UNFREAKING REAL ...

PostSat Aug 24, 2019 7:34 am

Would you ever in your wildest dreams believe that a team in an 80 MILL LEAGUE with Barry Bonds, Ted Williams, Jack Clark (the expensive one), John McGraw and Jimmy Wynn (again the expensive one) would be dead last in their league in offense????

This is a team with 80+% of it's budget spent on offense. And what has it gotten me?

Dead Last in Runs Scored and and Dead Last in Team Batting Average (a whopping .183 through 15 games a full 50 points lower than any other team).

I have never seen a team underperform like this in my 300+ teams. Yes, it's early, but this is getting ridiculous. C'mon HAL lighten up a little. Sheesh.

That is unbelievable! It is also unnerving, since I've just dipped into an $80 million league that you are in and have that expensive McGraw on my squad! Hope ole Johnny boy gets that slump out of his system before carrying it over to my team.

McGraw is a great value ... usually. I doubt you'll end up disappointed.

Check out this recent season from him:

I'm not sure what you were thinking here Rich. You have a walk and HR team in Forbes 57. I'm not crazy about that kind of offense anyway , but it only works in a high ballpark HR type of park. You don't have any HITS on your cards!

This team was clearly built for the walks contest, but I'm expecting the team to hit above .200, actually in forbes 57 I expect 300 avg and 400+ obp.

I think/hope it's just bad rolls right now. If you see me jettisoning players that means I've given up. On the bright side you've gotta be loving it since I'm in your division. LOL.

Well, I think you're a better player than I am , so if you hand me a "gimme" ; really, what else can I do but say thanks?
