so portland is going to get beaten up so badly that they'll probably never make the playoffs again?

Well I've lost to Jeff two years in a row and my team is aging badly so that's not a bad guess at all!

This one falls pretty hard on Number One Overall Pick Todd Hutchinson though

Oh also Number One Overall Pick Todd Hutchinson now holds the franchise record for career appearances as a pitcher by almost 200 games + is fifth in franchise IP. He's on track to be #3 (behind Lewis Stammen and Wehner) by halfway through next season.

Looks like we'll roll over either the day I leave, or like the day after I leave for vacation, and I am not spending me whole time at the beach on here doing trade discussions, so this firesale is going to have to wait until season 30. By then it will be warranted, since Louie, Mercedes, Bernie, and Bailey Osborne will be FA's.

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.

This is why I play in like 8 other worlds. What the gently caress else am I supposed to do to try and win? This team would win 120+ and a bunch of WS anywhere else but somehow in this world it's just "fall apart in the LDS against teams who aren't nearly as good" every goddamn season.

What's really great is the last franchise to put out a regular team as good as this one just won WS after WS without even trying, yet we can barely win a goddamn playoff series.
