The biggest change I would like to see would be the raising of the UMEBA's reputation a few weeks before our ST so we can get a few new signings in to play a full spring camp I agree with that. My normal post-sim routine after the file update: - check waiver wire - check free agents - see if any fr...

Case Study of hitters too good to go to the UMEBA Dance – at least with Beirut. This list makes up 9 of the top 10 free agent hitters when sorted by batting potential Hitters (Age in parenthesis followed by rating and then a brief comment) 3B Brendan Kerndl (27) 50 – 30HR guy with Phoenix in 2039 bu...

I did previously try to sign Adam Simons on a few occasions. He gave me the not interested message. I have about 12 of those guys that would fit into Beirut quite nicely but are not interested in the UMEBA and/ or Beirut.

As one of the UMEBA-ites who finished on the outside looking into the playoffs in a third place tie with an 84-78 record, I thought I would share a few thoughts. Take them from what they are worth since I do only have a season and a half under my belt in the Brewster. - In a lot of sports, some time...

With 6 games left between Istanbul and Manama (3 in each of the next 2 sims), this could be a race decided in the last sim.

Spectactors in Ulaanbaatar saw their team compile an 83-57 record during the 2040 A League season. If the 28 game improvement in AAA Victoria was inspiring, then the 49 game improvement over the Horde’s 34-106 record was downright gaudy. It resulted in the Horde securing a wild card slot. The team t...

As the first phase of the 2040 season comes to a close within the Beirut Cedar organization, the Dirt staff decided to provide a season recap of the first of its two farm teams’ regular season antics. The Victoria Tortoises have paced their way into finishing with a 65-79 record which is a hefty 30 ...

After a 6-0 sim pushed the Beirut Cedar record to 59-53 and 5 games out of the wildcard spot in the BANC, the radical fans in the Cedar camp are murmuring if a playoff run could be possible. The rest of the fans are feeling giddy as the Cedars are within 5 games of the win total for all of last year...

After a dismal 0-6 sim dropping the Cedars to 30-37 on the season, the Dirt staff decided to turn its focus today to the farm system. Today's look is at the Ulaanbaatar Horde Single A franchise. The team last year was only known for having more vowels than starting pitchers and sported a 34-106 reco...

By my quick skimming, I think the Banc record against the Burt after this past sim is 64-32.

Banc breakdown against the Burt is:
Beirut 14-10
Jerusalem 18-6
Bucharest 14-10
Mumbai 18-6

By contrast, the Beirut combined record against Jerusalem and Bucharest is a measly 10-20.

There will be a AA level added next year

Has there been any discussion on whether the UMEBA teams should keep extras on the minor league rosters this year or will it be up to picking up a butt load of free agents on minor league contracts in the next off season?

ooh - shiny. That's for the tip. Links added.

Interesting read. Although I have a 25, 26 and 27 year old on my A team, my over/under number for A ball is 24 years old. Back in my pre-Brewster days when there was also a AA club for each team, my A-ball max target age was 22 with my AA max target age being 26. Without the AA level, I am not sure ...

The inaugural draft for the new Cedar front office has come and gone. We have been through drafts elsewhere before, but none like the Brewster version via OOTP20. This is the initial thoughts of the 10 players drafted into the Cedar fold in 2040: 1. 1B Marco Acheson - Although it is well be-knownst ...

After a rocky 1 - 5 start in 2040, the Beirut Cedars have managed to climb back to .500 with a 21-21 record. It has the Potato Patch faithful pondering where the remainder of the 2020 season will take the Cedars. While a few of the faithful may be feeling giddy, let's ponder the following breakdown ...

There is not a happy nor sad face to be found. The morale page is gone as well as the tab on the bottom left of the player page.

I did not realize that OOTP gave out happy faces by looking at Beirut's morale.

As we hail the beginning of the first full season under new management of the Beirut season, the inaugural edition of the Beirut Dugout Dirt has been released. There should also be a disclaimer that I grew up a meek southern Indiana farm boy so those who take grammar seriously should enter these edi...

As the new Beirut management is getting settled in, one can't help but notice that 49 games have already passed and Game number 50 will be the initial contest of the next sim. At this point, the record over the last 49 games is 25-24 (compared to the 27-55 record prior to the takeover). This has man...

It was the top of the line system from Slate & Company back at that time. Roughly the same time as XT I think.

Thanks :) First two items on the agenda have already been initiated. First is a covert operation with details to follow once the operation has been exercised. Second, is to update the DDCC (Dugout Desperado Computer Center) from the current FR&C system (Flintstone Rock & Chisel) Stay tuned for futur...
