Chris Baker Jersey: On Foolish Bailey Commemorative Beer Mug: Full Money: Ball MIddle Infielders: 60 OPS+ John Fischer: Wack I am so bought in for this season foolish. I want you to know that this Athletics team has the heart and soul of the community behind it. Excited for the simulated parade and riots in Oakland after this team changes the world.
Please start using your scout to scout the players you trade for. You have all offseason to make these trades. Having average scouting accuracy for these guys will almost guarantee they’ll underperform next season
1543 strikeouts for josh mears puts him 3rd behind justin upton & adam dunn for the most through age 30 in history with a K rate over 10% higher than both
I'm convinced that all this time as A's GM has given Bailey some kind of attribute blindness 😂 Like... Holliday is gonna be no better than a league average bat, and play good (but not spectacular) defense. That's not a trade that will make a meaningful difference.
Excited for this upcoming season, your rotation reminds me of the 2023 Seattle Mariners in that its a bunch of mostly younger guys who all have some nasty stuff. I liked a majority of the moves you made in the offseason for sure, i think making moves to improve depth was important and now we just have to hope and pray that your top 3-4 hitters do enough to effectively carry a majority of the offense
ichiro barely gets in it in this game, i think because it calculates WAR differently and the voting doesn’t factor counting stats or him entering MLB at 27. the HOF voting in ootp is generally awful and has no logical progression.
32:08 you can go to each player's individual strategy and tell the manager to not play them during DtD injuries. Wish you could do it for every player in bulk though.
Man, I’m going to have to grab some tickets to the Colosseum to see if I can grab a Chris Grear home run ball. Dude came out of the development lab swinging his bat like a true slugger!
BTW you can safely go down 5% on expected arbitration demands, if a player is expected to get 3,000,000 then you can offer them 2,850,000 or sometimes 10k more than that and it’ll always work
iirc he mentioned in one of the other ootp video series on this channel it’s in part because its more visible when watching an ootp video on a small screen or smth, but i could be wrong abt that lol
Did you check the OSA ratings on the waived players you thought seemed out of whack? Possible they're just guys your scout likes and the league doesn't, in which case it wouldn't really be cheap to take advantage.
Walker is like that on my OOTP cards team , wish its would happen IRL tho. And pretty gross to see a hall where Cano gets in and Wagner and Jones do not.
This is the best series on TH-cam This youtube the series is on best Best on is TH-cam series this the TH-cam the this best is series on who’s with me***
It's like he doesn't even want to win. He's adding free players to trades because he feels bad for the other team. He's opting out of signing star free agents because he wouldn't feel right doing so, even though other teams in the league will sign them anyway. Just don't get it.
Its like you are addicted to failure! The game is giving you free good players and you turn it down! I think you have put in enough graft to take a free pass once in a while.
I really considered watching this at 0.5x just to prolong the video
I literally bought OOTP cuz these videos are too short. Need more.
@@haydenfried1313Definitely should change it to daily upload cuz it’s his main channel🗣️🗣️🗣️
@@haydenfried1313same
I watch these at 2x speed
@@RupertMumphreySame. Definitely nothing against Foolish, but I just like getting through the stuff I want to watch faster.
Chris Baker Jersey: On
Foolish Bailey Commemorative Beer Mug: Full
Money: Ball
MIddle Infielders: 60 OPS+
John Fischer: Wack
I am so bought in for this season foolish. I want you to know that this Athletics team has the heart and soul of the community behind it. Excited for the simulated parade and riots in Oakland after this team changes the world.
Luis Castellanos really embodied the spirit of the A's by being in A ball for like literally 15 episodes
If next ep is titled something like “slow start” in offing myself immediately
Just smells of 84-78 we are so back
LUIS CASTELLANOS GONE?? THIS IS LIKE BUILDING UP A SHOW JUST FOR IT TO GET CANCELLED AFTER 4 SEASONS.
Welcome to Oakland
We need the Sincere Cabblestalk update after next episode
Please start using your scout to scout the players you trade for. You have all offseason to make these trades. Having average scouting accuracy for these guys will almost guarantee they’ll underperform next season
Considering his scout is heavily favoring stats over tools, it probably won't make much of a difference
That's not true. My scout has favored tools for like the last four seasons.
@@FoolishBailey ooh gotcha I saw people still calling the settings out the last few episodes, I am misinformed and should do my own research
Foolish, my sunshine, my pookie, the light of my life. Thank you for blessing us with another upload.
For Wrecked players like Termarr, you can go into player strategy and make him only play if his stamina is over 98% or something like that
I cheat and use the editor. Fuck that shit
putting my family farm on the a’s making the ALCS this year don’t let me down bailey
That’s bold cotton. Betting on the As to make the WC round is kinda iffy at this point, let alone ALCS lol
how many farms do you win if the bet hits
In classic Oakland A's fashion I am unreasonably excited for the upcoming season only to have everything go wrong and finish 70-92
After the way last season ended Wiggins would have been the first guy I traded away, can’t believe he’s still on the team
Just ordered my Chris Baker jersey to commemorate the extension. Can't wait till it's soaked in tears halfway through next episode
1543 strikeouts for josh mears puts him 3rd behind justin upton & adam dunn for the most through age 30 in history with a K rate over 10% higher than both
Ootp developers just patched out the top prospect waiver wire thing but it only applies to new saves, so that’s why it is still happening in your save
My knees hurt thinking of Devin Hicks being a 6'6" catcher
I really appreciate you consistently rostering one (but not both) of the Red Sox current catching tandem in McGuire/Wong
i’m 8 minutes in and he’s already going all in on someone with mid ratings it’s so joever bros
I'm convinced that all this time as A's GM has given Bailey some kind of attribute blindness 😂
Like... Holliday is gonna be no better than a league average bat, and play good (but not spectacular) defense. That's not a trade that will make a meaningful difference.
