Chicago Spends 20 Points

The Chicago Black Sox would like to spend 20 points to send pitcher Phil Brown of AA Beloit to the Lee Smith School of Bullpen Bad-Assery to convert him to a full-time relief pitcher. Please keep his Sinker and Change-up, and throw out the slider and splitter.

Thanks, Matt!

Re: Pharaoh Moans (2045-01): UMEBA Baseball Back in Cairo, Woody Donahue New GM

Nice to have Cairo back in the league - it was one of the signature franchises in the early years, and promises to be one again. It’s no Mumbai, of course (former Metro Stars GM here), but it’s outstanding to have it back.

Best of luck - and have fun!

Re: The BBA Today #81 - 2045 Hits the Post Season

I like the idea of tracking saves+holds: it would reflect modern BBA bullpen usage more accurately than saves alone.

Of course Nate Silver’s Goose Egg would be better, still, but that would require heavier lifting to calculate.

Egregious PP scheme. I resign.
Wait. If you resign, does that mean Boise will go undefeated through the playoffs?
