Notes:
There were two owners who had players coming off of DFA (from free agent signings) and no place to put them on the active roster (and out of options). I was forced to make a judgement call as to who to replace on their rosters. In the future, please do not make me have to make these choices for your team. In the future, I may just release any such players, even if they were just signed to free agent contracts.
Next sim: Next Saturday night.
While my rotation is improving, it's not good enough. Losing Kalakay for the sim, and now Arias, my closer, for who knows how long, has had me push up some rookies into prominent roles. Gan Mah excelled in LF, as Ieyasu Suzuki did for Matt Stokes at 3B. Now it's time to see if Carlos Placeres is the next Junior Cuomo.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, a bad sim for the Shackamaxon Lenape. Although, my AAA team did thump Houston's affiliate 24-0 in a game on 4/25/2026. Cincinnati's starting pitcher got zero outs, while Arizona Bay's got 27. If there ever was a time for a position player to pitch, it was this game.
I mean, I'm REALLY enjoying the random number generator this season. I've already lost my starting catcher and shortstop - the former a clear All Star-level player and the latter a potential one - for the year. The BABIPs for my starting pitchers are generally in the stratosphere. Gooooooooooo Hickory!