Literally traded for Dingus McFarlend after pinning the comment 5 episodes ago
Amazing how Foolish gets me excited for 29 year old 2½ star players
This is good and all but how is Cabbagestalk growing as a prospect?
Blud has had this thumbnail saved since this series started lfg
Maybe Holliday was terrible because the Mariners promoted him straight from A+ to the majors
Excited for this upcoming season, your rotation reminds me of the 2023 Seattle Mariners in that its a bunch of mostly younger guys who all have some nasty stuff. I liked a majority of the moves you made in the offseason for sure, i think making moves to improve depth was important and now we just have to hope and pray that your top 3-4 hitters do enough to effectively carry a majority of the offense
Actually this team in general reminds me a lot of the 23' Mariners with all of the platoons and random depth pieces in the lineup.
Fun fact: CJ “Shohei” Sampson is the real life son of former big-leaguer Chris Sampson!
Astros legend Chris Sampson
Let's go we got the A'sshat spring training finish 32:18
Love when the Civ terminology sneaks into his OOTP commentary - “Brady Harris who we COVET”
Ichiro Suzuki only getting 75% of votes as the average ballot only had 8 votes on it is wild like what the hell were they thinking
ichiro barely gets in it in this game, i think because it calculates WAR differently and the voting doesn’t factor counting stats or him entering MLB at 27. the HOF voting in ootp is generally awful and has no logical progression.
@@lhdubs4503 Dunno if this is true in the current version but in OOTP22 its issue was not factoring in his dWAR which tanked his JAWS & 7-year Peak.
Hayden Juenger is the goat. Glad seeing him get recognition in this universe. You should go after him.
luis castellanos died for our sins
Inb4 rhe next episode is titled "disaster start" or something like that.
Ethan Holliday getting drafted number 1 overall and not signing to be drafted number 18 later on is wild
you might be able to lowball the high Financial Ambition guys a bit in Arb because they're probably going to ask for too much
this is the perfect way to spend 37 minutes of my birthday
Happy birthday!!
Happy birthday
🎉🎉🎉
JP sears getting cy young votes heals my soul.
excited for the season! looks like a great club this year, hope the injury bug doesn't hit us too hard 🙏
This finally feels like the core that we have been waiting for
A #48 Mears A’s jersey would go SO hard
Inshallah these are the A's that finally get it done
you should stream the off season next time so chat could give you advice on areas you struggle at
I have a great feeling about this season Bailey.
32:08 you can go to each player's individual strategy and tell the manager to not play them during DtD injuries. Wish you could do it for every player in bulk though.
moneyball mentioned ‼️‼️
Make Luis Castellanos the 1st 16 year old to make the Majors
There actually have been irl.
i don’t ever comment but please stop trying to be fair and just go and win the game Bailey
Big fan of these moves in the offseason. If possible, can you show where Macko went in free agency?
I’m pouring honey on you GOAT thanks for another OOTP banger
was wondering when we’d see a Moneyball thumbnail
Man, I’m going to have to grab some tickets to the Colosseum to see if I can grab a Chris Grear home run ball. Dude came out of the development lab swinging his bat like a true slugger!
Joey vottos gonna be in the hall of fame one day
How many years playing in Oakland and we’re not in a new stadium?
BTW you can safely go down 5% on expected arbitration demands, if a player is expected to get 3,000,000 then you can offer them 2,850,000 or sometimes 10k more than that and it’ll always work
“Dogface” is a killer nickname
This series slaps!!
LESGOOOOO
we love ootp
I absolutely love this series. I just wish you weren't using those bloody stars. 20-80 w/ increments of 5 is so much nicer.
jp sears getting cy young votes in the big 2031
I wanna see Bailey start fleecing teams in trades
That Hao Zi dude develops a 3rd pitch he's gonna be a multi time cy young winner
Can you do an episode where you show us your strategy for scouting? You always seem to have really good scouting exactly where you need it.
Bailey is legit the only person I ever hear saying "covet" and it tickles me pink.
5:39 Goodbye Sweet Prince
The 2032 Oakland A’s will be a contender. Dare I say a playoff favorite?
This might be the most due for the playoffs a team has ever been
Can you explain why you prefer stars to 20-80?
iirc he mentioned in one of the other ootp video series on this channel it’s in part because its more visible when watching an ootp video on a small screen or smth, but i could be wrong abt that lol

“Against the competitive spirit” MY BROTHER IN CHRIST YOU HAVENT HAD A WINNING SEASON

Bailey, I want to believe. I do, but, i don’t. But, i want to.
Yay ❤
JP Sears down ballot Cy Young votes W
Last time I came this early I didnt have a son (and my wife who left me)
You’re being too nice to the other teams. Throwing in Petry for no reason is just plain dumb
I mean Mears has needed to go, he was never going to replicate that one big year. Should've cashed out then
thank god the sox finally won the world series in 2031 because the team immediately got dismantled wtf
alejandro ambriz is my new favorite player as a fellow alejandro just wish he was cuban
NOT MEARS NOOOOO
Chris Carter struck out so Joshua Mears could… also strike out
It's like he doesn't even want to win. He's adding free players to trades because he feels bad for the other team. He's opting out of signing star free agents because he wouldn't feel right doing so, even though other teams in the league will sign them anyway. Just don't get it.
wow Josh Mears is gone heartbreaking
100 win season incoming
Mears 💔💔💔
Its like you are addicted to failure! The game is giving you free good players and you turn it down! I think you have put in enough graft to take a free pass once in a while.
World Series or bust
please max your dev budget!!
boy is being a fan of a bad team sad lol. this is it! this is the year! we can do it! we can go .500 hahahaha
day 1 of asking for a sincere cabbage update
