This is what you get when you play service times games with Mountcastle.

Can't say I'm surprised. 

Now watch the next CBA make the manipulation meaningless.

The more you look at the options the more you realize this team's offense without Mancini and Mountcastle early on is pretty weak. Heck, I've already had to bat Rio Ruiz 3rd.

We’re 2-4 in mine. Do you know how we can get Mancini back in the sim? Will he be back at some point this season or can we make it happen? I couldn’t find him in the game but I’m still learning it and may have missed an injured list or something.

How long until you break down and try to acquire some help?  Or are you going to go full Elias and just stick it out?  In my sim Carlos Beltran is still active at 42 (and wasn't bad at 41), and he's just sitting there on the free agent list, asking for way too much money.  At least in my universe there are always a few free agents hanging out, hoping for an injury or a weak-willed GM into April.

If you're not playing challenge mode you can just edit his injury status back to healthy, or only a few days left injured/IL'd.  Then give him a rehab assignment to make things realistic.

If you're in challenge mode I think you're stuck with whatever the game gives you.

If you can't find him, just enter "Mancini" in the search box at the top.

I'm trying to be as realistic as possible so I put him on the 60 day DL when he was listed as out for 4-weeks by the sim. I'm hoping real baseball will be back or preparing to get back by that time and we'll have some news on him, but I'm guessing he was going to miss all of this year or at least a good portion.

No, I'm going to search the waiver wire and put guys like Givens, Cobb and Bleier on the trading block and hoping to get decent offers. I've already executed a waiver claim on a pitcher and will announce that today before tonights game.

Gotcha, I finally found the injured list and see his status. I will likely take him when he's available in the game haha. I might call Mount up around that time too so it probably means the end for Davis (1-21 with 9 K's so far). I'll have to figure that out.

Davis has been awful for me as well.

      You must choose a 26-man roster from 26 seasons. Here are the rules. Ignore 2020 Select 13 position players, with 9 starters and 4 bench players Select 13 pitchers, with 5 starters and 8 relievers You can only select one player from each season from 1998-2024 (exclude 2020) You can only select a given player ONCE  Starting pitchers have to be starting pitchers, relievers have to be relievers I will amend rules as appropriate from any suggestions you have. Go.

      Rutschman 2nd half OPS .585 - McCann’s 2nd half OPS .785

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Adley's teams have beaten Witt's teams by about 25 games/season the last 2 years and hopefully can maintain a lead the next 2-3 days. If McCann bats 9th, and Ragans is gone before Batter Faced #27, would the risk of forfeiting the DH be considered if a righty reliever is attacking McCann in a key spot?    Hyde has at least Kjerstad and Holliday on the bench, and maybe one of Mullins or Cowser if Slater starts. I am guessing the roster tomorrow will be 14 bats and 12 arms, so you might have one extra somebody for the team's 36th or 45th plate appearance. One factor against taking the chance...zombie runner is gone so the two teams could have long extra innings for the first time all year.

      Cardinals open to trading Sonny Gray

      By casadeozo · Posted

      Not sure if it’s been shared already, but saw this and thought he would totally make sense as someone to target in the offseason. Cardinals are looking to reduce payroll, though not sure what a reasonable offer looks like for a 35 year old pitcher making 25 million a year for the next two years. A very light free agent class this year. Someone will definitely overpay for Burnes and I hope it’s not the Orioles. Severino, Buehler, Bieber and Max Fried are also intriguing. What say you? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/09/report-cardinals-open-to-offers-on-sonny-gray.html

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I was looking that up too. He was in the bullpen throughout 2018 brewers run. Had a very solid first playoff start in 2021, then a not so good one in 2023 as you posted. Postseason is a different animal, and he’s got some experience, but he’s not proven in the playoffs. Time to make that money Corbin!
