SIM COMPLETE - 1985 - Regular Season 26

[Pat]

Pete Kellum...when are we going to change the name of the Stout Slugger again?

[mahoney2]

Not a terrible sim. Went 1-3 against Maine and 2-1 against Pitt.

SS Hamilton Remy won Rookie of the Month for September batting .301, combined with Juan Ortiz they've won it every month since June, except for July.

I was really hoping to finish above .500 this year, but that didn't happen due to an epicly bad September. At least I finished ahead of Hartford.

Not to burst your bubble, but I think Pete Kellum actually holds the records for OBP. Trying to dig up his page right now.

EDIT - Yep, .469 in 1978 and .466 in 1980. He had a .483 OBP in 1979 but didn't qualify that year because he was hurt.

And that was back when the Import League offense was like the Dead Ball Era.

oh well... finished 3 games back. not terrible considering at one point, i was 10 games back. def. excited for next year. 3 solid starters, a dependable pen, and i can't imagine Keppel has completely lost it. hopefully i can pick up a bat or 2 during the offseason.

Alright! 6 straight wins to finish out the season and ruin draft position!

[Whale]

Well, we certainly shit the bed the final week... swept by Pitt, split 4 games with Maine, thereby completing the worst season in franchise history by 2 games.

So, what did we learn?
1. We need a big bat. Pretty much lose every game where we give up 4 or 5 runs. Send your people my way.
2. We have a lot of money to spend....a lot in the terms of Hartford money.
3. Pawtucket is a trash heap....which is actually true.
4. Ugh.

Spare change here in Washington.

Here's an interesting stat.

The Playboys starting pitching was 1st in the IL with a 3.38 ERA

The bullpen was dead last with a 4.65 ERA

Spare change here in Washington.

Chump change in Baltimore.

Not a bad way to end the season. Loved to have won the Stout, but I definitely prefer to play Philly rather than Carolina, so I really can't complain.

Abran Lanbin, who is retiring at seasons end, hit for the cycle against Virginia in a 12-0 SMASHING of Virginia. Feels good to take 3 of 4 from Virginia, preventing them their first .500 season ever. In his stint with Washington, the 39-year-old hit 15 HRs and 56 RBIs in just 86 games.

It's also really good to see SP Joe Rodriguez pitching well to finish out the season. The guy is a wildcard. He can pitch a shutout or he can last 2 innings.

The regular season was a great success for me. Set a franchise record in wins and had a top 2 lineup and a top 2 pitching staff in the DL. I just pray that I can finally advance in the playoffs.

You took 2 of 3 from me ass lips.... not 3 of 4.

Haha. So I did. So many wins against your team, it is hard to keep track.

11 of 18 on the season. How many seasons in a row now have I owned Virginia?

That's 1

Last year I was +1 against you.
