2044 WBL Season Thread

[Wolfman21]

The Good: Ruiz and Chavez are swinging a hot bat and Chavez has gone a full month without getting injured.

The Bad: I'm now 4-13 in June, have slipped 10 games under .500 and in a proverbial tie for next to last in the SL. My pitching is ranked next to last in every category and my bats are ranked practically 6th out of 8 in every meaningful category.

What this means? My team sucks but is very young. I need some bats that get on base to insert into my lineup and i'm just not sure if I have them in my farm system. My pitchers growing up as well as adding Pasquet next year should help but I'm not sure if they as a group are a playoff contending pitching staff.

Can someone explain why Soto has started consecutive games three times this season?

I'm thinking that it was when Jordan and bin Alzhar went down and the Spudbrain AI put Soto in again. I don't know if I've had a 3rd injury though.

6 Man Rotation time.

 

[Orlando]

Neither is Bug

We don't know bout him yet.

 

[osick87]

As for the Millen trade,

I traded an aging (30) asset that was cheap and will continue to be cheap (750k arb estimate) for an OF that likely will be a nice 4th OF and can start in a pinch and a SP (@Yankee151 had him as a closer) that looks like he'll be a good piece and at worst a Bullpen arm. Might not have been the best return but it was what I was sort of expecting to get.

 

[Orlando]

@Yankee151 you ready to trade for your first back yet?

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Buffalo 9-1 to take 1st by 1 game. Holy. Moly.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

We don't know bout him yet.

Don't let your anger drive you to illogical conclusions.

 

[Wolfman21]

Good to see Buffalo living up to expectations. Gonna be a hell of a 3-way battle in the South with Buff/Cairo/False Bay

 

[Orlando]

Don't let your anger drive you to illogical conclusions.

wat.

 

[OU11]

I think the best part of the WBL will be orlando and jd going back and forth about bug for the next 4 years

 

[Gooksta]

Good to see Buffalo living up to expectations. Gonna be a hell of a 3-way battle in the South with Buff/Cairo/False Bay

 

[jdlikewhoa]

wat.

He's the GOAT and he's not yours. Get over it.

 

[Wolfman21]

lol, sorry @Gooksta, my cruddy team just took 2/3 from you while Buffalo, Cairo and False Bay have all swept me in the past 2 weeks....i can't put you in the conversation with those other 3 teams after that.

 

[Orlando]

He's the GOAT and he's not yours. Get over it.

You brought him up. Do not care bout your failed prospects until I snatch them up and turn them into winners.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

I want Bug to be in A.

I'ma 'bout to go to the OU request line and request OU bump him up to A-ball tonight.

 

[OU11]

I want Bug to be in A.

I'ma 'bout to go to the OU request line and request OU bump him up to A-ball tonight.

Done deal

 

[Mr. Radpants]

He's the GOAT and he's not yours. Get over it.

Mercier is the goat

 

[OU11]

Raul Torres is the GOAT

 

[Orlando]

Bernal is the GOAT

 

[OU11]

No sorry, he is the GAOTT.

Geriatric all of the time

 

[jdlikewhoa]

I want Bug to be in A.

I'ma 'bout to go to the OU request line and request OU bump him up to A-ball tonight.

Done deal

Just to be a cock tease I'm going to leave him in the Complex until he's 20, then I'll bump him straight to the WBL like I did with Mounds

 

[Yankee151]

Bernal a fake goat

 

[OU11]

Just to be a cock tease I'm going to leave him in the Complex until he's 20, then I'll bump him straight to the WBL like I did with Mounds

Sorry, it was requested

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Sorry, it was requested

Good, so it'll get done 30 sims from now when you remember

 

[Orlando]

Bernal a fake goat

Trade with me then brah

 

[Yankee151]

I've seen the future with test sims, I'll pass 3/4 of the time

 

[jdlikewhoa]

I've seen the future with test sims, I'll pass 3/4 of the time

I adopt Rad's line of thinking on this one

 

[Orlando]

I've seen the future with test sims, I'll pass 3/4 of the time

Cheater.

 

[Yankee151]

I haven't done any sims yet He back up to 102 OPS+ though, so for now I'm passing

 

[Orlando]

Then how have you seen the future?

 

[Yankee151]

With a crystal ball

 

[Wendell Gee]

With a crystal meth

fify

 

[fignuts]

Silky and Nico the 2 true GoAT.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

With this many GOATs I'll need to clarify that Mercier is GOAT of the GOATs.

 

[Wendell Gee]

Nico not having a GOAT year. Still trying to get his groove back from Stella.

 

[Gooksta]

With this many GOATs I'll need to clarify that Mercier is GOAT of the GOATs.

He no Walker

 

[OU11]

I didn't know Kasib could get more valuable, but he did

 

[Yankee151]

Must be nice being in the kiddie league. Sitting here 3 games over .500 and 5 out of 2nd place.

 

[Gooksta]

Must be nice being in the kiddie league. Sitting here 3 games over .500 and 5 out of 2nd place.

you would be 6.5 back out of 2nd in the kiddie league.. so.. what?

 

[OU11]

you would be 6.5 back out of 2nd in the kiddie league.. so.. what?

He'd have a lot more wins

 

[Gooksta]

He'd have a lot more wins

he wouldnt allow that

 

[Gooksta]

damn fontenot

 

[Wendell Gee]

I didn't know Kasib could get more valuable, but he did

Mother of Dog. Ten more years in that prison.

 

[Wendell Gee]

damn fontenot

Just call him "Sir."

 

[Orlando]

I didn't know Kasib could get more valuable, but he did

Lowered his value for me.

 

[doh]

Going to be a hell of a race in varsity. I think six teams could get a Lamb birth. Will be interesting to see how the trade deadline goes down especially with so few sellers.

 

[Orlando]

Lots of teams battling for one spot. I wouldn't even count out Moscow.

 

[NML]

Went 4-0 against the north this sim, 0-3 against the south.

If only I was in "varsity"

 

[Wolfman21]

so half my batting order has now won SL Player of the Week honors this season. Miguel Chavez, Neanderthal, Ruiz, Hyde and Prophet have all won the honors atleast once. They just can't put it together at the same time. Need to keep this season interesting to keep the fans coming to the park. My financials SHOULD be ok by the end of the season according to the projected balance in the actual SIM...but sitting in the red halfway through the season is worrisome.

Whats funny about my starting pitching is that their WHIP's are lower combined than any rotation i've had since i've started...however their ERA's are ridiculous. I think there is gonna be a good bit of improvement out of Cross/Homicide/Sparky over the next year or so. Their ratings aren't maxed plus they are rookies. Excited for their futures...just not helping me all that much RIGHT NOW

Edited to Add: Holy cow...I just noticed I've played 49 games on the road and 28 at home. Who made these schedules? lol. I guess the good news is I'll be getting a ton of home games over the next few months.

Your team sucks. Now give me Neanderthal.
