also because of a recent injury on my pitching staff Hensley Aspromonte may get to make his ML debut against the Salem murder machine, this could be the most lopsided contest in HBD history

I did just get swept for the first time this season by Hartford. vOv

Also if I were you I'd change manager settings so you don't pull your starters down 4 in the 6th inning.

Just posted this in world chat but the sell is gonna happen. the trade block is limited to 10 but essentially any player can be had, minus Elcano and Luke who you would have to overpay for massively to pick up

Sanchez is definitely available, and even with lower velo the dude's still got the best relief splits in town so he can help you

This dude is probably the top player in the 7jerry7 draft. If he actually makes those projections, he's probably the best reliever i've ever seen.

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.

spoilers: he won't

a 20 year old with 45 makeup ain't getting 30+ points in every category

I mean he'll probably still be a useful reliever but
