I disagree. loving up is a rite of passage. We've all done it.

Well, you've never had a right opinion ever, so there's that.

It's different when someone with 2-3 seasons makes a mistake and not someone in their first season who really doesn't get everything in such a deep game.

We never did it before and to be honest have the new owners who didn't do protects done anything at all that shows they're actually paying attention?

It's not about the owner, it's about the franchise. You're just crippling it further than it already is for the gain of the veteran owners.

Yeah, it's not like TMB picked a guy up and then flipped him for another asset. This trade was done strictly to circumvent the mechanics of the game.

except that he's getting Grebeck out of it (I would assume that Charlotte is going to send him there) and therefore he gets something for circumventing said mechanic?

Zimmer has rolled, we're in Season 3, so a chance to get a young franchise if you wanna go that route. We've had a handful of goons bail since last season ( :( ) but there's still plenty of us around. Should have about 4-5 openings, including a few teams with top 6 picks.

I'm coming back on Thursday.

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

Ahahaha extras again. Good thing I have some pitchers coming at the part 2 of this cycle.

Have you considered just winning in regulation? I mean, AV knows when the 9th inning is. You should try just winning in 9.

I'm just totally cool with you losing all the games though. The Focus need to take this division over with all the young, prime talent.

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

Your NL Cy Young ballot, presently:

Chick Wehner (arguably the best pitcher in Dimaggio)
Lewis Stammen (ERA above 5 two of the last four seasons)
Matt Cambridge (career 4.37 ERA)
Orlando Mercedes (solid 2/3, career 3.93 ERA)
Jerrod Riley (JERROD RILEY??? )

Real talk, I didn't want to trade Riley because I felt he had some potential, but assbutt convinced me he wasn't worth it. and gently caress Ismael Barrios, he should be on my team.

But would this be the year of Hartford without Alcides DeRojas?

I dunno. Abernathy has hit well, but his RBIs are down because guys like Slim Norton, Salvador Martin, and DeRojas have been driving them in better than last season. DeRojas has had a great season though.
