Casablanca strangely only had 3 games this week. Sabertooth threw an 8-hitter against us
He scattered the eight hits like a true ace.

damnit, how the ghost of Lenny Fernandes came back to bite me in the ass.
good series as always @Orlando
Also, opening game conditions in Berlin: Clear skies (47 degrees), wind blowing in from center at 13 mph. FFFUUU.
Yet, somehow, one of @Rutgers Mike's players hit 3 HR in the game.

Munir was using his drone to scout LV pitching.My agent has already started feeding me sensitive information on Moscow. Less of a trade, more of a cold war infiltration.
That and not knowing how to set a roster.
Well Mustard Tiger had a great first week, and hopefully he can pick up right where he left off 8 weeks from now when I bring him back from his rehab... Injured running the bases
@TonyGin&Juice this is exactly why I prefer to overpay TWO glue factory DHs!

I'm waiting for Bjorno to demand a trade. This is why I overpay for multiple SOME BUM 3Bs that can't hit.
Rough first week for EMILIO THE 10 MILLION DOLLAR MAN.... 1/21 at the plate and a solid -0.6 WARS WON in a single week. He should probably just eat a bullet now and save you the rest of ur investment.

Thank the Ted Nugent Heroin Jesus for those two team options.
Dermott McHeshi still got some power left, hit 2 HRs in his first week of 2059. As long as he keeps his OBP over .400 and his SLG over .400 I'll be happy he's not ready to retire yet. He's starting to look like a black man who doesn't believe in sunscreen @Reel. That Waco sun is intense!
Oh man, to add insult to injury.... look at @Orlando's dude. Making 735K and hit 7 times as good as Tony's 10 MILLION DOLLAR MAN. THAT JUXTAPOSITION

It's early, he's going to go on a tear and then break his back fucking Oklahoma cracker soon enough. If this guy ends up being SOME BUM like the last 1B/3B international FA I signed I'll just start pissing my money away on FA DHs one HBP away from the glue factory.

Something is seriously wrong with our farm system setup. I've got pitchers that should be doing well, throw up ERA's in the double digits every year. I'm sure some of you are experiencing the same thing with your guys. One of my top prospects gave up 9 ER in 1.1 innings (a 60.75 ERA...wtf) in AA this past sim.
The average League ERA in AA over the past 20 seasons or so has hovered around a 5.00. Closer to a 6.00 in AAA, and down near a 4.00 in A. I think those stats are skewed way too in favor of hitting.
I think we need to make some adjustments.

The thing to remember in the minors is that you are playing young players out of position (because they are learning positions and gaining versatility). This means your ERA is going to be much higher due to the lack of fielding behind your pitchers. If you have a bad defense behind them, just keep it in mind or look at FIP.
You're also freaking out about 1 bad game. I've got a one poor dude with a 63 ERA because he had a BABIP of .778 which means erryone in the field was dicking the dog while he was pitching.

Dahl also just kinda blows statistically, lol. Bum probably needs a 4th year in A-ball Now he's in AA and gonna get his asshole reamed with dat 40 stuff. I typically like to see 45+ ratings for a pitcher to do well in AA and 50+ ratings for them to do well in AAA, at least for stuff/movement. Control seems to develop a bit later for some players.
This is a dude who should play really well in his first AA year

Instead of complaining you could, I don't know, offer up an actual productive solution?
A catcher with a 35 positional rating prolly isn't helping any of ur pitchers either.

Ignore my prospect. I specifically gave you the data for the overall league.
A 5.00 league ERA at the AA level is ridiculous, same with a 6.00 ERA in AAA. The league settings are skewed too far to hitting. I dont know if that's something that can be manually changed or a part of the underlying code. But the settings are off and need to be changed.

Woof, how to break the WBL in 20 seconds. Glad your name isn't Ololyd.
I already brought up the positional issue and I think that's most of it. The BABIP for AAA is in the .330-345 range for all the teams in the long run, so the ERA gonna be high unless you got a strikeout king. A lot of that is going to be driven by poor fielding due to players with sub 50 positional ratings being the norm.

But it could be fixed if we hard code some settings to compensate for our miserable MiLB GMing!

gonna need @Travis7401 to bust out the spreadsheets and give us the data and figures
Here's your current starting AA lineup and their rating by position.
C - 35
1B - 30
2B - 65
SS - 55
3B - 25
RF - 20
CF - 55
LF - 30
You have 1 player who can play his position well, 2 players who can play serviceable defense, and 5 who are tripping on their dicks. I mean your 20 rated RF is a 60 rated CF and he will be much better by the end of they year, but this is the sort of shit you have to deal with in order to make players more versatile. You are doing the right thing because development matters more than winning, that's the whole reason we have farm teams. You just need to realize that your pitchers aren't going to look very good with that 30 average rating defense behind them, particularly pitchers with average or low stuff relative to the level you are playing.

You also have to consider the fact that your prospects might just hate everything about you as a person, a manager, and as a motherfucking crew. Perhaps they are playing possum in an attempt to get you to give up on them and trade or cut them. Then they can join another team and find true success.

This puts corch in a tough spot.
Have versatile defenders and watch all my pitchers die. Or give my pitchers some defensive help, and have no versatility.
hmmmmm

This is part of why I like drafting players who are far along in development in key areas. A) they can't really bust if they come out of college fully developed and B) They will typically light up each level of the minors and make you super excited. Unfortunately they all play like BUMS when they hit the WBL because their ceilings never improve, despite their amazing performances, but you can chalk that up to Indy Dev fuckshit.
This dude a great example of a SPREADSHEET WARRIOR. His first season in A ball and he starts out with 45 current contact and 75 rating at SS (and a 40 rating at 2B and 3B). With 45 contact and 75 positional in A ball he could probably win 10 WARS if I played him at SS all year. I'll probably promote him to AA in June and get him time at 2B and 3B to round him out defensively.

You drafted BUMS and expected them to perform like GOATs. Travis is right - unless you've got guys with good STUFF and CONTROL/MOVEMENT with good defense to go with it you're going to see high ERAs and FIPs in the minors. The BUM in question ("The Fly") has bad stuff and control and barely ok movement right now. He might improve and be mediocre but right now he's a BUM. Don't feel bad, I have a lot of BUMS in my minor league system serving up BP. The bigger issue is you don't have a very good farm system and outside of van Ineveld, Robert Louis (a Thao clone), and Ornelas you've got a bunch of guys that have no chance of improving.
