SIM COMPLETE - 1985 - Regular Season 1

[Andrew]

The booleans... well... I don't know their full meaning and usage... but from helping out on the Text Team for the beta testing... I know the booleans are what calls in the texts.

It's basically an on/off switch. Each injury in the database has a column for SEI. If the value in that field is 1 (on) then a SEI injury is allowed for that particular injury. If it's set to 0 (off) it's not allowed. There is also a column for CEI but they're all set to 0.

I'm half tempted to put Abe and Lang on the DL until the playoffs

pretty presumptuous to think you'd make the playoffs without them :P

Since everyone else is doing a good/bad/ugly for their team... I thought I'd do mine as well.

3-3, 2nd place in the IL Porter

Good:
Abran Lanbin - IL player of the week, .538/.538/.808, 2HR/4RBI's.
Robby Shannon - 3 HR's in 25 at bats (Leads IL) last year, 3 HR's in 157 at bats.
Elieis Vizcarra - 7.0IP, 0 runs, 6K's, 0BB's, 1-0.

Bad:
Markus's design of the bullpen - Ernesto Guzma, 4 games, D.T. Fitts, 2 games... the problem? Fitts is listed as my number one bullpen guy, and Guzma second... why he can't build a bullpen model that actually follows the order you dictate... ugh.
Starters ERA of 4.46.

Ugly:
Joe Aurillo being lost for the year... Count me in as part of the camp that doesn't like seeing the leagues best pitcher going down. (no matter how much I benefit from it).

The other thing that annoys me about SEI is how often do you hear about an injury in MLB that they immediately announce as SEI (other than pitchers needing surgery). It would be a lot more realistic if it said the guy is out at least something like 2 months but it could turn out to be an SEI. Also I do think there are way too many non-pitching SEIs.

[Delandis]

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't see it being a disproportionate amount of SEI. There have been quite a few injuries this year already and only 3 have been SEI. I think the problem is that they have been big names(Tardiff and Aurillo). This is professional baseball, shit happens.

Actually there have been five.

I didn't count Paradis because he's got a long history of injury and the other guy is a minor league player. Everyone hates injuries, especially to their key guys but it happens more often than you guys give credit for.

Chewning was our starting LF.

FUN STAT OF THE WEEK:

Sin City leads their division with a 3-3 record despite giving up 54 Earned Runs in 6 games!!! For comparison's sake... that's 3 more runs than the three IL Division Leaders COMBINED.

[Spectre]

As usual, pen blows two games and we go winless... YAY :)

Minor league season is thankfully underway too

Kill me now.

Kill me now.

The sad part it... he opened the season looking even better than last year... if that's possible.

The "Do It For Bluto" T-shirts are selling like hotca....well... Cheesesteaks in Philly this year.
