This exact thing happened to me with the Guardians. Missed the playoffs by two games. Ended up trading for Corbin Burns after he made an extension and got a good International pitcher, made a few minor trades and won the World Series in 2025! With Austin Hedges as the catcher I think our pitching carried us pretty hard. Here's to hoping you get some lucky trades next year!

Nice! Love your vids (short for videos). Not going back to check all your “vids” but a Reds sim would be cool. Under thought about historic franchise who is young rn. YEAH

LEMME TALK TO YA: Here's a Reds video I did for OOTP 23: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8B0hc2i3aq2n58.html They are definitely in a fun spot, but trading Luis Castillo is major points against me wanting to do a sim with them :)

So excited for this years series, love listening to your thought process. Orioles save is boring this year (irl dynasty inbound letsgooo) and Red Sox are in such a weird spot, lots of ways to approach it.

I had one playthrough where the Sox were around .600 in July, still partly believe that was a bug introduced with the latest update.

What the heck is Oakland doing with a 61-40 record and leading the AL West?!?!? . . . can't wait to see how this story ends . . . wow that was some strange stuff. I think Fangraphs gave Oakland a 2% chance to make the playoffs and you found it! The Astros with 75 wins is almost as unlikely as the Dodgers with 84 (did OOTP suspend Ohtani for gambling or something? 🤣) I can only assume both teams had a horrible rash of injuries.
@meebs_473 ай бұрын
Ran a few sims of the latest patch, ohtani had one save where he hit 54 homers and pitched 2 innings giving up 3 homers? so gonna investigate more into what happened there lol.

Waited a year on Casas in my sim in '25 and extended him after a mid year for 6/52m, 18.1 combined WAR, 131 wRC+/135 OPS+ in the 5 years that followed. Decent value!

If you like fun guys, sign Makoto Kamiya (I forget what year). He averaged, per 162 games, 58 HR and 129 RBI for me while also hitting .195 and striking out 301(!!) times. One season he hit 42 HR and 100 RBI with an 83 WRC+. lol He won a gold glove that year and had a negative WAR.

Unless something has changed with range at 3b under the hood, you can get away with a low range dude if his arm is good. But I've seen a lot weird with zone ratings so far this season, beyond just this.
