It is hard for me to pass on a guy like Tim Lamb, he seems so developed for being a high school arm. I imagine he can start in High A, and maybe even be AA next year.
yeah but his demand is higher than his entire draft budget he almost certainly couldn't get him. I agree though likely an all time great. hopefully he heads off to college
This series got me to play ootp 23 bc my dad had an extra code. Took over the Angels, traded Ohtani and Isaiah Kiner-Falefa and some prospect for Franciso Lindor. Traded Hunter Renfroe for IKF and a SP prospect who is a 2 star rating but has a potential of 75 stuff. OOTP is surprisingly fun for a game thats basically just a spreadsheet.
Ben Cowan only detriment is that he has short arms. T-Rex joining the tiny silly but athletic Geese from Oakland together with Kris "Ryan Ogawa" Rangel. Who modeled his game after Ogawa who modeled his game after Nolan Ryan. Baseball Inception, Foolish edition.
Gage Jump must've been mad at Nick Starr since he allowed both of Starr's remaining runners to score before striking out the next three back to back to back haha
Huge fan of this! A huge Basque (probably never heard 😅) fan across the Atlantic Ocean following all your content. Ps: I even appeared in at least one OOTP 😬
even though you were doing fairly well, you’re not going to compete for a title this year. don’t be afraid to ship off some guys at the deadline like the O’s did in 2022 (trey mancini and jorge lopez).
I think you need to work on your lineup construction. I know its your series and your playing it, but at a glance it just looks wrong right now with the numbers you have. If Cuvet has a 408 obp and Mears has a 249 obp why is Mears hitting 3rd and Cuvet 4th? Their putting together the same power year. Its draft day. You've had so long to change this. I didn't get to see Baker's underlying numbers so maybe he's having a better year than his baseline numbers suggest, but .215 in the one hole would not cut it for me. I know you don't have a lot to work with, but maybe try either of the .250's who are having ok years in leadoff and see if they stick. Just move people around, even a little bit. Try to find something that works. And for the love of god stop putting your player hitting .179 who strikes out 250 times a year in your top 3 in the order. I don't know how much experience you have with lineup building, or how comfortable you are with it, but I think it's an area of improvement that will have tangible effects on your record. I've seen stuff like that throughout the series so I figure I should point it out so that it might help in the future. I fear the A's under John Fischer might just be cursed and there is no way to save them, but if you want to try, you have to be perfect. ps. love the main channel content, keep it up :)
8:13 if I was the manager I would kill Kennerly. The guy just walked the bases loaded then gave up two RBI on a hit by pitch and another walk and he's swinging at the first pitch he sees??? terrible
I know why you picked the As but whyyy did you pick the As?? It’s gonna take til at least the early 2060s to have a shot at a title. The computer generated players on your future world series team havent even been born yet.
Passing on Sincere Cabbagestalk has gotta be an all time fumble
How did I not notice that the first time???
That name grades out as a 120 on the 20-80 scale
I swear that Castellanos has been in A ball for 6 years
Fax
He’s a bust
he’s never gonna make it with that abysmal strikeout rating
To be fair he was signed when he was 16
Idk why Bailey put him in pro ball so early, he’s barely going to develop and he’ll have to be put on the 40 man soon
i don't care what his ratings are, when you see a guy with a name like Sincere Cabbagestalk, you HAVE to draft him. very disappointed.
I’ve drafted a dude based on name alone in The Show.
Boone Slaughter was the name.
Bro is gonna be a Hall of Famer for the Rockies
sincere cabbagestalk is one of the most insane names I’ve ever seen
Sincere Cabbagestalk? How could you not pick that name?
surely THIS is the season
They are gonna go 85-77 and then 70-92 the next season or something
I cant wait until Bailey sells at the deadline for some 3.5 star potential bum that immediately gets traded in the offseason
SURELY
Surely this is a season
26:10 Javian Howard with an all time nickname
Georgia Tech guy has to 🐝 a little weird.
wonder how you pronounce that
Sincere Cabbagestalk
Episode 2 of asking Bailey to max his development budget
not taking sincere cabbagestalk was a terrible decision
Sincere Cabbagestalk moment
Javian “tf is this” Howard 💀
SINCERE CABBAGESTALK
Sincere Cabbagestalk might be the greatest auto-generated name I’ve seen, but the pick after him being the Mets drafting CF Juan Soto is also peak
I vote for one pick every year to be someone with a funny name. If the A's can't win anything then they might as well be leading in jersey sales.
I'm with you
breaking: oakland a’s sign 41 year old LJ Hoes
bailey passing on cant miss prospects for high work ethic and high intelligence
holy shit kris “ryan ogawa tim lincecum” rangel
can't believe you skipped over literally Sincere Cabbagestalk
If only the budget to go over slot were higher, if only it could be adjusted
Fr
Gotta trade for Sincere Cabbagestalk
I cannot believe you sincerely didn't pick Sincere Cabbagestalk.
sincere cabbagestalk should’ve gone first overall. all time name
You had to draft one of the best names I’ve ever seen, Sicncere Cabbagestalk
Sincere Cabbagestalk may be the best name in sports history
Did you see Javian Howard's nickname?
