There are a passionate few of you here that have lobbied hard to get this game shifted toward whimsy instead of real baseball. It has hurt the game badly. Look at the popularity of the MLB-focused Baseball Mogul, which as a simulation is only a small fraction of what OOTP is. Not being focused on real baseball has hurt OOTP, and the more you push for whimsy, the less mainstream the game becomes. Left to yourself you guys would steer the game to be a totally customizable whimsyball game that had absolutely zero mainstream appeal. And the resulting lack of sales would kill the game for good.

And that's just the way it is.
