2051 WBL Season Thread

[Mr. Radpants]

I quit too. Started with 3-2, 1-1 over. How am I going to draft All Americans?

Victim of conflicting strategies. Bat flip strategy is leading to too many wins to also secure the 1-1.

Helsingborg's B team in Little Rock is playing pretty well @Orlando

 

[Travis7401]

I think it is just that WolfCunt21 gets annoying and Osick doesn't have thick skin against trogging because he's a nice Canadian.

 

[Wolfman21]

if osick is burned out as a commish, i'd volunteer to help out when I can. I would need the basics explained to me so that i wouldn't F something up, but i'm free on most nights that I don't work

Copycat.

 

[Travis7401]

I quit if Wolfcunt21 is commish.

Okay, I actually quit.

 

[osick87]

2 months as assistant commish has already burnt Osi out? What goes on in these closed door commissioner meetings

I was pretty burnt out by then to but figured me simming would at least refresh OU enough.

Simming does kill a lot of flexibility in how you can take a break.

It is mostly the roughly 900 hrs I have in 15&16 that has me burnt out enough to let someone play who wants to. If not, then I guess I will still play an sim.

 

[bruin228]

I see @Travis7401 is paying Haswell $9.79m to stay in AAA and not curse his team.

Yep. Had to make room for SCUTTLEBUTT to come on board to boost attendance by hitting .150

That being said, I liked how the curse worked a lot better last year.

THIS IS A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT

He flied out in the bottom of the 9th in the WS, he pulled the ultimate curse by getting your hopes up.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I didn't start a simulation baseball e-publication evaluating 14 year old sim baseball players just for the league to fold.

 

[osick87]

When is the draft pool issue coming out?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Well the pool just got released.

Is that normal? I was going to ask but didn't want to stress you out.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

I mentioned about a year ago that I could co-commish or full commish. I work nights so sims would be before 9:30pm real people time. I also think I'm slightly less obnoxious than Wolfman, but maybe not.

As an aside, I think we missed the preseason predictions.

 

[osick87]

Well the pool just got released.

That stuff is @OU11's domain.

I just sim and sometimes miss trades. That's why I don't really credit too much of the burn out to me becoming a SIM lackey.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

So Norman left the feeder league and played somewhere for 61 games already.

 

[Orlando]

All these people coming out of the woodwork for the cheat codes

 

[osick87]

He was Earth's first player to get accepted to the SBL.

 

[Orlando]

Helsingborg's B team in Little Rock is playing pretty well @Orlando

Rattler off to a good start in the HUNGER GAMES

I count 10 ex-Hammers

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Let's call it an Indy League.

Edit, osicks idea is better

 

[Mr. Radpants]

All these people coming out of the woodwork for the cheat codes

But really, no one wants the league to die.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Especially when we can cheat instead.

 

[osick87]

If it came to that I wouldn't leave. I just saw NML wanting back in and I don't really look forward to playing it like I used to so I figured I would ask.

Maybe something about this season will sink it's hooks in me.

Probably won't be as active on here since I'm trying not to go on utopia at work at all. This was another reason I figured I would ask.

 

[Wolfman21]

All these people coming out of the woodwork for the cheat codes

Truthfully, I just feel I would do a good job and ive, normally, got plenty of time.

If you don't appreciate Kasib, you can give him back.

 

[Orlando]

Truthfully, I disagree.

 

[osick87]

If you don't appreciate Kasib, you can give him back.

Nah he is going to end up going into the wizard's guild with a BA hat.

 

[Yankee151]

Don't tease me with the spacetopia talk, I already have star system flags in mind.

 

[osick87]

Stuff like helping @bruin228 helped.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Nah he is going to end up going into the wizard's guild with a BA hat.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Looking at my roster probably made @osick87 want to quit life.

 

[Yankee151]

I like how Castiglione and Zhang are #1 and #3 in opponent batting average, and they have the worst eras ever. The Italian gave up 3 homers to Dublin lolz

 

[Mr. Radpants]

That's a BA wizard hat, right?

 

[osick87]

That could be the hall of fame token.

We raked this first sim.

Not sure how I am 7 in power rankings with a "-" after sweeping you, are the power rankings just anticipating me playing someone else?

 

[OU11]

Well the pool just got released.

Is that normal? I was going to ask but didn't want to stress you out.

It is not normal. It is on purpose.

 

[doh]

Anyone else notice how screwed up ZRs are 3B?

 

[NML]

Probably a not-popular opinion, but if the owners are going through the motions, a new league might help increase immersion. Not sure if it's a league wide issue, or just Osick and OU.

Y'all know how to get in touch with me if you need me to fill in or take over though.

I love it when you go all Jedi mind trick riddle on me.

I wouldn't be into it like I used to be if you paid me. I go through stages of semi caring and doing it for da league.

 

[OU11]

I don't want to sound like I hate it, I don't. It's just been a long time doing it nightly. @osick87 thanks a bunch, you helped out a ton. @Orlando has offered to start pulling his weight so we're still good, I just don't have the interest in analyzing it like i used to. Once that stops there isn't much else to the game besides fake records.

 

[Travis7401]

I think everyone is just shook by the decades of coming rigger dominance. I'd want to start spacetopia too if I was you'll.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Why do you'll think I've been giving away my future 1st round picks?

been planning for Spacetopia all along. suckers.

 

[Travis7401]

I decided to lull you to sleep by getting swept by Key West in the first sim of my dominance.

travis playing the long con

 

[Travis7401]

All joking aside, I think last year might have mentally spoiled my outlook. 2052 was always the target for competing for a playoff spot and I just need to keep that in mind. A down year isn't a bad thing, I just need to continue to let my young players develop and then replace the crappiest 2 in free agency for the next few years while I have $.

I can still SIM. I am kinda at the same point as you. Likely just put in my 5 mins + SIM and keep on keepin' on.

Suppose I will get excited about Harley getting up sometime this season.
