2044 WBL Season Thread

[Orlando]

I think I made it to the shampship like 8 years in a row in the UBL. OU and I had some crazy series.

 

[Yankee151]

That was a different league though

 

[osick87]

How has Dawud been since you picked him up @osick87 ? I was bidding on him briefly.

Only have had him in for a week. Will try to remember to keep you posted

 

[doh]

I won 3 LCS I believe. No ships.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Doh and one doh that didn't win a ship

 

[Mr. Radpants]

That was a different league though

Yeah you're really bucking the UBL trends

 

[OU11]

I'm about to sim soon, gonna go out tonight so I doubt I'd get it done otbetwise

 

[OU11]

Fucking Raul Torres.

 

[Orlando]

What happened?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Blew his knee out, so he'll be healthy around the time he's hitting arb, lol

 

[fignuts]

Chesters out for 4-5 mo w/ bone spurs in his elbow.

 

[Orlando]

Dislike

 

[Wendell Gee]

Liu-liang bats cleanup and was hitting .268 with 6 HR.

Las Vegas Pac Men: CL Gary Zhou was injured while pitching. The Diagnosis: shoulder inflammation. He's expected to miss about 3-4 months.

Cairo Tutankhamuns: SP Paul Chesters was injured while pitching. The Diagnosis: surgery to remove bone spur (elbow). He's expected to miss about 4-5 months.
Season ender for Cairo too. Chester the #3 guy in the rotation, 4-2 in 9 starts with 3.10 ERA and 1.20 WHIP.

 

[osick87]

I had a good week. In Didier we trust.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Enquist is my favorte player ever. Dude is amazing.

 

[Wendell Gee]

Oh man. Bad news bears here.

Amsterdam Tulips: Failed to sign 1st round draft pick Peadar Sargant.
Berlin Bomber Bears: Failed to sign 1st round draft pick Jon Funk.
Key West Pirates: Failed to sign 1st round draft pick Dave McGill.
Key West Pirates: Failed to sign 2nd round draft pick Vitenka Wolfkovich.
Australia All Whites: Failed to sign 2nd round draft pick Jack Jones.

 

[OU11]

Funk not signing is cray

 

[Wendell Gee]

Looks like Rutgers Mike had to Give up the Funk.

 

[doh]

So I had a SP throw in a relief my first game and it completely fucked up my week

I even had my catcher pitch in a game. Fuck this game.

Zhou out 3-4 months? Time to tank.

That's your fault

 

[Gooksta]

My jv team beat las vegas 22-4

 

[Orlando]

You take that risk with a 6 man rotation. High scoring extra innings game uses a lot of pitchers. Then the next game KW put up 22 and you ran out of pitchers again. Set your strategies to slow hook in blowouts.

jv problems

 

[doh]

Allow SP in relief = no. My only week doing six man to get Franco into the rotation who was fucked up because of his AAA games.

 

[Orlando]

It really only messed up the one game.

 

[OU11]

End of the world

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Bartolo got lit up in his first AA start. What a bust.

 

[OU11]

Torres ultimate bust

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Will take Torres or Bartolo.

 

[OU11]

Going to let Torres go to FA instead of offering arb

 

[Wendell Gee]

He'll be lucky to get a minor league contract.

 

[fignuts]

In need of a third baseman shortstop or a second baseman. Have eight mill to take on the season. Was like someone under the age of 26. Anyone interested in making the deal?

 

[OU11]

You can get what's his name on my team. He makes 10M tho

 

[fignuts]

Am interested. Would need to change his nickname to dirty for g's and s's.

 

[Wendell Gee]

Somebody's 1st round Moscow pick is going to be unexpectedly valuable.... Berlin, that would be you, my friend.

 

[Orlando]

Eff you tulips.

 

[fignuts]

Is the OU request line closed for the time being? Cairo fax of roster moves was lost due to an oil shortage crisis plaguing the Middle East.

 

[OU11]

No but I forgot. You still out of town? I'll set an alarm

 

[fignuts]

Was at Freaknight (edm 2-day concert) past 2 evenings.
Stayed at sisters place downtown and didn't have the opportunity to consult with the Assistant GM yesterday.
Not a big issue, tbh.

Noted. 2044 is a strange world of fuel cells, Bloom Boxes, and water powered cars.

 

[OU11]

Tulips play better without torres

 

[Wendell Gee]

Enquist is my favorte player ever. Dude is amazing.

I've become a Linus fan myself from looking at box scores. He is Mr. Clutch. Drafted 1-4 in 2040. I wonder who was drafted before him....

 

[Wendell Gee]

Speaking of offense, here's a rule change I didn't know about. Word.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Woah.

 

[Gooksta]

awesome!

 

[Wendell Gee]

I talked about the change in BA/ERA in one of my early vidyas but didn't know about the post-2037 mound height change.

 

[Yankee151]

2033/34 never forget

 

[OU11]

They need to raise that ish back up

 

[Mr. Radpants]

What's the difference, Hamsterdam wins every year regardless of mound height

 

[OU11]

Hamsterdam has only won with reduced mound height, your hypothesis cannot advance to theory
