I have done the conversion to OOTP 20 and was going to send out a file but it's several GB's. I'm trying to trim it down. For those that wish I have uploaded the final OOTP 19 file that I used for the conversion. If you wish to convert yourself via OOTP 20 please feel free.

If you convert and can export please post here. If not we'll try to fix it or you can wait to see if the monster file I will upload might fix things.

[Matt]

Also congrats to Ryan and the Wilmington Clowns!

On to OOTP '20 as we close in on BLB season 60.

[Pat]

Thanks Matt! Really appreciate the availability to do the live sims and all the work with the conversion. And thanks to Brad for another great season.

Congrats Ryan! What a story. Hottest team in baseball the final two weeks to sneak in and beat a 96 win Hartford team, a 105 win Syracuse team, a 95 win Pittsburgh team and a 94 win Seattle team to take home your first ever Brewmaster's. Not to mention, Wilmington was the "road team" for all four series, winning three of those series at the other teams park. Impressive!

The Pilots lose Game Seven of the Brewmaster's, in Seattle, for the second consecutive year but this one doesn't hurt as much considering the players we lost in the off-season, the injuries in the playoffs and just the luck it took to get there. We barely won the Bock and got taken to Game Six against both Batavia and Baltimore. Losing SP Danny Ley for 14 months in Game Five of the ILDS, while he was six innings into a perfect game, is a real bummer. If you put the entire Pilots organization on the trade block a month ago, he's probably my top asset in the entire organization. I embrace the challenge and hope the kid can at least recover to be a serviceable player in two years.

As it currently stands, the #1, #8, #15 and #19 hitters are set to be FAs. Also, the #11, #12, #16 and #18 pitchers as well.

Congrats to Ryan.

And congrats to Pat to making it to two straight championship series though without the desired result.


If you look at the history the right way, the Indianapolis Clowns finally won. This is my approved timeline.

California is in!

Congrats Ryan!

[Ryan]

Thanks guys, what a run!

[PaulC]

Thanks guys, what a run!

Oh! It was this Ryan... Never mind!

Thanks Matt for the live sims.

Congrats to Ryan, the new king of the BLB. Quite a run by the Clowns through the postseason from the #6 seed in the DL. And congrats to Pat as well, for continuing his dominance of the IL playoffs - I think that's 6 IL pennants in the last 10 seasons.

As for my Bats, it was another disappointing playoff loss, to yet another #6 seed from the IL. We'd been the best hitting team in the IL all season - by a solid margin - but we weren't able to solve Allen from the Tobs and only put up 6 runs in the 3 games we lost. I think we're like 0-6 in one-run games over the past 2 playoff appearances, so it's back to the drawing board. I face a ton of big decisions this offseason with many of my best players out of contract or in arbitrtation. We had opt outs from Killian Pena, Pat Arballo, and Kaleb Purvis. Not unexpected, but it would be some big holes if I let them walk. Pena is set to auto renew because of his service time, but I may grant him his wish to test free agency. I've updated my trade block to reflect the situation, but it's all in flux at the moment.

That's sounds like a perfect plan... Seattle worked a -40 WAR right to the final!
