2025 Regular Season SIM 19 Complete - Next SIM Sat 2/24

And I’m going to be viewed as incompetent and a shitty GM until I win a division or a Brew, and it’s never going to happen as things currently stand. So where the fuck does that leave me?

Like yeah, it’s only a game, but something I and most others put a ton of time into. So again, I have no actual success to prove that I know what I’m doing and that I’m not a moron, so that’s my image as long as KC and NO keep pulling this shit, and it’s frustrating to me that I have the reputation as “dumb asshole doesn’t know what he’s doing” and I can’t break that narrative no matter which trades or signings I make.

I don't know where you are seeing this "narrative."

You took over a team that had gone 76-86, had one playoff appearance in six years and hasn't had three consecutive playoff appearances since 2002-2005. Indy is on pace for their fourth consecutive 91+ win season and their fourth straight playoff appearance. The 2023 and 2026 season (on pace) are the highest win totals in ten years and along with the 2015 season, are the only seasons 93+ wins since 2004.

Since you rejoined the league, the only teams in the entire BLB with a .562 winning percentage (or better) in EACH of the last four seasons (2025 included) are: Indianapolis and Kansas City. Not Pitt. Not Baltimore. Not Seattle. Not DVS. Not Pawtucket. Not Washington. Not Toronto.

We all know the playoffs and ultimately the Brewmaster's is a lot of dice rolls and luck.

Appreciate the sentiment...to me, that really doesn’t equal success. I’ve won 1 playoff series (with the worst playoff team I’ve personally had) and 0 Brewmasters.

It’s like Orioles fans who bring up the fact that we had the best cumulative record in the AL from 2012-16. Congrats, but it doesn’t mean shit because we have no World Series to show for it.

Just have a 10+ year playoff drought like us and you will be good. I think we're getting close. McCormick looks like a stud. Dave Davis is going to be really good. Tom Lyon is already playing exceptionally well. Victor Romero is a plus hitter. Dave Bickford will be an excellent 2B and may move Davis to 3B soon. Surprisingly, its the starting pitching that is hurting us right now. Once my rotation gets back to NYK glory days we will be a competitor- not sure when that will be though.

Not at all saying I've suffered more then you, but I do know the pain even if it was a long time ago. I remember being up 3-2 going back to Pawtucket with my Aces then "downloading" the final sim and get the message "You lost in the Brewmaster 4-3 to that dick Pat for the 2nd straight year"

I'm sure Brad felt the same when we finally won our first against Philly.

The BLB is mostly filled with pain. Lol, makes us wonder why we do it ??? Ha Ha Ha.
