2015 Discussion Thread

Some interesting news items that are out of whack this sim...

PJ Foley hitting record home run 49 - when he actually hit 58 in 2014.

Norberto Leon being mentioned as having the most wins with 22, when Sepulveda got 23 last season.

Weird, it's as if any records set in 2014 aren't being picked up in the news items.

Oh well, the season and career leaderboards show the correct information.

Congrats to those who have made the playoffs, and good luck to the 3 teams still in it in the PL.

Hmm strange. Not sure what's going there...

Win Puts Le?n in Record Book
Friday, September 18th, 2015
Jorge Montoya no longer holds the top spot for most wins in a season. His league record has been shattered by Norberto Le?n of the North Carolina, who chalked up victory number 22 today at Bojangles Stadium. When the game was decided, the fans gave him a tremendous standing ovation. Speaking after the game Le?n said, "It takes a lot to win 22 in a season at this level... gotta stay healthy... Need a good bullpen... and it never hurts to get a lot of runs on the scoreboard. This season it all came together for me."

His record this year is 22-4 in 33 starts and Le?n has a 2.37 ERA.

In other news, we hit only 4 HR in the entire sim today... which is what I was afraid of.  I may sit Chavez for the final sim, because if he gets hurt I've got NO power left.

They spread lies in the North Carolina papers, Sepulveda won 23 games in 2014... lol - although Leon might get to 24 if starts twice in the next sim.

lol

I like that he "shattered" the old record of 23 with his 22nd win.

Yeah and even then if it was Montoya's record he had 22 wins in 2013, and only 21 in 2014... weird how the news is doing this, also did it on the home runs with Foley as well.

I wonder if the false record claims is an OOTP 14 bug?

More like propaganda out of Colorado and North Carolina aimed at drumming up support during the playoffs

We don't count records from 'minor league' teams like New Jersey.

Ha zing!

We got you guys 15-8 in the regular season so hopefully we can make it through the first round. Hopefully we don't meet Ohio, they've had our number this year, and surprisingly Ontario also has a chance to have a winning record against us this year - ouch that would really hurt.

[Chappy]

Yeah, I don't know why we can't beat you...  I think all 3 seasons we've posted pathetic records vs Jersey even though we've had the edge on almost every other team.

It's because you treat us like minor leaguers and we love the underdog tag

I'll be creating a specific section on the forum for our future expansion but wanted to give everyone a quick update of where we're at and my current plans...

-currently have 1 for sure and registered owner (Paul from NPBL, NDK-Paul forum name)
-2 others have expressed interest but still need to hear back to confirm
-plan is to expand from our current 16 franchises to 20
-current owners will have first option to become an expansion team owner before our potential new owners
-goal is to expand for the 2017 season but it's looking like that it will need to wait for the 2018 season
-specifics about how the Expansion Draft will be decided once we have 4 solid new owners

I'm excited about our future and thankful for everyone that's made our first nearly 3 seasons a fun and big success! Thanks guys!
