Don’t you love it when you drop 3 of 4, play like crap, and then just beat the piss out of a team to end the slump?

I wish, I'm getting absolutely wrecked in my Rangers franchise at the moment. I'm currently 4-11. Just got swept by the Jays and had an 8-1 lead in the final game that me and the bullpen blew to lose 10-9. Lost 2 out of 3 to the Angels in the next series and have just lost 2 in a row to the Astros.

I can't hold onto a lead with my bullpen and they can't keep me in a game when I fight back to keep it close. And I can't buy a hit with Roughned Odor, hitting .073 through 15 games. Not too far off where the Ranger are in the real world though.

I'm using dynamic difficulty and go up and down between All-Star and HOF. I may need to set it on All-Star and leave it.

Grab a couple of arms off of the FA market on one year deals. If one works out you could sign longer term!

I've started an A's franchise and done one trade thus far landing SP Danny Duffy and CP Kelvin Herrera for some prospects.
Lineup
1. CF Jorge Mateo
2. RF Stephen Piscotty
3. 2B Jed Lowrie
4. 1B Matt Olson
5. DH Khris Davis
6. SS Marcus Semian
7. C Johnathan Lucroy
8. 3B Matt Chapman
9. LF Boog Powell
Rotation
1. Sean Manea
2. Danny Duffy
3. Daniel Mengdan
4. Henderson Alvarez
5. Andrew Triggs

I'm looking at Barreto and Puk as possible midseason call ups and I'm looking for another solid hitter to slide at the 3. Any suggestions?

I wish I would lose more. In my franchise, I am 47-12 with the freaking Tigers. Pitching on Legend difficulty, and now hitting on Hall Of Fame (though I started on All Star, and didn't switch to HOF until May).

My starters have been absolutely dominating. Bullpen has been pretty good overall. Luckily the meltdowns they have had came in games where I was up big, or games where I found a way to come back late in games. I have had a couple games where I walked off in the 9th inning in come from behind fashion, including one game in April, where I was trailing 7-5 in the bottom of the 9th, tied it, then Victor Martinez hit a walk off grand slam.

I really can't go up much more in difficulty. Hopefully, as the dog days of summer hit (I am just now starting June) I will start to slump a little bit more, and come back to the pack a little bit.

Hello everybody!

I'm bacon96, the creator of a fictional roster, contributor to OS and a long time player on The Show.

I am primarily been a franchise player and decided to start one with my fictional roster while posting on here regularly for anyone who would like to follow.

I have tons of screenshots in my arena and I have also uploaded some gameplay as well for anyone who is interested in taking a look at any of that!

See my thread or PM me for more details about the roster. That's all guys. Just wanted to quickly tell y'all about my work

Anyone got some spare outfielders I can borrow?

After getting off to a surprisingly decent 5-2 start, reality is starting to hit the Rays after losing 3 in a row, conceding over 10 in each of the games and scoring 2 or less. The team ERA has jumped up to nearly 6, while the deluge of quality left handed pitching in the AL East has been too much for a lineup that has basically only Wilson Ramos who prefers lefty pitching.

Brad Miller and his weird lack of follow through swing has been the star of the team with 4 homers and 9 RBI's, all against righties, but the undoubted weak link so far is Hechevaria, who has only picked up 1 hit in the first 10 games of the season and some downright awful defence on top of that.
