Subject: League B3 Season 1 Talk Posted by: WiddleAvi - [464301911] Thu, Jul 13, 14:12 Just thought I'd start this thread so it won't take as long to download. And By the way my Rangers will make a comeback and win the division !@!! | ||||||
| 1 | Psycho Joe ID: 45518511 Fri, Jul 14, 01:13 | I think there is a serious problem with picther consistency that needs to be dealt with when the new sim comes out. My team (Mets) has the best ERA in the NL by a fair margin, but they SUCK. Just look at the scrubs I got on the "best" staff in the NL. It really doesn't make any sense, but maybe they're just on a fluke run and will start to suck soon. But hey, my hitting is as bad as I thought it would be, woohoo! | |||||
| 2 | WiddleAvi ID: 50621615 Fri, Jul 14, 07:47 | Well my team in exactly the opposite.... I went out and traded for Brian Bohanon and Aramis Ramirez. I should have a top pitching staff as well as a pretty good hitting team. I am 4-8. I just split with the 1-7 Yankees !!! well now ther are 3-9. My ace got shelled in game 1 and I gave up 15 runs !!! I am ready to trade all my high priced talent if they don't start producing. They have another few days (GSB weeks) to start earning their paycheck before I pull a cincinati and give up !! | |||||
| 3 | Flyin Chip ID: 2962128 Fri, Jul 14, 08:02 | i have bohanon in another league and he's not producing at all. he's 4-5 with an era over 5. but i've heard leagues where he's won the cy young. he'll eventually start producing. | |||||
| 4 | Matt G ID: 3452159 Fri, Jul 14, 08:13 | I picked Up Menhart and he gave up 8 runs in 2 innings in a 12 - 2 route by the Orioles, thank god it is only my second loss this season... | |||||
| 5 | WiddleAvi ID: 5641012 Fri, Jul 14, 08:29 | I have Bohanon, Colon, Nen, Benes (1st 2 Starters,2nd 2 are closers) and from what I've seen in other leagues those 4 are all top notch pitchers. Colon is doing good (2-0 2.25 ERA and leads the league in Strike outs) the my two closers have yet to give up a run but because of my record havn't played much. Just wondering....When i got the team Nen was listed as a starter but his stamina is about 225 so I changed him to set up....should I change him back to a starter since right now he is barely playing ?? | |||||
| 6 | Chaik ID: 15582613 Fri, Jul 14, 09:11 | I just got swept even though I have Rodriguez, Ordonez and Vaughn, not to mention 4 other above average hitters. | |||||
| 7 | MR MET ID: 416121511 Sat, Jul 15, 11:12 | You won't go away Matt, I am 14-2 and still only have a 1 game lead. This is going to be one interesting pennant race. | |||||
| 8 | yankeesRule ID: 59681316 Sun, Jul 16, 11:09 | just picked up Bergman for 3 prospects from the dodgers, so my rotation should be improved and hopefully win a few more games, and i also got garrett anderson form the northern league, he should provide some power for my lineup. | |||||
| 10 | Eat Acid ID: 224241620 Sun, Jul 16, 20:28 | Who is waiving all these players? I have a feeling we have another northern league situation on our hands. | |||||
| 11 | Timing ID: 3165310 Sun, Jul 16, 21:12 | *&$!#@ EA, ya killin me man. | |||||
| 12 | Eat Acid ID: 224241620 Sun, Jul 16, 23:38 | Ah, the Orioles have created this waiver wire situation. Perhaps ownership thinks they are the expos. | |||||
| 13 | Matt G ID: 3452159 Mon, Jul 17, 08:23 | who ever is waiving these guys is going to kill my payroll. I se 3 guys I need to guaruntee me to the World Series and they are all on the wire, bid away folks! | |||||
| 14 | Twarpy ID: 28438220 Mon, Jul 17, 13:45 | Guys Im looking to cut back my payroll...I have a fairly good team (Cardinals) and if you don't want to lose all your money on signing bonuses on the waiver wire take a look at my team. I have a very wek farm team and would be looking for prospects or young guys but just about anyone is available:) | |||||
| 15 | Matt G ID: 3452159 Mon, Jul 17, 14:42 | Twarpy i sent an in-gmae e-mil expressing my interest in a few of your of's let me know what oyu like and we will work out a deal... It will hve to be a good one too, I jsut released Geof Jenkins, who has the ratings, but hasn't been playing like them, I wish the sim would work correctly... | |||||
