Tim Lincecum, One of Stutter's best young prospects, and a known stoner
1. How do you feel being stuck in the NL central with a lot of Strong teams?
im not so much "stuck". im sadly still learning certain things, attempting to pay attention to small things that will send me over the top oneday in the future. The Cubs have never ending talent, year after year. Pitt has a strong team and will continue to make noise, St. Louis seems to stick around just over .500 every year. Mil, i havent a clue whatws goin on inside steve's head. ive been out gmed but a Gmless Houston all season..get the fuck outta here with that...this is only thing bothering me. every season i make moves to what i think is improve and it keeps me a step below average season after season.
2. Do you see your team competing any time soon? What do you think it would take for your team to make the playoffs?
if you consider 2 years from now any time soon then sure. ive gotta find some financial room to get over the top. not having the money during FA is killing me. The reds need a solid pen, what they have is mediocre talent goin out there with the "oh lord, here we go again" mentality. My line up cant seem to get hot at the same time. one minute the top is puttin in work and and the bottom feeders are shittin the bed, next minute the bottom is gettin on and the top cant drive them in....
3. Do you consider Beckett the best pitcher around? Why or why not? Who would you rank 1-5 of top pitchers in the league?
Beckett isnt the "best" when you have CC,Johan, K. Wood, Prior, Jackson, Gissell, Affelt, Lincoln...and a host of others that are that much better than he is.
4. Do you have any plans to make more money from your team? You appear to be stuck in a pretty bad revenue situation with low fan interest.
i always have plans but even if i was winning, no one shows up to the park. Moving Berkman, fucked me, 100+ season after season fucked me. Im absolutely stuck. I cant figure out how to get outta this whole. If i could make money here like i do with the medical marijuana this question is a non issue
5. You recently made some changes to your stadium, do you feel it has helped your team so far? How do you plan to improve your offense despite the changes you made?
Ok, im a pitcher by trade(not very good) and i like to keep the ball on the ground with my slider and sinker...but here its a matter of keeping the ball in the park. i have accomplished that at home, im 35-28 at home bright spot yes, but away im 25-38, frown. a point was made once where your park ratings mean balls if you cant win away from home. #truth...Ive tried winning with what seems to be a team of singles hitters, little be of speed but no one is consistent. this team cant seem to handle lefties well, whaaaaaaa. if im still in Cincy i gotta make a move for a right handed power bat....i havea heavy dose of lefties and its not workin out
6. The Marlins have been one of the best teams in BBSBL. It is known that you are a real life Marlins fan, does it ever upset you to see the Marlins here have success that the real Marlins never seem to be able of having?
its good to see ashes have success with the marlins, that tells you he is a very good GM. good for him. and thank you for your service brotha. the real life marlins need to make major changes in the front office if they ever want to win and stay on top. You cant go around afraid to spend money and they sale them because they dont produce. it takes and entire team of production to win, not 2 or 3 high profile bums that slump 60% of the season
7. You have had several trades in BBSBL. What would you rate as your best trade? What one is your worst? Why?
you might as well say all my trades are bad. i haven't done shit with any move....its pretty short, sweet, and simple. i rape myself in the eyes of the league. i have an completely different view on value. i would rather buy mlb youth and sale aged talent but that hasnt worked. it turns into an 8 year waiting game. the worst mistake i made was moving CC for chump change, trading for biddle has turned into the best move for me. he turned into an $11 mil a year stud good 1,2 with beckett. Moving Neugebauer is my most recent mistake, but it was pointed out i spent to much time lowballing him so i moved him for a late round first( i like them better) and S. Wells who i like and think will pan out in my pen once Lincy is up and Bullington is 1000%.
8. The league has been a little light on events lately, It has been a few years since our last Trade Frenzy, and a while since our last post pad. Do you feel this league needs more events? Do you have any ideas for events that we could do that haven't been done before?
i take the events as a gift when we do have them. I dont look for or worry bout them, but i try to take advantage of them when they do happen. there is enough forum activity and a plethora of trolls so post counts should ALL be high and that generates money for each individual GM
9. Also on the topic of the league- Do you have any suggestions for improvements to this league? Anything specific that you think needs to be addressed?
the only thing i wanna see is 30 active GMs, not 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29...30! Some of our recent additions, come in active and die out, Bohs for example. we need a Co commish to sim when Erbes is in dispose with his work and friend zone experiments. soon Grad school...
10. Now, to break from this online stuff, and talk about real world stuff- You are going to become a father this summer. First of all, congrats! How excited are you for it? Do you plan to make any changes to your lifestyle?
thanks Bro, i'm absolutely thrilled to become a father. for whatever reason God has given me this awesome gift of a Son! Cameron Donald Andrews.
there is nothing wrong with my lifestyle, it just means i cant do certain activities anywhere remotely close to my son...at least until he is 18, when you can vote then you can smoke.
We move into a house in the suburbs of philly at the end of the month, i just recieved another raise at work. my son is going to be taken care of. the Support system from the obnoxiously large families Jenn and i both have is just out of this world. all of our friends are poppin at kids so everyone gets to grow up together( thats something i never had). i pissed away a full ride to George Mason,dropped outta high school twice, i pissed away a career in the navy. i will go outta my way to make sure my spawn of satan does not make the same mistakes i do( cliche? maybe)
