The playoffs are certainly wacky (Marlins??? A's???, but of course STL still makes it), but that's not the most notable aberration of this universe. Is it Brett Lawrie leading the AL in WAR and the likely MVP? No. Is it Buster Posey leading the Giants to a probably MVP, alongside Brandon Belt who led the league with 113 RBI's while the pitching collapsed? Nope.

It's the return of the Freak himself, Big Time Timmy Jim:



Apparently all the Giants had to do was send Timmy back down to AAA for half a season!

:allears: This is the best universe, Dodgers winning the World Series be damned.

What does the little fire emote mean on the list?

Fire means that they're on a hot streak, and the little snowflake means a cold streak.

Simon went to Boston Latin? Neat. Though his Low Intelligence is kind of worrying, taking his school into account.

I've been in rookie ball for four seasons and my player page has no starts since 2017. Is this normal?

The player pages aren't updated:

JosefStalinator posted:

No it doesn't change - the problem is that I haven't updated the pages in two seasons. It takes hours and I keep forgetting when I go to sleep or go do things, but I'll do a round tonight and it'll be up to date.

Though being in R at 24 is kind of disconcerting. Your potential dropped like a loving rock, and I don't think we can just write that off from the scout being poo poo.

Holy gently caress I didn't even see that. So my guy literally either strikes you out or makes sure you're on base with no inbetween. He's got like a .224 average against too this is insane.

You've created a monster - a TTO pitcher. Though in this case we'd have to refer to the Two True Outcomes - the only thing missing is that his loving bonkers GB% (67% - which is absolutely insane) keeps him from giving up dingers.

God damnit, all this moving isn't good for ones career! Toronto doesn't seem too bad, but still, spending your real formative years going from team to team is not good, and it shows!

:rip: Little Time Sim Sam, well on the way to becoming a permanent replacement player. Still kind of starting, but not for long, I'd wager.

Well, looks like Simon's a shoe-in for the Goon Journeyman Award for Most Teams Played For. That's another two new teams... I think? He might have been in STL before, now that I think about it.

Well, at least MacGregor is a 3B, which has a bit of that positional value to i- never mind he's a 1B now. :rip:

Dat .400 BABIP for MacGregor, tho. He's probably going to crash and burn pretty quick now.

Oh man, the excitement. Two more goons left, who will be the last one standing? It would be fitting for it to be MacGregor, being the ultimate journeyman with a massive career but no actual success.

Clearly, MacGregor, being a Scot, and Fostolfur, having Viking roots, bonded over being the last two goons remaining, went out one night and then got so absolutely hammered that whatever happened afterwards made MLB have them quietly "retire" on that day.
