2063.13; Cobble Hill Leads League

After winning 12 of their last 20 games, the Cobble Hill Robins sit atop the league in an extremely important statistical category -- Fan Interest +/-. Their Fan Interest increase of +4 over the last 30 days, twice that of the next best team, places the Robins far and away the most increasingly inte...

Re: 2063 – How to Maximize Gate Revenue

Thanks for sharing as it's a giant help to most (or all) GMs, and it is something you could have simply kept to yourself as a competitive advantage. What I love most about OOTP is the lack of clear min/max strategies. This seems to be one. My hope would be if you're left of T* and raise prices it wo...

2063.12; Still in Last Place

Why in the hell did you open this team news? Do you enjoy seeing me lose? Is that it? Are you one of those BBA perverts who gets off seeing guys who've had some success in this league all of sudden become nothing more than automatic wins for the rest of the Johnson League? Are you sitting in your da...

“Everything does, eventually,” Mal said.
Sneaky.

There's a certain magic in being terrible. It's not a good magic, per se. But it's entertaining (to some, anyway).

Re: Analysis of the First Round of the 2063 BBA Amateur Draft

Great analysis on my pick of Claudio Confer. He'll get the dev lab treatment to play a better LF and to increase his steal/baserunning. When/if he develops, I'll be jotting his name down in the leadoff spot in Cobble Hill for a decade or more.

Now I just need to find eight more exactly like him..haha

Re: This Draft and Comp Picks

It’s really frustrating when I’m 100% sure I’m right on something, then people write things that make sense and I have to, once again, remind myself I’m not perfect.

Re: This Draft and Comp Picks

The only time I can understand the need is with a brand new GM taking over a financially poor team, which can be governed by the GB very simply on a rare case by rare case basis. I’ve yet to hear another reason where it’s necessary and beneficial to the league. Floating picks is extremely advantageo...

Re: This Draft and Comp Picks

The rule is dumb, and this is why: I should 1000% not sign my pick this year (even more dumb for YS and equally dumb for all the guys who picked 4-10). I like the guy I picked, but he’s young and I need the dev engine to be kind to him. By not signing him, I get the fourth pick next year AND likely ...

Can you write up murder charge against Carlos Silva? He decimated my birds.

Hmm. Maybe I’ll just have to hire my own Head Legal Honcho.

2063.10; Oh, Gawd. It be Hope!

After the destruction of 14 JWALK-approved metaphorical clocks at the conclusion of the first sim of the season for the unknown Cobble Hill Robins, the second sim resulted in a 3-4 week. Despite the losing record, the hum of hope reverberated through the Robins organization as the team found some co...
