Interesting that you did a simulation if the Orioles had signed Grich and Reggie Jackson to extensions.  Would be interesting to see what would have happened if we hadn't traded Decinces for Dan Ford.   Or didn't trade for Glenn Davis.

Should stream the games on twitch or youtube, and have the board comment in a virtual game thread.

This game is awesome. First year I’ve played so tons of learning to do. 

I’m through a season and a half so far and while 2020 was rough 2021 looking good so far. I was pretty quick to move some starters to the pen and have had success there.

I did not make that trade either!  Maybe one day I'll write it all up. It was fun and pretty cool how it worked out.

Ha, that would be fun but i don't think I'm up to speed on how to do that with OOTP.

From my long-term alternate universe sim on OOTP:

[DrungoHazewood]

Also, Billy Rowell career MLB line of .257/.339/.436 in 5700 PAs with 197 homers and 21 WAR.  Orioles with four 100-win seasons since '15, 115-47 in '16 and drew 3.7M, but no Championships.  And I have nothing to do with the team, I'm GM of a fictional team in another league.

Looks like Wieters is a Hall of Famer in Drungo's alternate reality.  

I might check this game out.

Sold!

I also saw a review on another website yesterday, apparently they have all kind of random, obscure leagues.  Like the Czech baseball league was an option.

My long-term sim is kind of ludicrous.  I have the majors, the real minors, the Continental League as a 3rd major, three levels of Continental League minors, the indy leagues as they existed in 2006, the leagues in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Germany, Netherlands, Mexico, China, Cuba, several winter leagues, 5-6 fictional indy leagues, a Greenland Ice Baseball League, and a league in Sao Tome and Principe that plays a 230-game schedule.  50 leagues in total.  I closely follow my team in Whitehorse, Yukon in the CBL, and occasionally browse around the rest of the universe to see what kind of crazy things are happening.  Almost every league is free to trade with and sign free agents from every other one.  My league has been going since 1988, the rest of the universe since 2006.  The league files are like 8 Gb.

[DrungoHazewood]

And if you really want some insight into the depths of my madness, I'm in the midst of a project to fix the ancient history of the Continental League.  When I discovered OOTP in 2000 I imported the CBL, but due to obscure technical reasons I couldn't bring in all the history.  When I go to the history tabs everything is complete from 2000-on, but pre-1999 is kind of a mess.  I'm trying to import hundreds upon hundreds of old players so that they appear in team histories and leaderboards using text/spreadsheet imports/exports.  It'll probably take many, many work-days to complete.  All for a league that never really existed except in my head.

Perfect for a lazy corona virus telework month.

Ted Williams as a catcher.

This game reminds me some of a game I played years ago. Tony Larussa baseball.
