Took a Long Time to Come :: Let's Play OOTP 25 :: Ep. 27 (2032 Second Half)

[@emacgregor16]

📢 Make sure the apologies are as loud as the disrespect was 📢

[@andyj8841]

I’ll admit it: i wasn’t familiar with his game

[@MrTheBigNoze]

It only took 10 years 😂

[@cebolla1449]

“THE IMPOSSIBLE HAS HAPPENED!”

[@aidanstewart408]

"This is one of the great moments in the history of baseball!"

[@krsgator]

On my knees begging Bailey to sign some key pieces with little service time long term before they get expensive

[@andyj8841]

He’s been staying true to A’s lore lol

[@samuelzion3977]

The trick is to sign them after their 4 WAR breakout to keep them motivated

[@calebpembele396]

Anything is possible, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLEEEEEEEEEEE

[@TwoToneShoes]

GET IN HERE PITZHEADS

[@thatgingermatt]

IM HERE

[@FroyoMNS]

Waiver wire issues have been fixed, but only for saves made after the recent patch. Ongoing saves are unfortunately still stuck dealing with the waiver wire issues.

[@quipo6919]

160 games of a 164 OPS+ for Grear resulting in only 4.6 WAR. WAR does not know ball I fear

[@dissociate10k]

He's a DH that seems in line imo

[@ahogg5960]

Yeah that's what happens when you're primarily a DH who plays a bit of first base. That positional adjustment is a killer

[@spacedude1145]

Well, he mostly plays DH so it makes sense.

[@ogvektor]

215 AURA+ balances it out imo

[@ffv025]

“So using this equation in the upper left right here, I’m projecting that we need to win at least 99 games in order to make it to the postseason. We need to score at least 814 runs in order to win those games and allow no more than 645 runs” Just over 12 more runs allowed but Bailey nailed perfectly

[@mayitakeyourhatsir8632]

irl shohei ohtani just before the all star break has more WAR than chris grear got over a full season

[@edwinlam4679]

Hot take but Ohtani is pretty good at baseball

[@Legault397]

he's a Dodger now so MLB makes sure he gets those goldilocks balls smh

[@j.t.reilly9446]

Incredible comment

[@spacedude1145]

Great comment, lol.

[@morgul9832]

This has to feel real bad for Josh Mears

[@ajsciri4]

bro that pitching prospect Ambriz is 6'8

[@thatgingermatt]

MY TYLER PITZER CY YOUNG PROPAGANDA WILL CONTINUE

[@nate_storm]

if he doesn’t win it’s rigged, i fear

[@DiamondAcePlace]

I must say, congratulations Bailey! A good deadline, not doing too much and a hot run basically through the entirety of the Second half. The playoffs may be a different beast, as many are aware, but with the run this team has been on, the expectations are high. Good Luck in your first October as a GM, let's hope you won't need to rely on it.

[@nate_storm]

Mike Drake is gonna be a beast ripping through the minor leagues like that. Rotation is gonna be STACKED

[@lifeisboss7097]

Congrats Bailey! Big progress made this year. One thing I will note: in player strategy you can set options like "w/ dtd injury, do not play" and stuff like that to avoid having to put players on the IL to keep them out of action if the situation calls for it.

[@MAbe-ct8yt]

Foolish setting off the fireworks on the 4th!

[@tonychen3628]

below 1 WHIP! Crack that whip Pitzer!

[@Grimmothy13]

Massive congrats are in order, Foolish. Absolutely love this series and love to see your brand of baseball. The Rangers are a fully stacked juggernaut at the plate, but I believe in Oakland, baby. WORLD SERIES, HERE WE COME

[@maxwelltalley612]

It was never in doubt. The money just isn’t there. Moneyball was successful. Stupendous work.

[@isaacbarnhill192]

WE SO PROUD OF YOU

[@owen6114]

The Zombies reference just hit me

[@MackeyD3]

The best 4th of July celebration possible

[@JurassicParker13]

Really great stuff even though I’m sad to see my boy Skeete get moved

[@BUSCUS012]

Huge W for the zombies references

[@owen6114]

I wont forget the way you helped me up when I was down ✊😔

[@joseppi1121]

I'm so hyped.I always believed in you bb

[@SharksFan1997]

I can't believe it. They've done it.

[@ffv025]

10:41 They have a 3 game lead over the WHO??

[@nate_storm]

what a breakout from Grear the dev lab made him a star

[@nionnex1828]

Big year for the Grearheads

[@nate_storm]

this is the greatest day of my life

[@zachmilkis]

Feeling like a gaggle of Zombies when I see the notification and return to this Odessey. The Oracle foretold a playoff appearance!

[@remaracs6283]

🎉🎉🎉 rebuild complete!

[@Speedster___]

thumbnail made me hype

[@huntingtie3263]

this is great and all, but I just saw my angels lose 5 in a row to crash out of the last wildcard spot and I am reminded once more what it's like to be an angels fan.... congrats tho...

[@onlyskin634]

i feel like that video of patrick beverley celebrating winning the play in game 🫡🫡

[@alecgau4792]

LETS GOOO THIS TEAM’S GOT IT WE’RE GOING ALL THE WAY

[@CSkivvs]

I always believed. Looking forward to the playoffs videos!

[@notthemauler]

Mike Drake sneaky lifetime A👀👀

[@andrewsercer9538]

I'm late to the party - just started binging this series a couple days ago - but wow this is quite the turn around compared to the first decade or so of treading water (or worse heheh)

[@likeapetter]

I used to pray for times like this

[@AyyyCoco]

Best 4th of July ever

[@RileyAicher1]

Shout out to The Zombies. Also, I did predict this title last ep

[@robid]

Would love to see the Scouting tab on the Player page so that we can see the ratings change over time

[@RandyGoat]

Celebrate good times come on. Let’s celebrate.

[@need_distraction]

is that a Zombies reference in the title? very cool Foolish Bailey!

[@EthanSchaner]

If only I took a long time to come. :(

[@slimjimmypage]

[@sfgiantsfannewaccount1229]

THE FACT THAT THEY MAKE YOU PAY 10$ TO PLAY THIS GAME

[@guy2579]

“ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE”

[@KevinR-ub1rh]

Let’s go A’s!!! (Foot stomping!) let’s go A’s!

[@richardf7974]

[@cowjuice7768]

[@eurasianlynx5188]

Spoiler block 😬😬 ... ... How's your episode schedule gonna work with playoffs? Are we getting an extra video this week, or are you just gonna push the off-season video back a couple days?

[@Kennedy2523]

Big PAUSE ⏸️ on that video title Bailey 😭

[@lhdubs4503]

[@nate_storm]

#HireFoolish

[@Belangerz]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@danielwinkler2891]

We're winning the mf world series

[@redrangers12330]

Always time to choke in the playoffs

[@frankocean8866]

Foolish I finta cry

[@cukeumberr]

i have never played this game so i have no idea if this works. but people are saying that the waiver wire issues are fixed for new saves. is it possible to export the data from this save and then make a new one that then has the fix? i’ve done that in other games but idk if that’s more hassle than it’s worth or if that’d even work

[@owenouimet9602]

What they gonna say now

[@tyranttracergaming]

As I stated in a comment last video, the waiver wire bug where teams would drop their top prospects HAS been fixed, but sadly only for saves made after the latest patch. If you could somewhat acknowledge this in a video, that would do wonders, and many people in the community use your videos for guidance on their saves

[@YaBoyBTrue]

this title bro... pause

[@FinanMclaughlin-gw1mw]

No views in 12 seconds bro fell off

[@vojtechnovacek7776]

At least 5 bots in 12 seconds so all is in order