Kris Rangel looks like a stud, and somehow even shorter than Lincecum and Pedro (5'9" compared to 5'11")
It is hard for me to pass on a guy like Tim Lamb, he seems so developed for being a high school arm. I imagine he can start in High A, and maybe even be AA next year.
yeah but his demand is higher than his entire draft budget he almost certainly couldn't get him. I agree though likely an all time great. hopefully he heads off to college
can't wait for OOTP ep. 24: Bailey covers all his remaining good players in bubble wrap
Sincere Cabbagestalk!!!
foolish is a rlly cool dude guys
I'm just here to upvote every comment that mentions Sincere Cabbagestalk.
Are we back?
Were we ever here?
Like chiroprac
back in the mud
20:52 HE SAID THE LINE
Your asking a lot of Andrew Wiggins I mean this guy played basketball his whole life
you made a FOOLISH decision taking Rangel over Lamb especially, but also Grider.
I like grider more too, but Rangel is certainly a good player. Ace caliber pitcher if it works out for him
Don't forget Cabbagestalk was there too
would Lamb have even signed? don’t want another Konnor Griffin moment
and Grider is younger with a lower floor and no good personality traits
@@AllenUA-camAccountnot a 2nd overall player tho
im ngl man i'd rather have jerry reinsdorf run my team at this point
We demand you trade for Cabbagestalk
Best series to ever hit youtube
This series got me to play ootp 23 bc my dad had an extra code. Took over the Angels, traded Ohtani and Isaiah Kiner-Falefa and some prospect for Franciso Lindor. Traded Hunter Renfroe for IKF and a SP prospect who is a 2 star rating but has a potential of 75 stuff.
OOTP is surprisingly fun for a game thats basically just a spreadsheet.
Only OOTPer I’ve ever seen that uses star ratings, rather than the 20-80 scale…
Skeete Skeete, goddamn
Boy that opening day was NOICE
Ben Cowan only detriment is that he has short arms. T-Rex joining the tiny silly but athletic Geese from Oakland together with Kris "Ryan Ogawa" Rangel. Who modeled his game after Ogawa who modeled his game after Nolan Ryan. Baseball Inception, Foolish edition.
24:45 THE NEW YORK METS PICKED WHOOOOOOO???
Boy it's sure nice to watch the Bailey lead Athletics winning big, surely this will keep up through the whole video.
Gage Jump must've been mad at Nick Starr since he allowed both of Starr's remaining runners to score before striking out the next three back to back to back haha
This season will be different, I’m feeling it
Your team trainer should be flipping burgers this time next season
No way he just took a 5'9" SP topping out in the mid 90s at second overall...
Javian Howard has quite the nickname
Of course you have a great start and then your 2 best players get injured for the season, can’t have anything in Oakland😭
we going all the way to the wild card this year 😭
Javian Howard's nickname is an 85 rating
Rangle is gonna be a stud
Missing the all-time great name of Sincere Cabbagestalk, but Javian Howard might have an inner circle nickname of KikA||A||A||A©
Danny will forever be known as "Danny Kinnerly or Kinn-ER-ly".
22:42 I think the plan is to take someone who doesn’t want more than slot here boys!
Come all yee Oakland A’s faithful
Could a 500 season be on the cards. What a treat we are in for!
Love ya bud
I feel like every time he has a player do well for one season they turn around and are horrible for several
What was the nickname of last pitcher you drafted? KikA?A?A?A©
Huge fan of this! A huge Basque (probably never heard 😅) fan across the Atlantic Ocean following all your content.
Ps: I even appeared in at least one OOTP 😬
Luis Midstellanos
Woop Woop 8
YOU CAN'T JUST BE UP THERE AND JUST DOING A BALK LIKE THAT
We are so back
Can someone let me know how to pronounce Howard (the last draft picks) nickname?
David “The Durable” Arriaga
You need to turn down injuries
Bailey how do you not even MENTION Sincere Cabbagestalk?
Aufrichtiger Kohlstängel
Also whats ne nickname of your 5th rounder?
26:11 his nickname is WHAT??
love a good completely unpronouncable nickname like Javian Howard's
what is up with howards nickname??
Can someone pronounce Jaden Howards nickname lollll
Bailey just popping in to let you know its pronounced "Ran-Hell" not Rangle lol
What was the aversion to Josh Couser?
extremely racist
Too many injuries
even though you were doing fairly well, you’re not going to compete for a title this year. don’t be afraid to ship off some guys at the deadline like the O’s did in 2022 (trey mancini and jorge lopez).
26:08 i'm sorry what is his nickname?

Too much Cabbagestalk and not enough about the Jays taking a literal CRICKET PLAYER in the first round
I know why you picked the As but whyyy did you pick the As?? It’s gonna take til at least the early 2060s to have a shot at a title. The computer generated players on your future world series team havent even been born yet.
