In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

My team should be better now that Diego Peralta, Julio Beltran, Edward Fleming, Erubiel Sojo, Asdrubal Valenzuela and Gary Griffin are joining the ML team.

Jeez I don't think I've ever brought six rookies up at the 20 day mark before.

Thank gently caress Luis Gomez hit a grand slam in the PM2, or else my inevitable regression would've come at the hands of Jamie "Don't call me Judy" Blume, Hank Gonzales, and Stan Dixon. I know it'll come at some random time against someone lovely, but I would just prefer it to be after nasboat beats the poo poo out of me, something that is similarly inevitable.

What'd Sparky do?



Jermaine Bailey is inexplicably garbage, though.

e: Bailey has allowed 10% of my team's runs in 3% of its innings.

I had him set as available for relief because I had played a 14 inning and 15 inning game previously (so naturally I played a 10 inning game there) and my pitching staff has been stressed.

The usage doesn't bother me as much as him giving up a home run to Bill Gabriel.

Ok I just looked at the trade again from a computer and all three players are still trash. Pulido has a .293 career MiLB OBP over a pretty large sample. He's going to hit like .180/.210/.330 in the bigs (where he will never be on my team because he's going to AA).
