58.1- Goals (achieved, and not so much...)

All of us have different goals. The ultimate goal, of course, is to win a championship, or at least contend for one. For some teams, though, that isn’t realistic at this point in our team’s development. So…what the heck was I trying to do in 2057, and did I do it? And what should be some reasonable ...

57.24- 14 Thoughts On 14 Pitchers

Some day I will understand why pitchers immediately become ineffective as soon as I acquire them My current working theory is that I’ve assembled a group of ground-ball pitchers without giving them the primo defensive infield that would take advantage of their tendencies. Gonna fix that for 2058; if...

57.23- 19 Thoughts on 19 Players

With the season winding down, I thought I’d share some quick evaluations of the Gamblers rostered players, focusing on how they fit into my 2058 outlook. Let’s start with the position players: C SPENCER CLOUGH - A lefty hitter with some pop. I’m fine with him as half of a platoon, but I don’t feel c...

57.22- PR Handout

The regular season may be winding down, but there’s still plenty of action at the Ballpark At Bally’s, as the Gamblers continue to fight to the finish in the tough Atlantic Division. Bring your whole family and join in the fun! Of course, no true fan will want to miss the culmination of Ernesto Gonz...

He was voted to the all-star team 5 times, and was voted MVP of the Championship Series an amazing four times. 2025 was his best season; he led the leag...

Re: 2057 - A Bird's Eye View of the Trade Market

I did a quick head count, and by my count 25 of the last 28 players on the Discord trade block were over 30, and many of those are in the final year of their contracts. I love a trade as much as the next guy- maybe more than the next guy- but most of these guys just don’t make sense for a bottom-dwe...

57.21-My Staff Has a Hissy Fit

My assistant GM is a fine fellow, and he works hard for minimal salary, and he even got me my old office back after I got back from Saratoga. Our Hall of Fame is now housed in an abandoned weiner schnitzel restaurant on the stadium concourse. Who knew the demand for weiner schnitzel in New Jersey in...

I could easily have notified the newest member of the Atlantic City Gamblers Hall of Fame by phone, but I wanted to see the surprise and joy in his face when I gave him the news in person.

July turns to August, and here I sit in my little temporary (I hope) office, as usual looking for something to do. The draft is over and everyone is signed. The all-star break has happened. I’ve hired a couple of new coaches, but that’s about all I can get done on that front. I have a bit of budget ...
