give Mike a hard time but I really don't care about the DL issue. Like others have said, real MLB teams do this and to me, if the player is a worthy prospect or quality BLB player, Mike is going to get them back in the lineup pretty quick.

Hartford is on pace for one of their best seasons in franchise history.

I'm not sure what they're doing to hit so many homers there, but I'm sending my trainer up there to see if he can bring back a few bottles for us.

Can someone tell the NY Knights that there can be only ONE Bottom Bear!
That 1.1 is mine you effing mothereffer!

I'm already looking at the Cape Cod and NCAA ranks for who I'm getting. This team is just awful!

There are players currently listed as on the 7-day DL, who haven't played in two years, that are coaching at different affiliates. In MiLB. Right now.

But they are coaching. You're holding active players that want to play.

In the real world an agent is blasting you on ESPN.

It's all fake news.
