worse than Eric Wedge?Maybe you guys are just ####ty managers![]()
I wasnt complaining...just letting him know that it happens, especially early on. Slumps happen and they look much worse when you start out in one...Don't you nerds know it is a little early to be complaining about numbers? :samplesize: :billjamesflex:

Fixed. You won't trade for Luis Cruz. :(Still looking to trade mediocre/crappy RP for mediocre/crappyIF/C.
Of players who have had over 150 ABs, Luis Cruz has the lowest OPS of any player since the new millennium. 10th lowest OPS since 1901. 112 seasons, and he's 10th worst of every single player. He's not even close to good enough to be considered just crappy. He literally one of the worst players of all time.Fixed.

Sorry GB, already made a trade with Kraft. I might end up doing this down the line though, seems like WIS has ramped up the fatigue this year.Trade offer sent, scoobus. Hopefully I'm not late to the MIF for RP train, because Ronny Cedeno is available.
All Huston Street does is blow saves.Anyone else's bullpen really bad? I thought my pen would be one of my strengths. Everyone but Sonyny Gray has an ERA over 5.00 (Chapman, Breslow, Reed, etc)
Doh
Yeah, the relief pitching has been subpar so far. I have 7 relievers, 2 of them had real life WHIPs of 1.26. The rest in order were 1.19, 1.12, 1.01, 0.93, 0.57.Brady Marino said:All Huston Street does is blow saves.the moops said:Anyone else's bullpen really bad?

Santiago Casilla and his BB/9 rate of 6.00 will be the closer now.![]()
The fact that you laid it all out here, and it makes sense for both teams. I have no issue with it.I have a bit of a dilemma. I am running two teams and TU's team has a horrible defensive OF. He has Marlon Byrd (C+/D+), Torii Hunter (B/D-), Nate McLouth (A/C-), with a little Christian Yelich (A/D+) off the bench. My regular team could use a hitter with a little power like Byrd or Hunter and I can move him either Michael Bourn (B+/B-) or Jon Jay (A/B) which will help shore up his defense and give me a little more pop.
Unfortunately, it doesnt feel right to make the trade because I am running both teams. Just want to see if anyone would have a problem with me doing it?
TU's team has extra OF at-bats if anyone wants to move a relief arm. I am tired of managing his fatigue and could use an extra arm.
Thanks.

The fact that I swept four games from TU at his place lets you know how bad his team is.
Oh well, never mind. I guess you cant make a trade between two teams owned by the same person. I just went to propose the trade to look at salaries but it wont let me.

LarryBoy's in this?
13 in a row, and into 2nd place in the division.My team has been comically bad, with no fatigue or any other apparent rationale behind it. Of particular note:
Stephen Drew: 62 PA - .138/.177/.172 vs. .253/.333/.443
Brian McCann: 55 PA - .184/.236/.245 vs. .256/.336/.461
Dexter Fowler: 66 PA - .217/.288/.278 vs. .263/.369/.407
Drew and McCann are even worse when you consider I'm using them pretty much in straight platoons so nearly all ABs are against RHP.
And my pitching staff that finished 1 or 2 in ERA and FIP during the season is at a team ERA of 4.79 despite having 60% of my games so far at AT&T.
So yeah, this sim sucks so far.
