Now I'm curious about the under-the-engine logic that determines whether someone like Flaccid gets signed or not, because there are an absolute shitton of minor leaguers he can clown on and he'd clearly be fine in AA for a bit. He's only 20! Development for most players sometimes last until they're 24. Most are no where near ready for the majors at Flaccid's age. RIP Flaccid, Turgid will TOOTBLAN on your behalf.

I'm sure the AI manager will still somehow find a way to make Turgid pinch run.

The Show's retirement is so annoying, I had a character in 12 get automatically retired after getting 3,001 hits.

Episode 23 - Spring Training with Turgid Pnurtis featuring DiscountCleric, habeasdorkus, and MizKriss Witness the (spring training) debut of Flaccid J. Pnurtis's twin brother, Turgid K. Pnurtis! Naturally Flaccid Pnurtis got all the recessive genes, while Turgid got the dominant genes. Since Turgid Pnurtis is a closing pitcher, I think we're going to need some new achievements for him to earn. Or we can just make him become a good hitter for some reason. Could you imagine a team signing a closer and making him the starting DH? That would be wild. CirclMastr fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Nov 29, 2020 |

I'm very happy that Turgid's first spring training win came from blowing a save. The ol' Kyle Farnsworth.

Episode 25 - May 2007 featuring HulkaMatt, MizKriss, and PolarMic I am 99.9% sure this will link to the correct episode. It turns out that all Pnurtis needs to succeed to a pitching coach. It's a good thing HulkaMatt is here to help! And he'll never miss an episode, depriving me of much-needed guidance, right? Right?

Episode 27 - July 2007 featuring DiscountCleric and MizKriss Turgid K. Pnurtis is hanging in there in the majors, but for how long? Can he actually earn a permanent spot in the Cubs bullpen? Can I ever select the correct pitch unaided? Special thanks to MizKriss for the extra-lanky thumbnail. My version of lanky just looked normal next to the wide Flaccid Pnurtis version.

Now that our boy Turgid is in the majors, he should share the Pnurtis family recipes like other Cubs players have. I got the cookbook as a Christmas present waaaay back in like 2010 or so, and I started reading it again, even though I don't really cook much anymore.   and my favorite from Ted Lilly

A pitcher with a 100 mph fastball and a knuckleball would be one of my favourite players if he existed. Also, Turgid shouldn't be getting Save credit for some of those games where he lets runners on base to create a Save situation.
