Love my goddamn disaster bullpen

My bullpen is a collective 0-10 and cool guy Todd Hutchinson has given up 26 earned runs so far - more than half that he gave up over the entirety of S26 and S30.

My pitching's reverting to the mean a little but it's not terrible. I've got two guys in my offense that are _slugging_ under .100, though. Just rough.

Well he's a 74 season vet so normally I'd say he's tanking on purpose. But he's only made the playoffs 3 times in 74 seasons so maybe he's just bad.

The non-capitalization of his team nickname is probably the first clue.

There is no chance he can't sign a better guy then this for the minimum right?

He also has a weird thing going where he's in a shitload of worlds and has 74 past seasons, but he doesn't have more than 2 past seasons in any current world he's in. Maybe he just really likes pissing money away.

He has over a hundred million in his budget but only about 70 million of it spent. I'm leaning with him just being bad

Did he jack up IFA scouting?

WIS is just a front for Russian cyber criminals who have bought a share in Fox Sports and that's why it never gets updated. Makes too much sense not to be true.

Not sure. I've whined in here about my start, my guess is that the rest of the division has had the same small sample size blues. If it's still this way at the break, there might be something more to it.

Not gonna post any more scouting screenshots, but he's pretty good. Given how this game works though, it'd be just the pubbie's luck if he didn't sign. Undecideds are just a roll of the dice.

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

Well you won because for some reason Sparky decided my long reliever should pitch the whole end of a 1 run game.
