Maybe your defense makes a lot of errors? Or you lose a lot of close games, what is your record in 1 run games?

Can you see record in 1 run games?
My defensive efficiency is 5th so I assumed it's okay. But holy shit the Dodgers are stupid.

Your team is bad on the road, and has been okay in close games. Your offense is not particularly good, looks like you destroy left handed starters but are only so so versus righties. Woods, Realmuto, Yelich and Munoz are your only above average hitters against righties. Romero and Keys are both about average vs righties (95 OPS+). Everyone else is below average offensively versus right handed pitching.
Derek Dietrich is probably your worst every day player. 70 OPS+, 67 wRC+, 0.1 WAR. I think some of that is because he's played half his games at SS and been not very good there, but the rest is the fact that he just can't seem to hit.
Edit: Just realized that Dansby Swanson is your normal 2B, yeah that'll probably help when he comes back from injury.

Brent, could we not sim past when the international FA period opens since we have a lot of CPU GMs?

I might have the best record in the AL, but going 2-7 vs NL teams so far really has me spooked.

Doesn't seem to be done uploading or something else is wrong?
I guess this was a bad Marlins sim

Thanks, Brent!
Hey, don't mean to be a pain, but if you have time to throw Billy Burns in the trade-o-matic I'd appreciate it!

I was able to get a fresh version running on a virtual machine. Still is kind of lousy though.

Got an email earlier saying that OOTP is extending their pre-order until March 8th instead of it ending tomorrow.

Anyone have any interest in Garrett Richards or potentially other players? Gonna start unloading here (not fully) to prepare for the future.
edit: Shouldn't this be in off topic gaming?

Finally dumped Alex Avila, bench Zunino and called up Aiello and my team has responded by winning 5 straight and moving to 3.5 back of a Wild Card spot.
Only 2 weeks until Chase DeJong is back, although I'll rehab him. The question becomes, who goes to the pen? King Felix is having his worst season, perhaps him?

Guy asks for 60k - I offer about 2.6 million... and am outbid by the Cards.
Oh well.

Everybody's scout must have thought Jorge Lopez was trash since I was able to sign him. Mine thinks he's 75 potential with high power.
Just noticed I had a 19 year old 61 potential SP in my international complex! Found him in 2016 and I just now noticed.

Signings were weird so I used my omnipotent commish powers to see how different scouts viewed guys. Wow, this is the most variation I think I have ever seen from scout to scout, over the entire crop of IFAs. Very cool.

My scout only liked him out of all the players.

On that point your scout and mine were in agreement. Had him at something like a 78 POT, the next guy was somewhere in the low 50's and it fell off steeply from there.

I don't even think my scout liked someone else for 30 or above. Hence why I just went all in on the guy.

Billy Burns sits out
Waiting for potential trade
Bubblegum he chews
Billy Burns thinks hard
Contemplating what he's done
Why does Brent not care?
Am I not a man?
Billy Burns thinks to himself
Do I not exist?
If only one cared
Thinks Billy Burns, crying soft
If only they knew
I could bring so much
Billy dreams, the bench attached
To his butt, now numb
Brent, CPU, please
Let me free to fly around
Other, far, outfields
Billy Burns cries, one
Broken man, really is he?
Or does Brent hate him?

I go on a 4 game losing streak and my division lead widens to 11 games? I'll take it.
You say this every other week.
It's Miami. Every week is Fire Sale week!

Brent if you get around to shopping guys, can you see if the CPU will give me anything for Mike Zunino.
Also if anyone wants to make an offer for Zunino I'm willing to part with him.

I went ahead and pre-ordered OOTP 17

Ever since someone asked to check the 'shop player' on a guy and then wanted to make the trade, but then the CPU no longer wanted it, I've started doing the shop player after the current days sim that way you have a day to answer before I sim the next day. (assuming they don't change their response same cycle)
7 day sim should be available
