Custello is having a 4+ WAR career year.

Prob 3.3 of that WAR is defense…and he still is not worth $11m thru ‘62

My manager may be the 2nd-most overpaid individual in the BBA…with #1 being 2B Marcello Custello (also, coincidentally, with Boise)

Hilliard shouldn't have been in center. He's a SP lol. My team is so tired the AI is putting pitchers in the field.

Wow, you're right! Hilliard is listed in the box score at CF and committing 2 errors:

https://i.imgur.com/vNcffIJ.png Sim #18 had us here at The Watch thinking the dog days of summer were sapping the urge to revel in dramatics, but Sim #19 picked up the slack and how with 3 walkoffs on the 7th of August, 4 on the 8th, and 5(!) on the 11th. A couple of teams almost fueled the surplus...

Caleca nominee for me!

From you?! I'm humbled...

The main reason we switch sooner rather than later is and has always been recruiting. I think this makes the move necessary (and always will). I imagine it's impossible to recruit GMs having to tell them "oh, and we're a version behind" while folks who have just purchased the game will be looking f...

I had my ace Doug Eckhoff lined up to start the opener of a 4-game series against Jacksonville after the break.

By the way, I just noticed a mistake in the subject line: it should read Boise/Rockville. Rocky Mountain can't be blamed for this trade in any way! I've gotten my "Rock-" franchises mixed up myself.

Doh! Fixed.

I'll DFA Hill.

Place Leach in #4 spot in ML rotation.
