    Re: ***The Official OOTP Thread***

    In my 2015 season I went 87-75, 3rd in the division but still got a wild card spot. We had to play LAA in the wild card game and we won. Then we had to play the tigers in the ALDS and we won in 6 games. So by now I was thinking "Holy crap, maybe I can make it to the world series!" we had to face the mariners in the ALCS. We lost the first two then won 2 in a row. Lost the next then forced a game 7. We lost but I wasn't too dissapointed, I mean I didn't think I was going to the playoffs but I forgot to check the wildcard standings lol.

    In the 2016 offseason I signed Alex Gordon and Robbie Ross. I hope I can get back to the playoffs this year!

      Quick Q.

      If I choose to be a Manager only, could I get new job offers to Manage other teams?

        Yes, its usually at the end of the season. You will get messages that say:"so and so has been fired by the cubs" (or whoever) so then you can look at the available jobs list and apply for the cubs organization.
        I have never applied for another team but may have to in the future.

          Is there any way to possibly go back in time in a game? I applied for a GM for the Yankees but it took all the fun out of it so I want to go back to the Astros. I know I can go to commish mode and just take over the astros but they have made some roster moves and I would like to have the same roster. Any help?

            Doubt you can go back in time.

            First year with Rox, 81-60 in first place of the NL West. 1/2 game ahead of the Giants, I fully expect to not win the division. I didn't make any trades, so I'm kind of surprised at this success I'm having.

                Funny you mentioned this, he just went on the DL and my team needs him right now. On an 8 game losing streak, now 1 game behind the Brewers for the 2nd WC spot.

                Now I lost CarGo for 6 weeks, ugh.

                Edit: Finished 87-75, and had to play the Reds a 1 game playoff for the 2nd WC spot. Lost the game in the 14th inning, my team chocked.

                    I sim most games, I play interesting pitching match ups. When I say interesting pitching match ups, it means when the opposing team has a great pitcher starting, since the Rockies have 0 great starting pitchers.

                    Milwaukee wins the WS in 5 over the Texas Rangers.

                              Needed a SP(as you can tell, I had this same issue in my 1st Rox save lol) traded away Fowler to get one. I love Fowler, but he's been injured way too much and my OF depth is insane in this game. Traded Fowler, Trevor Story (2nd best prospect, but he's a SS and I have this guy named Tulo), Johnny Herrera, other minor leaguers for Clay Bucholtz + minor leaguers.

                              I just noticed that Dickey pitched 277 innings Won the AL Cy Young, and Aroldis Chapman won the NL Cy Young as a closer.

                              Jhoulys Chacin won the GG for me, I guess he better had a good glove since he was 9-13 with 6.66 ERA. I still let him start since after I sent him down and called up Chatwood, Chatwood had a season ending injury. And the fact that I have no pitching depth.

                              Trying to shed some salary, I offered Cuddyer. And the Royals offered Eric Hosmer for him Tried to keep it realistic so I didn't accept that.

                                My Pitching is a Joke. Seriously.

                                vs the Phillies, 6-0 lead by the third inning, we lose in 14.

                                vs the Dodgers 6-0 lead in the fifth, the Dodges then score 10 runs over the next 2 innings.

                                vs the Royals, 6-0 lead in the 4th, we lost in 9.

                                Half the time I just end up laughing because I half-expect it by now.
