It's a v25 thing. The game developers monkeyed around with stolen base ability and added stealing aggressiveness. With the results of way increased steals.

The season started off on the right foot, sweeping the opening series at Twin Cities. Then we lost 2 of 3 to Madison (13-14), who also swept us to end the month. The record of 1-5 versus the Wolves doesn't look great. That combined with a sweep by Nashville (23-4) and a losing series to TC (15-12) m...

Home town guy doing well!

https://statspl.us/brewster/reports/news/html/images/team_logos/el_paso_borderhounds.png It's not the Diablos or the Chihuahuas, it's the Borderhounds . With a butt ugly borderhound emblem. At 18-7, the team leads the RHML Granville League Southern Division with an 18-7 record. El Paso leads the Gr...

Apr 29th, 2059 Looks like Dobbsie's gonna start, after all. Still not happy that he was suspected of being part of a " fixed save " a week ago, and desiring another chance to take to the mound as a starter, the team said go ahead. Ruin your arm. Nah, just kidding. But he will start, probably Game 1 ...

Go London!

Joining corner outfielder Alonso Flinn , who the DMK picked first in the 2059 rookie draft. "Guy is not an inspiring pick," JRamirez said. 'I keep calling him Finn. I guess it's because of Huckleberry Finn. Let's hope he's no Huckleberry." Since no batters were that inspiring, we'll see what happens...

Walk like an Egyptian

Monday, April 23, 59 DM record 11-6 https://statspl.us/brewster/reports/news/html/images/person_pictures/player_61696.png Iowa closer, Iowa?, wait Des Moines closer Garth Dobbs : 9 appearances, 9 saves. That's 9 saves for the 11-6 Kernels. And ten saves in a row for the 24-year-old Terryville, New Y...

Bott looking great!

Well, let's see what he can do.

04/10/59 https://statspl.us/brewster/reports/news/html/images/person_pictures/player_45836.png Put a uniform on that man! The Kernels have signed Isat 'Dubs' Kasturirangan , a weak-hitting mediocre-fielding guy who the Louisville Sluggers initially signed as a 17-year-old international free agent in...

2059-04-14 Through their first 11 games in the young 2059 season the Des Moines Kernels lead the Frick League in strike outs (88) and are 4th in Runs Against (42). The team has produced 39 runs, which is 11th in the FL, and the team's record is 6-5. https://statspl.us/brewster/reports/news/html/imag...

Big welcome!

There are a bunch of guys signed this past offseason with team options in 2060. The game always assumes options will get picked up so they’re part of the 2060 cap hit.

I think worse is the team's revenue is decreasing AND we have this new player development expense. JoshD has this set at $15M.

April 7, 2059 Still just getting to know this team. The starting nine (line up) was responsible for all but two at bats in the team's first six games. https://statspl.us/brewster/reports/news/html/images/person_pictures/player_71122.png Ricardo Norman leads the team with 1.162 OPS and 4. He was DM's...

Des Moines March 18, 2059 (posted April 7, 59) I'm the pooch and somebody screwed it (can't sign any extensions!) I wrote this last week but am only posting it now. I've added a couple of positive thoughts After his incredible 2055 season, when he engineered Des Moines to 108 victories, former DMGM ...

I still don't know if in v25 (or any version) whether if we don't use all the money budgeted for IFA signing if that money is wasted (can't be used elsewhere). In my (admittedly limited) testing, the money eventually comes back, but the problem is that IFA lasts so long it takes quite a bit of time...

Des Moines coming your way for the next series.