| 16 | WiddleAvi ID: 5641012 Mon, Jul 17, 22:54 | The SIM is not very accurate.....In real life players might go through cold streaks but not cold seasons.....here a players who has the numbers (so it's not that they are over acheivers) will have a horrible season even if their career #'s are great !!! | |||||
| 17 | Chaik ID: 15582613 Tue, Jul 18, 11:14 | I dunno, look at Troy O'Leary and Shawn Casey, I'd say they're having cold seasons. As did Frank Thomas for 2 seasons in a row. | |||||
| 18 | WiddleAvi ID: 464301911 Tue, Jul 18, 12:34 | It's alot more unusual in real MLB then in GSB I think. | |||||
| 19 | Eat Acid ID: 224241620 Tue, Jul 18, 16:09 | Twarpy, thats a real fair deal we got going I think. I'm going to wait and watch the games tonight and think about it. I hate to give up Castilla but you can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs. | |||||
| 20 | Flyin Chip ID: 2962128 Wed, Jul 19, 07:24 |
Cards,
What didn't you like about that trade? Are you willing to trade him? Let me know what your looking for. | |||||
| 21 | Matt G ID: 3452159 Wed, Jul 19, 08:42 |
finally I move 2 games up on the Mariners, for the first 6 weeks I was 1 game down. What happened to you guys? You got swept by the now 12 - 16 Yanks?
In other news, Twarpy I am sorry but scott downs is to valuable to this organization he is looking to produce better than Adam Flohr who is 3 - 0 1.13 ERA in 6 Starts. as a matter of fact after Ryan Price showed another mediocre performance, Downs is now slated to start vs Pedro Martinez and the Mariners in Game 2 of tonights series which faces the two best teams (Record Wise) against each other. Royals (#2 AL Batting #1 AL Pitching 22 -6) vs Mariners (#1 AL Batting #2 AL Pitching 20 -8) This is also a Division Rival and the first time the teams meet this year, the second is at the years end, in week 16. | |||||
| 22 | MR MET ID: 16651911 Wed, Jul 19, 11:05 | The Mariners got hit bad last night against the Yanks. But we will come back, and make up those two games in no time, this team is just too good. Matt, we both have incredible teams, and the division will be decided the last week of the season, no doubt about that. | |||||
| 23 | yankeesRule ID: 59681316 Wed, Jul 19, 11:27 | Yes, the yankees swept the M's. Made some midseason moves, and finally my pitching is starting to show how good they really are, watch out because the yankees are coming. | |||||
| 24 | yankeesRule ID: 59681316 Wed, Jul 19, 11:29 | Yes, the yankees swept the M's. Made some midseason moves, and finally my pitching is starting to show how good they really are, watch out because the yankees are coming. | |||||
| 25 | MR MET ID: 216321911 Wed, Jul 19, 11:32 | it hurts the most only because i hate the yankees in real life hence the name MR MET....ill see you in the ALCS | |||||
| 26 | Matt G ID: 3452159 Wed, Jul 19, 13:42 | MR MET ALCS? aren't we thinking ahead, you are still 2 games behind me. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if we split tonight, i have 2 18yr olds throwing, one of them his first game of his career, Ryan Price is now Long Relief, Scott Downs is a prodigy... | |||||
| 27 | Wammie ID: 3064948 Thu, Jul 20, 08:56 |
fyi
I am back from my trip, and will be a much more active player in b3 now. it feels good to be back. | |||||
| 28 | Matt G ID: 3452159 Thu, Jul 20, 09:02 | Mariners/Royals Split the Series 2-2 Mariners are the first team to figure out pitching star Mark Clark nailing him for 9 Hits and 4 Runs in 6 Innings. The Mariners won games where the Royals Vets Started but Adam flohr and Scott Downs both 18 got wins, Downs pitched a 7in 4Hit SO while Flohr allowed 2 ER in 8 Innings, his era is still below 2. The AL West Has the 3 Teams with the Best Records in Baseball all seperated by 4 games... only 1 goes to the ALCS, we have a heck of a race people. | |||||
| 29 | Eat Acid ID: 224241620 Fri, Jul 21, 14:56 | Wow, this was the third draft I've been a part of, I've had the last pick in two of the three, but this one was far and away the worst. | |||||
| 30 | Chaik ID: 15582613 Fri, Jul 21, 15:04 | This draft was awful. It's my fourth, and by far the worst. | |||||
