Fortunately, the people found a mighty Rosenthal, called Trevor.

At least four of those seasons has been me seeing how long he'll stick around

Overall rating of 7 at age 45 is brilliant

I've got this 40 year old in 7jerry7 who's still playing, despite never being in the majors. We're in season 30 now, in between seasons 12 and 21, he was never picked up by a team.

Pitching is the art of instilling fear.
With 55 games to go, the Metropolitans have already won as many games as they did last year!

Oh, there's plenty of other balls in the sea. Plus, you're not very talented.
So I've never seen a trade process in less than 24 hours, I have to assume this one did because it was functionally the same as the nullified trade. Does anyone have any experience with this happening?

I am going to guess it is a bug in their system and not something that was suppose to happen.

What the gently caress, how is that possible? My rookie ballers retire at like age 25.

question: I have my line-up all set, but the manager keeps putting in different players when the games start. For some reason, my pitcher was put in at DH in one game. Why?

BURLAP SATCHEL OF CRACKERJACKS

Unrelated to my team completely making GBS threads the bed lately, my youngling is due to be birthed next week and I'm not sure I will have time for WiS in the near future. This isn't notice of having to leave yet, but keep it in mind that I may need to ask somebody to become a caretaker for the team (and then make like one or two minor moves next year and win the WS).

The fun part about having a kid is that you don't think you're going to have time for crap like this but it actually turns out you have more time for crap like this because you never leave the loving house anymore.

Seconding this hard. Like the first week or two you do not have time but after that all you have is time while they nap and poo poo but you can not go anywhere.

He has decent velocity and a plus pitch and he's got good durability. He's nothing great though.

Kennie O'Brien will be available in the off season in the event I (most likely) miss the playoffs again. Prospects or massively low service time guys in non-"Add up the WARs" packages. Get at me, thanks.

I'm in favor of booting him out. He's been made aware of it multiple times and has responded so he clearly knows. But he doesn't seem to give a poo poo so I'm of the opinion we sort it out sooner rather than later.

He made 6 pitching additions on Tuesday, so the idea he gives zero shits is just patently untrue.

There's only a real-time week and a half left in the regular season. I'm sure he'll reevaluate whether he wants to stay on once it ends, but I'm not replacing him without him requesting it. There's no basis to right now.

OK I was not aware he'd actually made transactions, just seemed like it had been a consistent issue and all the box scores I checked had fatigued starters and 0 stamina bullpen guys going.

It's going to be very tough sledding until expanded rosters as I'm sure most of the guys are in the negatives below 0(0), but there's at least been some maintenance.

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.
35 games to go, Nasboat and I are tied atop the ALN at 82-45. and I end the season hosting a three game series with Seattle.

Now watch me go 0 for the next 32 and be completely out of it by then.

Note that Stu Roosevelt sitting at 18th was a Clevelander until the trade deadline.

Melky already has the fourth highest steals total in franchise history with 35 games to go. he needs 10 to claim the top spot.
