Ortiz will be a better offensive player than Normore, at least for awhile. The real piece that could sway it to Vegas's side, IMHO is Nasty Boy. Cyr is a wild card. Could sway the deal either way. My gut is afraid of the MO and potential stuck CU. If all 3 pitches develop then Vegas wins the deal. ...

To Portland
Bartolo Ortiz (ACT)

To Las Vegas
Matt Normore (ACT)
Jose Rios (ACT)
Stan Cyr
$7 million in bonus funds.

Still grasping at home I can compete. I'm sure losing Normore for Ortiz won't be viewed kindly by the critics but I need something.

May 19 New Orleans 12 - Atlantic City 1 The Crawdads rode a 6-run first inning and added on for the FUBAR win. Korbel and Sanchez had 3 hits each. Korbel was a perfect 3-3 at the plate with a walk, 3 runs scored, and a pair of RBI. Sanchez had 2 doubles, scored a run, and drove in 2. Starter Freddy...

A fter a 16-12 month of April, things appeared going as good as could hope for in Portland to start the 2043 season. But things have come collapsing down in May. An 8-15 month littered with poor hitting performances has now put the team down in the standings and under the .500 mark. The bad month i...

Excellent review. I think you hit it pretty well. Werner is inconsistent and it scares me to give up López for that. But López just isn’t producing enough offense and I need some badly. Brown could turn into a solid 4-5 starter for Calgary as well. This will be a trade that will be good to evaluate ...

W ith an offense that is floundering at the bottom of the Frick League, Portland Lumberjacks General Manager Chris Wilson struck a deal this week that acquired left handed power bat Werner McConnell, Jr from the Calgary Pioneers. The deal didn't come at a cost however as the Lumberjacks sent young ...

To Porltand:
Werner McConnel, Jr (BBA)

To Calgary:
Jorge Lopez (BBA)
Greg Brown (AA)

Trade will be submitted on my end in game. Put McConnell in empty lineup spot and in LF vs RHP.

Not sure what you're complaining about, Chris. Seems to me that this would be a rather boring feature without Long Beach's contributions.

You may have a point there. The best part of the feature for me now has turned to whether Long Beach used a position player to pitch.

May 12 Twin Cities 11 - Seattle 1 A late surge of runs by the River Monsters made this a FUBAR win, though Seattle didn't exactly help itself much by scoring just 1 run on 2 hits. Ramon Gabriel's 3 run homerun in the 6th inning got the barrage of runs going for Twin Cities. Gabriel ended the game w...

Sorry guys. Time to play catch up on these. I missed two sims in a row due to vacation, my son's baseball games, and a neighbor war over why I'm not self quarantining myself nor paying him to seal his driveway.... Without further ado, here is Sim 6 FUBARs. To be followed by Sim 7. May 5 None May 6 N...

Bump. Portland would like to add a lefty, power bat.

T hese TNs are told from the perspective of travelling moral supporter for the Portland Lumberjacks Kate Fiscus..... The Motel 6 here in Quincy is an average place. I lie back in the bed and flip the TV on to see what set of re-runs I can divulge myself into. A shadowy figure closes the bathroom do...

O ne of the biggest regretting move General Manager Chris Wilson made this off-season will likely go down as the team's acquisition of Jose Rios . At the time of the acquisition, Portland wasn't considering a chance at being competitive in 2043. Yes, some young rookies were going to debut but the t...

D rafting players in the Rule 5 draft is a crapshoot. About as much as the ammy draft it seems. Recently, more guys that do get drafted get returned to their team of origin rather than sticking with their new club. Whether it's no roster room or lack of good play, most guys don't cut it. But in 204...

YES YES YES!!!!

I was going to be disappointed if my defense wasn't in the top 10 this season. Infield is just mediocre, but my OF is probably the best defensive unit I've ever fielded.

Pos: Range/Defense ranking
LF: 9/12
CF: 10/11
RF: 8/9

April 28 San Antonio 10 - Wichita 0 After we went the entire sim last sim with 0 FUBARs, we kick this one off right away with one. Of course it took 6 runs by the Outlaws in the 8th inning to get it. Octavio Moreno hit a grand slam with 2 outs in the inning off of Bernardo Longorio to help achieve ...

T he Portland Lumberjacks organization has played 511 games in its history. It has never spent a day in solo first place. That streak continues on to this day but the franchise is getting closer. Very close. After a 5-1 week this past week where the team was 5-0 against Pacific teams, the Lumberjac...

So my family and I were supposed to take a family vacation this year to Colorado. That was the plan late last year in to this year. We were going to see the Rocky Mountains (At this point in my life I want to see things), catch a Rockies game as Coors field, hike, and take my youngest to a soccer ga...

5-1 in Portland!!!! Not sure that’s ever happened. 1 game back of 1st.

Enjoying it while it lasts.....