| 31 | Matt G, Guru Jr. ID: 662815 Sat, Jul 22, 14:29 | I didn't sign 5 - 6 of the guys i drafted and i had the second pick. Some of these guys were just horrible, I had maybe 3 guys with a #1... | |||||
| 32 | MR MET ID: 216322214 Sat, Jul 22, 14:32 | NOOOOOOO! Ortiz out for 6 weeks! He was tearing up the league! Just my luck as the pennant race really starts to heat up!! | |||||
| 33 | Matt G, Guru Jr. ID: 3452159 Mon, Jul 24, 09:29 | OOOOh that hurts, man I am 1 game back now, my relievers lost me game #4 against the Sox, but another Shut-Out By clark got me game 1. | |||||
| 34 | yankeesRule ID: 59681316 Mon, Jul 24, 09:33 | Yes, Yankees take 1st in the east, My pitchinig is starting to come through!! | |||||
| 35 | Wammie ID: 3064948 Mon, Jul 24, 10:42 | Don't count out the Cubbies! We have the most the ability to break out and win a bunch of games in a row. three games behind the cardinals is not too far out! | |||||
| 36 | Wammie ID: 3064948 Mon, Jul 24, 10:43 | ok, i sound like an idiot, ... We havee the most ability to break out ... | |||||
| 37 | FlyinChip ID: 166122411 Mon, Jul 24, 11:12 | I just traded to get Colon, Bohanon, and Nen. Then my team goes out and get a huge beating by the Padres. Colon and Bohanon both got rocked. Hopefully my team can turn it around, soon. | |||||
| 38 | Wammie ID: 3064948 Tue, Jul 25, 03:59 |
FlyinChip
I was looking at your trade for Bohanon, and I think this could be one of those trade deadline trades that comes back to haunt a team. Bohanon is a hell of a pitcher, dont' get me worng, but Hunter and Scott look to be damn good players. I really like Darryl Scott. He could be the Giants hero in a year or two. I hope Bohanon works out for you, but the Cubbies are going to win the series! | |||||
| 39 | Matt G, Guru Jr. ID: 3452159 Tue, Jul 25, 11:34 | Bohanon threw a Shut out in his first game as a Royal. Scott is good, but I have plenty of talent to follow him and Bohanon will be around for a couple of years. You have to remember I have Scott Downs and Adam Flohr both starting for me at Age 18 and they are doing better than most pitchers in the league. AS for hitters I assessd the value of the guys you mentioned and realized that i don't "need" them, yes they are good, but i have the talent to follow them too... | |||||
| 40 | Timing ID: 3165310 Tue, Jul 25, 18:17 |
Can someone tell me the ages of Adam Flohr and Scott Downs? I've somehow forgotten though we're reminded every other god damn day. Go Mariners. | |||||
| 41 | Matt G, Guru Jr. ID: 35641319 Tue, Jul 25, 18:52 | well, if i thought people would take offense I would mention it, oh well I thought this was chat about GSB b3 league am i wrong or are Scott Downs and Adamn Flohr both B3 league players???? Sorry if it pisses you off. Its not every day though it was the 19/22/25th of july that i mentioned them too, if you are so sick of it don't read my posts it is that simple. Thanks.... God I sound cocky, sorry for the arrogant post, I am having a bad day and the last post got under my skin, i hope you all understand. Go Royals :) | |||||
| 42 | Timing ID: 3165310 Tue, Jul 25, 23:26 |
Dude you've acted like a cocky arrogant prick since this league began. You act as if you're this wiz manager who's built this great team when in fact you were simply given a team that was much much more talented than most of the rest of the league and you were given like the #2 pick in the draft in addition to this great talent advantage. Instead of the Commish making all the teams even, he stacked 2 teams with talent and made everyone else even. If I hadn't already done so much work on my team I'd try to switch into your division just so I could kick your team on a regular basis. And if you don't like my posts you can kiss my ass. Go Mariners :) | |||||
| 43 | yankeesRule ID: 59681316 Tue, Jul 25, 23:37 | looks like I got a series against the "ROYALS". I can't wait to show them what Bronx Bomber baseball is all about!! | |||||
| 44 | Eat Acid ID: 224241620 Wed, Jul 26, 01:30 | Scuse me yankees rule, but I just went 6-2 against the two best teams in baseball. My tribe is only one game out, and they are bringing the noise now. | |||||
