Re: Beirut Resigns.

You said it with biting sarcasm, but the general comment spells out exactly why the UMEBA exists. I have a hard time putting in a bunch of work for a twelve team league in which roughly three people actually give a shit. Things like promotion/relegation are ideas that create huge workloads with ver...

Re: Beirut Resigns.

If I'm not clear enough, we in the UMEBA have known the whole season that there are major problems. We have been very concerned about those problems. We have made multiple statements in slack and the forums about this. The has been no response or action taken. Not even a "Hey, we know and we're work...

Re: Beirut Resigns.

I completely appreciate the idea that this is a bunch of work. I have little understanding of what it takes to run a league. I apologize for the sarcasm, but I have been very frustrated. If the UMEBA is too much work, then delegate some of it. That's what good leadership does. You night have more ow...

Beirut Resigns.

Effective immediately, I resign as GM of Beriut. I'm sorry, but this just isn't for me. The contraction plan proposed by the league leadership is the fourth major change made in the less than a season and a half that I've been here with absolutely no consideration for the wishes of the UMEBA constit...

Re: A Humam Ghost

Update: Kaliq Humam is out with a torn ucl. Made 4 more appearances after his legendary abuse. Poor guy.

Hong Kong down to 3 pitchers on the roster. Don't know what happened to the other guys.

Re: Generals' Orders(43:10): More of the Same in August

Flemming is a jerk. Carlos Alonso appears to suffer from gigantism. good thing he's good at baseball...he could maybe start in a Shrek remake Yes Flemming is a jerk but I'm gonna send him through leadership training in the offseason I didnt even know where to start with him. So many bad traits. Fig...

Re: Question About UMEBA Contracts

But why did he suddenly gain an auto year he didn't have before the season started? He was pretty good last year, so was he super 2? And then losing that status because I didn't play him this year put the auto year back in?

Question About UMEBA Contracts

So, I signed Jorge Rodriguez to a 2 year deal during last season. This year would have been the final, team option year. Prior to the season, next year would have been an arb season, the first of 3, which I intended to decline. Now, he has an auto year at this years salary, then 3 years of arb. My u...

Re: Manama bad extension

I didn't mean to imply your post was saying you think people should be told how to run their team. I apologize for any such appearance. I suggest that what Brett has been doing, however, has crossed that line. Again, your mileage may vary. Regarding UMEBA as "robust" ... well ... it has been quite ...

Re: Manama bad extension

There's oversight and there's oversight, and the UMEBA is many things--including a robust league of its own. You can also learn in many ways. One of them is making a mistake and discovering it by going forward. We are a very active board, so there are always people ask questions of, too, or educati...

Re: Manama bad extension

Just piggybacking on this, some wonky things have happened in the UMEBA that are a bit frustrating to some of us, and as relative newbies, we don't really feel comfortable calling them out. There's a team that may essentially be tanking right now, or at the very least is being mismanaged in a way th...

Re: Manama bad extension

It's not anyone''s job to tell other GMs how to run their teams. Is this really true in the case of the UMEBA? So, as someone in the UMEBA, who felt that it was advertised as somewhat of a "development" league, I say a little oversight in this case might be warranted. Or future cases like this. If ...

Ah the glimmer of hope. I wish the Generals the best, except for August 16-18. For those days, I wish food poisoning on your clubhouse.
