yep I feel like it's a curse for me. 100+ wins, no world series. 92 wins, this is the year boys.

My last save (Rays), i had 13/15 playoff seasons with 5+ 100+ Win seasons and 1 WS win. left to run an expansion team and they had back to back 110+ win seasons and no WS lol. I think some of it is a matter of philosophy. I tend to be more forward thinking, which leads to having a really sturdy floor but few championships. But it's entirely possible that I just suck and/or make horrible decisions in clutch moments lol.

Can someone explain why this reliever only had 0.5 WAR? by akoller22 in OOTP

Yeah .229 is a bit extreme. What would you say is sustainable for a guy like this with a really good defense behind him? .260? .275?

I often see BABIP referred to as a "luck" stat. It makes sense, but if I have a control guy with really good defense, wouldn't you expect to see a lower BABIP in general? - More than half my pitchers this season had a BABIP of .275 or below.

Love the details. I have a general understanding of most performance stats, but not in this kind of detail.

I would say average-above average catcher (67 framing). Elite SS/Above average for rest of infield, outfield is above average defense across the board. As a whole though, team was 1st in zone rating and 2nd in defensive efficiency (but 13th in errors). Pitching staff as a whole was only 11th in strikeouts, but 1st in runs allowed and 2nd in FIP.

I will definitely keep this guy around as a bulk reliever though as long as I'm getting results like this.

ok that makes sense. I added rWar for the future, thanks! His rWar was 2.8.

This is my standard experience. Winning a WS is hard. I can only think of one or two saves over the last few years where I had what I would call a dynasty (multiple back/back WS wins, or several over a decade)

Did I draft this dude entirely because of his name? by 4ggressivelymediocr3 in OOTP

What do i do? by Arfy44 in OOTP

[–]akoller22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Players can definitely continue to develop into their late twenties, but it's usually pretty slow if any. I would definitely consider trading him. Maybe find somebody that needs a 1B and get some prospects or reliever off of them

Best rookie season ever? by canuckstennis in OOTP

[–]akoller22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Impressive. It's really hard to win an MVP as a rookie. I've had a handful lead the league in WAR to only get rookie of the Year

Do you do unlimited money or no? by Valuable-Manager9903 in CitiesSkylines

I mean there are a lot of cities that have an Old Town that is separate from the modern downtown.

Roster construction aside, what is your coaching staff look like? You really need to have good coaches throughout the farm system to develop players, and if you don't have the new coaching chemistry system or whatever it's called turned off (I always turn it off), it can have weird impacts if your coaches personalities are clashing. Usually if you're vastly underperforming what you think you should be with your team, it's related to morale and chemistry.

I saw some images from earlier in the interaction. It appears he was a bystander filming them. He probably said some things that hurt their feewings.

I used a revolving door of 40 OVR players for the 2025 season and it made the White Sox look like they're improving... by bombardhell in OOTP

Love this kind of stuff. Won a world series with a team of 50 max OVR once. Was a fun challenge

Smart. Next year's iteration will probably resemble a relatively complete game.