| 45 | Wammie ID: 3064948 Wed, Jul 26, 05:24 | My cubs are starting to piss me off. They should be winning a lot more games than this. I think ownership might have to fire the manager. Some one has to take the blame for this team's lack of production, and i know it is not my fault ;) | |||||
| 46 | yankeesRule ID: 59681316 Wed, Jul 26, 09:14 | I know, I got to play my best ball to stay ahead of you EA, good luck on the rest of the season, I never thought i waould be in first place after going 1-7, nut this is baseball and anything can happen | |||||
| 47 | Eat Acid ID: 74592510 Wed, Jul 26, 23:17 | Ah yes, one game up with two series left against divisional foes. Hopefully my pitching comes through, god I need to improve it in the off season. | |||||
| 48 | Timing ID: 576382614 Thu, Jul 27, 15:09 | Two weeks left and 1 game seperates 3 teams in the Wild NL West. The Giants go on the road riding a 3 game win streak without one of their big guns Carlos Febles to battle the Astros while the Padres come to LA riding their own 3 game streak to battle the Dodgers! DOWN the stretch they come! | |||||
| 49 | Matt G, Guru Jr. ID: 662815 Thu, Jul 27, 18:03 | The AL West series is tight. I am 2 games up facing the Rangers this week and then the Royals and I duke it out in the final series of the year. This could come down to the wire, good luck to all and I hope to see you in the post season. Not Eat Acid though, his Indians are tough to beat... :) | |||||
| 50 | Timing ID: 8630285 Fri, Jul 28, 05:30 | One week to go and it's down to the Dodgers and Giants for the division! The Dodgers go on the road to battle the EVIL Giants! The Dodgers need a split to take the division while the Giants need at least 3 of 4. This should be EPIC! | |||||
| 51 | FlyinChip ID: 53682610 Fri, Jul 28, 07:12 | With my sweep of the Astros, I thought I'd at least be even going into the showdown. My pitching has been poor, but my bats have saved me numerous times in the late innings. Hopefully we get a good series. | |||||
| 52 | Matt G, Guru Jr. ID: 3452159 Fri, Jul 28, 08:38 | After sweeping the Rangers the Royals have Clinched the AL West Division title. Which is a shame, I was hoping for a battle int he final series between us and the Mariners. Oh well Clark and Thompson still battle for the Winningest pitcher in the AL. Good luck to all in Div. Races... | |||||
| 53 | FlyinChip ID: 53682610 Tue, Aug 01, 09:56 | what happened to everyone? damn dodgers beating me by one game. i may have to rebuilt with my incredible shortage of money. | |||||
| 54 | FlyinChip ID: 53682610 Tue, Aug 01, 10:09 | Are we doing an MVP/Cy Young voting? | |||||
| 55 | Chaik ID: 11623319 Tue, Aug 01, 13:15 | Looks like I'm gonna have to rebuild too... let me know at the beginning of next year who on my team you want... I'm gonna trade such players as AROD, Lopez and Vaughn for prospects (good prospects, and lots of 'em). remember... they all have AVGs of about 500 | |||||
| 56 | yankeesRule ID: 59681316 Tue, Aug 01, 13:28 |
i sent an email for seaon awards, so check your email and send it back to me asap, hope i was fair in choosing for the awards. thanks, yR | |||||
| 57 | Timing ID: 2970123 Tue, Aug 01, 23:00 | Well well my mediocre Dodgers have survived to reach the World Series for a chance to slay the giant from the AL. All of the Dodger fans will be bringing their terrible towels, rally caps, comeback monkey dolls, good luck charms, horseshoes, and batteries to help the team bring home the BIG ONE! We're bringin Vin Scully, Tommy Lasorda, and Kirk Gibson for luck too. We're gonna SHOCK THE WORLD! Bring it ON!!! lol | |||||
| 58 | MR MET ID: 675123 Tue, Aug 01, 23:05 | Just don't put Bill Buckner at first. hehe | |||||
| 59 | Timing ID: 44719221 Wed, Aug 02, 21:19 | Aaaaaaah!!! That damn extra inning game killed me. I had to win that one to have a shot here. DAMN! I'm glad I didn't get swept cause it would have lost me some money! Great team there Matt G, congrats on the title! | |||||
| 60 | Matt G ID: 3452159 Thu, Aug 03, 09:36 | I don't have the title yet, I was ina series once where I was down 3-0 and I tied it up to go 7 games, I lost in the 7th game though but still don't count yourself out yet.... | |||||
| 61 | Timing ID: 492382621 Tue, Apr 03, 16:30 | This thread would make it 189 for Season 1 of B3. | |||||
