Sounds of the series: Wolves Public Address: “Please refrain from tossing your IPA’s on the field.”

I hope it's ok to toss saisons and pilsners and other new age crafty stuff?

A farewell to arms.

Alan just proving that a competitive team can be put together with enough effort. Even with the "unwinnable" situation in Twin Cities.

He was the best antedote for that team.

So the major league option is actually a major league mandate? Useless. No, not a mandate, not all players who accepted minor league deals with a ML option decide to leave. Its a roll of the dice. Like in RL baseball. Here are the ones who did in the last sim, a lot of guys but I doubt this is ever...

An odd side note in Dodge City is centerfielder Chuck Dickens opting out of his split contract at the 30-day mark, while he was still on the IL.

When asked to describe his tenure with Rockville, Dickens said simply, 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.'

I expect us both to fall out of the sky any time now.

Me three. I can't even bring myself to write a TN about the results so far because I know that'll end it.

Hell, even this reply is certain to jinx things. Fuckin' baseball gods.

Any relation to Otto? Or Manuel? By the way, here's the latest on Elmer, now in the Chicago organization. In 2050 he threw for 126 innings and hand 20 starts, resulting in a WAR that was precisely 0.0. This season he was demoted to AAA after his Stuff and Movement ratings dropped considerably, and t...

Nice hire! It’s genetic!

Clearly, his uniform number will be 69.

That's reserved for AC's pick, Earl Cox.

If ammys were evaluated solely on best mustaches and best uniforms, Joseph 'Jo Mama' Mother would have been #1 overall. https://statsplus.net/brewster/reports/news/html/images/person_pictures/player_49284.png I was hoping to grab him at #19 but no, jiminyhopkins beat me to the mother with the 18th p...

Great job, love these takes. Keep 'em coming!

Minor nitpick: Hong's walkoff for CHI on April 7 was a single, not a sac fly. (And truthfully the baserunner Colason should get partial credit, scoring from second with a play at the plate in the bottom of the 13th).

Love this format. Probably gonna steal it.

El Paso receives: RP Daniel González (DFA) Chicago receives: RP Bryce Sparks (AA) Submitted in game. Commish please place Sparks on AAA roster and in the bullpen as middle relief. Thanks. Thanks, John for the easy deal and good luck to the Chilis! True story: John claimed Sparks from Edmonton, whic...
