Open league teams with AAA compete with $90M theme leagues in TOC's, I do believe...the OL and progressive teams are handicapped against those $90M squads.

A good AAA draw will push into the $100m TOC... definitely handicapped there

so okay. good point. post edited

but now

do tell

how do they keep the income coming in

these days

Dynasty. It’s why it gets all the update and refresh priority.

dynasty. not what i'm talking about

i'm talking about simleague baseball

i'm talking about draining the swamp

i'm talking to new management

recommending they discount any advice they get from players/usernames who make money off the baseball sim

because players/usernames who make money off the baseball sim are washington lobbyists

predominant interest: keep that milk flowin

How many here making suggestions are fat catting it? You think it's a lot? I get an occasional few bucks for qualifying for postseason. I win a ring occasionally. Other than my theme founder credits, I pay cash to play here. I've won 2 TOC in 18 years. I spend lord knows how many times as much here as you do, so please STFU.

so when the man quits buying you amazon cards you will hang tough

you are here for the long haul

for the love of the game

I haven’t won a World Series (or been to one) since my return to WIS. I don’t play to win and I certainly don’t play OL to try and rack in the GC’s.

so yes, I’m here for the love of the game...why else would I be here? Lol

Are we talking specifically about veteran owners who farm noobs in OLs, or all winning veteran owners?

apparently the latter

looks like my initial read of low-bottom hating was correct

I play some themes at the peril of my W/L success, but that's on me for having fun. So no, it's not about all winning vets. It's the 1-trick pony OL ones. Most contributors here I respect to varying degrees for their advice and opinion, but this one isn't about you. Probly not sprisingly, and this is far from the first time this topic has been raised in my short time here, the guilty parties are always quiet. They know who they are. I know who you are. Just once I dare any of them to join the conv and say "yeah, I'm that copycat cookie-cutter guy. And ?"

The Title says Sim Baseball, yet this has turned into another attack thread. Very disappointing. I love baseball, creating teams, and trying to compete. Some of those attacked here are those that have reached out and helped me and others. For the second time in a week I’ve decided to block someone. In the year+ I’ve been playing theme leagues I’ve never done that. I come here to have fun, not see others attack good people.

Well if it bothers people so much that I play to win Theme Leagues, then I guess I’ll join more of them >:D

I play open leagues, and let me tell you, there's still plenty of Addie Joss. Faced a team in the season just completed that had an all-Addie Joss starting rotation.

Addie Joss in an $80M league seems like money poorly spent imo... but I dont play in those leagues, so idk....

I'm in my first open league right now and there is a team called "Addie II". Why? Well...he's got two different Addie Joss years.

there are a lot of good/usable joss years available in the sim.
