A wRC+ of 100 indicates league average. Something like, say, a 107 would be 7% above average.

Travis Faulkner, in his appearances so far, has a wRC+ of -100.

:blink: Wow. I feel sorry for him. He must be miserable. How did he even make the team? Were the coaches paid?
This is it. This matchday could very well decide who wins first place in our group. You'd need a cleaver to cut this tension.

Darn it Margaret. Now I actually have to outplay Schiltzberg to beat him. :roll:

Anyways, congrats, Schiltz. Can't wait to see how this tournament ends up.

It helps that there's been radio silence from 2 of the 3 teams I've played so far, and the other was a lower-ranked team. We're just going to run with the idea that it's my new manager, though.

Dude, I feel you. Literally the exact same thing happened to me in the last WBC. It sucks, man.

Also, what do you guys think of my music-related RPs? Is is cool or corny?

I like 'em. Hoenstly, you'd probably make a good run at WorldVision.

Only speaking out now because now is when I finally had the time, but I now feel glad that I got eliminated in the WBC. That means I've got the perfect setup for a new RP series I'm planning to get out sometime soon. Maybe next IBS, perhaps?

You do not want to know how badly Praetors' Point is getting torn up right now, with the riotous celebrations going down now because, for the first time, we beat Gregoryisgodistan!

This is also the second time in a row that RSY has beat the #1-ranked team overall (Maklohi Vai in 34, GGS in 35) in the round of 16.
