i have always maintained that there should be a toggle for each individual team that allows you to switch back and forth between the two on your own screen.

Looks like i'm the only one under 30! There is not a lot of us out there that play spreadsheet baseball though...

There’s been a few under 30 throughout the years. Not sure how many under 20 though.

i started in my 20s, but ya not many i dont think.

i actually like the pitcher you got more mike...

So hey. Just looked at the draft. It appears we have ONE comp pick. If that's how the system goes now, and we're barring playoff teams from getting comp picks, this isn't even really a topic of conversation. No reason to even talk about it. it makes sense to limit them to non-playoff teams, but the...

Another major issue with relative ratings is they get all skewed at points like the off-season and September when rosters are in flux.

Easy HoFer Yeah I would think so as well but we'll see! 300 Wins and 3,000 strikeouts would have made it 100% no questions asked but I hope even this stingy lot sees to voting him in first ballot. Only 1 person in the history of the BBA has 300 wins (and Steve Nebraska probably shouldn't count for ...

In a trade thread, it was mentioned that retention has to be in 10% increments. I'm not seeing that in the Constitution. Did I overlook it? Not a big deal to me but I want to make sure I'm not looking in the wrong place whenever Ii want to review rule clarifications. i think the issue is that the g...

In the end I believe he left over some frustration. IIRC he missed a late season Saturday sim. Which reminds me -- there's a SATURDAY SIM TODAY! That was the final straw, but there was a lot brewing under the surface there. I still maintain this place was a better league with an active and engaged ...

Those trades Randy made in the late 40s to make failed playoff pushes still haunt San Fernando. First off, at some point you have to stop bitching about moves I made. It is older than the pope at this point (plus I ended up flipping wullenweber anyway). Secondly, Brickell was a secondary player in ...

Both make sense.

Eliminate NTC next?

Nah. Giving out NTCs is on the GM. You dont like them, dont offer them.

Ya even as a GM who has given 1x NTC in over 20 seasons, I think they should stay.

I spend 210 from my oodles of PPT to bump my in-game cash up to 20m (i started this season at -950K).

Or, "Growing teams should use this “feature” of our system more often, but really it’s used by the best (most skilled) GMs"

I cannot access that link. Not sure why.

I'm guessing it is on the GB forum that us peons don't have access to.

i would be ok with killing them, regardless i like the idea of making them only for non-playoff teams that we do now.

One of the major issues with karywabwite is that across almost the last 2/3 of his career (11 seasons), he was only a league average hitter 3 times (was 10 of 18 overall in that regard). By the time he hit 27 he was basically cooked at the plate, which isnt great for his candidacy.

Despite seeing a significant improvement from 2052 to 2053 spurred on by bringing in some big name (and high priced) acquisitions, the Kernels are in reasonable cap shape heading forward. The only two notable free agents are SP Jay Hodge and 3B Roberto Rivera, both of whom were in-season rentals. Th...

Complete and utter joy in Des Moines at the idea of playing playoff baseball for the first time in 45 years quickly turned to despair and frustration as the team was swept out of the playoffs by the underdog Louisville Sluggers. The Kernels finished comfortably ahead of the Sluggers in the regular s...

For the first time in multiple generations, the Des Moines Kernels will be playing playoff baseball. The historic futility of this franchise is well documented, with their last playoff appearance coming in 2008 (for reference the new longest drought is only since 2043). This is exactly the outcome t...

Damn that was beautiful to read.
