[Lightning Flik 0]

Well, it's nice to know that I'm off to a good start to the new year.

 

And Evo, why have I never had any changes to my stats during training camp? Ever since you've done them, never once has Edward James changed during it. Or at least it is seeming that way over the last five seasons or so.

 

But anyways, hopefully the Jokers do well in the off-season.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

I'm going cuh-raaaazy with anticipation on the stats of my first start. I'm not going to ask for the stats of all my starts, but the first one is important.

[A Happy Medium 0]

0-4...score...

 

I'm hoping to bat .250 in April, .300 on base percentage, and hopefully 10 stolen bases.

Notes: In his third season, Timothy Marsch is on pace for an amazing season in 2017. If he keeps up his performance that won him the Batter of the Month for April, he can finish with 258 hits, 45 doubles, 19 triples, 45 homeruns, and 161 runs batted in. The only hope that "Ion" can hold out is that he doesn't suffered the fractured knee that took a good portion out of the second half of his 2015 season.

 

The three rookies are all looking rather green, except for Adam West, who is showing some promise and might be a frontrunner for the Fresh Fish Award at the conclusion of the season.

 

Peter Kostka continues his odyssey of going from reliever to starting pitcher and somehow being one of the more consistently good pitchers in TSM history.

 

Brandon Rhodes and John Duran won't be making history anytime soon. Rhodes was sent all the way down to AA to work on his skills, while Duran has gone to AAA in the waning years of his career, which will likely be over before long.

 

In the spirit of Frigid's report, I will be doing a Fact or Fiction article shortly recapping April in a nutshell.

 

Oh, and Frigid's first start:

 

No-decision, 4 1/3 IP, 7 HA, 5 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 5 Ks

[Angel_Grace_Blue 0]

Just a few things, Evo. You should change the link in your "personal website" thing, and maybe it was mentioned before and the idea was scrapped, but could you maybe list total Ks for pitchers?

 

Come on Atlanta, kick some ass!!

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Well as a rookie I'm doing alright I suppose. Getting shelled in my first start is no big surprise. It appears I have a good K per 9 rate however. Perhaps Jenkins can work with me~

[Lightning Flik 0]

Evo, if Las Vegas continues to be in a hole during this season, I'd ask to have myself shopped around to help them out.

 

I'm getting the feeling I'm hindering the club, and not helping it to become better. So if we are dead last, shop me around. But from the looks of things, I'm not going to be a high commodity.

[Sly 0]

LA is leading the division!!!

 

 

... in April...

 

 

... but we did smack the shit out of Las Vegas~!

[HarleyQuinn 0]

You're hurting them eh Flik? Uh...hello *waves* I'm the guy hitting barely at .260 for the whole freaking season heh

[Lightning Flik 0]

...uh, last I checked HarleyQuinn, you are hitting .237, I'm hitting .260.

 

Yes, you ARE rated higher than me.

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

I'm outhitting everybody and 11th. I'm the Alex Sanchez of SFBL.

[Rob E Dangerously 0]

Robert Henderson (.318, 9 HR, 19 RBI)

 

Trade Value going up..

 

aww yeah.. MVP time

[Guest Evolution]

Total strikeouts will now be added to the pitcher stats in the rankings.

 

And Eddy J, a good general rule would probably be to have you shopped around if the Jokers are still dead last going into the first of July. That's around the all-star break, and that gives teams a full month to view you on the trading block.

 

For reference on the strikeout issue:

 

Name (Strikeouts)

Peter Kostka (32)

Eric LeBeau (28)

Frigid Soul (24) <--- that's an 8.4 K/9 ratio, FS.

Marvin Jenkins (22)

Gabriel Cirillo (21)

Giant Gonzales (20)

Nigel McClain (19)

Ann Onita (9)

Rolf Dreikugeln (6)

Ben Dover (0)

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Once my guy gets more experience he's going to fucking rule. For a rookie that's a great K/9 ratio.

[KingPK 0]

I find it funny that I've been raking in the K's ever since I became a starter, but the last two scouting reports I've seen say I still need to find my "out" pitch.

 

I need to get the ERA down a little, though. 3 and a half is a bit too high for my taste.

[A Happy Medium 0]

Any chance I can see how many stoeln bases I have?

[hhh6294 0]

CHA: Joseph Corbin was injured while running the bases.

Diagnosis: Torn Thigh Muscle.

He is definitely out for the season!

 

figures.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Hopefully Oklahoma just suffered from a slow start, but it seems like we're turning things around. Last 10 games we're 7-3. Hell, if we were in the west we would be a game back of first.

[Guest eppeedancer]

If I can just get on base, I am ok but man has it been rough hitting.

Tim

[A Happy Medium 0]

3-10 at home, 8-5 away for my Freedom Fries...wtf?

 

Is there is a new stadium option in this game?

[Guest Evolution]

Couple of notes:

 

I realized that there is not a lot of material for a Fact/Fiction after the first month of the season, so I'm saving it for midseason when I will also be having the league leaders posted.

 

Dehn stole 13 bases in April. May has already been simulated, and the report for that month is on the way. I'll be expanding the rankings to include some other stats besides batting average, homeruns, and runs batted in. Pitchers will also get expanded stats aside from W-L record, earned run average, and component ERA.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

For pitchers, if they have the option of showing it might I suggest WHIP and Walks added. That way the pitchers would see their

 

Win-Loss record, Ks, BBs, ERA, and WHIP.

[Guest Obrechtion]

Stolen bases would be a nice one to have for batters.

[Guest Evolution]

An update:

 

I'm becoming very worried at my condition right now. I'm pretty sick, and I have been off and on for the past couple of weeks. I've been taking medication, hoping that it'll mercifully go away, but so far, no luck. It's gotten really bad lately, to the point where it's affecting me mentally to the point where I just can't get motivated to do an SFBL update. I know I should update it, but I just can't at this point. Hopefully I'll feel better after some rest, but I don't know.

 

Sorry to do this, but until I post it, don't expect an SFBL update.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

If its just the flu then get some rest and drink juice, if its the black plague or something like that then go to the hospital. Feel better soon...cause I want my update hehe

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

Yes or No question: are we allowed to create a deadpool on you?

[Guest Evolution]

I'm still alive, and feeling slightly better thanks to the 1-2 punch of cough drops and DayQuil.

Logan Caldwell ropes 2000th career hit

 

DETROIT - Detroit's Logan Caldwell showed a smile on his face after he got his 2000th career hit against Vancouver on Wednesday. His hit in the 3rd inning was a double off Georgie Stanback. Along with his 2000 hits, Logan collected 301 homeruns and 1167 RBI in 11 seasons. 'It's hard to believe that I did it. I want to thank my family, my friends and my teammates!'

I can't believe you only traded Henderson for one player. You'd figure he'd be worth that pictcher, maybe one or two good role players, two first round picks and a second round pick, or something similiar.

 

Anyway. Props for coming through with the update, Duran, although the new stats listing is a little crowded.

 

-Z

[Guest Evolution]

I'll leave it up to people to decide what stats they want to keep in the batting category. I've just thrown in some basic ones, and if there's a consensus on some that are just clutter, I'll throw them out.

 

Just wanted to be detailed and such.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

My poor ERA...evidently I need to lower my walks. If I'm striking out as many as I am and walking that many too then I'm not lasting too long. Walks go down and my IP go up.
