But maybe he lacks that hidden clutch factor that I swear is in the game. I swear along side you on this. I've tried parsing apart the little personality blurb OOTP gives to see if I can figure out if there's something there that tells me what their super secret clutch rating is. So far -- peanuts,...

Two people not even giving Ploid a vote (1-5) for Sawyer Silk is a bit mind boggling to me. He led the league in hits, avg, obp, and stolen bases. And 8.0 WAR at 1st base despite only having 10 homers. He also beat out Gonzales in wOBA and wRC+. Not in the top five? Silly. Just give the Silk to the ...

Ugh. Just 6th best in the BBA. They''ll kick us out of the Pacific soon at this rate.

Six Pacific teams in the top nine is crazy.

We’re aging, so it won’t be long for me to fall way back as I don’t have the guys in the minors to fill shoes.

Har har har

I’d like to take credit for that wily dad pun, but it was purely accidental.

I won 90 last season and missed the playoffs.

And did not have a game 163.

What’s weird is I don’t feel my team is all that great defensively other than CF and C. Everyone else is very average. Clearly the infield is better than that. Issam was +8.4 ZR and Vera +4.1. I guess I was going off of more average (for me anyway) concerning their ratings. Isam’s range fell to nin...

Ok. I know this guy’s philosophy sounds like mine, but I swear this is not me on an alt account.

Doubles and triples are the most beautiful sights in the world. Homers are for people who need participation ribbons to fuel their self-esteem.

Hey, I'd like some of the accolades for this since I'm paying the guy $4m this year and next.

Nice frickin’ cliffhanger. Is the clock ok? Will the clockmaker be able to reassemble it in time for the next sim? Aaaaahhhhh!!! So many questions …

My biggest takeaway was the relationship movement has with FIPs which is remarkable considering it should only impact one of the three FIP variables (HRs) . Whereas stuff should influence two (Ks and HRs) and control should factor into all three (Ks, BBs, and HRs). Looks like we found Ron's second ...

The only thing I'll add to the above is when one of a pitcher's ratings is elite. For me, movement is king and needs to be at the very least above average, but if a guy has elite stuff or elite command, I'm ok with the opposite rating (stuff/command) being average or above average. This is my "in-a-...

The crack of a branch snapped Foghorn back into consciousness. He couldn’t remember falling asleep or much of anything after he bolted from his Cutlass to get away from the crows the previous evening. Or, to be more truthful, to get away from the images the crows reminded him of from last December ...

My digital token came with a virus.

This doesn’t deserve two points. It didn’t mention anything about the team or how it’s currently doing.

I like the part where you said the Pacific is the best division in baseball.

Good stuff. I was just about to dust off my mic to produce another podcast, but, now that you've taken the initiative, I don't have to. Much appreciated!
